About this restaurant

Locale Italian restaurant at London's County Hall is the first stop before or after a flight on the London Eye, a visit to the Aquarium or an aesthetic bliss-out at the South Bank. This bright, relaxed, family-friendly restaurant features Italian home-style cooking. The pale wood floors, tables and chairs, the light walls, and the open kitchen all create a casual ambience. Try a starter of Tuscan Salad with broad beans, faro, Rocket and Pecorino Cheese, pasta course of black tagiolini with crab, garlic, chilli and tomatoes, and dessert of affogato, as well as a selection of pizzas. Locale tempts you further with boutique wines and markedly good coffee.

Overral we had a good experience. The main meal portions were just borderline satisfactory, portions need to be slightly more. As the for taste & drinks it was good and the Godfather Part 2(cocktail) was pretty good. Starters Garlic bread was a bit bland & dry Watch out when booking online as Restaurant was not aware of our booking until the night before luckily the Manager Mark resolved the problem in time. Suggest booking this online & phoning restaurant to confirm.

Always looks very inviting from the outside and ambiance is buzzy, but the food probably doesn't wow as much as you'd hope. Still, decent enough Italian and plenty of options on the menu. Good for a buzzy meal and with so much on offer at the South Bank, a good option to fit around.

Food was good, service was good until it got busy. Then it took ages to get someones attention. My friend was impressed with her huge pizza. It seems like their panna cotta has shrunk in size! Tiramisu should not be missed! Happy hour cocktail is tasty, always good after a long days work.

Decent chain, serving pizza and fresh pasta and a short list of well priced fish and meat dishes. Food was pretty good, but we were up at one end of the restaurant so I spent half the evening craning my neck round trying to find staff (who had all clustered up the other end) to get a coffee/the bill. Sat with empty plates and glasses for a good 15 minutes before anyone could be bothered to come by: it was a fairly quiet evening so not really any excuse for it.

In my experience Waterloo has always been a bit of a culinary desert so was delighted to find Locale. The food was great and reasonably priced , and the service was friendly and efficient. We'll be going back.

Busy and buzzy restaurant, which can get noisy, but is convenient for South Bank locations, with pleasant food at fair prices.

Highly recommend. Food was delicious and well cooked. Was very busy due to location but the service was quick. If you need to eat around County Hall/Waterloo area think it is best place I've been.Will return.

Good value Italian restaurant. Service was very attentive and the menu offered a good variety of options, including gluten-free pasta. The food was good value for money.

Food is very nice, and the location in County Hall is great, albeit reflected in prices. Service was endearingly hopeless - our waitress was clearly new and appeared to be in training. Didn't affect our overall experience, more provided a source of entertainment than anything!
