Really cute place with lovely friendly attentive staff and delicious food. Went for a baby shower, I'd love to go back on my own to experience it on a more personal level.

Excellent food. Highly recommend their chicken and the vodka sauce I’ve ever had. Place was just amazing. The service was outstanding.

We had a great lunch at Locale. The waitperson went out of her way to have our questions answered. She was very pleasant and professional. The food was delicious. I was craving pizza and I was not disappointed.Vegetarian options: They will happily accommodate your entree

My boyfriend and I have found our new favorite date night spot! Locale stands out on Main Street. It's a spot for adults. Shakeel has been our server twice, with consistently professional, friendly, and knowledgeable service. Their pizzettes are the perfect starter. More than enough to share and all that brick oven flavor! We can't get enough of the chicken parm! Big servings, delicious red sauce, and the pasta is cooked perfectly! I also absolutely love the Grubfather! Their vodka sauce is on point! Finishing off our meal with the chocolate lava cake with vanilla ice cream always leaves us so satisfied. Can't recommend this place enough!

well, first impressions last. ambiance it is stark, industrial and uninviting. the bathrooms are more for a warehouse. there is no particular discernible theme. the online menu drew me to choose to eat here. the baked clams, while whole clam, were served in a shell with a compacted bread crumb topping maybe with some cornmeal mixed in. they were room temperature at best. served on a plate of yellow sauce. not appetizing. Arrincini - rice balls were crispy outside and creamy inside. Deep fried foods...how can you mess up too much. Caprese salad- tomato and mozzarella salad- how do you mess that up. Described on the menu " fresh mozzarella/beefsteak tomato extra virgin olive oil/cracked pepper/basil" however it was served to us, NO olive oil NO basil. its a simple dish for goodness sakes. So i had to ask for basil and oil and finish making the dish myself. oddly each time i asked for olive oil i expected it like most Italian restaurants serve it -in a decanter. NOT Locale. they bring a little tiny bowl. id prefer to choose my own amount i want on my food and to not keep asking the waitress. we were not willing to take a chance on a main dish and even reconsidered taking home a brick oven pizza when we noticed the young girl cooking the pizza was about 15 years old and busy listening to her earbuds - not particularly the pizza chef we expected. and then....they take a pizza , put it on a metal pan and slide it into the "Pizza Oven". Pizza ovens are intended for the dough to lay on the heated surface and crisp up, not a metal pie pan like dominoes. i wasn't willing to take the chance. oh well, make your own decision. maybe your standards are different.

If you're in Patchogue check out Locale. We were seated promptly, our server was attentive. Wine choices were good (we're not wine snobs). The Mozzarella en Caroza and Fried Zuchinni were excellent. I had the Linguini Carbonara. While not classic Carbonara (was more like an Al Fredo cream sauce) it was awesome and generous portion. Highly recommend.

A couple of friends and I go out every Friday usually to a new restaurant. Tonight we came here. The service was excellent. The wine was excellent but we ordered margaritas and they were awful. We even tried a more expensive tequila and it was just as bad.To eat we had the calamari. Delicious. I had the Gnocchi with mushrooms and chicken in a creamy pesto sauce. Excellent. My friend had a pizza with mushrooms she said it was delicious. My other friend had salmon. It came out twice taw in the middle. The third time they put it in the microwave (suggested by my friend) and then it was overdone ?. It tasted fine but would have been delicious if they had used a thermometer to verify temperature. The side dishes were excellent. The spinach was delicious.After we were done one of my friends decided to get a cannoli. She liked it.They did take the salmon off of the bill.Overall it was a good experience. We would go back again to try other drinks and dishes.

I've been here twice and the grubfather is always my go too. The mozzarella sticks are nice and crispy. You have to take a brick oven pizza to go home with as well. If you still have room for dessert I would suggest the affogato

Always 5 stars for us! Their staff is great and their food is outstanding. If you like gorgonzola get the rigatoni it is perfection!!! We love their pizzas and their apps. I highly recommend the zucchini appetizer. yum! The ambiance is my favorite, fancy but still comfortable. I love a glass of wine here, always consistent.
The ambiance when you walk in - adorable. It is all decorated with snowflakes and hearts for the season, such a cozy vibe. The service - wonderful. Our server Shakil (hope I spelled that right) pointed us in the right direction with food and was super attentive. Saving the best for last - the food was INCREDIBLE. My boyfriend and I shared the grubhub, which is linguini a la vodka with a chicken cutlet. The sauce was perfection especially with the melted mozzarella, and the chicken cutlet was perfectly crisp on the outside and so juicy on the inside. Mouth watering to think about. The prosciutto arugula pizza was fantastic, the crust of this pizza was literally perfect and the fresh prosciutto paired great with the arugula. Lastly, we ended it with tiramisu. Wow. It was the melt in your mouth tiramisu you dream of, with some chocolate syrup topping it off (nice touch). During the meal we were already talking about coming back! Can't wait!
Service stunk..was there on Friday night about 7...place wasn't crowed ..hostess was doing 3 things at once...got table ..took about 15 mins before waiter came..didn't get food for at least a half hour
The service was good and so was the good. My husband ordered the crusted salmon and I ordered the eggplant parmesan with spaghetti. It was delicious. He ordered an espresso martini and we shared the margarita pizza as an appetizer. This was our second time here and we will be back again.Vegetarian options: Eggplant parmesan, salad, pizza, pesto gnocchi without the chicken
Recommended dishes: Vegetarian, Margherita

Writing on the Open Table message box that this was a Birthday Dinner, one might think that the hostess, waiter or manager would comment, read, take action. Seems like we interrupted a fast food break as the hostess greeted us sipping on a to go cup.. Odd. Didn't bother to ask if we had ever been here prior, nor did she care where we wanted to sit. She might have asked or made note of the BD request for a padded banquette area. A quite night with irritatingly slow bar service, pre-occupied employees, and an overworked server left us without drinks, without refills on 4 very expensive wines by the glass (lost revenue) without touch back to even see if our food was good. This experience left us with no real service or the desire to celebrate. We didn't even order a cake we were so disappointed. $260, really? for pasta and bad service. Unfortunately, this establishment is suffering - Ok food with lack luster service equals lost repeat business. You Can Do Better.
