Amazing food. Fresh pasta and duck. Augustine the server was so knowledgeable and friendly that just elevated the experience. Not to add, the restaurant has an amazing vibe being in a historical landmark that was once a drug store.

We came to this restaurant tonight for my mom’s birthday. From the moment we walked up, service was ON and stayed that way until we left. The food was delicious and authentic - we got three different pastas and all were done beautifully. Had an amazing glass of wine recommended by our server. They celebrated my mom’s birthday without hesitation and really made her night!! Such a great neighborhood spot.

As a restaurant owner I can only admire this restaurant. We came on a busy night without reservation and the hostess was kind enough to give as a table. Our waiter Alessio was extremely nice and knowledgeable, he suggested a great wine and guide us trough a really great culinary experience with perfect timing in between courses. Dishes were perfecly executed. Money truly well spent. Can’t recommend a better restaurant in the area.

We came here for the Valentine’s Day prix fixe menu and everything was super solid and delicious. Portion size was perfect (and I’m a big eater). Service was wonderful and attentive as well. Honestly it felt like we were in Italy, nothing on the menu or the experience was americanized.

Locanda is the finest restaurant in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. Terrific food, fantastic wines and a great staff in a hundred year old building that used to be a pharmacy. House made gelato too.

An absolute neighborhood favorite. Went for a date on a Friday evening and were pleased by the classic ambiance of the place. The host seated us instantly because of our reservation and the server was full of life. You can tell when people enjoy what they do, and it can definitely be said about the staff here. We tried the duck and mushroom pasta. Duck was pretty good, but mushroom pasta was the show stopped. We haven’t stopped talking about it since and will definitely go back and get our own plate next time. No sharing this pasta dish!! Finally, the tiramisu was soft and fluffy! A definite stop if you’re in the neighborhood.

LOVE this restaurant! It’s so much more than a wonderful neighborhood spot! The service is wonderful, the owners are friendly and accommodating. I am obsessed with their ice creams!

After walking through the streets of Brooklyn I wanted some authentic Italian food. This place came heavily recommended and I tell you what it did not disappoint. We got their kind of late however that did not matter at all they stayed open until we finished eating. The service was out of this world he was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly and definitely helped set the mood for the night. The menu was expansive but wasn't overwhelming and the food was definitely a delight. I would definitely visit this place again next time I'm in town..
