Locanda Verde (New York City)

I’ve been wanting to come to try their pancakes for a while. I heard about these pancakes from @thecarboholic on Instagram. I was curious of them because they had lemon curd as a topping. Not many restaurants do that. These pancakes were solid. Whenever I see oatmeal on a menu, I have to try it. It was very decent. I like the crumble on top. It went really well with the oatmeal. The staff is very friendly. I didn’t have to wait to be seated. Very nice experience.

This place is fantastic! They serve some incredible Italian dishes, and the service is impeccable. The wine list is extensive and delicious as well. I highly recommend it! P.S. You absolutely must try the tiramisu!🤤

The fish was absolutely delicious; the sauce was perfectly seasoned. The tuna tartate was also excellent. The lamb I’m not a fan, but the bun was nice and soft.

The food and service were outstanding. The dining room was a little loud but will definitely go back. Great mix of sweet and savory dishes. Didn’t try the pasta, but it looked delicious.

What an amazing evening! I’ve had the pleasure of dining at this old New York gem a couple of times over the last few months, and Caiden at the bar has made it an extraordinary experience, even feel at home. I first came to Laconda with my family in 2012 for a birthday and had an amazing dinner. Now over 10 years later they still have some of the best Italian food, service, and drinks in the city. Caiden got me up to speed on the menu changes, and helped make this celebration unforgettable. Starting off with the champagne coutier and sheep’s milk ricotta— this combo will leave you dreaming about it for weeks to come. Other apps worth recommending are the exquisite (melt in your mouth) wagyu steak tartare and the perfectly balanced insalata Andrea. All of the mains are great, but Locanda prepares pasta like it’s Italy. Grandmas ravioli are delightful, although I wish it came with more sauce, and the lamb ragu papardelle is my favorite. Rich, delightful, creamy, I thought I was already full but devoured the whole plate. The prime NY Strip steak is fine but I’d recommend apps and pastas route to get the most out of the experience. I also must commend Caiden the bartender, we had the best espresso martinis of our lives with their home style creamy tiramisu for dessert. Thank you Locanda for holding what feels like golden age New York, with delicious food, amazing drinks, and undeniable service. Be back soon!
