Fantastic food, weak service

We ordered the olives, calamari (served with a wonderful roasted red pepper dip), penne arrabiata, and the grilled prawns. The penne was excellent, and the prawns were cooked perfectly and prepared simply, a good complement to the spicy arrabiata. We ordered the dishes to share, and the kitchen split our pasta into two dishes before serving it, a nice touch. The weakness was a neglectful waiter. Once we ordered, we had to flag him down for anything we needed, even when we had empty wine glasses. And the person serving the appetizers placed one in front of each of us, even after I indicated we would share, which left us to rearrange on our crowded table for two (almost knocking dishes onto the floor) so we could both reach.

So Happy They Are Back

I posted here in June saying things had become bleak at what was once my favorite spot in town, but now that Chef Brian (the original chef) and Tammy are back Locanda is once again a place to enjoy a fantastic meal with excellent service. If you ate here in the past five months and had a bad experience I am asking you to give them another chance, you will be happy you did.

Birthday Dinner at Locanda

Went for my fiance's bday dinner last week and had a wonderful experience. This was our 2nd visit and it was even better than the first time. Food was wonderful, service was great, and since it was a Thursday night and not super busy the bartender spent time helping him pick out the just right scotch. I highly recommend the pasta with brown butter, cauliflower, and greens - I loved it both times I tried it. Also the special of broccolini(?) ravioli was a wonderful starter. We ordered way to much and took home plenty of leftovers to enjoy for the next day's lunch:-)
