Excellent. Butternut squash bruschetta- who would have thought it would be so packed with flavor. I could have eaten a couple plates of this dish. The pasta was filling and tasty. I even joked when ordering that I could handle extra ricotta and lo and behold I got two scoops of it! The waitress was outstanding. First time here and I would certainly go back.

Lovely service, great tasting food, overall - we will be back. My husband ordered the branzino and said it was super fresh and delicious. He was apprehensive at first about beans in that dish but was soon wondering how he could replicate that at home! We also had the rigatoni and the orecchiette. Both were cooked to al-dente perfection . The cocktails could have been stronger on the liquor. Portion sizes were just right - a refreshing change !

I typically review a restaurant’s menu ahead of time so I know exactly what I want to order, especially when I’m hungry. Before visiting, I checked the online menu, but upon arrival, I was surprised to find that the in-restaurant menu was both limited and completely different from what was posted online. The atmosphere was lovely, and the bathrooms were clean. Our waiter and server were both friendly and attentive, and the entire staff was very accommodating. However, there was a significant issue that impacted my overall experience: the table next to us was extremely loud. The group appeared to be intoxicated and was yelling and talking so loudly that other guests were turning to look. Unfortunately, the noise made it difficult for me to hear my partner speak. We had planned to order dessert, but the excessive noise made us decide to leave instead. I was disappointed that none of the staff intervened to address the disturbance, as it greatly affected the dining experience. On the positive side, the food itself was excellent. My steak was flavorful and prepared well, comparable to what I would make at home. While I didn’t personally enjoy the heavy peppercorn seasoning on my partner’s steak, he loved it, so it worked out for us. The kids’ pasta was a bit bland, but the beet salad was fresh and delicious. Overall, I would rate the experience 4 stars. I would return for the food, as long as the noise level is more controlled, or perhaps opt for takeout next time.

The food and experience is so good that we had to come again. Sean was our latest server. He provided excellent service. Mike was our server on two prior occasions and he gave us exactly what we wanted. We told him we wanted a burger, calamari and blackened chicken and he would always tell us the name of the menu option and or make a recommendation of something that we might like on the menu. Week(s) prior, My wife and I had a chance to sit down and have lunch inside this time and the experience was amazing. Asked our server, a young man named Chris, for recommendations and what's popular? I told him that I would like to have blackened chicken over pasta and a nice white sauce. He said there was no white sauce. He recommended a pasta dish with pesto and blackened chicken. That dish was amazing! We started with the calamari and that was amazing! First impression and experience was as follows since we did carryout: The calamari was the best tasting and the best part of our meal. Salad with ranch reminds me of Caesar salad, didn't like it. We called and asked about seating for our family of 5. 2 children, 2 adults and 1 baby in high chair. They said that they didnt have seating available for 5 people until 8pm. We ordered food by phone and when I arrived to pickup, I saw multiple tables that were vacant and we could have definitely sat at those tables, our family of 5 people. Asked if they could make blackened chicken with fettuccine Alfredo and or change the grilled salmon to blackened. They said yes to both. The blackened chicken was okay but the pasta was only good and moist at the bottom. The pasta on top was not really edible. Kids rigatoni was spicy. Outside seating is available and indoor seating looks very nice. Half booth half table with chairs. That's definitely enough space for a family of 4 and 1 high chair on the side of the table. Entrance and outside seating is on the side where the parking lot is located.

Overall delicious and a very nice restaurant. Inside is well done, but it was a little too dark at our table to read the menus - they did turn the lights up a little at some point. Solid cocktail options and well-curated beer/wine selection. Bread ($6) is good but would be better if they warmed it (first basket should maybe come to the table after someone orders an entree). Beets and goat cheese salad is one of the best we’ve ever had. A must-order. Mussels were nice and tender (but lukewarm) and the frites are excellent (especially after dipping them in the mustard sauce). Beef bourguignon was tasty, but sauce was too thin to stick to the pasta. Crème brûlée and cappuccino terrific. Our server was friendly and attentive and had a great attitude. Lots of options on the menu. We’ll go back soon.

Local Provisions feels like the kind of Italian restaurant you’d expect to find in a big city—everything we tried was absolutely delicious. From the fresh and crispy fried zucchini and calamari to the perfectly cooked pastas and flavorful burger, every dish was spot on. The menu strikes a great balance between comfort and sophistication, making it a place you’ll want to return to again and again. This is a true hidden gem for anyone craving high-quality Italian food in a welcoming setting.

Great spot for brunch. First time here and we were lucky enough to grab a cinnamon bun before they were sold out. We also tried the French omelette which was great and the egg sandwich. Though that latter sounded a little basic, it was an elevated egg sandwich Everything was really good but believe it or not my fav was the truffle fries, side dish to the humble but indispensable breakfast staple, the egg sandwich. Huge potato wedges that are packed with flavor. The round of bevs we grabbed were typical for the occasion, a mimosa and a Riviera spritz. They were delicious and strong too lol. Talk about having a little hair of the dog that bit you, woof, haha. Would definitely come back for brunch or to check out their dinner menu.
