Locanda RI

Wow - what an amazing dinner! Every element of the evening was top-notch, from the food to the service. Our server, Larry, was attentive, genuinely personable and provided excellent service. I started with the Salerno Sidecar ($14), and it might just be one of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. It struck a flawless balance between sweetness and bitterness, with an incredibly smooth finish that made it dangerously easy to sip. For my entrée, I chose the house-made gnocchi ($29), and it was divine. Larry mentioned they make it from scratch, and it absolutely showed—each bite was like a soft, pillowy cloud, perfectly complemented by a rich, flavorful sauce. We all shared bites of each other’s dishes, and not a single plate disappointed. I sampled their chicken Toscana, chicken Milanese, rig

Don’t under estimate this restaurant hiding below the Holiday Inn at the tower. The food is excellent. Wish I hadn’t waited this many years to try it. Everything is 10/10 House focaccia Orriccetti with sweat Italian sausage, broccoli rabe with pistachio pesto. Short rib ragu Affogato Chocolate budino Not pictured was the eggplant rollatini

We had a great meal with great service tonight at Locanda. My wife had the Parpadelle Bolognese and I had the little neck clams over fettuccini. Both meals were excellent. We started with the fried Roman artichokes and they were so good!! Our server was so attentive and friendly. A+++

It started with the hostess who was just lovely. Then our server Garrett was just a total Gem and the food was amazing! So delicious and tasty. I had leftovers and even after reheating the next day for lunch it was just as good. Made me want to go back to Locanda for more. The server really made the dining experience wonderful but it was nice to see the entire staff participate in the service of their customers between food running to clearing plates to cleaning tables near by. The entire staff worked as cohesive team. You completely forget it’s attached to a hotel on the side of a highway. That’s the only reason I didn’t give the atmosphere a 5 star review.

Amazing authentic Italian food. I was with a coworker who is Italian and been in U.S. for 10 years and he was also very impressed and actually order a whole loaf of this and ate the entirety after eating almost the entire first loaf by himself.
