LA Locanda in Brooklyn

Such a gem, especially on a warm summer night! The calamar in red sauce is fantastic. The red sauce in general is tip top for the neighborhood. Have yourself a night on the Graham Ave riviera!

Awesome meal

Great environment and amazing food!

I go to this outstanding restaurant many times as I love the special air that is unique to this restaurant. The crew is exceptionally loyal and qualified. The service is very rapid. Most important, the food they prepare is first-rate. I came often and I was always pleased. The price is decent. I recommend this place to my friends and family.

Amazing food. Amazing ambiance. Owner's and staff seems like family and are inviting you to be part of it. Did I say...amazing food? AMAZING.

Fabulous restaurant. Delicious pasta and sauces, reasonably priced. The owners are warm and inviting make you feel like family. Love this place.

home like atmosphere. great food. nice portions. fair pricing. delicious. definitely recommend.

I have been coming for years and food is always good. My daughter loves the baked ziti. But my favorite is the owners" homemade cheesecake which is out of this world! It is as fluffy and light as a cloud looks and not too sweet. She never makes enough and only has it on Fridays and maybe Saturdays. Make more!!

Really great Italian, family owned/family run, locals restaurant

This is a small restaurant, but has really great food and interesting menu selections. The waitstaff are friendly and helpful. The food is fresh and delicious. This is a definite strong recommendation.

My husband and I are new in town and were looking for a special place to celebrate our anniversary. We came across with "La Locanda", gave it a try and I just have to say it was the BEST decission. The evening was AMAZING, we loved everything. Nice, cozy place, with EXCELLENT food and service. This will definitely be our new favorite restaurant... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Good pasta and friendly staff. Great selection of wines. The gelato truffle dessert wasn't good, but they have a very long list of desserts that I would be willing to try. I'd go back there again.

Excellent food!!

A family owned, authentic Italian restaurant. We popped in here after seeing good prices on the menu on the window. Little did we know we were walking into our new favorite restaurant. The atmosphere was quaint, yet we felt we were in a different place then the bustling city streets. Out came the homemade whole wheat bread that was fresh and warm. The service was so nice, as my fiance and I get into deep conversations over dinner, they service didn't linger yet our cups never hit bottom, and they took great care of us. Then, the FOOD. My fiance got the lasagna ( a true test of Italian we like to say ) and I did the Penne Alla Vodka. Homemade sauces that electrify your taste buds. Perfect. No other word.So, I HIGHLY recommend this spot. You will not be disappointed!

The food is excellent, the service is superb. Nice place to take the family for dinner.

Quaint old school style restaurant with a nice back room for either a family or other type of gathering which is what I was attending. Had never been here before and was very pleasantly surprised. Clean with attentive service but not intrusive; the food was very good with ample portions very reasonably priced. Parking in the area is a bit tight but the place is worth the effort.

I don’t know how all the other reviews are raving about this place.The staff and atmosphere are the best part; the food, not so much. Our wine was sour, the chicken tasted old, the penne al vodka was bland, and the salad was extremely vinegary.

Very good

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.

15 dollars for penne vodka with grilled chicken hat was the size of a small side dish. (Carmine's up the street is $10, and triple the size) Pasta was over cooked. Chicken looked like scraps and tasted rubbery. The bread they gave us was basically old sliced rye bread.

Always a great meal. They make you feel like one of the family

Prices were great for the large portions and friendly service. I had my dinner here and it was exactly that I ordered and it was delicious and well served!

My favorite neighborhood spot! Everyone that works here make you feel like family. Has that old school feeling but in the best way possible, no frills just good food. Order the teggiano salad, you can never go wrong with the specials, always substitute for fresh pasta, and you must have a piece of the warm crusty bread. And it’s all reasonably priced with large portions.

No longer a choice for us.Once upon a time, the food was excellent, without exception. Now, I don't know what happened here.

The place is unpretentious. The service is excellent. They do not rush you out. The food take a little time to come out and it's because everything on your plate is fresh. I had the linguini and clams. The clams were small but they stack them on the dish was absolutely amazing. The portion was very generous. The sauce was light and delicious. I didn't leave a pasta let alone a clam on my plate. One of the best I have had. I highly recommend this place. I came all the way from Long Island and it was definitely worth my trip.

The service is great and the food is amazing also there yogurt pie is to die for I highly recommend this place.

Great food, always fresh and homemade taste. Very authentic and intimate for that homestyle italian dining experience.

I told my friends about this place with my highest recommendations. I visit this place often. This recommendation is always successful. The dishes they serve are delicious and the crew is efficient and cooperative. Whenever we eat in this place we enjoy a splendid time. warmly recommended.

Attended a surprise birthday party in the back room and it was great! The room was very private and comfortable (probably around 60 people). Everything ran very smoothly with the excellent pacing of the courses. The entire staff was very polite and accommodating.. Started with cold antipasto platter for each table consisting of sliced meats, roasted red and hot green peppers, portobello mushrooms and mozzarella and tomato. Excellent bread as well. Two pasta dishes were very good, followed by entrees (choice of chicken parmesan, baked filet of sole, or veal marsala). Everyone was very pleased with whichever dish they had. At the end, they provided a delicious assortment of Italian cookies. Very nice choice for a special party.

The main dish food and drinks were great. I had to take a couple stars off for the wait time from when we ordered our food and when we received the entree. It was quite long. Approached 45 minute wait, and the place wasn’t very crowded. Also, we ordered the cheesecake for dessert and it was basically a very small slice that had a mushy almost pudding like consistency.

Homemade pasta with veal ragu.....delicious

Excellent food, service and atmosphere!

Food, service, atmosphere..we just loved the place.

Unreliable kitchen. Kitchen is always closing early. Lame.

Good food. Good service. All round happy place to dine

Very good food and Excellent service

Excellent! You for delicious food and great service..

Sadly, much of Italian Williamsburg is long gone yet somehow, this place has lingered on as some sort of punishment for those few unfortunates unlucky enough to have wandered in. If you are the sort of person who loves the chicken parm at Greek diners, perhaps this place may suit you.

Great food and service. A great family restaurant. Go here and you will not be disappointed.

Amazing food and folk. Love this place...huge recomendation is....fresh fusili with Vodka sauce.

The staff was great, the appetizers were good, the entrees were very bland had no taste. We had chicken parmesan & filet of sole oregganato, small portion no flavor at all.

Incredible homemade pasta with super tasty tiramisu. The espresso is perfectly pulled and the seafood is expertly cooked. Do not miss this spot!

Great classic Italian restaurant that's family-owned. The food is truly old world Italian and awesome! Though pricier than some of the other Italian restaurants in the area, it's worth it for a classy evening out with your loved ones. My wife and I eat there and always leave fulfilled.

huge portions, great price and good service.

Family run, the food is great service is great I love this place last of the great restaurants in the Williamsburg Brooklyn area up there with belmonte and frost

The best the best the best

Exceptional and flavorful food, I loved the character the spot has, and the staff members were super friendly. Will definitely visit here again.
