La Locanda

"All Access Transportation held our employee holiday gathering at La Locanda. One employee recommended this authentic, Italian spot in Brooklyn. It was phenomenal from the food to the service. It was warm and cozy. Our party was only 10 but we ordered many dishes from the menu. Stand-outs are the fried calamari and grilled octopus for appetizers. I ate the White Fish Rollitini. It was outstanding. The bread basket was rustic and what you could expect to get in Europe. The portions are perfect and also what you could enjoy in Europe. There is a full bar and there was a pretty decent wine section. It wasn't too extensive but I opted for Montepulciano. It was excellent. Desert stand-outs were the amazing, homemade yogurt pie and tiramisu. We loved our waiter and were treated royally. We will be back."

"This spot is fine for a casual night out for Italian. We ordered the veal parm and bolognese, both were good but nothing special. When we called ahead to see if we could make a reservation, we were told no. However, upon arriving we were immediately seated and noticed more than 1/2 the tables were open. Overall, it was a fine dinner but likely won’t return."

"The service was really good. I cant eat pork and ordered the meatball pasta without checking what meat it was. Our waitress didn’t even charge me. The food was great and prices where fair."

"I have been their customer for long time because my Italian family like this place. Very casual, like home cooking, staff is very friendly. I try all regular menu and party menu. They still have old system for accepting only cash for tips, that I'm not crazy about."

"Been eating here for 20+ years. Food is always fresh and cooked to perfection. Prices for dishes are way below the normal for such quality of food and service. The food is light and tasty, the way it's supposed to be; not overly cooked with butter and salt. Family owned and operated so you always get the best. Bringing friends and family here for years and everyone loves this place."
