Ristorante La Locanda — Restaurant in Rome

Not sure how the positive reviews about this place came in considering the very very disappointing experience here - certainly the worst during our stay in Roma and in summary a rip off. Headed there for a quick diner as were checking the movie theater nearby. Ordered a steak for 10 euros - which did not included any side dishes. Understood after, these had to be added and payed separately. Very very thin piece of meat as a result. We were charged additionally "coperto" / 2 euro per person, supposedly for the "bread basket" which included solely 2 thin 3 cm long pieces of bread - charging of which of course the owner did not mention before hand. Regretted too late not taking a pic considering the absolutely minuscule quantity. Although i can understand the idea of charging, the concept of bread basket would be actually to place some bread in it!! Similarly, the chocolate mousse for desert would barely have fit 2 coffee spoons (small ones) What a freaking rip off!!! Left hungry and angry. Not used to give bad reviews - prefer spending the time providing good reviews but fell the need to avoid other travelers the same experience with this place. No wonder it was practically empty despite all the movie goers. Maybe we have been unlucky - owner was indeed very courteous as some other reviews pointed out - but certainly cannot and will not recommend. On the plus side the ratio price / minimal quantity of food provided certainty helps if you...

We had dinner at La Locanda, our Airbnb host recommended us to go there, and the food was amazing! We really recommend you trying it, it is homemade food, grandpa/grandma style. If you’re looking for authentic local food this is the place to go!

We shared a mushroom pasta, and a steak (like steak au poivre!) the meat was juicy and tender and the sauce really good! The pasta was delicious and at the same time light.

We also ordered a green salad and a warm pecorino cheese with honey and nuts, and wine!

The restaurant is runned by the owner, who’s welcoming and lovely.

100% recommend going here, even if the decoration is a bit outdated, it gives the...

Ristorante di cucina emiliana-romagnola nel quartiere Salario di Roma. Gli interni sono semplici in stile abbastanza classico-antiquato, una sorta di ritorno alla comunque sana semplicità dei ristoranti di quartiere cittadino di qualche decennio fa. Potrebbe piacere o non piacere, ma per noi è stata una rilassante variazione al continuo aumento di ricerca esagerata di nuovi stili di arredamento. Ci hanno accolto i 2 comproprietari Sig. Massimo e Sig. Mario, quest'ultimo simpatico e signorile romagnolo DOC il quale ci illustra con precisione e maestria il menù in ogni dettaglio e ci serve la cena con professionalità e discrezione. Sui piatti da noi provati abbiamo riscontrato l'appartenenza alla tradizione della cucina emiliano-romagnola, precisando doverosamente che non abbiamo sufficiente esperienza di tale cucina. Buona materia prima, buoni ingredienti, buona preparazione e buon impiattamento. Certamente si percepisce una certa attenzione e cura in cucina. Rapporto qualità-prezzo diremmo giusto relativamente al contesto. Un'esperienza soddisfacente che ci sentiamo di consigliare a chi volesse assaporare degnamente...
