No complaints here! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.locanda.sg\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Locanda<\/a> is the latest to make a splash, and it\u2019s a quaint, cosy Italian trattoria brought to you by the folks behind Buona Terra, a familiar restaurant on <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/michelin-starred-restaurants-singapore\/\">Michelin-starred<\/a> lists.<\/p>\n<h2>Locanda review: Step into the embrace of comforting Italian food<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_299658\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-299658\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-299658 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/08\/locanda-singapore-review-restaurant-interior-900x643.png\" alt=\"locanda singapore review restaurant interior\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/08\/locanda-singapore-review-restaurant-interior-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/08\/locanda-singapore-review-restaurant-interior-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/08\/locanda-singapore-review-restaurant-interior.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-299658\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Locanda<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Snuggled in a calm corner of the vibrant <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/little-india-singapore-neighbourhood-guide\/\">Little India<\/a> neighbourhood, the restaurant offers a quiet respite from the colourful chaos outside, just like its name, which is taken from the Italian word for \u201cinn\u201d, suggests. The service and ambience are warm, the red brick-lined walls and wooden tables are charming, and the menu\u2019s Italian classics are a treat. In the spirit of true Italian hospitality, you\u2019ll feel right at home here.<\/p>\n<p>At the heart of Locanda is a deep love for pasta. From handmade ones to unique flavours, this much-adored dish takes the spotlight. It\u2019s perfect for bigger groups to sample a variety of carb-tastic dishes, complemented by fresh seasonal produce and creations that take inspiration from regions across Italy.<\/p>\n<h3>A convivial communal feast awaits<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_299660\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-299660\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-299660 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/08\/locanda-singapore-restaurant-review-veal-and-yellowfin-900x643.png\" alt=\"locanda singapore restaurant review veal and yellowfin\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/08\/locanda-singapore-restaurant-review-veal-and-yellowfin-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/08\/locanda-singapore-restaurant-review-veal-and-yellowfin-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/08\/locanda-singapore-restaurant-review-veal-and-yellowfin.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-299660\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Locanda<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Start with appetisers like salads and cold cuts, or opt for the bruscaccia ($18) featuring the restaurant\u2019s signature onion focaccia topped with all things sweet, salty, crunchy and smoky. Truffle enthusiasts can go for the one with lardo, toasted hazelnuts, truffle-infused honey, black truffle slices, and Casera cheese &#8211; it\u2019s quite a mouthful. For something a little lighter, try the smoked Artigiana scamorza, black pepper and grilled zucchini variation.<\/p>\n<p>If you can\u2019t resist charcuterie, order the gnocco fritto with cold cuts ($15 per 50g) to enjoy prosciutto and salami paired with crisp, lard-infused, bite-sized Italian bread that you can easily pop into your mouth. The veal eye round ($24) is also a great meaty option, consisting of tender veal slices alongside creamy tonnato tuna sauce and caper berries.<\/p>\n<p>Continue the nibbling with dishes like stewed beef tripe ($19), charcoal grilled squid ($28), and deep-fried marinated sardine ($22).<\/p>\n<h3>Pasta point of no return<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_299657\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-299657\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-299657 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/08\/locanda-singapore-review-beef-pappardelle-900x643.png\" alt=\"locanda singapore review beef pappardelle\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/08\/locanda-singapore-review-beef-pappardelle-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/08\/locanda-singapore-review-beef-pappardelle-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/08\/locanda-singapore-review-beef-pappardelle.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-299657\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Locanda<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>You know a joint is impressive when you\u2019re already making plans to return <em>while<\/em> you\u2019re dining in the restaurant. And you might just reach for seconds once the pasta dishes send you to noodle nirvana.<\/p>\n<p>For something familiar in flavour, it\u2019s a no-brainer to order the pappardelle ragu genovese with mixed mushrooms ($24). We\u2019re just imagining lively nonnas in the kitchen whipping up the combination of slow-braised beef, sauteed mushrooms, and fresh pappardelle. That\u2019s comfort food done perfectly.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_299661\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-299661\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-299661 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/08\/locanda-singapore-restaurant-review-pasta-dishes-900x643.png\" alt=\"locanda singapore restaurant review pasta dishes\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/08\/locanda-singapore-restaurant-review-pasta-dishes-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/08\/locanda-singapore-restaurant-review-pasta-dishes-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/08\/locanda-singapore-restaurant-review-pasta-dishes.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-299661\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Locanda<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Another twirl-worthy treat we loved? The tagliolini with tomato sauce, lemon zest, and sprinklings of crab meat. It\u2019s simple and fresh &#8211; a clean contrast to the malloreddus with red wine octopus ragu and capers ($28). This chewy pasta is accompanied by fork-tender Spanish octopus tentacles for a delightful seafood dish.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_299659\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-299659\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-299659 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/08\/locanda-singapore-review-restaurant-seafood-spaghetti-900x643.png\" alt=\"locanda singapore review restaurant | seafood spaghetti\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/08\/locanda-singapore-review-restaurant-seafood-spaghetti-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/08\/locanda-singapore-review-restaurant-seafood-spaghetti-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/08\/locanda-singapore-review-restaurant-seafood-spaghetti.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-299659\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Locanda<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If you\u2019re in the mood to feast, the spaghetti ai frutti di mare ($118) feeds up to four with sauteed clams, lobster, scampi, and prawns. But those who prefer juicy meats can try the grilled secreto Iberico pork ($39) that\u2019s served with braised endives and apple sauce. The hanging tender ($42) with a refreshing rucola salad is another meaty main that\u2019s done just right for ample satisfaction. Pair it all with Italian wines, cocktails and mocktails, or finish strong with digestifs like limoncello and grappa.<\/p>\n<h3>Sweets and free-flow treats<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_299662\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-299662\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-299662 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/08\/locanda-singapore-restaurant-review-cannoli-dessert-900x643.png\" alt=\"locanda singapore restaurant review | cannoli dessert\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/08\/locanda-singapore-restaurant-review-cannoli-dessert-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/08\/locanda-singapore-restaurant-review-cannoli-dessert-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/08\/locanda-singapore-restaurant-review-cannoli-dessert.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-299662\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Locanda<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>To end, classic Italian desserts like the crowd-favourite tiramisu ($15) are made in-house. We loved the Sicilian cannolo ($15) for bites of crunchy pastry and a velvety smooth mix of ricotta, chocolate and candied citrus. Those into ice-cold treats can get the gelati ($9) in decadent flavours like hazelnut and pistachio. Or, try the peach or strawberry sorbetti ($9) for something lighter and more refreshing.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and did someone say brunch? Locanda\u2019s got it covered with the brunch menu at $78 per person (for a minimum of two adults). You\u2019ll enjoy a spread of appetisers, pasta, mains, and desserts. Throw in an unlimited prosecco ($68) or champagne ($98) package to sweeten the deal for the ultimate weekend indulgence.<\/p>\n<p><em>Make a reservation for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.locanda.sg\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Locanda<\/a>.
