- Emily WilsonJuly 22, 2015Romantic and adorable Italian resto in a converted old pharmacy. Feels like you stepped straight into Tuscany. The sliced steak with arugula is always delish.
- Joanna FlammMay 25, 2014Really lovely, perfect for a romantic date. Order the quartino of prosecco--it comes in a ceramic jug. One salad, one pasta, one entree, and a cheese plate was the perfect amount of food for two.
- Nicole CloutierOctober 3, 2015Italian vermouths made in house, a list of 8 negroni variations, rustic braised chicken livers and a super foxxy maitre' who reminded me of Adriana La Cerva from The Sopranos! Like!
- Stina P.July 12, 2015the taglierini al tartufo (five words: shaved black truffle, white asparagus) is just delightful. sit outside on a beautiful summer night
- Vianney BrandicourtNovember 10, 2014Beautiful restaurant. Wood paneling evokes an old Italian library or pharmacy. Recs: Thyme maltagliati w/ roasted mushrooms. Pignoli cookies for dessert. Service isn't in-your-face. Great vibe overall
- Leah Mollin-KlingApril 21, 2019I’m not sure why this place gets such good reviews. The homemade bread was bland as was the beet salad. The house red and the wild boar were tasty, though the pici was too sweet. I mean, it was ok.
- Serious EatsJanuary 7, 2014Splurge on the secondi at this century-old pharmacy-turned-Tuscan gem, or (wisely) build a meal around the antipasti and excellent homemade pastas.
- Stefano BiaggioniApril 11, 2013Great decor, lovely vintage furnitures and boiserie of a old pharmacy drug store... The menu is complete and the food is great, but the distinction is in the bar... Genius inventions!! You find out :)
- Food NetworkAugust 10, 2011Ted Allen hungers for the Italian cuisine at Locanda Vini & Olli in Brooklyn, NY on Food Network's The Best Thing I Ever Ate. We recommend the Duck Breast w/Fruit Compote. Find more tips at FN Local. Read more
- EthanMarch 7, 2015Great service, could spend hours looking at all the old pharmacy stuff that's all throughout the space. And yes, very tasty Tuscan Italian food, too. I'll be back like Arnold.
- Justin WelshFebruary 2, 2014Wow...where to start. Great service, awesome atmosphere. I absolutely loved the chicken livers. Some of the best I've had. Pappardelle? Yes please. An overall amazing experience.
- Calvin TeohNovember 24, 2014So rustic. Feels so authentically Italian too. Not American-Italian but Italian-Italian. Also inside a cute old drug store. Perfect for a date or at least a friend your mildly attracted to.
- Kyle TurmanDecember 23, 2014Superb wine selection with authentic and unique Italian food. If you have 4 people, definitely try the tasting menu.
- Matthew SchmohlJanuary 29, 2017Come here to understand life and Italy. The cod with leaks is like being in Vernazza. Salt when salt is needed and no salt when no salt is needed. Necessities from tripe and liver up to duck and pate.
- Village VoiceAugust 15, 2014Ensconced in a former pharmacy, Locanda is an expanded wine bar, with deep bows to Lupa and Pepolino, featuring semi-wild notions like seafood charcuterie and a reconfigured lasagna called lasagnette. Read more
- Julie FApril 28, 2013This is one of the best meals I've ever eaten. Go with friends and do the tasting menu. Get house wine for your second round -- they measure the bottle with a ruler: you only pay for what you drank!
- Natalia KhilchevskaJanuary 26, 2017Great place for romantic date...house wine and duck highly recommended..it is better to make reservation..too popular place
- Justine LamJanuary 23, 2015Omg, everything was so delicious. Authentic Tuscan style cuisine, freshly made pastas-- try the mushroom and chestnut one, the tripe dish, and their Rhubarb spritz.
- Dustin LeeAugust 7, 2017Anchovies, Pappardelle, and the Duck Breast makes for a perfect meal for 2. Inside is lovely but if it's the summer, try to get a table outside.
