Amazing food and service from this family owned restaurant that I walk past and noticed it was bustling with life yet cozy and relaxed. I would definitely recommend eating here. read more

Not sure how anyone could give this place less than 5 stars. Wood fired pizza was as good as anything I've had in Naples. Great service too, but I came here for the 5 stars on the pizza ;) read more

Loved the Mediterranean salad and truffle fries w/o cheese. We are fully plant-based and found the ingredients to be very fresh and yummy. Wish they would carry plant based cheese so we could have their pizzas. Please add it! We will be back to try it. I'd like to suggest Follow Your Heart or Chao cheese! Thanks! read more

Was looking for a pizza place in town that had wood fire pizza ovens with thicker crust. This place is awesome! The pizza was delicious, we had the mushroom pizza (New England) I think? And then we had the fried calamari and the crispy cauliflower, which was my favorite! It's not a huge restaurant though, it's smaller but they do have a patio as well. The service was friendly and quick. We will definitely come back again when we are in town! read more

We came at 5pm on Saturday. It was at least 50% empty but they didn't want to seat us without a reservation. Finally they agreed but the service was atrocious. Took forever to order. Could never find a server. We sat with an uncleared table for at least 30 minutes, trying to find someone to get us the check. Considering they didn't want us in the first place they had no urgency to get us out. To be clear, by the time we left it still wasn't full. Food was fine but not worth the service. Will never return. read more

Not just giving five stars because the place down the street was horrendous and we were starving! Haha The service was amazing, the environment was welcoming, the food was comforting and delicious and the drinks were perfect and ice cold (95° outside). Can't say enough about our waitress who made great suggestions!! We will definitely be frequenting this spot! read more

I put notes on each item I ordered for pickup and every one was ignored. My arugula pizza had a sprinkle of arugula. I ordered garlic oregano wings and they sent hot honey. $90.00 for 3 items and I gave a tip on the pickup order because I appreciate when a service is provided, next time please provide the one I pay for! read more

My brother and i come here every week for dinner. Everytime we come the staff is always polite and welcoming . The food is top notch and the atmosphere is so cozy. Great local spot and staple of the community . read more

We had such a perfect dinner at Locali this past weekend! Although the weather is obviously getting cold, we were still able to sit outside given their setup. They have a lot of heaters, so that the cold actually doesn't feel that bad! Especially with a glass of wine, you definitely won't feel it at all! The staff that we encountered here were definitely some of the nicest people! My husband and I arrived early to meet up with a friend for dinner, and they were super accommodating to let us wait for her. We were treated so well the entire time, the waiters are super sweet and attentive. Started out with some shishito peppers; I really love the seasoning that they put on them! I'm really surprised how delicious they can make just regular peppers. For our two other appetizers, we got the crispy brussels sprouts and the beet salad. Whatever they did to the Brussels sprouts, it's pretty magical! In terms of pizzas, the Snake Oil is a must! Sweet and spicy always work so well together on a pizza (just think hot honey)! It's such a great blend of ingredients: san marzano tomatoes, capicola, fior di latte, pecorino, garlic, sriracha, honey and scallions! I also got the Vegan Impossible Bolognese which was pretty legit. If you didn't tell me, I would never have known that this dish is vegan! read more

To start, this establishment has an ambiance that is unmatched in the town of New Canaan. Cozy with plenty of outdoor space, late fall is easily the time of year to visit. Seasonal drinks, warm staff and friendly appetizers, you cannot go wrong. If you have the fortune to have Noé as your bartender you are in for a treat. An excellent bartender with the ability to cater to all and any palettes. The wild new England pizza bring my taste buds into a Maine forest in late summer. All mushrooms are delivered weekly and come from a local grower. Don't you dare get me started on the chicken milanese. You will end up going home with multiple meals that will taste as good as the minute it was cooked. All in all, this is a place I would bring family, co workers, and a new love interest and mortal enemies on the verge of peace. Come one, come all. I will cherish this establishment as long as I am around. Regards. read more

Always super friendly and consistent. The pizza is very good. The chicken Milanese is really strong. So so so good. Love this place. Really friendly folks. read more

Honestly the best pizza I've ever had - rivals the top spots in NYC. Without question, way better than Dante's!

The New England pizza is the best here. Awesome wine selection. The place itself is very small but I have always had a great time here.

