Dined Tues., April 26 from 545p-930p. The service, food, and atmosphere were all very nice/good. It was the first time for me and I would dine again. I love fresh warm bread, I think this had butter or oil on it and I did not care for that, just a personal preference (BUT that didn’t stop me from eating it LOL). Most guests would enjoy fresh baked, warm bread. The salad was fresh, crisp, cold!! Water glass was always full. Beef Tip Linguine, was very flavorful, pasta was cooked right, it had plenty of beef and the other ingredients mixed in, large portion, needed a to-go box. Chicken Piccata; taste was very good, portion could have been bigger, one more piece of chicken. It did come with a good size side of pasta. We are a little confused about the way the chicken was prepared and the menu description. Menu indicated, “sautéed Chicken”. Both us would take that to mean no breading, either no coating or a light flour dusting. Especially since the other description indicates “Sauteed breaded”. She tries to stick to a certain diet (health reasons) so the breading was not really what she expected. We were busy visiting and she didn’t bother to question the waiter about it. She tried to scrape some of the breading off. · VEAL MARSALA Veal medallions sautéed with mushrooms …. · CHICKEN PICCATA Sautéed chicken with capers … · CHICKEN PARMIGIANA Sautéed breaded chicken topped with….. · VEAL FLORENCE Sautéed veal in garlic and olive oil … I loved the high top booths and ceiling hangings, they are perfect if you are there to visit and enjoy your company. If you like to people watch and you are there to be seen or to see.…sit at a table or at the bar. Maybe we’ll see ya there for happy hour!!!! I hope there are good drink specials!!! Some reviews reference as to whether a restaurant is "Real Italian, Mexican, Chinese," or how “Authentic” Italian, Mexican, Chinese, may or may not be. Just a few comments about that and …. a little bit about myself before I get started. … what ever it’s worth. I am of one hundred percent Italian descent and the friend I dined with is as well. One parent and 3 grandparents were born and raised in Italy, one grandmother and my father were US born. I love to cook and eat ;-). I have traveled/eaten in several regions of Italy not just the family home and hometown. Each region, village, city and family makes similar dishes different from the next. My family cooks Italian dishes. They may be similar but they are not like any other families cooking or restaurant …. And they are MY favorite and that is what “authentic” Italian food is to my family and me. I do not dine at an Italian restaurant expecting to find food that is like my nonna’s or my mothers. Cooking and eating is very personal to each individual. I either like the food or don’t, for what it is. Referring to how authentic it is really is a completely different subject. Many restaurant ethnic foods are Americanized anyway.

Used to be regular customers until the second bad experience. Both experiences involve under cooked steak, poor service and non-existent, uninterested management. Ordered steak medium and well done, got them both rare. First time manager did not make an appearance, no real remedy other than waitress apologetic. Ok. Second time same thing, undercooked steak after waiting 40 minutes. I believe this was due to the waitress forgetting that she already served the salad, as she brought us another round 15 minutes after finishing the first round. I told the wife, it was going to be a long night. Finally got my steak after 40 minutes sans a proper steak knife. Half way through the steak, the meat began looking like raw meat. Perfect. Im done, steak is still mooing. Manager did make an appearance this time, but get this he just puts the bill on the table without a word and leaves to attend to his drink in his hand! No adjustment, no apology. I prefered the no show last time around! Wow, there are too many resturants with much better food, and better variety to be conducting business like this!! Wifes pasta was very mediocre, we left both our plates have full and paid full price.

8/16/16 Totally disappointed. Sat at bar for dinner. Bread serve by itself, no oil or butter. Heard the black waiter drop the F bomb 3 times in one sentence while waiting for his drinks. He stopped after I made eye contact. Lasagna made me feel sick, couldnt eat because felt reheated with minimal sauce added to help it go down. Manager on duty leered at me while I walk to my vehicle. Great place you got there! This place use to be pretty good, but now its super lame. Dont get me started with the bartender lady. They get two stars because the beer was 2.99. Never again.

Loccinos Italian Grill did a great job hosting our Christmas party for 30 people from work this past holiday season! The food was excellent and the waitstaff were very attentive. Loccinos isnt a chain restaurant and, as such, is much nicer than those types of establishments, particularly with regard to the quality of their food. They might be a little more pricey than other places in the area, but youll also have a nicer dining experience here than at those other places, particularly if youre looking for a nice, upscale place to take a date or celebrate an anniversary.

the food was good. We had issues with a Gift Card. We ordered the anniversary special which stated that no COUPONS or other DISCOUNTS could not be used. They would not let us use a $25 dift card. The manger on duty was also rude when discussing this issues. We explained our point of view and she kept interrupting. I wanted to slap her! I finally asked her loudly to Stop interrupting like I would to a child and finished my speech. Again, good food and the server was ok, but dealing with the manager left us with no desire to step foot in Loccinos again!

Visited twice, once for Valentines day and the other just because. Excellent aestheticsm, food and service. The beef tip appetizer is a great place to begin your meal. Similar to burnt ends you may find in a kc bbq joint but juicier and not as charred. I had a tilapia entree and it might have been the most delicious fish i ever had.it was lightly fried and appointed with mash potatoes and asparagus spears. The staff was pleasant, nor pushy but always available to refill at the right time or address my needs.

We almost didnt go here based on the reviews, but were glad we came anyway. Food was excellent! We ordered the filet bites appetizer and it was the best thing Ive tried in a long time. I had whitefish and hubby cobb salad. Both were excellent. The person who complained about the bread shouldve tried salting the oil if they thought it was bland. It was bread and it tasted like bread.

From the outside it looked promising, but soon after we were seated it was another story. The bread and oil was flavorless, the salad was a joke and for the price (more than olive garden), it was not worth it. Would never go again and wouldnt recommend either. Not to mention it took forever to get our bill, the hostess had to go find our waiter so we could leave. Pathetic!
