La Locanda Ristorante Italiano

J.F. Forests

Three friends and I went here for late lunch and were less than impressed esp. since it's a long haul coming in from the far West Valley and hoping to have a special experience. They had salads and none were anything special, but I had the linguini and meatballs and it was the most expensive meal. It came with nothing else and was a measly portion with meatballs rubbery in texture, but to be fair the homemade pasta had a good texture and the sauce tasted fine, but not even a slice of garlic bread was included and when I asked if I could have some bread was told to just ask my friends since their meals came with some! Guess server expected me to order a $5 bread bowl. Come on, c. $16 and I can't even get a slice of bread?! That's just cheap and creates a very unwelcoming atmosphere. On top of it, he complained about the inability to get good help and although it wasn't very busy, he didn't do anything to make us feel special and welcome and we had to wait about 30 mins. to get our checks after our plates were cleared. No need to return there when there are so many other places to choose from in Scottsdale, esp. since there's nothing memorable about the decor and has no interesting views. It's too bad. We were really looking forward to a classic Italian restaurant experience.

I thought the entrees were decent, but the service and venue were underwhelming, especially given the price. Go to any other Italian restaurant in town instead. Also, worst and smallest calamari order I’ve ever had.

We met with some friends, a table of 6. I can't say enough great things about this restaurant. The service was impeccable, and the food was FABULOUS. 3 appetizers, 6 different meals, and a dessert, and every single one was delicious, hot, and fresh. And the music was fabulous! Super great atmosphere all around. Thank you for the great night!

An AMAZING experience! Started with the muscles, had the gnocchi for my main, and the chocolate mouse cake for dessert. I was unbelievably full at the end, but I wouldn’t have changed a thing! The staff was amazing and knowledgeable!
