Visited Locanta for some dinner. It was quite early so we were the only customers. We were welcomed by a friendly staff member and got seated. The menu offers a good variety of Italian dishes. The Caprese salad was beautiful with fresh tomatoes and good mozzarella. Tried the paté as well which was lovely. The calamari were tasty as well. For mains went for the beef stroganoff which in my opinion lacked a bit of flavour, needed some salt as well. Other main was sizzling steak with peppercorn sauce, the steak was cooked beautifully. For sides had some garlic bread and another caprese salad. Everything arrived quickly, apart from the garlic bread which might've been forgotten but the staff quickly got it ordered and it arrived a few minutes later.
Overall very nice experience with simple comfort food, but very tasty.

The building is absolutely beautiful from outside and inside. A very spacious café with plenty of seating area surrounded by the beautiful marble interior of the old bank building. The menu offers brunch style food, including soup, sandwiches, quiche and others. There is a good variety of cakes and treats as well. There are plenty of drink options and coffee and teas. The staff are friendly. Overall good experience for a quick lunch and coffee.
