Via Locusta is a popular Italian restaurant that offers impeccable service and delicious food. The menu features seasonal dishes, including the recommended agnolotti, as well as the classic Cacio e Pepe pasta, which is simple but well-executed. The branzino is also an excellent choice. Some diners prefer the outdoor seating due to the noise levels inside. With great drink specials and friendly staff, Via Locusta is a favorite among Italian food enthusiasts.
The restaurant has received positive reviews, with customers praising the high-quality ingredients and expertly prepared dishes, such as the delicious ravioli, perfectly cooked chicken, and the icing-on-the-cake dessert. The chef's tasting menu is also highly recommended, offering great portions at a reasonable price. The focaccia and appetizers, like the focaccia with honey butter and bee pollen, have also been praised for their outstanding flavors.
While a few customers have noted a slightly snobbish air from some staff, the majority of the service has been described as friendly and attentive. Reservations are suggested, as the restaurant can get quite busy, especially during peak hours.
