Service wasnt the best. Mains had came and we still yet to get some water on the table or even a glass of water. Snapper was okay. Pumpkin pizza had heaps of flavour. Zucchini flower was nice. French fries were crispy. Waited 20 mins for my soy flat white
Great spot for Pre-show / Event drinks with a verity of cocktail,Mocktails,Tapas and desserts available. We tried the Black Forest pav and I have to say this black forest pavlova has to be one of the best I have had in a while. Great atmosphere #locandamelb #melbournewithkidz 🙌
We had a great work function here at Christmas- staff were very attentive and food was beautful. Its a great spot if you want that "private dining" feel. Was perfect for our event.
We recently hosted our end of year celebrations for 34 guests in the Locanda private dining area. We started with drinks and nibbles in the deli which was a lovely area to chat and mingle.
The atmosphere in the dining room was warm and inviting but still very elegant. Our 3 course limited choice set menu was delicious, not one complaint from the whole group! The service was amazing and the night was perfect. Thank you Locanda team!
I recently had my end of year Xmas function here for 11 of my customers. The food was absolutely outstanding as was the service! Highly recommend! Was great for a group but also had some beautiful tables for a more intimate setting. Every dish we ate was a stand out so hard to pick just one - steak was cooked to perfection if you are a steak lover.
Dined here for dinner last night with friends for a bday celebration. Dinner is set menu, select 2 or 3 courses. We all opted for 3 courses. I had the pork belly for entree, lamb shoulder for main, cauliflower gratin as my side & choc fondant for dessert. Everything I ordered was delicious & very filling. I also had a ginger beer mojito. Service was friendly. In the entertainment book so we got a large discount off the total bill.
We wondered over for Friday night drinks to catch up with an interstate work colleague.
We needed to head somewhere warm and cosy as we were freezing cold ecckk.
What a delight to walk into this cozy bar with a blast of hear air to warm us up.
We enjoyed a couple of glasses of reds as well as a serving of wedges. We were quite suprised to also be offered appetizers a range of dumplings, pork pieces and spring rolls what a treat it was.
I had my 40th birthday dinner for 24 people at the Locanda private dining room and I have not stopped receiving feedback from my friends and family about how good the food and wine was and what an absolutely amazing, warm and ambient environment it was! Everyone had a ball and I had the best night ever :)I cant thank Jenelle, Sophie and the team for an a more perfect night. It ran absolutely perfectly and I couldn't have asked for a better venue to celebrate my 40th! Outstanding job to all xx
We have been for their breakfast buffet. Loved the variety to suit all tastes. We will be going soon again. Keep an eye out for their vouchers on Groupon or cudo etc
Every month my fiancé and I would go try new restaurants and hope to enjoy some good food and Locanda had delivered. Very relaxed and enjoyable food was on point and the salmon was to die for delicious
Fantastic cocktails and such friendly staff. There chefs really know there trade well. The steak was beautifully prepared and presented extremely well on the plate. We had three different cut of meat and they were all cook to perfection.
Our family really enjoyed a great night out
We had a small lunch reception after a registry wedding at Locanda Private Dining and Deli. The events sales coordinator Emma was so helpful with any requests before the event.
Sheyenne, Daniel and Nancy made sure the lunch event went so smoothly. Their customer service exceeded my expectations. They were on point, helpful and friendly to all guests.
The staff also helped me to setup the venue perfectly. I was just floored when I arrived to see how beautiful it all came!
The food was amazing and so beautifully present from the yummy canapes to the plated meals! Our guests were so happy and left full.
I'd also like to thank the Chef for presenting our wedding cake so beautifully with fresh berries and cream.
As a bride with a hospitality and events background, I would highly recommend Locanda for any events in the future.
THANK YOU TEAM!
Excite your taste buds with the signature house dryed beef steak and yummy porterhouse steak 🥩, it was perfect. The Expresso Martini is on another level.
Locanda restaurant is located on the ground level of the Rydges hotel. We tried both breakfast and dinner menus and were extremely satisfied every time we had meal. Service was great, nice atmosphere and a great meals selection available on the menu. The dishes we tried were well-balanced with a great combination of high quality ingredients. The highlight of the night was the wine suggested by the waiter. Kids meals were good too. one of my kids had cheeseburger with chips and it was delicious. The other meal was margarita pizza, which I think could have been better: mozzarella was of a high quality, but it was just not enough of it and pizza ended up being too dry. Main meals were good and side dishes had a variety of healthy selection. Kids meals included drink, main and dessert for $15. Overall restaurant prices were what I expected.
Enjoyed the food, drinks and the overall ambience and service.
The desserts were perfect too, that finished off the meal nicely. 😊
Great food. Fabulous atmosphere. Perfect pre-theatre venue. Highly recommended.
