Inevitably, there are always a few restaurants that you go to again and again that aren’t anything special, but then again, they just are.
My favorite no-nonsense restaurant that I tried for the first time this year is an old place on my block called La Locanda. Here, the Italian owner makes the fusilli and cavatelli each day. The single room is stark but the tantalizing smells and friendly neighborhood atmosphere compensate for it.
Besides homemade pastas, bread too is made in-house, calamari comes with a tasty spicy sauce, a plate of marinated mushrooms will last a week, and mozzarella en carozza is fried to a golden brown. Don’t miss asking for your pasta arrabiata, they do this spicy rendition here perfectly.
