Locale Neighborhood Italian

“Food was amazing. I really liked the Calamari, we ordered 3 and I ordered one more just for myself. Then I ordered this pear pizza..looked odd on the menu so I thought to give it a try. It was really good too. Its a little sweet and I am not a fan of sweet, but this was really good and I would order it again.”

“During our family visit to Tucson, we decided to come to this restaurant because, after a not-so-good experience at another restaurant the day before, we chose to trust Google reviews. And honestly, it was a good decision. I ordered the black bass. The flavor is very good, with that citrus touch, olive oil, cherry tomatoes, and potatoes. The portion size was appropriate for the price. The pasta my wife ordered was also good, although it seemed just fair for the price. The flavor was fine, but not much better than in other places. As for the service, it was quite pleasant. Friendly and to the point, without being overbearing or inattentive. The prices are consistent with the type of service and food offered. On the other hand, the space, although picturesque and rustic, could improve in terms of décor and lighting. Maybe it looks better at night, at least inside; we didn't have a chance to see the patio. In summary, this restaurant offers a reliable and enjoyable dining experience with solid flavors, fair pricing, and attentive service. While there is room for improvement in ambiance, it remains a worthwhile option that we would gladly revisit in the future.”

“Okay, it is not like Locale needs another 5 star flex, but it deserves 5 cuz there is not an option for 6. The place is beautiful. The setting is very comfortable, chill if you will. With indoor and outdoor seating, you can enjoy the visual feast of your choice. They title themselves a Neighborhood Italian Restaurant. It is this subtle understatement that makes it so special. If you did not know, you would think you were enjoying a cafe in Italy. The servers are wonderful and very attentive. Homemade pasta and sauce. The best meatballs, ever! The cheese used is curated by the best fromagers. Bread is a staple, and they deliver. The olive oil is real. The drink selections are plentiful and include N/A options. It only makes sense that enjoying a meal here is special. Come early for a meal, or be prepared for a wait, as you might expect, Locale is popular.”

“Wonderful dinner in Tucson. My husband is Italian and actually like this place so that says something. We really love the atmosphere and the outdoor area but it was a little chilly so we ate inside. Portions were huge huge and definitely could’ve shared one plate. Was cool that Tuesday nights are buy one get 1/2 off pasta.”

“Really good food from a scratch kitchen. They can easily work with food allergy issues. In addition to the good food and service, the building is beautiful!!! I also consider it a good value. One entre can feed two. My only issue is that you cannot make a reservation for parties fewer than 8. We were celebrating a special event. We were seated in the worst section. It really killed the celebratory vibe. With much of the restaurant being so picturesque, it was a huge let down. They would have moved us, if we could wait 30 minutes. They were only seating in certain sections.”
