Locale Neighborhood Italian Restaurant 60 North Alvernon Way, Tucson, AZ 85711

"Such a cute place with amazing food and great service! Our server with the shaving cream earrings was wonderful and kind. The food was excellent and the portions were BIG! Will return when I visit Tucson again."

"What a gorgeous and trendy spot that we really were surprised to find! Wonderful and speedy service for a 5p on a Saturday night. Even sat next to the garden indoors which was stunning with all the string lights. Every single thing we ate we enjoyed and hope to return for more! We got the meatball appetizer, the bread with walnut Gorgonzola and Burrata & Tomato salad. All of which were beautifully plated. My husband also had the shrimp Caesar salad and didn’t leave a single bite. My Agnolotti was a dream. I was pleasantly surprised by the nutty flavor from the brown butter and probably more hazelnut in the ricotta mixture than I’d expected. The peas were such a scrumptious part of this whole plate…that I had to take home the very few bites left. We certified look forward to returning if we are in Tucson any time soon."

"After being in Tucson for about 2 years and residing reasonably close to Locale – I am disappointed I waited this long to try it. Began with a glass of white wine and an IPA joined with the Calamari appetizer. The Calamari could not have been better. Perfectly cooked, not chewy, and crisp on the outside. Also, the presentation (photo attached) was worthy of an ad in ‘Food and Wine’. Often you can tell if a place needs to replace the fryer oil – not here, the Calamari was again perfect. Tried three slices of pizza pie for two people. More than enough and while not my style crust, it will not deter me from returning to sample other items. Finally, the ambience! If you hit a day with solid weather, dining in the courtyard is wonderful and refreshingly unique for the area. Bottom line, recommend and will definitely return. Thanks Locale!"

"My husband and I have been wanting to try this place out for awhile and I'm so glad we finally did! The bread was AMAZING! It was probably the best bread I've ever had. We also tried the calamari and fried artichokes and both were absolutely amazing! I had the tagliatelle and I loved everything except the meat. It just tasted a little grainy to me, but I think it's more of a preference thing. My husband tried the Penne and he got it with chicken, but said he should've just had it as is. The sauce and pasta were both really good though! Also... the portions are HUGE! Either come with an appetite or be prepared to have some food to go!!"

"We had dinner here while we were in Tucson. The atmosphere was very good. There’s quite a bit of seating. There’s both indoor and outdoor seating. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. They have a good selection of food options as well as a full bar. Our meals were really good and the prices were very fair. There’s parking in the back and side. Definitely recommend."