- Always an excellent choice but especially on a Sunday afternoon when the tables are outside and the house wine is flowing
- LukeFebruary 21, 2016Ordering the steak at an Italian place is usually a mistake, here it's a requirement. Amazing pastas, too. Fresh and rustic take on Italian that never misses
- Mia AFebruary 10, 2017Great interior with old-fashioned drugstore vibe; not very large portions but delicious and pasta perfectly al dente. Get the black pepper pici pasta!
- Jordan MJanuary 7, 2013This place is such a gem. Romantical [sic] vibe and insanely good handmade pasta. Last time I had the thyme maltagliati, yum!
- Argelys OriachOctober 10, 2016The fettunta, fig salad, sage pappardelle and olive oil cake were all incredibly delicious.
- Asia LindsayNovember 10, 2014Beeeeeeautiful venue. Just gorgeous. Yummy food and wine too. The limoncello was a bit too sweet for my liking but the espressos made up for it.
- karen bonna rainertMay 18, 2011This place is so delicious. Maybe the best traditional, rustic Italian food I've had in NYC. The baccala and leeks over chick peas is wonderful. For wine, you can't go wrong with Rosso di Montalcino.
- Claudia FilthAugust 28, 2020Everything is amazing. Amazing rustic cooking. Veg lasagne is the incredible, as is the the green salad. Heaven.
- Kwame Taylor-HayfordAugust 25, 2015love this spot. try the tasting for parties of 4 or more. the duck and steak are epic. pastas are great too.
- Guan LiFebruary 16, 2015Great ambience, delicious pasta, a bit pricey if just for a "imtoolazytocook" sort of meal, but definitely a great place for family and dates.
- Manisha ShahJuly 15, 2012Delicious everything. Had a great salad with sliced peaches and almonds. Bread soup was delicious. Good wine selection and really nice service. Great local spot.
- Leigh AnnOctober 28, 2016Gorgeous, cozy spot. Great service, Matthew is an awesome bartender. Great food, great drinks.
- Jarel HillMay 4, 2019Wild boar pappardelle was one of the best pastas I’ve ever had. The duck was amazing too. Top notch spot
- ZacharySeptember 16, 2016the grilled duck breast was excellent, as was the pasta with black truffles.
- Michael TyznikMay 17, 2015Super cute, delicious food, and surprisingly reasonable prices. They just started doing brunch and it's not too busy yet.
- Lots of great choices but my favorites: any of the negronis, chicken livers, sage pappardelle, olive oil cake.
- Sandro LipariJune 3, 2018Get the Campagna board, tripe and wild boar pappardelle. Finish with the pistachio olive oil cake. Locanda forever 🙅🏻♂️
- kat.mckorkMay 12, 2017Properly cooked Italian, fresh and colourful, great wine recommendations, quick and polite stuff.
- Liz TanJuly 14, 2016Make a reservation ahead of time, this place fills up quickly. Then, order anything. You won't go wrong.
- Michelle LeedsFebruary 12, 2017Cod with potatoes and leeks dish was delicious! And the olive oil cake for dessert was spectacular.
- Beatriz Lopez-BermudezJuly 5, 2016Desserts were amazing! Pasta and wine delicious. I'll definitely come again. Highly recommended.
- LizFebruary 1, 2017The pesto gnocchi and sample of olives were really good. The seabass with leeks was pretty good. The burrata was disappointing.
- DebbieApril 11, 2015This place has the best olives and olive oil. The best cheese plate!!! And the pasta dishes!!!
- Kathryn DMay 10, 2016Lovely ambience and authentic food. Save room for the almond cookies at dessert.
- Ksensei KJune 22, 2012One of the few and best legit Italian places in NYC, even thought vitello tonnato is with pork for some obscure reason.
- NY WaterwayAugust 23, 2012Sign up for the tasting menu. Too bad they only hold these once per season – but well worth it! The Tagliatelle al Ragu is delicious!
- Michaël JarjourDecember 15, 2013delicious and authentic Italian food, amazing staff, intimate athmosphere. all thumbs up!
