Locanda Wine Bar

Locanda Wine Bar - Review - Livermore - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"If you aren’t lucky enough to have a wealthy friend with an Italian villa and a top-tier wine collection, this spot is the next best thing. Like its sister location inPleasanton, the outdoor space, with a tasting bar, barrel tables, and large umbrellas, is our favorite place in Livermore to enjoy a glass or two when it’s nice outside. The indoor space also channels the feeling of a Tuscan vineyard, with black-and-white woven chairs and barstools and large paintings of sprawling vineyards. The wine list includes both local bottles and imported Italian ones, and the menu is a bit more scaled back than Locanda’s other locations, and skews toward the lighter side. Don’t skip the San Daniele pinsa, topped with peppery arugula and prosciutto, or the lemony branzino. Finish the night with a glass of dessert wine and the creamy panna cotta smothered in a perfectly sweet mango puree." - Gabi Moskowitz
