Reviews for Locanda Restaurant in Chicago, IL
I stayed at the connecting hotel during most of summer 2019 while I had a stem cell transplant at Northwestern and became a... regular. The happy hour is great, the food is phenomenal, and the staff is amazing!!! I’ve since moved to Chicago permanentlyand cannot wait to go back and see everyone and have another out-of-this-world dining experience! Read more
The food was very good, though the pasta serving was so small as to barely cover the plate. You may expect smaller servings of... high value foods such as salmon or steak, but not pasta surely? Like the main course, the sweet we had, tiramisu, was the realthing - not mass produced elsewhere. I did /not/, however, appreciate having a 20% service charge added without myagreement! The service was pleasant and prompt, but nothing more. Done according to the script, but not because they meant it. Read more
The duck was excellent but expensive for such a small portion and did not include sides. The magic cake was disappointing and... not served as advertised (no raspberry sauce, and whatever the other stuff was wasn’t good). Service was decent. Read more
The location is convenient to my house. The dining room is comfortable and our waiter was very good. The mushrooms and asparagus... are really good. Meatballs were disappointing. Gnocchi sauce was too thin. Service was very responsive and overall a niceexperience. Definitely going to try again. I would suggest adding pizza to the menu. Read more
Honestly one of the best Italian restaurant I've been too! Prices are great, food is fantastic. It wasn't busy on a Saturday... night and our waiter was attentive. Will go back again. Read more
If I could give 0 stars, I would. We were given what I can only describe as leftovers. When we asked why we were charged $50 for... leftover cookies and marshmallows and if we could have a refund, the chef refused and gave us more terrible “dessert” thatwas just awful. The attitude and value were terrible! I do not recommend! Read more
Had the goat cheese squash, Chestnut ravioli, and penne arrabbiata and all were delicious. No wait, amazing service, and... excellent wine recommendation....a must try! Read more
We got a pizza last week and the desk clerk said we should have gone elsewhere. We got the pizza and it was small and didn't... look very good but it turned out not being too bad. $18 for what looked like a personal pan. Tonight, we ordered spaghettiwith pasta sauce and linguine with white lemon sauce. So dry we had to add something to liven it up. And that didn't help. Icould have done better myself and I can't cook. Bread was, we don't even know what the bread was and it was awful. $32 wasted.Definately won't go back and wouldn't recommend it to my dog. Read more