Love the food & atmosphere here! A friend and I decided to go for dinner one day and I am glad we called ahead for reservations, because they weren't allowing walk-ins at the time due to limited seating. Although we eventually got seated, we did have to stand around and wait for quite a bit because it didn't seem like they had enough people working. There were only two main people I saw who were hosting, serving, running food, as well as managing take out orders and phone calls. This was odd especially since it was a pretty busy night. But the outside dining area was nicely decorated and spaced. The place is definitely a little overpriced for some items, but overall the food was good. I got the Charred House Pizza which had nice caramelized onions on top, but it could've used more because the overall pizza was pretty plain. I was pleasantly surprised by the bolognese. It was pretty oily but it was a great portion, had lots of meat, and was flavorful! I'd definitely come here again for the pasta, and to try other menu items. read more

Small but lovely place the grilled artichokes appetizer is the bomb!!! Salsa are great haven't had the pizza yet but it looked great!

Delicious pizzas and salads! I go there almost every time I'm in New Caanan. Great service as well! Highly recommended.

Came here today and enjoyed the salad and lemon shrimp pappardelle with my hubby, 8 mos baby and MIL. Pizza crust for the old school was a little soft for our liking, but service was excellent. We decided to dine outside since the weather was beautiful. Apparently, so did the aggressive yellowjacket that kept hovering over our table and insisted on nibbling on the sausage. We ate quickly and left in order not to get stung. I read that these insects feed on meat to feed their young. read more

Went to Locali recently, and ordered the Fat Chicken Pizza . I added Mariana sauce ( no charge). Was surprised how Good this Pizza, with Chicken Sausage tasted.Others in my party ordered calimari and Chicken Milinase. Service was prompt. Asked for red pepper flakes and was immediately brought to me. A bit tight sitting inside( outside was full) but overall the best designer pizza I've ever eaten ! read more

Ordered gluten free pizza with pepperoni and burrata via Door Dash tonight. So grateful that the restaurant offers gluten free crust, since not all restaurants do. Not knocking off stars for the pizza being freezing cold, because I feel like with delivery that's kind of standard. Knocking off stars because the crust was very strange - the taste was good, but the texture was like a fluffy spongey cloud (not in a good way). The toppings and sauce made the crust soggy and wet, which when combined with the cold temperature made the pizza unpleasant to eat. Too bad the crust isn't crispy and thin, and hope that they change the crust for the future. Will have to go into the restaurant next time to try other entrees. read more

Ordered for pickup and the pizzas were so small and expensive for the size. Mostly crust and lacked cheese coverage. Sauce tasted good but just super overpriced. Very chewy and breast crust, which is 80% of the pizza. read more

I would not recommend this place. Overpriced pizza and horrific service. There is no adult in the room. Most unprofessional place in town. Stay away! read more

The food, ambiance, and service are wonderful. The interior feels like California, and the patio has lots of heaters, lights, and comfortable seating. I think their crispy cauliflower is the best I've ever had. The drink menu includes a long list of beautiful and well-crafted cocktails. Locali also offers gluten free pizza with a real crust. read more

Manager / owner was extremely inhospitable and rude. We were there for 3 hours waited too long to get order taken and then a main course came out 5 minutes after, prior to apps? So we sent it back and then waited an inordinate amount of time for our food. The food was not consistent with other times( brussel sprouts were cold, artichoke were soggy not crispy) We thought helpful to communicate with him but he wasn't interested. There was an extra item on our bill and he corrected it but had an attitude, when they charged us for something we never ordered. It was one of the worst dining experiences I have had. Have been many times in the past and definitely won't give them our business again. read more

The food here is great. It's a little pricey so if you're not prepared for that then don't come here. The staff is super friendly. They have a nice outdoor space. I actually only have been here once. I ordered four apps and shared them with the table. It was a lot of food but not a bad plate in the bunch! read more

Pizza dough is good, sauce is o.k. final product probably needs a little ove i.e. salt/pepper evoo... Pasta was o.k. nothing fantastic, and aside from some creatively inspired dish names we were not blown away. Service definitely could have been better...we will return and try it again maybe when weather is better. read more

Locali is our fav dinner spot in town! The service is fantastic, the outside deck is fab to sit and enjoy a meal. The pizza and the starters are great and they're so accommodating. Love this spot totally! read more

First time visiting. Really loved the truffle pizza. Friendly staff. All of the dishes were superb. Meatballs were excellent. There were quite a few items available for vegetarians and vegans, and while I am neither, I do enjoy a dish that is good because its good and happens to be vegan or vegetarian. Have plenty of friends who are strictly vegan who would be very happy here. Will happily return. read more

My favorite restaurant, i wish to come every dinner. Attentive staff and delicious food Love you Locali read more

