Reviews
We had reservations at Saturday 6:45pm. We were seated right away when we arrived. They have big outdoor patio. There's an area with tent covering or no covering. We sat indoors since it was cold. We brought a bottle of merlot wine from a winery and paid $25 corkage fee to drink it there. We ordered variety of items to share: meat lovers pizza, meatballs, salmon ravioli, lasagna, and braised short ribs. Food was good! Fast service too. We mentioned that it was anniversary for our parents and they brought out some sweet alcohol shots at the end of dinner.
Locanda and Livermore never disappoints. I've been to Danville several times and Pleasanton once or twice, but I think Livermore is the best one. The same host, mick, is always working, and I like the consistency of that. They make good cocktails, but it's always fun to get an aperol spritz. I definitely prefer sitting outside, but we sat inside today and it wasn't so bad. I just like the outside vibe much better. The pizza here is good. I've had most, if not all, of them. Tonight we had the meat lovers pizza and it tasted extra good! The crust was really crispy, but not in an overcooked way. We also had the Locanda salad with prawns and that's one of my favorites here. I've had dessert here once, a tiramisu that was prepared differently. It did taste good though. This is definitely a go-to in downtown Livermore during the summer when you can sit outside and drink, cocktails with your pizza or charcuterie or salad... Or whatever you want!
Love this place. Refreshing drinks, delectable Italian cuisine and wonderful staff. Our favorite is their Secondi menu. The ambience makes for a perfect spot for date nights! Locanda is our go-to for special events!
This was our first time coming here but we were pleasantly impressed. We got the happy hour items - white wine flights and the following bar bites: Fiori Di Zucca: 5/5 Fantastic nuggets of gooey cheese with Zucchini blossoms, deep fried (or possibly even beer battered) and plated on a bed of marinara sauce, Parmesan cheese and arugula. Amazing and light! This was staff recommended :) Antipasti: 5/5 A lovely display of breadsticks, apricots, mortadella, salami, assortment of cheese (Pecorino, truffle and garlic cheese, tres leches cheese), pitted green olives, pickled chillies, almonds. Honey and onion jam (which was mind blowing!!) was on the side to dip and seal every bite with the right amount of sweetness. Ambiance: 5/5 we sat in the protected outdoor area that was warm for Christmas Eve. Both indoors and outdoors gave us vibes of Italy which was so nice.l to reminisce. Staff: 5/5 very knowledgeable about their food and super friendly
The best carbonara special! One of a kind. The owner treats you like family, and goes out of his way to ensure you have the best experience. Definitely need to visit this location! We will be back.
