Really on point. I have lots of dietary restrictions and Chef changed a dish for me with no questions and it was amazing. Thank you for a delicious dinner from start to finish.

Party of 4 for Dinner. We drove over 2 hours away to see what all the hype was about. Needless to say our experience was worth the drive and then some. Rustic inviting and warm ambiance with beautiful brick walls. We were greeted immediately upon entering and seated. Water and fresh garlic bread with most delicious vegetable olive oil come out automatically. Menu was extensive with a wide variety of southern Italian goodness which made it so hard to choose. We started with the crab cakes (amazing), fried calamari (fresh perfect crunch on the outside, not chewy or greasy), the bruschetta was to die for- all fresh ingredients. Next, out comes a mixed green salad with house balsamic vinaigrette. For drinks - we had the Moscow mule and lemon drop martinis which did not disappoint! For dinner we had the Lobster Ravioli in Light cream vodka sauce- My husband was blown away. He’s a foodie and says this was by far the best vodka sauce he’s ever tasted. I had the shrimp parmigiana with angel hair pasta. Sauce was amazing, pasta was perfectly cooked as well as the shrimp. Our friends had the spaghetti alfredo with chicken and shrimp. They both were in awe. Waitress was super sweet, attentive and brought out everything quickly. The chef even came out to check on us to make sure everything was good! Lastly, we had the Tiramisu, cannolis and cheesecake. Bottom line, come here asap. Staff is everything, great eats with generous portions and fairly priced. Only downside was that at the end of the day, the day had to end. Also, we were so fascinated by the good eats and atmosphere that we didn’t even take photos or look at our phones for that matter. Instead, we lived in the moment and enjoyed it all in real time. Highly recommended.

Nice location, beautiful atmosphere, great service, what could go wrong? The food!We stopped in near end of a long road trip for dinner. It’s really quite nice inside.Our meal however was sub par. Salad just didn’t do it. The eggplant parmesan was so tough I had to use a knife to cut it. Pasta was adequate but it tasted like canned sauce.Good dinner rolls with garlic and the house red wine was ok also.Maybe we ordered the wrong thing? Probably not. Tragic.

Verdict: Delicious southern Italian restaurant with generous portions, very professional wait staff in a beautiful atmosphere. Absolutely deserving of 5 star rating. Well worth your time and money. Details below.The food here is delicious. All of us ordered some sort of chicken dish; Picatta, Francais, and Sorrentino. I had the latter. It was in a delicious sauce, tender chicken, delicious eggplant, and prosciutto. The portions are large so we all had meals for two nights.They start you out with, I'm assuming, homemade bread. It's rolled with herbs and spices. I could make a meal out of just that with olive oil! It is served with fresh butter.Next is the salad. This was the 'low part' of the meal. The lettuce was all the same with very light green and crunchy leaves. I prefer more variety among lettuces and vegetables. Their house balsamic dressing was fine, but nothing special.As I said above all the entrees were excellent and all were served with pasta and salad. We also ordered two sides of broccoli rabe and spinach. I'm a huge fan of broccoli rabe and this was perhaps the best I've had anywhere.For dessert we had chocolate lava cake and lemon sorbet. I had the lemon sorbet. I prefer a much more lemony flavor than this sorbet had. The report on the chocolate lava cake was that it was fine but nothing special.The atmosphere is high end, but cozy. Very nice brick walls lined with bottles of wine. White tablecloths. Quiet and comfortable.This wouldn't be complete without a shout out to the wait staff. All very professional, well dressed and polite.
Very good just didn't like when employees were dragging tables across room to put tables together while I was trying t enjoy my food and ambiance . Food was amazing . Once they finally stoped dragging he tables loudly for twenty minutes I was enjoying meal . I pictures my Italian mom slapping me in back of head saying don't drag the chairs .

Trattoria Locanda truly excels in every aspect - from its delicious food, impeccable service, to its inviting ambiance. I've revisited multiple times since my first visit last year, eagerly anticipating each return. The staff's exceptional accommodation stood out. I mentioned a special from restaurant week (Pappardelle) that wasn't on the nightly specials, and they went above and beyond to prepare it for me. The wine selection was impeccable, the Caesar salad crisp and fresh, and the bread soft and warm - just the way I prefer. Thank you! -Shpresa
We came here with family to celebrate the holidays and my birthday on a Friday night. When you first walk in, it's nice and warm in a small cozy restaurant. It's so nice and cozy. It is loud in a packed restaurant way which was a little difficult for people with hearing aids. The staff is welcoming, friendly, and very accommodating. Our waitress, Danielle, is a warm and friendly server. The food, hands down, is the best locally. Starting with even the bread basket...the bread is addictive and the oil dip has delicious flavor. You can tell the oil has been infused with garlic which is amazing. We ordered the espresso martinis which were delicious and boozy, yummy yum. I ordered the spinach egg drop soup which was good but kinda bland. The crabcakes were AMAZING! They were not oily and heavy but filled with delicious big pieces of crab. The best I've had anywhere. I ordered the whole wheat special which had delicious dried tomatoes, chicken, and red pepper flakes that sold me right away. It comes tossed in oil. Hubby got the Veal Saltimboca in brown wine gravy which was tender and full of flavor. He order the risotto which I thought was okay. I personally would have ordered the pasta! The Sea Bass was the special and it was a beautiful piece of fish nice and hot. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our time at Laconda's and can't wait to introduce this restaurant to more friends and family.

We waited over an hour for our food, the wait staff kept walking by us nobody would come and give us an update. We only ordered penne with vodka sauce and a plain chicken parm. Half the wait staff was hanging out at the bar. I was thoroughly disappointed.
