Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Locale has returned with a fresh look and delightful offerings. "Simply outstanding experience" is echoed by many, highlighting "fantastic food and service." While pizza options are now limited, the new menu impresses with standout dishes like braised duck ragu. Some miss the old menu favorites, but the ambiance remains welcoming.

    The hostesses/greeters found room for us at 6:00 when we had a reservation at 8:00. Great food and better service!

    Pizza wasn’t great. Tasted like it was already made and they had it sitting around and then decided to serve it to us

    Excellent food. They’ve upped their game after their renovation in May. Every single dish was excellent.

    Great food and wine. The one problem I had was that the online menu was different in a few key respects from the menu we had. In particular, the in-person menu had only one meat item, and it was almost $30 more expensive than what was listed online.
