With its rustic look, wooden tables & flickering candles, La Locanda may pass as a textbook trattoria, but it’s a local Italian that goes the extra mile – hitting all the right notes when it comes to comforting food & personal service. The kitchen hits the mark with belly pork cooked in fennel & garlic or king prawns with fresh orange & vodka, while generous pastas could include firm favourites such as lasagne bolognese & penne all’arrabbiata. Mains aim for generosity in the shape of, say, veal stuffed with asparagus & ham or whole sea bass cooked with white wine, cherry tomatoes, garlic, chilli & parsley, while spiced honey, fig & jam tart served with crème anglaise makes a terrific finale.
