A Glimpse into the Italian Heart of Punta Cana

History and Ambiance

Since its opening, La Locanda has captivated both locals and tourists with its charming ambiance that combines elegance and comfort. Imagine enjoying a dish of fresh pasta under soft lighting that complements a decor carefully selected to transport you to a villa in Tuscany. You might even forget you are in the Caribbean! They also have a terrace that allows you to enjoy the Blue Mall fountain.

The Menu: A Walk Through Italy

The menu at La Locanda is a work of art. With a variety of dishes ranging from classics to contemporary creations and, as the magic is in the details, try their olive oil with Parmesan on bread. Each bite is designed to delight. If you're like me and love burrata, any dish topped with burrata will be a treat. Here are some stars from the menu:

Beef Carpaccio: this is one of my favorite starters, with olive oil, arugula, Parmesan, and meat that melts in your mouth.
Truffle Risotto: creamy and perfectly cooked, a must for food lovers.
Flat Meat Risotto: creamy with perfectly cooked meat.
Pesto and Burrata Risotto: this dish combines two of my loves, a good pesto topped with rich burrata.
Neapolitan Pizza: made in a wood-fired oven, with that smoky touch we all adore.
Focaccia with Arugula and Tomatoes: the simplicity of its ingredients is what makes it wonderful.
Homemade Tiramisu: the perfect finale to any meal, simply irresistible.

As you can see, I love Italian food, especially when it's masterfully made. So, I leave you these dishes as a taste of what you can find.

An Impressive Cellar

The wine selection at La Locanda is worthy of praise. With labels selected from the best wine regions of Italy, you'll find the perfect pairing for each dish. Cheers!

First-Class Service

What really sets La Locanda apart is its warm and professional service. Here, every customer is treated like a friend returning home. I visited the restaurant with my daughter, and I must say that not all restaurants consider your child as another diner; the waitress who attended us asked if my little girl was okay, if she needed anything, and when I asked for separate plastic cutlery, she immediately found some. Also, if you're not sure which dish to choose, try asking for a recommendation.
