Don't Miss It!!: This place was great. The service was excellent..the food fantastic and the atmosphere was outstanding..the best Italian food on the beach..with the hottest servers..

The two owners are from the Marche region in Italy and you cannot get more authentic than this place! It is small, intimate, and while the menu rarely changes and is limited...NOTHING on it is less than stellar. My ex boyfriend was Italian and this is one of 3 places (Specchio & Rosinella) in Miami he would go to for authentic Italian (like Mamma's). Every time you go here, be assured that the owners and the waitstaff will remember you and treat you like family.

LaLocanda is the place to eat and find new friends: Rarely do u get this feeling in the hustle and bustle of south beach. This outstanding gem of a restaurant is like taking a trip to Grandma Spagetti's house.

La Locanda is by far my favorite restaurant in Miami and my favorite Italian restaurant...period. There is so much I can say here. Not to be rushed or complicated, you're able to sit and enjoy your company, the AMAZING food and meet new people. The owner(s) always making a point to meet everyone, taking their time to ensure everyone is enjoying themselves. Great wine selection and the food...do yourself a favor and order the 'pear purses'. I wouldn't change a thing. Thank you La Locanda, I'll see you in May. ~ Vegas

La Locanda is Superb!!!: Can't say enough about this place. Not only is the food heavenly, the wine list is savvy and they always make me feel right at home!

This is my favorite pasta place in all of Miami. Like REAL Italian should be. I recommend the taglioni con gamberetti and zuchinni. Absolutely DELICIOUS!

Soup was good. A little salty but not too much. The meat sauce yesterday was a little salty too come to think of it. The soup was thick and the vegetables are al dente. A couple of carrots tasted raw-ish. Can't wait for the pasta...

When asking for recommendations this restaurant was always missed and I don't know why. I stumbled upon this on the web and thought to give it a shot. Small warm restaurant with good italian food.

On the Florida trip in August 2011 we have tried several pizzas. Whether in Ft. Lauderdale Daytona Orlando Ft. Myers and Key West .... was never better as the pizza at La Locanda in Miami Beach. It was also the owner Francesco very friendly and very good mood. Too bad that we have only eaten there once.Greetings Sascha and Nina from Germany
