La Locanda To Go

Placed an order for delivery… ordering 7 items… around fifty dollar order. Called after an hour wait and was told food is on its way, should be there any minute; 20 minutes later the food arrived; everything that should have been hot was cold and two of the seven items were missing.
Called to see about getting the missing items delivered. I was told they were too busy and I should call back tomorrow. I said the order was put on a credit card and what do I tell the two people who didn’t get their dinner. I was put on hold for a few seconds, then told the cook/​manger (not sure what the girl said) was too busy to deal with it. I told the girl I wanted proof that my credit card charge was corrected and I would take my future business elsewhere. They really didn’t seem to care.
If they are too busy to correct their own mistakes and provide good customer service they won’t have to worry about being too busy.
I will certainly will be telling our friends to go elsewhere.

It was raining, I work nearby, so I decided to do a quick lunch pick from this restaurant. I had eaten at their main sit down restaurant once before, and the food there was average, not bad, and the ambiance was good.
The Locanda II Go is a different story. I have only tried their pizza by slice, it was below average in taste and quality. I wouldn’t buy pizza here again. It is almost as bad or worse than Anise Pizza in the shopping center near this restaurant. I would likely go here again, only for convenience, because it is quick in and out on my short lunch break and the location is very convenient, but I will go for something else on their extensive menu. Prices appear very reasonable. Service was good.
For pizza the best pizza places on West Chester Pike are in Broomall — Joe’s Pizza (Sproul), Drexel Hill Pizza, and Thunderbird.

I wish this place could its act together. We have ordered food that was never delivered, had the wrong made, they just can’t get it right. And, even worse us that it is NEVER their fault. Maybe the 14 year old answering the phone could get some customer service training. We won’t be going back.

This is the baby sister to the main restaurant a short distance away. As the name implies you go here for takeout. I’ve tried the hoagies and wraps here more than once. The portions, prices, and freshness are all fine. They make a decent sandwich but there is nothing that distinguishes it from a hundred other pizza/​hoagie shops in the area. I’ve never tried the pizza as there are many places closer to my home.

Got a pizza and a house salad to go. The salad was surpringly yummy and HUGE with a nice vinaigrette on the side, and the pizza was a really fresh-​tasting margherita. I’m a fan!

Good eats. Good for when you don’t have time to eat at the restaurant by the same name across the street.

I have had pizza here and eggplant parm. Both are excellent. No complaints.

Not really sure what happened here but the pizza was very plain and bland. I am a pizza snob and i definitely enjoy a nice pie… but this place… eww.
Just not good. It’s nice and thin which is a good start and it had a decent amount of cheese but the pizza we got was dry and tasteless… not really sure what to say other then drive up the road in either direction and try some other food.

Lots and lots of pizza and sub shops in and along the West Chester Turnpike. Its Philly after all.
La Locanda is definitely one of the better ones though in the West Chester area. Standard fare is solid enough (sandwiches, pizza, pasta, salads) and they make one of the better pizzas around West Chester area. They also feature just enough odds and ends on their pizza toppings and menu though to differentiate themselves a bit from the pack. You can eat at La Locanda II Go but it is not fancy. Best part about eating there is honestly the aroma that tend to waft in from the kitchen.
Only downside is that they tend to get really busy and their delivery time on a weekend night is often at least 30 minutes and generally is closer to 45 minutes-​1 hour. Generally it is easier just order take out on a Friday night instead.

I have only been for lunch and its very reasonable. They have a lunch special for $ 9 where you choose pasta and a salad or soup. The portions that you get for that are huge and I always end up with left overs. Its never busy at lunch, which is great because you can get in and out.
They have a toasty warm fire place inside that is great to sit next to if you are lucky.
They have great sandwich options if you are not in the mood for Italian food. They have this soup called Screppelles… it is mini crepes floating in chicken broth, but they sprinkle fresh grated Parmesan over it and its sooo tasty.
If you are trying to decide between this place and Giuseppe’s down the street, this place wins hands down for lunch!

La Locanda II Go is the take-​out/​delivery version of the La Locanda menu. The food is really good, and they have pretty fast delivery.
A couple of things: The grilled steak salad is a bunch of cheese steak meat on a salad. The Cobb Salad is a bunch of lunch meat on a salad. So it’s not what you’re expecting.
It’s also a bit pricey, but still very very yummy
