The Scene – Well-known as a star-spotting scene, this place actually delivers, even if some of the beautiful crowd may only be soap stars. Intimate (read: shoehorned) seating also provides for a genial relationship with your dining neighbors. – – The Food – Solid northern Italian cuisine comes in generous portions without too much fanfare from the lively, open kitchen. The star of the starters is the fresh burrata cheese with grilled radicchio, seconded by achingly tender calamari. Move on to the giant garlicky roasted prawns or rack of lamb, delicately aromatic…

bad bad bad

dinner this evening , ordered the special zucchini stuffed flowers (over fried tiny sad food for 17.00 . egplant mozzarella with pasta .(dish was bland over cook and left on the heat lamp to long , next dish lasagna 21.00 ( over cooked to the point of dry and burnt sent back . Place is far to pricey for the junk the push out of the kitchen . one party was sending dishes back and forth and i donot blame them. This place needs to close , its dirty, disheveled and poor quality . its the old hat place you do not want to go to . had a discussion with manager regarding the evening and he made excuses for everything . And just when i thought it was over i went to the restroom and there was a family of roaches walking out of the kitchen probably leaving for the same reason . Stay away !!!
- Pros: nothing
- Cons: nothing

I've been here twice for dinner with my wife. The service was great. The wait staff and the manager were very polite and welcoming and took their time to explain the various specials. Good wine recommendations. We ordered entirely different entrees and appetizers during each visit and I can say that on both occassions, the food was excellent! The fish was perfectly cooked and the bolognese sauce with my pasta was superb!
- Pros: Excellent food
- Cons: Can't think of anything
NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE
by mvioli at Citysearch
This place was once a delightful, quaint, top quality place, however, since new management came it has really went down hill.
The food was once upon a time very, very good but as of my last two experiences I have found that it lacks the quality, freshness and taste of what it once had...
The service staff have changed (and not for the better) as they are quite eager to sell you bottled water but not as eager to keep your glass filled...They seem more interested in the final bill than the diners experience..
Used to be a favorite but no more...
- Pros: location
- Cons: food, management, new chef
Good service,excellent Italian cusinie!

We had dinner days ago in Locanda, they got 2 busboy and 2 waiters, serving for about 6 tables of patron, they were so attentive and prompt, our water never ran half. So I really can't any clue about the bad service that mentioned in the previous write-up.
We had their ravioli with white truffles and mushrooms sauce, that's exceptional! I would highly recommend anyone to try this.
- Pros: excellent food
