    Pachheri Fungi and Funghi pizza!
    Sara D.

    My boyfriend and I LOVE this restaurant. The staff recognize us and welcome us back every time! The service is ALWAYS top notch! Attached is a photo of our food, look at the beautiful singe on the pizza! We usually sit downstairs, but last night we got to sit in a nice little secluded bar area upstairs! It was such a romantic ambience, and the decor was definitely our style!

    I came here with my family and we ordered a few dishes to share. Sopressata pizza: 9/10. It had a great spice to it, and the sauce was delicious. Made me think of my trip to Italy a few summers back. However, it was a bit too salty for me, and I love my salf. Regardless, the taste was good enough that I'd order this again. Verdure pizza: 7.5/10. We found that this one didn't have much of a taste to it but the texture was still good. We'd order it again. STEAK: 8/10. The steak was good, but it was just very expensive compared to everything else on the menu. Cavolo salad: 10/10. This was my favourite dish. The sauce was light and tasty, and I loved the amount of cheese we had in ours. Fries: 8/10. The garlic and herbs were in good combination but the fried were just a little too oily and salty. The staff was very kind, and attentive. They would fill our water many times throughout the evening. The waiter spent time answering all our questions about the food, and would even offer additional sauces to being for us. The food also came quick, less than 10 minutes. Overall, I would recommend this place, and would come again!

    great italian spot if you're not looking to trek downtown. the interior is simple and casual. food all around tasted wonderful and portions sizes are large. i'd recommend the spicy sausage burrata pizza - the tomato base was fresh and flavorful. dough was thin. service was okay. waiter got our appetizer wrong and the food took a while to come out. the price is on the higher end for what it is. i would say almost slightly overpriced in comparison to other italian restaurants. good thing the food tasted good. overall a recommended restaurant to try for girls night or date.

    Grilled calamari with steamed spinach. Delicious!!!

    Celebrated our 36th anniversary yesterday at Locale. We were greeted as soon as we arrived and shown to a nice table. Ambiance is very nice. It's always half price wine night on Wednesday's which is a bonus although the first 2 wines we wanted they were out of. Oh well we chose another from their extensive list. Our waiter was awesome and I'm sorry I didn't catch his name. When I told him of our celebration he brought us over 2 glasses of champagne. Nice touch! Food was delicious!!! Had grilled calamari to start and I opted for a vegan meal which I have never had and it was sooo good! My husband had a spicy sausage pasta which was the best I have ever tasted! The pizza that was ordered at the next table looked amazing. Next time as I will definitely go back.

    I came here to try the braised beef ribs, but it's apparently seasonal and only available during the winter season. I was pretty disappointed upon hearing that, as it was the reason for coming. I ended up with the Cornish hen instead and to my surprise.. It was super delicious. Every bite was flavourful and easy to take in. The chicken was sooooo juicy and tender. I don't think I have ever had chicken that juicy.. Perhaps I was just super hungry? No, it was actually really good. My wife had the seafood pasta and it was also really good. We also ordered garlic fries and we were completely drooling.. Lol In terms of furnishing and decor, this place got it spot on. It was really modern and classy. As the night went on, they dimmed the lights to set the mood. It was just an awesome night! I can't seem to make up my mind what to write first, so this review is all over the place! It was that good.. Even my server was awesome! He was absolutely fantastic that night, letting us know about the specials and checking up on us now and then. I'll be coming back soon.. And it'll be for the short ribs! Nomsssss..

    Overall, happy with my experience at Locale at keele and king. Walking in, it looks to me like an old house converted into a restaurant which I thought was pretty cool. Waitress was super professional in handling my nut and peanut allergy. I ordered the tagliatelle in a mushroom cream sauce which was pretty good. The GF ordered a fish dish which she cleaned her plate (I assume it was good). I would come again and try the pizza. Atmosphere: 4/5 Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5

    Great food and atmosphere. Nice ambiance. Priced a little high, but we enjoyed our date night and our dinner.

    GRILLED CALAMARI   -10/10  -Not overdone, not chewy -perfect seasoning
    Celia P.

