Locale Neighborhood Italian

Fabulous local Italian trattoria. Everything is homemade from the focaccia, the lasagna and any of the pastas. The serves and nice and the restaurant is a former home that has been expanded several times. Beautiful wood beams throughout.Come and enjoy a delicious meal.

Always a wonderful experience- today was no exception! Wonderful meatball pizza, eggplant parm and tomato sandwich. All fresh and delicious We ate inside and admired the gorgeous day that is February in Arizona. Service was spot on. Locale is always a good idea

I want to start off by saying, I've been to Locale before. It was great and I very much enjoyed it. So much so that I would recommend Locale as a romantic date night. I enjoyed it so much so that when it came to romantic Valentines Day plans, I turned to Locale to supply the food and back drop for my date with my special someone. Big mistake.Here's the thing, I had no problem waiting an hour and ten minutes for a table, nor did I have a problem with the fact that said table ended up being a high top expertly placed by the restroom. Our service wasn't terrible but was certainly nothing to rave about. Unfortunately the most unforgiving thing was the food. I mean, it was truly terrible food. We were first greeted with what seemed to be a brick pulled from the very foundations of the restaurant itself but was apparently bread. It was terribly oily and cold. And the pesto sauce was almost certainly store bought pesto sauce. Just terrible. This was followed by the most disrespectful display of an appetizer I've ever faced. A cold ball of raw mozzarella cheese sitting atop ice cold tomato sauce. Awful the bread that accompanied it, awful. The Cesar salad, oil soggy, awful. I mean, I truly feel sorry for anyone who stayed for the full length of the courses. I kindly asked if we could just pay for our drinks, and we left.I will not be returning to Locale ever again.

Visiting Tuscon for the first time and decided to stop by because my wife was craving pasta. The location and restaurant area is absolutely beautiful. Definitely a place to take your family or go on a date. Our waiter was very attentive and knowledgeable. We ordered the prosciutto butter bread - $6, spaghetti - $19, Sfoglia - $19, pear pizza slice - $5, strawberry lemonade - $4 (free refills). Their bread is absolutely amazing. You must try it if you go. The prosciutto butter wasn't that great. The Sfoglia is a bit on the salty side and too heavy for me. The spaghetti was a seafood garlic clam spaghetti and was amazing. Do not get the pear pizza slice. I didn't enjoy it.

We visited with a group of six on a Tuesday evening and waited about 45 minutes to be seated. At first, we were surprised by how busy it was for a weekday, but it quickly made sense when we learned it was Neighborhood Night - their special buy-one-pasta, get-the-second-half-off deal. This turned out to be an amazing value. We ordered nearly every appetizer and pasta on the menu, and the total bill was shockingly affordable.The outdoor seating area was impressive, with spacious patio sections and a large grassy area perfect for families and larger groups. It had a lively yet relaxed vibe, with plenty of large chairs and tables - a perfect spot for weekends or after-work hangouts. They even have lawn games and extra seating around the corner! The appetizers were fantastic, especially the bruschetta, fried calamari, and broccolini. The pastas were hearty and delicious, with the lasagna and tagliatelle standing out as some of our favorites.I highly recommend checking this place out, especially on a Tuesday night. The food is excellent, the atmosphere is inviting, and the Neighborhood Night deal is too good to pass up!

Food was just phenomenal, 20/10. Service was communicative, respectful and helpful. Ambiance was lovely at night with heaters working well. All this for $60 too!! Definitely recommend!

Do not bother with the meatballs. Sauce was pretty good but the meatballs tasted and looked like there was little meat in them. They were dry and more resembled bread than meat. We also had broccolini and chicken. Both were over cooked and hard to cut with the dinner knife. Caesar was okay. We sat inside and if you don't get a booth the chairs are very hard and a utilitarian wood type. Service was bare bones. Will not be returning.

Great place for a date night. they have a big parking lot in the back. there is a beautiful patio with heaters which really sets the ambiance. inside there is a bar, fireplace with a seating area, and a wine store. we arrived at 7:30 pm on a friday with no reservations for 2 people and waited about 45 minutes. they take your number down and text when table is ready. while we waited we got drinks at the bar which helped the time go by fast. they had spritz which just reminded us so much of when we were in Italy 3 months ago. the service was fast and accurate, and the food is delicious.Very generous portion sizes. we got the seafood pasta,salad and tiramisu.

From the coffee to breakfast and dinner is absolutely fantastic. It's delicious and always fresh. Service is always very welcoming and helpful. The ambiance makes you feel like you're somewhere in Italy on a vacation. The decor and layout is so beautiful and a must when visiting Tucson.

Love the ambiance of the outdoor patio. Great vibes, great food. We had about an hour wait at 6pm on a Sunday night; granted Monday was a holiday. Our only complaint was the lasagna seriously lacked in meat, very heavy noodles, the sfoglio was pretty good. We really enjoyed the fried artichokes and aioli. Locale is a great spot to bring out of town people to, definitely will return and recommend.
