Nicole Brisson, the former executive chef at Eataly at the Park MGM, departed her old job to open Locale Italian Kitchen, exploring the traditions of Italian cuisines with a meat-centric menu, with Andy Hooper, one of the partners in The Black Sheep. Red sauce Italian dishes mix with ingredients sourced from small American farms and others deliver straight from Italy.

The menu features house-made charcuterie, fresh pasta made daily along with specials ranging from those made with local produce to large-format dry-aged steak. A full bar and wine list is available, focusing on Italian and California wines and brown spirits.
