Why Travelers Love La locanda
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
We ordered a Margherita pizza and a tomato seafood pasta at this restaurant. The Margherita pizza was served very quickly and was extremely delicious. The portion was quite generous, and I think it’s suitable for one person to eat or for two people to share. The tomato seafood pasta took a bit longer to prepare, and the portion was approximately for one person. It contained shrimp, clams, mussels, and squid, and the pasta was very flavorful. To my personal taste, it was a bit salty, but it was still very delicious. The service was also excellent, with a particularly fast response speed. I highly recommend everyone to come and eat here. Was so delicious!! We got the fettuccine truffle pasta, pizza with sausage/mushrooms, sea bass, and pasta carbonara. Everything was a 10/10 and had the perfect balance of flavors/textures. The ambiance of the restaurant is lovely and it is well deserving of its many stellar reviews. Our waiter, Simone, was attentive and friendly, as well as extremely welcoming and patient as he helped us figure out what to order. Highly recommend!! I had an incredible dining experience at La Locanda del Tempio! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the food was absolutely delicious — authentic flavors, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. A special thank you to Sultan, my server, who truly elevated the evening. He was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and made excellent recommendations that I absolutely loved. His professionalism, kindness, and genuine care for the guest experience made all the difference. If you’re looking for amazing food paired with outstanding service, this is the place to go. I will definitely be coming back and requesting Sultan again!

Stumbled upon this restaurant while exploring Rome based on their reviews and ratings. The reviews and ratings are definitely accurate for this place. Service was great. We were immediately seated on a weekday at 9PM without any reservations. Our server Simone was very hospitable and took our order very quickly. Food wise, I had Zuppa Di Peace (seafood soup for short). I ask Simone for his recommendation and he advised I try it. It was absolutely excellent and did not disappoint. I would recommend this restaurant for anyone who's around the area - great food & great service all at a very affordable price.
