Fantastic independent Italian restaurant that is a real gem. Great service and a really good menu. I have had several trips here over recent years and I would suggest its Birmingham’s finest

It is insanely incredible in this restaurant. From the atmosphere, the general vibe in here screams Italia and the food tastes just as close as being there. The staff are gentle and provided a nice, chill yet attentive service. We will definitely come back & I highly recommend visiting Pasta Di Piazza💚

Great food and great service, this place is better than Cucina Rustica round the corner IMHO. Upstairs dining room is better than downstairs and if you can get a window is well worthwhile. The steak and porcini sauce is amazing and chefs are *french kiss*. The service is exceptionally balanced in terms of attentiveness. Attracts all sorts of people and you can see why, something for everyone on the menu.

I discovered Pasta di Pizza today and was pleasantly surprised, especially by the calamari. It's rare to find calamari done properly in the UK, but this place nailed it. The dish was well-prepared, with a perfect texture, and I could finally enjoy calamari as it should be. I followed it up with a classic Americano pizza (Pepperoni), which was quite good overall: it was not the traditional Neapolitan style, but at least it wasn’t the thin, cracker-like version you sometimes find elsewhere. However, I was hoping for a more flavorful salami. I’ll definitely be back to try their linguine with seafood next time! The staff was impeccable, offering excellent service throughout the meal, though I was a bit surprised by the repeated offers of black pepper with each course. The atmosphere was beautiful—tastefully done without being overly eccentric or too focused on Italian clichés. I particularly loved the interior design, from the walls to the lighting, which added to the overall enjoyable dining experience.

Based on the website, we were expecting fresh, well prepared Italian food which is typical of the majority of Italian restaurants we’ve experienced. However, everything tasted like it was out of a jar or a packet. No real texture or depth of flavour, no seasoning and very much the sort of meal you’d expect from a pub in a two for one deal. The complimentary bread was the first real red flag. The breaded mushroom starter was greasy and completely lacked flavour, and the Octopus Linguine was again, without any discernible flavour or texture. The octopus was overdone, the linguine must have been from a packet and the sauce was definitely o it if a jar. Totally one dimensional. I’m not in the habit of leaving bad reviews but this is the first time in a very long time that I’ve been let down after a meal. There are many good restaurants in the area that offer food with real heart behind it. You can’t get away with this standard for long.

Food was below average. Stuffed mushrooms lacked flavour, quality or attention to detail. Veal Parmigiana looked unappetising, potatoes were dry. Almost like a hospital meal. Ravioli Granchio was ok.

Been to this restaurant numerous times before and always had a lovely meal so bought my girls with me as it was my birthday and it really let me down. The food itself wasnt too bad apart from a burnt garlic bread but the service was crap. Granted the restaurant was busy but we had to keep finding people to ask for things as nobody came to out table the whole time or asked how our food was. My friends drink order was forgotten and it was just overall not a great experience

I booked a table as part of my father's 70th birthday present and I'm so glad I did! He was delighted by the ambience of the restaurant, as my parents have recently visited Italy and it encouraged them both to share stories throughout the evening about their time there. The service was excellent from start to finish. Very attentive but not intrusive, extremely polite and helpful, and the food was delivered promptly, despite it being a busy Saturday evening. Thank you so much again for arranging the birthday surprise too, it was a beautiful touch! The food is very good and there's plenty of it, unfortunately I couldn't manage the rest of my mains but my husband was more than happy to help as it was too delicious to leave! It is literally a "gem" of a restaurant in the Jewellery Quarter and we will certainly be returning soon.

Restaurant looks cozy. We were there on a Wednesday evening and it was quiet. Ordered simple standard dishes: spaghetti bolognaise and risotto a la marinara. The risotto was tasty, the bolognaise was 'ordinary'. Something I make better at home. The waitress who served us didn't say a word, her male colleague was friendlier. Perhaps we should have ordered other dishes, but we cannot rate these dishes higher than 3 stars. The Primitivo wine was tasty.

A great review to start-at-the-end: If you are in this area, free to and wanting to eat-out; be nice to yourself and whoever you are with and visit this restaurant. The chances of you being disappointed are very small. The food is good. The service is friendly, courteous, efficient, knowledgeable. The decor is quirky, engaging and interesting. The ambience is brilliant. Put all of these comments into a mixing bowl trying to get to an overal summing up statement and what comes out is one word: SPECTACULAR. The inside (downstairs is the place to book) is an eclectic mix of what many might call 'too much stuff' but in being exactly that a charming antiquity emerges. Is it an old restaurant bar in France, or Italy that has been open for many years and nothing has been thrown away? Has a person owned it for a hundred years and it's full of history? There are dozens of bottles of wine & champagne on shelving all around. Some are empty, some full, some covered in dust, others only just beginning to acquire that look. Some are for sale and others just for the collection. Locanta is precisely the dining experience that all restaurants should be today; it is more than enough to entice us out of the house, encourage us to spend hard-earned money on food that the majority of us (still) can't reproduce at home. Take your time, ask questions, savour the food, drink classic wines, enjoy a superb Limoncella, relax and go home happy and satisfied. We will most definitely make this our go-to restaurant when visiting the area. I suggest you do too. EDIT ONE MONTH LATER: Just visited again ... even better!!
