Locale Neighborhood Italian Restaurant - Tucson, Arizona

Good food and great service! I was actually confused because I was seeing different deserts on google reviews. Not knowing there is a coffee shop connected to it. I was able to get something there and have them bring it to our table. I just asked our waiter and was very nice about it. He wasn't sure if he could do it but didn't tell me no. I asked the food runner about a plate he just served (table beside us) he told me what it was and that it was also his favorite. I ended up ordering the food and enjoyed it. Early january in arizona, so we enjoyed eating outside with our fur kid. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu!

Locale Neighborhood Italian is exactly the relaxing patio dining I’ve been looking for in Tucson! The date palms that dot the dining area and lounging space are gorgeous, with a high-end resort feel, but the menu keeps value a priority, with reasonably priced wine and mains and discounted specials on various nights of the week. It’s the perfect place for a romantic date night that keeps you on budget, and the outdoor fireplace and seating just past the main patio provide an excellent space for a private party, live entertainment, etc. Service was great throughout our meal, and the dishes were excellent — well prepared and nicely seasoned. Can’t wait to go back!

What a great first time experience here! My family and I enjoyed every moment from walking into the door that leads to the bakery/cafe area to being seated at our table for lunch. Our server Jo was so sweet, very knowledgeable about the menu as well as the how items are prepared. the atmosphere and a very inviting, airy, spacious with a simple yet elegant decor. We can’t wait to go back again!

There are quite a few Italian restaurants in town. After a long day of hiking at the Saguaro National Park, we are so glad we picked Locale. The venue is great with lots of indoor and outdoor sittings. Good ambiance while not overwhelmed by Italian-cliche decor.
Good size menu and also offer a decent Kid's menu which is always a delight for parents. The kids pizza is a good square size with food quality ingredients.
Although you do need to pay for the bread and olive oil ($4, or $7 for other spread and special butter), the focaccia tastes so good and fresh and warm.
Salad portion is large enough for 2/3 people to share.
Side brocolini is also a good size and taste great and not bitter.
We ordered their signature clam wine sauce spaghetti. It's on the lighter size while not too buttery or salty. Pasta is cooked to al dante and they give a lot of clams. I love how they provide an empty bowl automatically for the shells. Not every restaurant that serves shellfish would do that.

Great food, great service and the outdoor seating area is awesome. The entire atmosphere here is awesome. We came at 730pm on a Wednesday night it was completely packed and we were still seated right away with no reservation.

Definitely one of the biggest bang for the buck restaurants! Size portions were big in every single dish, which is so worth the money ! Pizza that we ordered were bigger in size, like 5”x 5” per piece, than we expected. Tastes were great as well! We enjoyed the wine, beer, appetizers, soup, pizza, seafood spaghetti, etc.
The atmosphere was great but it was a bit noisy as we had to shout in our conversations. Otherwise yes I would come back again!
