Locanda Veneta

4.7

About this business

This tiny but cozy restaurant serves up excellent fare to those who call ahead for reservations. Dismiss the size of the place and focus instead on what the kitchen turns out: fresh pastas, gnocchi from heaven and a lobster ravioli that's as close to perfection as you're likely to get. The stone floors and packed tables can make the place rather loud but once the food arrives you won't want to talk anyway.

Excellent food, Great service – I've been here twice for dinner with my wife. The service was great. The wait staff and the manager were very polite and welcoming and took their time to explain the various specials. Good wine recommendations. We ordered entirely different entrees and appetizers during each visit and I can say that on both occassions, the food was excellent! The fish was perfectly cooked and the bolognese sauce with my pasta was superb!

NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE – This place was once a delightful, quaint, top quality place, however, since new management came it has really went down hill. The food was once upon a time very, very good but as of my last two experiences I have found that it lacks the quality, freshness and taste of what it once had... The service staff have changed (and not for the better) as they are quite eager to sell you bottled water but not as eager to keep your glass filled...They seem more interested in the final bill than the diners exper... read more

Good service,excellent Italian cusinie! – We had dinner days ago in Locanda, they got 2 busboy and 2 waiters, serving for about 6 tables of patron, they were so attentive and prompt, our water never ran half. So I really can't any clue about the bad service that mentioned in the previous write-up. We had their ravioli with white truffles and mushrooms sauce, that's exceptional! I would highly recommend anyone to try this.

INCREDIBLE! The Best Staff in Town! – Not only is the food at Locanda unbelievable, but the wait staff and the manager make the dining experience an absolute pleasure. Everyone there goes out of their way to make the diner feel like they are royalty. The menu has wonderful staples like the spaghetti with lentils and the roasted chicken, both of which are delicious. The nightly specials, which are written on a chalkboard include the most amazing filet of sole that I have ever had and a zucchini "flowers" appetizer that leave ... read more

awful service full restaurant only one waiter!! – Went to Locanda a few days ago and had awful service.. There was only one waiter and a busboy that seemed to be doing everything. We had to ask 5 times for our water to be refilled. Manager stood at the front ordering the busboy around while the waiter ran around like a chicken with his head cut off. The busboy was too busy taking out the food and bartending to get his attention for more bread and water. When spending $300 plus on dinner this is just unacceptable. With a full... read more

New Management is awful – Former Guests!! Locanda Veneta has traded a knowlegable, professional and caring manger for an egotistical, unknowledgable used car salesman. Fortunately the food is still great!!

Better service at McDonalds... – After hearing great things about this restaurant, I decided to take my girlfriend here for a nice little romantic date. The place was in Entourage, so how bad could it be, right? I called ahead, set a reservation for 7:30PM on a Friday night, and off we went. Within minutes, I realized our romantic date was destined to be anything but... Upon being seated and having the waiter take our order for soda and carpaccio, he soon disappeared. We then had to ask a busboy for bread, another waiter to ... read more