    One of the best Italian restaurants in the GTA! Very well done food, employees are friendly and kind, and the aesthetic of the place is very heart warming. Apparently the restaurant house is over a hundred years old...that was an interesting fact of the day! Definitely added to the rustic feel of the interior. This place was very nice, the patio is super cute and spacious, and not too loud. The only complaint I have is that the service was not he best...I think they forgot our order, we waited around 40 mins for our food to come, so they gifted us with a free salad in the meantime. It was a nice gesture! If you want some good quality Italian food, Locale is a great spot for a chill atmosphere. Fancy and casual attire is accepted at this restaurant.

    Delicious burger but oh so messy
    Nate G.

    We've been meaning to come here for a long time now and finally did on Canada Day. What a great place! Lovely service, great atmosphere and the food was top notch. And I've never seen a menu that small be that hard to choose from. Everything on it sounds amazing I had such a hard time choosing. Will be back here again and soon, can't wait to try more of that awesome menu (and their specials sounded amazing). My burger was great but sooo messy I couldnt finish it, otherwise food was top notch.

Food wise it was a mix. The pizza and appetizer were good but sadly our pasta mains were really bad. I would recommend their pizzas as they have a stone pizza oven but the pasta was so sad. I got the Cacio Pepe which was their special that day... and there was basically no pepper, a bit of parm on top and the sauce was super watery. There's also suppose to be guanciale in it but I saw maybe 3 small pieces. I also added chicken to the dish which was cold chunks of chicken breast. I was so sad with my pasta . I don't think all the food is bad but avoid the pasta. They had great drinks. We got a orange rosemary Moscow mule which was delicious.

It is themed around Vespas and other two-wheeled scooters/motorbikes) and has two types of ovens for making pizza. They served great apps, pizzas, and drinks. Just keep away from the pasta. Not sure if this is just local tastes/traditions, but the pastas was all over the place, one was way overcooked, the other had terrible sauce, being underwhelming, missing cheese/cream/whatever the menu indicates and is overall poorly executed. We got extra protein and for the price was very disappointed to received cold cubed chicken instead of an entire chicken breast! All in all, great place for large groups, the decor is nice, but really stick to just the apps, pizzas, and drinks, nothing else. The pizza menu has two options for firing, the wood or limestone ovens, they are light and crispy and the pizzas with toppings are well topped. Pizza sizes are about 12". The drinks were a great blend of familiar and modern takes of the classics. Example, they have Moscow Mules, but also have it with orange and maple syrup. Staff was great, they came around often and the bill splitting was easy, no random extra charges for the group fee or a bill split fee. The range is about 50$ per person for a good time, it's about medium priced, nowadays. If we are in the area again, will stop by for pizza!

Rich, chocolatey with that perfect pistachio touch -- such a unique and indulgent combination and the perfect sweet ending to the meal. The food, the quality, and the chill atmosphere keep me coming back every single time. Service is always top tier. Definitely one of my favorite spots -- highly recommend!

And good thing I did.. What we ordered: 1. Mussels on special 5/5 The sauce was spicy but not too spicy and so flavourful. The mussels were cooked perfectly. And the yummy house made bread was a delicious vehicle to soak up that sauce 2. Romeo et Giulietta cocktail and Cherry Vermilion cocktail. Both delicious and perfectly balanced. 5/5 3. Branzino: 10/5 yes. That crispy skin was soo good. Perfectly seasoned and cooked and the puree and rice and kale accompanied it perfectly. Ok I need to know. How did you do that kale?! How?! I think butter was involved but that's all I got. The best tasting kale I've ever had. 4. Paccheri al Cinghaiale: 4.5/5 My brother ordered this. It was really good just not as good as mine. 5. The salted caramel dessert. 5/5 Make sure you take your spoon all the way to bottom to get all the good stuff. Delish. I'll see you again very soon Locale.

The pork was tender and flavorful, and it paired perfectly with the creamy hollandaise and poached eggs. The gochujang fried chicken brioche burger was another highlight.
