Every tiny supplement is charged separately, even though the base price is already absurd. The pasta bolognese was a joke -- dry, bland, and absolutely not worth the €23 they dare to ask for it. The wine was extremely basic, yet they charge €22 for a simple carafe. Service was unfriendly and uninterested. We clearly said we weren't satisfied, and they didn't even bother to ask why. The only thing that seems to matter here is putting something on a plate and cashing in. Never again.

But wait, things go sideways quickly and you learn that they only serve piadinas, in the US those are essentially paninis. Wait, what ?! BUT wait, yes, and please don't leave. Please, please don't leave. For you are in for a treat. These piadinas aren't made with just any ol' ingredients. Inferior ones they are not. While chef Luisa prepares dishes in the kitchen, her husband illuminates all you need to know and more about what you are about to experience. All of the meats and some of the cheeses and produce come from a special region in eastern Italy south of Venice. They used to have a restaurant there and know all of the farms well. You can select what you want for your piadina but why not leave that decision to them. That's what I did and it was excellent. Of course, they have a good selection of wines. They are artistes gourmands ! They also have beer and a grape juice for kids which is made from grapes of one of the wineries where they get their wine. They have a light cheese course afterward and then dessert followed by coffee. Bien sûr ! Nous sommes à France ! So see, this is why you needed to wait and read this review in its entirety. Now, you must go and learn all of this for yourself!

We found this place not far from Maison Carree, and were lucky to be sat right when they opened without a reservation because the place quickly filled up and other patrons were being turned away. We got a negroni and an aperol spritz to start; both were great. The antipasti course of olives had some spicy crackers that we loved and a small bowl of cured meats in olive oil that we had never tried before. Certain pieces were a bit too chewy for us. We got a burrata salad, which was spectacularly delicious (fresh tomatoes, greens, a nice dressing all on top of an interesting flatbread). We were just a bit disappointed that the burrata was served cold and that there wasn't any avocado (unless we misread the menu???). The prosciutto and mushroom pizza we got was near perfect--so damn fresh and good. Our daughter had a chicken breast with some fries and was happy. Dessert was a scoop of strawberry for the little one and tiramisu for us. The latter was wonderful. Service was mostly great, but started to fall apart as the place got busy. Still, we had a nice time at La Locanda and left happy.

We just had 2 pizzas, both with a charcoal based crust ( good for digestion, and true, no gimmick ) the first was a classic with super fresh anchovies, olives, tomatoes and mozzarella, the second with egg, ham, mushrooms, tomatoes and mozzarella.

We sprinkled olive oil with hot chilies and just "attacked" them, the battle was hard, but we were able to finish them, it helped we hadn't eaten in 12 hours ! Great taste, thin refined crust, all of it for $ 25. Loved it and recommended highly !!

Large outdoor dining on roof. 8-10 tables inside. Full bar. Traveling carnival across the street lent an incredibly exciting atmosphere. Cook staff only spoke French but our lovely waitress could communicate well in English. 8-10 different pizzas and we didn't look at other options. Four different wines in each category so we chose the local white. Very nice. We planned on sharing a pizza but waitress convinced us we needed two. In the end we each ate half and I had pizza for my petite dejener this morning. We seemed to be the only Americans there which I like and indicates it's not a tourist place. Pizza was thin in center, requiring knife and fork, but a nice, thick, perfectly cooked crust allowed finishing it off by hand. All in all, a tasty, fairly priced interlude. €66 for two 12", multiple ingredient pizzas, a full bottle of wine, a liter of San Pelegrín and one of those tiny French coffees that I'm developing a taste for. If I were to return to .st. Remy for a third time I'd be sure to stop here.
