New York | Locanda Verde: Only Two Dishes Were Good 🥲

My first visit to this restaurant was a bit underwhelming. While some dishes didn't meet my expectations, there were still a few worth recommending. 😔 The restaurant itself is really beautiful and has a very elegant atmosphere, which adds a lot to the overall experience. Unfortunately, we were seated by the entrance, which was quite noisy and lacked the dining ambiance. 🚪 If you have the chance to visit again, I’d suggest specifying that you prefer a seat inside or in the main dining area when making your reservation. 🌟 🥇 Lamb Meatball Sliders This dish takes the top spot! The flavors are rich and complex, and the meat is incredibly juicy. It’s a standout dish. If I were passing by in the afternoon, I’d definitely order a drink to go with these lamb meatballs. 🍔 Daily Special: Scallops They sounded delicious, so I gave them a try. The taste was decent, but the scallops themselves were a bit disappointing. They weren’t bad, but there was an odd texture and a strong briny flavor. 🦪 Salad Just a regular salad. 😂 Nothing special here; you can skip it. 🥗 Crab and Squid Ink Pasta This dish was really good! The crab pieces were large and firm, and the pasta had the perfect amount of chewiness. 🍝 #NewYork 🌆 #LocandaVerde 🍔
