Discovered Locanta by chance after making an impromptu visit to jewellery quarter . Felt like an intimate family run place with some more intetesting choices on the menu . I went for the Lobster ravioli to which the lovely waiter / maitre d added some fresh prawns - it was absolutely delicious and my friend went for a lovely fritto misto . Would definitely go back if in the area again
The food here is some of the best I've ever had! Try the veggie sharer plate! Just amazing! Service fantastic too!
My partner and I stayed around the jewellery quarter. Just walked by decided to have a drink. Great service food lovely spent most of weekend eating here .we will be back.
The food was lovely and very reasonable would definitely go again

Great food and great service
Great food, authentic and fresh. Excellent, friendly service. Worth a visit.
After around 4 years, I came back here for some authentic Itallian food.
It was just as great as it was 4 years back, I will certainly be coming back again soon as there are a few more dishes I want to try.
We had a veg sharing platter, 2 side plates (2 starter type dishes), and 2 mains each.
Of course, we faltered once we'd got through all of that and half of our mains, and we ended up taking our remaining meal home with us.
The ambience was nice and relaxed, and the food was well presented and very tasty. My personal favourite was the baked funghi and chilli side dish I had. That was sublime, I could eat that as a main with some sourdough bread to dip in its sauce.
Overall, it's definitely worth a try. It's nice for friends meeting up, work dinners or couples just wanting a nice meal.
Thanks Locanta and see you again soon.
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.
Now then; what a find! This restaurant is a model for success. You feel the warm, friendly ambience on entry being welcomed by the enthusiastic proprietor endorsed by the locals with all covers taken quickly. The menu is not cheap albeit the costs are matched well to the restaurant's location and it bears some mouthwatering, tantalising dishes. I had an awesome steak & lobster dish slightly off piste! It's worth noting they offer themselves on the 1st Table app for a substantial saving. Quite simply, this is now my favourite Italian Restaurant in Brum & I'm looking forward to my next trip there already!
First time visiting for a special dinner with hubby. Food was fresh and delicious. Service was first class and you could tell they take pride in serving you well. We were even given a complimentary dessert. Felt really special, thank you. Chicken was halal so it was lovely to experience authentic Italian for us.
Came here on a Tuesday lunch. Service was very friendly. Portion sizes were very good. Would go here again for Italian food
Visited with friends for Xmas meal. Friendly and helpful staff. Having a good range of Mediterranean foods in the menu. It was busiest time of year that's why mind waiting for your meal.
This is a great Italian, the service was amazing. They customised our meals for us and it was delicious. I would definitely go back.
We loved Locanta in St Paul's Square. It's a beautiful & traditional restaurant. The food was delicious & the owner was so attentive. We will return.
amazing, comfortable atmosphere, lovely friendly, generous, welcoming staff that could not have done better, and the best meal I've had in months, a beautiful lasagna and angelic tiramisu. coming back with friends next week! thank you to the lovely bcu waiter :)
