Homestyle Italian Food – LaLocanda is one of the very best places to eat in NYC. I have known Cono for over 20 years and have followed him since he opened his first pizzeria in the same neighborhood. The food is prepared perfectly. The calamari is as tender as can be. All his dishes are made fresh and on the spot. My favorite is the Chicken Alla Cono. Also, no matter what I order, Cono always has a dish of meatballs ready for me. Excellent. Any one that has a bad experience here must be someone that either has NO clue about ... read more

I really hated this experience – The waiter was rude. Obviously the owner's son and doesn't give a rats ass about the clients. The food was all from a can. The waiter couldn't be bothered to take orders, he sat at a table all night with his friend. We left after 3 bites of food. We will never go back. This rates as the worst Brooklyn experience I have ever had. I have lived in Brooklyn for 10 years.

great local brooklyn place – I went there with a group, and the owner - chef just kept asking us whats next, after he suggested some dishes. Everything He brought out was very good, and not overly spiced restauarnt fare, but like Mama's home cooking. Delightful! We sampled several platters and all were excellent. Worth the trip to Brooklyn..

fantastic fine – fantastic food - always fresh and plentiful. Daily specials! If you haven't been yet - what's keeping you? Try the Chicken a la Cono! also, this restaurant was recently awarded the prestigious 5-Star Diamond Award in Hospitality Services!! Better hurry before word gets out!

Excellent family food – Great service, great food and a very homey atmosphere... also the prices are amazing. It's probably actually cheaper than cooking yourself! I recommend the angle hair pasta and shrimp dish... really tasty.

Good service - poor food – Carmine's, up the street on Graham was closed for vacation. Ok, we tried La Locanda again. What a pity. The service here is very good. The staff most accomodating and friendly. A nice setting - even if a little sterile. But the food !!! Started with the Calamari. Not horrible, but tasting very much of the frying oil. A little fresh lemon helps. Main courses: Penne a la vodka, not bad. Pasta properly done. Nice, light, pink sauce. Eggplant parmesan : a dish of mush. So overly cooked it was nothing b... read more

GREAT for delivery! – I haven't actually eaten in the restaurant, but get the food delivered pretty often. The chicken margharita is GREAT. What's weird is sometimes they giv eyou homemade pasta, and sometimes not. THe homemade pasta is fabulous..mmmm... Penne vodka is great, also. GOod prices. Odd hours - randomly closed.
