Server was great and food was great. Set a reservation and had another couple enter after us and seated first. No where to wait for seating. Just stood there. Very dark lighting for dining. Felt rushed. Probably won’t return. Other spots with comparable food locally that we enjoy ambiance more.

Great restaurant overall. I would have given it 5 stars but think it is a little over priced for a restaurant in Aurora. If there was an option for 4.5 stars, I would have done that. Service was great and food was really tasty too. I would go back, but for a special occasion instead of just a reason to go out for dinner. I booked through open table app and said it was for a birthday. They brought over a complimentary dessert with a candle. That was a nice touch and so appreciated. The ambiance was great too. Really good music and decor. Made the dinner overall a great experience.

Perfect restaurant. Classy, cozy atmosphere, friendly, attentive service and knowledgeable staff. Food arrived quickly and good price for quality food. I came with two other people for a birthday celebration and we enjoyed our time here from start to finish. The food was delicious; perfectly cooked seafood. The fried calamari was so tender, juicy and flavourful. The mussels in the seafood spaghetti were cooked to perfection. Every dish was great but highly recommend frittura, paccheri fungi, spaghetti frutti di mare and the burrata appetizer. I’ll be visiting this restaurant often.

I HAVE eaten many kinds of pizza in my life from all over the world. I’ve eaten Detroit style Neapolitan style, New York style Chicago style. I’ve eaten some of the best pizza in the world. I think Locali has set a new bar in style of pizzas. When you first set your eyes on it. It looks like just another Neopolitanish pizza but when you take that first bite into it you realize it’s far more. It’s light airy delicate crust almost melts in your mouth. It’s soft but crispy and tender Just the right amount of chew and crisp. I think you could call it a new style of pizza. Its like no other pizza that you’ve ever had. The topping are incredibly well balanced and not over powering. I do believe that the crust is the star of the show. Most of the time it’s both the toppings and crust but in this case. The crust enhances the toppings. It’s probably one of the best pizzas that I’ve ever had in my life. I wish I could get the recipe I LOVE THAT PIZZA.

Our appetizers were delicious and main courses beautifully presented and delicious as well. The live music, which created a lovely ambiance, was a bonus.

My husband and I enjoyed our date night. It was our first time there together. I have been there before with my girlfriend for ladies night a few times. We enjoyed our experience together. The food was good and the portions were good. The muscles were fresh and flavourful. The grilled calamari was also tasty. For my main, I had the short rib which was fall off the bone delicious. My husband had the seafood pasta. They do not make any substitutions or alterations to their menu, which is unfortunate. They only serve long pasta and you can’t change your sauce so this was a challenge since we don’t eat red sauce. If you have a 5 pm reservation, please note they open doors and exactly 5 and then you wait. I didn’t like that. We enjoyed live music.

Usually one of my favourite restaurants, but something was off on this visit. Very loud inside (Family Day, more kids than usual, to be expected) and service times were strange. Appetizers came out about as soon as the order left our mouths, but our mains took a very long time. Generally very happy with the value + service here, but this visit left something to be desired. Prices continue rising for the same old dishes and portion sizes shrinking... A little disappointed.
