He was clearly very passionate about his craft so we couldn’t resist trying it out. It was phenomenal- one of the best cocktails we’ve ever had. Highly recommend the Smokey negroni inspired cocktail! Thank you John!

                                                            Me and my girlfriend enjoy locale often and every time we are impressed by the service, food and ambience. Last night we took my family with us and they enjoyed just as much as we do, maybe even more. Always consistent, with such a flavourful menu.

                                                            I recently had the pleasure of dining at LOCALE with and friend, and we were thoroughly impressed with the exceptional service from start to finish. From the warm welcome by the host to the attentive and knowledgeable server, the entire staff provided top-notch hospitality. The food was delicious, but the outstanding service truly made our evening special. I highly recommend LOCALE to friends and family - you won't be disappointed

                                                            My wife and I went here to celebrate her birthday. We've been here a few times already and have always had a great experience. Everything we ordered was fantastic and our server (Matt B) was attentive and made great recommendations. Every dish was a knockout - the arancini and beet salad were our starters and we had the pappardelle w/wild boar as the main. We will definitely continue to come back regularly. Love this place.

Understandably not the restaurants fault ! We love locale “ especially Aurora location! Shout out to Sue “ who made our evening great with her wonderfully fun and professional aura!!
