My wife and I were visiting south beach from New Hampshire on vacation. We attended La locanda for dinner. The food was amazing. I had the vongole and my wife had the fiocchetti. Both meals were amazing and authentic Italian dinners. The service was excellent....Our waiter even gave me a drink on the house after desert to celebrate our birthdays. I highly recommend this restaurant if you want excellent Italian food with a relaxing experience.More

We visited the restaurant while on vacation from Toronto, happy to have found the place. We were celebrating my daughters 15th birthday. The “stuffed crust” pizza was a huge hit, we ordered it to share with other apps. We had 5 different pastas and each...one was amazing, the fresh noodles and sauces blended beautifully. The staff was so friendly and added a nice birthday surprise for our daughter. One of the owners, Massimo, came over to wish her a happy birthday and talk about his venture to Miami from Italy, what a gem. I would highly recommend this restaurant.More

I spent new year's eve at Locanda Restaurant in Miami Beach. The place is quite small and close to an adjacent restaurant. However, the atmosphere, food and service were amazing. The restaurant was full. The quality of food is excellent. The waiters are collaborative and...polite. The manager is extremely friendly and courteous. Highly recommended for italian food lovers.More

The spinach and riccata ravioli was amazing. the service was great and we really enjoyed the atmosphere. It is about 2 blocks from the beach, and well worth the walk for a delicious cost-effective meal.

Excellent Italian cuisine and a Pandemic survivor. I have been dining here for a number of years and was most pleased they have survived the Pandemic. I think they have the best pizza on South Beach. Each is individually made and you can tell the...difference. They have an extensive list of pizza options. But this is not just a pizza place. I almost always start with a salad. I have tried several over the years and they were good, but I usually have the La Mista which consists of a melange of leaves and chopped tomato in a light vinegarette. A number of the pastas are made from fresh pasta and are so marked. I always have their lasagna and it was as good as ever. I I have never been disappointed by any of their pasta. It is not unusual for Italian tourists to dine here. It is also family friendly and children are welcome.More

This is not my first review of La Locanda, as we’ve been going there since they first opened 18 years ago! However, this was the first time we’d been for Brunch and it was a perfect Valentine’s Treat! Bartender Kyle made a terrific Bloody Mary...and I started with a mimosa. My husband chose the French Toast which he kept saying was “amazing”. I had the LaLocanda Benedict which was perfectly prepared. Sides of potatoes, sausage and bacon were also great. Last week we stopped in for dinner and enjoyed some of our favorites - Di Rucola Salad, Strozzapreti La Locanda and Mussels in tomorrow and wine sauce. We shared their dark chocolate profiteroles for dessert! Combine expertly prepared, authentic Italian food with gracious service by Cesare and the warm welcome all guests receive from Co-owner, Francesco Cavalletti, great drinks by Jessica and Kyle you have all of the ingredients for a perfect meal any time of day!More

Not sure why this place is so well reviewed. First night we went there was only pizzas and salad available. Kitchen malfunction or possibly a chef issue. Second time the team were very friendly and efficient but the food was average at best. Classic pizza...base with uncooked toppings and my wife’s grilled salmon which she asked for well done was sent back twice for being neither grilled nor well done.More
