Locanda Locatelli

Outstanding restaurant!!! I went for my birthday and we had a great dinner. First they served you bread sticks with olive oil dip, then a basket of 3 different types of homemade bread. We ate starters, mains, pasta and dessert. We were full at the end and couldn’t move. I wasn’t expecting to be so filled up from a Michelin start restaurant as all of Michelin are very small (fine dining)portions. Locanda Locatelli got my heart. The portions were very good and fair price. We paid £300 for two people and it worthy. I forgot to mention that they have amazing wines and lots of options.

We've been before in fact it's an annual dinner for us but this year there was definitely a slip in standards particularly with the service - at 15%. At times it was slow and a couple of smaller orders forgotten. But the irritating thing was the attempted upselling. The most ridiculous was an attempt to sell us a wine that was twice the price than the one we ordered (and we're talking three figures.) Food had also lost its lustre. With a bill of £600 for three it needs a reboot.

A fantastic evening spent here enjoying fabulous authentic Italian food and drink. The service was incredible, the waiting staff were attentive and friendly. The dishes were served with a description from the waiters showing that they had knowledge but also pride of what they were presenting. The atmosphere was intimate, it was also great to see Georgia Locatelli himself eating with friends.

Everything was on top of the expectations.
From the first step into the restaurant we have been treated as the most important people they had so far, and I truly believe that is a normal practice for them.
All the servers where friendly and professional. I appreciate the knowledge they have about all the ingredients they use in their dishes.
Food was amazing.
We had a very good dinner.
Unlikely we didn't met Chef Locatelli, hopefully next time.
Very recommended, we'll come back for sure.

Food is very good, popular and not common classic Italian with very little twist to modern and creative but basically classic Italian. It is for sure an interesting menu if you are not used to Italian food. I was expecting more creative cuisine both from chef Locatelli and from a Michelin star restaurant. The location is beautiful, a little noisy, probably because the restaurant has a pretty high number of seating so it is hard to keep the noise low when it is full. The wine list is very good and there is a good amount of excellent but affordable options. Service was impeccable!
Glad that I was there, not sure if it is worth a second visit.

Head Chef Sergio Fonkana confirms that not only is the Halal meat stored separately, but that the section it is prepared in and the utensils used are always cleaned with soap before being sanitised. The food is cooked separately. And Chef Sergio assures that there’s no risk of cross-contamination.
