I cannot stress this enough - Locale is awesome! The food was great, but the staff were even better! Ruth was our waitress and she absolutely MADE the experience! My husband told them it was my birthday, and Ruth went above and beyond to make it a special and unforgettable night! 

We were sat and immediately greeted by the incredible Ruth. She is the sweetest and best waitress I've had in London! We started the meal off with bruschetta and it was some of the freshest, most delicious bruschetta I've had! We also ordered a bottle of the Rose. Great wine! I had the pancetta and it was delicious. Super creamy and flavorful! The tiramisu was delicious and the salted caramel ice cream with mouthwatering! 

Highly, highly recommend! Thank you Ruth for the best night in London!

Amazing pizza! Generous size.
Pollo Madeira is excellent.
Great location of Southbank in County Park Hall just a small walk from the London Eye.

Arrived in London from the US, and stopped by Locale "on a whim" for lunch.  This restaurant is amazing!  Prices were about as expected, not excessive, but you DO get what you pay for!  The Linguine de Mare is absolutely awesome!!! Service and ambiance were impeccable and wine was great!

Here we are on our first day in London, tired from a flight from the USA that was delayed by 4 hours only to check into our hotel that lost power. We trudged up 5 flights of stairs to our room. No a/c, no water, can't charge our devices. So what are we to do? Look for food! Right around the corner from the hotel is Locale. Comfort food seemed like the correct choice and a correct choice it was!
The food was excellent, plentiful and reasonably priced. We shared a rocket salad and a pasta dish along with wine for my wife and an IPA for me. The pasta was perfect. Al dente with a rich tomato sauce and sausage. Enough to share for two with a good appetite.
The experience made all the better with our waiter/concierge/ comedian Flori!
What a wonderful way to begin our vacation!

Was looking to get some Italian for dinner and lucky our hotel was a block away from the Locale so we decided to check it out. We arrived around 8:30PM and we able to get a table. Our waiter Michael came over an he was great. Went over the meu and was able to break down any questions we had. 

We ordered drinks and of course a couple apps. We went with the Funghi Ripieni ( Stuffed Mushrooms) and the Calamari. They would out pretty quickly and the Mushrooms were great. Full of flavor for sure could have eaten a couple orders of these. The Calamari unfortunately was pretty underwhelming. I was just very plain and had no seasoning in the batter. The Sweet Chili Mayo didn't help much either. For sure would have been better with Marinara. 

There were a lot of entrees and pastas that looked good but when fresh pasta is on the menu I always have to go for it. I picked the Tagliatelle which is served with a Wild Boar Ragu. This dish was very good and very hardy. You could tell the pasta was fresh and this serving size was also very big. I wasn't even able to finish it. For sure would recommend getting it. Ashley got the  Tonarrelli Carbonara which might have been the best dish of the night. I was also a large serving so I got to try a lot of it. The Locale is for sure a great place to get some fresh Italian food and make sure to ask for Michael so you get amazing service too.

Fiori was a great waiter.  Great Pasta Carbonara!   Also the Gelato and coffee were really good as well.

Pizza I ordered was very nice.
12inch pizza with optional toppings on. 
Margarita is my fav. It was nice and very tasty. Plenty of wines options. Pasta available and also appetizers that's won't disappoint you. 
Service was nice and we got seated right away. Lady made sure we are happy with their food and everything was okay. She also helped me choose glass of wine! 
Ambience is okay/ clothes are causal. If you hungry and craving pizza, you should consider to visit this place in London;)
Tiramisu came last so I got a pic of that (at least) ;)
Not far from west plaza Westminster. Walkable distance within 5min. 
Sorry no pic or pizza. As I ate before I wrote this review lol

We were out and about in the hustle and bustle of tourist activity and sightseeing in London and just needed a break from all the people when we  just happened upon this gem.   It was wonderful to sit in their outside dining area where it was shaded and a little breeze for the summer day.  The service was spot on, the cocktails were delicious and the food fresh and tasty.  By the time we left, we had full tummies, rested feet and rejuvenated spirit to get back in the hustle and bustle and continue our tourist activities in London.

Despite a slow start as we waited ten minutes to be seated. The service was also slow at the beginning, then pronto everything fell into place. The pasta was cooked a dente and a very split ragout. The Margarita pizza was excellent. We were in and out molto rapido.

Came here with friends for a late lunch after the London Eye and boat tour. They have kids and gluten free menus. I ordered the carbonara and portions were huge. Super creamy and loved the bits of bacon. Excellent service and great food. Highly recommend!
