The Mexican corn was yummy. Had the Rellino (vegetarian) and it was delicious. So much food , wish I could've eaten it all. Very cozy and pretty quiet even though tables were close to each other

You would think the pasta would be good in an Italian restaurant or atleast fresh. It’s not. We ordered 4 different pasta dishes that had no taste we needed to keep adding salt and pepper. Very underwhelming, we could have cooked pasta better at home. They rushed us to leave and my plate wasn’t even done saying the place will close in 10 min. Won’t be coming again.

Kid-friendliness: They set up our table in the back room- was so comfortable for us. Also provided high chair, beverages in paper cup with straw. They checked us very often to see if are doing good. Highly reccomend.

All Access Transportation held our employee holiday gathering at La Locanda. One employee recommended this authentic, Italian spot in Brooklyn. It was phenomenal from the food to the service. It was warm and cozy. Our party was only 10 but we ordered many dishes from the menu. Stand-outs are the fried calamari and grilled octopus for appetizers. I ate the White Fish Rollitini. It was outstanding. The bread basket was rustic and what you could expect to get in Europe. The portions are perfect and also what you could enjoy in Europe. There is a full bar and there was a pretty decent wine section. It wasn't too extensive but I opted for Montepulciano. It was excellent. Desert stand-outs were the amazing, homemade yogurt pie and tiramisu. We loved our waiter and were treated royally. We will be back.

The food was pretty good and the restaurant manager was very friendly. Prices were very reasonable and I enjoyed my dish. I thought the server was bit rude though and pushy and didn’t clearly explain the policy for splitting checks.
First time at La Locanda a pleasant experience.Delicious food generous portions and good service.Will go back again.

This spot is fine for a casual night out for Italian. We ordered the veal parm and bolognese, both were good but nothing special. When we called ahead to see if we could make a reservation, we were told no. However, upon arriving we were immediately seated and noticed more than 1/2 the tables were open. Overall, it was a fine dinner but likely won’t return.
