Reviews for Locale Italian Kitchen in Las Vegas, NV

So the eatery has been open for a little bit now. I was in over a year ago, and the food and service was terrible. But we are... not going to discuss that visit here, as every place can have a bad day. So I have to say my expectations are a bit high beingfrom the east coast and growing up around Itilian food my whole life, bot homemade and eateries. The host staff was quick andresponsive to our arrival on 9/2/2022 visit. The place is nice inside, a bit dark at 730 pm for reading a menu though. So ourserver, well 13 minutes later showed up to greet us. She was too busy doing side work to be attentive to a new table. It tookthe host staff to remind her. Let me add the 3 other servers saw us and did not even attempt to jump in and help. When shefinally came over I addressed the fact that my experience last time was "terrible". Let me say that was the last time it wasbrought up. She came back once to check on us, once to drop the check off and to return the credit card receipt. Some small talkin the beginning, but not once did she bring up, was it better than last time, hope it was better. Did not even think of lettinga manager know that I had a bad experience last time, and in hopes that maybe fixing whatever was the problem to keep mybusiness. Okay, off the soap box of the service and onto the food. I ordered the chicken parm. I asked if the sauce and pastawas made fresh onside. The server said the sauce and the bread crumbs were. Okay, so I was already waiting for this "great"sauce and breadcrumbs. I asked for extra sauce, well the extra sauce was still, the amount was what you would give a small child so they do not get it all over themselves. The chicken itself was okay, the breadcrumbs were a bit over cooked or to heavilylayered (not typical for an Italian dish) The pasta tasted like it came off a Sysco truck. As for the sauce, as there was not awhole lot, I won't comment on it. What I will say, is when the food runner came out, he said Chicken Parm, Read more

Definitely not worth the price for the portion sizes. I ordered the pepperoni pizza $17 and it's just a bit bigger than a... personal sizes pizza. I also ordered the spaghetti and meatballs $19. The spaghetti was a dry, the meat ball were decent. Goodtake away, my son is home from college and can take credit of the leftover. For the options in those area and the prices I hadhigh expectations that fail short. Read more

We ordered the restaurant week menu with the Tomahawk Rib Eye there was a supplemental $60 for it still a great value. The... garlic cheese bread and the burrata caprese was a huge portion and tasty. However, we did ask the steak temp at medium rare asa steak that size should be ordered. The presentation was great except the steak came out slices for us which is fine but thekitchen grilled each slice again. Which was disappointing, I think they didn’t allow the steak rest after they took it off thebroiler/grill and then proceed to cut it. The thought it might be too rare and cooked it. I would’ve preferred the kitchen toserve it to us under cooked than to recook/grill the sliced pieces. The steak came out medium at best and well done on mostpieces. We let the server know and told him to not worry, thinking since it was close to closing I’m sure the kitchen waswanting to close up. The manager came by right away and apologized we told him don’t worry, we get it. He said he’ll takecare of something, we insisted him to not worry. He ended up up comping a round or cocktails so about $32 off the bill. Thoughwe were looking forward to the main course and being done right, everything else was great. Service from the server as well asthe manager was very appreciated. I just wish the kitchen didn’t recook the steak. Read more

This restaurant had a great feel to it. It was a cute and clean. The staff were all smiling and helpful. We enjoyed pre-dinner... adult beverages and cheesy garlic bread while we waited for our food. Definitely a good thing since it took quite a while beforeour entrees arrived. When they did, they were ok for the most part. I am happy we tried this restaurant but I am not sure wewill go back if we have time limit for dining. If we do, we will not order chicken or vegetables. They were not cooked to ourtaste. Thank you for sweet service though. ;-) Read more

I was blessed to have such a wonderful restaurant within a 5-minute walk from my house.The food was better than expected. It was... a pity that the quantity was small.I thought the price was high for the quantity.The friendliness of the employees is memorable.I would like to visit again and try other food. Read more

My first time here as a local. I felt a little underdressed because the restaurant has a classy feel once you walk in that I... didn't get from the outside. I was worried there might be a dress code but they sat me no problem and made me feel verywelcomed. My friend and I shared the charcuterie and it hit the spot with 3 types of meats, two cheeses, and four other uniqueflavorful toppers. I would come here just for that and a cocktail. For drink I enjoyed the old fashioned. For main I ate thebraised beef short rib, delicious but I was most fascinated by the sunchoke mash that the beef was surrounded by. Slightlysweet, very savory, and so good. My friend had the Chicken Parmigiano and a side of spaghetti. He said both were good. Read more

Excellent addition to the Vegas local dining landscape. Room is appropriately dressed and comfortable. Strip restaurant, not on... strip. Menu and wine list were well-rounded with something for all tastes. Food was toothsome and easy on the eyes. Ourservice left us in need of anything. Attentive and knowledgeable. If there are two critiques: - We felt the food item were alittle lacking on the proteins but plenty of component parts. Enough to take home - In addition the menu font and printing isreally hard to read (especially the wine list)...even if I had I brought a large light. Read more

See photos.. We were seriously disappointed. We paid $19 for a tiny undercooked pizza that tasted like a cheaper version of a... Luncables pizza. We were a little upset when we saw the size of the pizza box, so imagine our surprise when we opened it to findthat the pizza was a significant amount smaller than the box size. The crust was doughy and chewy, and the toppings werelacking. You can see in the photos that some of the pepperoni had a weird grey color. The spaghetti and meatballs were even moredisappointing. The meatballs tasted like medium rare, incredibly fatty, unseasoned hamburger. The best word to describe theconsistency is "gooey". The pasta sauce had a really sharp bitter taste to it. If we paid half of what we did, we would stillfeel ripped off. Read more