Great staff & manager Zach. Can't find a much better pizza anywhere honestly. Chicken Milanese (I believe,) walked by me one that that looked incredible and was the size of a catchers mitt. read more

One of my favorite places to eat! I have already been a few times and I have not been disappointed. Cute little place in New Canaan with decent pricing. (Though with the quality of food I get, I don't mind paying a little more. And also, you're in New Canaan) I think my favorite part of the restaurant is that you can watch your pizza being made in front of your eyes. First visit, I had the pizza with heirloom tomatoes, fior di latte, provolone, and a basil pesto drizzle on top. The pizza was amazing and cheesy. The crust is light and bubbly. I don't know what it is about the air bubbles, but I love biting into it! Second visit had a new fall menu, which I really was excited for. With the chilly weather coming, it was a nice way to welcome the season with the fall flavors. We started off with the bruschetta with apples, humboldt fog, and chestnut brown butter. First time eating humboldt fog (I acutally had to google it....) and the trio of flavors just blended so well together. For an entree, my friend and I split two pizzas -- the Wild New England (wild mushroom, taleggio, fior di latte, and wild porcini oil) and the Sunny Side-Up Egg Pie (truffle aioli, cracked pepper, fontina, and chives). Both choices blew me out of this world. Both pies were perfectly seasoned and we couldn't stop eating! Hats off to the chefs. Can't wait for my next visit :) read more

Tonight I placed a take-out order for a pizza and a salad. When I got home, some distance away in New York, I discovered the pizza was not what I had ordered. I called the restaurant, asked for Zack, the manager, and told him about the error. Rather than either argue with me or promise me a discount or credit the next time , Zack immediately ordered up the pizza I had requested and had it delivered to my door within 25 minutes! No arguments just great customer service! Other restauranteurs should take that as an example. WELL DONE ZACK! read more

I enjoy your food a lot. I just ordered this and for $11 this a ridiculously small amount of soup. I understand your quality, but this is unacceptable. The rest of my food was very good as usual. read more

the pizza is amazing it is the best pizza I've ever had in a long time I would definitely buy again

I think I can say that this is probably the best pizza place in Connecticut. I was staying in Hartford for work, and after exploring the city, and being let down by the food options out here, decided to drive an hour away to Locali.This place was referred by a friend, and I'm glad he made the recommendation. The place can be a little tricky to find. I got lost and pulled over to give them a phone call. The nice hostess redirected me where to go and informed me they had parking in the back. The restaurant is quite small on the inside, but I noticed there was patio seating outside. I came during the freezing cold of winter, so I can understand why no one wants to sit outside. However, I heard during the summer, it gets quite packed. The customer service here is great. And the food is pretty darn good. Their shaved broccoli and brussel sprouts was a great starter.The burrata was so delicious! The meatballs, the garganelli bolognese... goodness, they were all yummy! They also have a great selection on pizza as well. Locali clam pizza is a must try. I would highly recommend everyone to come here and check this place out! TIP: be sure to bring good company read more

Great food! We have been enjoying Locali's food and has become our go to for pizza and salads.

Wonderful food, excellent service. A standout in New Canaan. The outside space is great in the summer and really increases their capacity. I'd recommend a reservation, but they always try to accommodate walk-ins. read more

Food wasn't bad, but service was quite overwhelming. They wouldn't leave us alone trying to take our plates that we weren't quite finished with yet. We came in early on a Friday night and said we just wanted some apps and drinks real quick. We were seated at the first seat right inside the door. We all got cocktails and then ordered the Charred Brussel Sprouts, Umami Meatballs, Blistered Shishito Peppers and the Crispy Crunchy Calamari. No complaints on any of the food, but we literally had to grab one servers hand as they were trying to take away a plate while telling another at least 4 times that no we weren't done yet. It got so intense it went from us being kind of mad about to us just laughing at the staff for being so anal about stealing the last of our food. All while doing this yet another staff member kept asking if we wanted to order more food and we declined multiple times. We weren't in there long and I understand getting a table that isn't ordering entrees out the door once 6pm on a Friday comes along but this was intense for no reason. I'll eat there again, but will be a little more stern right off the bat for them to just chill. read more

Best pizza in CT. Small space but the outdoor seating is perfect for any summer night. Started with a blood orange margarita which was refreshing. Got the meatball and broccoli appetizers. We could not stop talking about the meatballs for the next 3 days....they were that good (the polenta!!!!) snake oil pizza is a perfect combination of sweet and spicy, kale pizza is bursting with fresh flavors and the clam pizza is such a unique pizza option that never disappoints. read more
