Locanda Vini & Olii

I enjoyed a meal here at Laconia Vini & Oli a couple nights ago and had an incredible time. Everything on the menu was great and excellent service from the front of house staff. It is so hard to find good Pici and it was phenomenal. The truffle pasta was equally impressive and I walked out of the restaurant with a definite desire to return in the future.

One of my friends favorite restaurants and it's easy to see why. Located in a hundred years old hardware store, this place was packed when we arrived. Despite that the service was so amazing. Our waiter took all 8 orders and drinks without writing a thing down and everything was perfect. The duck was delicious and perfect. Appetizers really hot the spot and the parpadelle was the big hit of the night. Definitely will be back again soon

My chitara pasta (the first pasta dish on the menu) was actually so good. Still thinking about it... Tiramisu amazing. Olives delicious and functionally bottomless. Wine overpriced c'mon now 😅 Very nice service I told them it was our anniversary and they gave us some candles in our dessert :)

After walking through the streets of Brooklyn I wanted some authentic Italian food. This place came heavily recommended and I tell you what it did not disappoint. We got their kind of late however that did not matter at all they stayed open until we finished eating. The service was out of this world he was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly and definitely helped set the mood for the night. The menu was expansive but wasn't overwhelming and the food was definitely a delight. I would definitely visit this place again next time I'm in town..

Lovely neighborhood restaurant, with a warm cozy environment. We enjoy getting a cocktail and pasta on a cold winter night just as much as coming by on a hot summer night and sitting outdoors. Locanda's friendly waiters and personable owner make it feel like a perfect neighborhood joint. A place we'll continue to go to for many years to come!

An absolute neighborhood favorite. Went for a date on a Friday evening and were pleased by the classic ambiance of the place. The host seated us instantly because of our reservation and the server was full of life. You can tell when people enjoy what they do, and it can definitely be said about the staff here. We tried the duck and mushroom pasta. Duck was pretty good, but mushroom pasta was the show stopped. We haven’t stopped talking about it since and will definitely go back and get our own plate next time. No sharing this pasta dish!! Finally, the tiramisu was soft and fluffy! A definite stop if you’re in the neighborhood.

Meal was very lackluster, especially for the price charged. The salad (with figs and gorgonzola) was very underwhelming in its flavors. The anchovy dish in particular was extremely disappointing: untoasted, cold slices of average bread, with unmelted butter and the anchovy on top is simply not a pleasant mouthfeel and it fails to bring out the flavors of each of the ingredients. The cocktails had a very syrupy mouthfeel and overly sweet flavor that masked any notes of the liquors used. Perhaps we "ordered wrong" but for the price it seems unacceptable that there would be wrong dishes to order. We had one of each pici and they were good, but not enough to turn the evening around. The space is very nice. The waiter was very friendly.

Great authentic Italian restaurant! The duck breast and lentils were delicious and so were the desserts. The past was very fresh and those who like tripe really enjoyed it. The space itself is impressive because it’s an old pharmacy that has been preserved.
