   Arrived for our Saturday 5:45 table which we had changed the day before from 2 to 3. Could not make that change on open Table so I called the restaurant who updated it immediately. The restaurant was very busy already and we were seated in a covered outside area with a heater that worked well. We ordered two cocktails and wine. They customer the espresso martini to add chocolate to it - a very nice touch. I had a Paper Airplane - well presented and tasty. The Italian wines we had by the glass were both delicious - one from Tuscany and the other Veneto. We had the Burrata/Prosciutto appetizer then 3 pasta dishes. The Strozzepreti and Lasagne were excellent. We finished with two excellent desserts - a chocolate one new on the menu and a tarte. Service was very attentive. We had couple of noisy tables near us - a birthday for 8 and 4 young women celebrate something that added to the noise which otherwise would have been much more subdued. We had a great time on this visit. I would recommend to others. The inside is very nice when you can get a table but is more bustling.

   Overall outstanding. The bar area was very noisy so we asked to sit elsewhere. The parking lot tent was fine with the heater on. Vito our waiter could not have been better. He made good recommendations and was attentive. The Autumn salad was large enough to share and delicious. The Caesar salad was normal size and good. Both salads did need extra dressing and when we asked, it was brought quickly. The Stozzapreti and Gnoochi al pesto were both excellent. We were too full for dessert. We definitely will be going back.

   Locanda Poitano Keeps raising prices for the same dishes. My favorite dish has gone from 17.95 to 26.95 in past months. 2023-2024. Where does it end? When doses this restaurant start to give value to its customers? Sitting outside in the rain recently was not a GREAT experience. Water was not being controlled around the edges of the entries into the restaurant.

   Place is only okay. Inside the house is warm and cozy, but outside under the tent is not what you want. The food is average at best. Bread is boring. Menu items are very limited. What we had was satisfactory, but nothing great. Caesar salad was a few pieces of lettuce, split cost of $16. Wine list also limited and lame. Dessert choices were actually good. Service was only okay. Overall the experience was disappointing and I wouldn’t bother going here.

   there were 5 persons for this lunch. The menu provides a ful variety of interesting Italian cuisine . The cocktail menu is also very eclectic and the served drinks are superb. The wine list has a great selection of wine .Our service was impeccable and our server Vito was congenial affable , knowledgeable, and attentive. Our food was made and served to order and was delicious. The desserts and coffees were very good and the prportions were just right after a full delicious meal.
