Locanda Locatelli

The place was very welcoming already from when you get into the restaurant. The waiters take good care of the customers and the service is top quality. The food is outstanding. I ate a Risotto with Rabbit Ragu and it was outstanding. I recommend to go and eat at this restaurant if you want the finest Italian food.

We stumbled upon this restaurant when staying at the Hyatt Regency hotel, and I have to say the food quality was quite amazing. This is a solid Italian restaurant with very refined cuisine. The service was also excellent. The best item we ate here is the octopus, and the pasta dish was equally amazing.

There are good reasons that this amazing restaurant only got 4 stars from me, particularly when the food was so amazing and it has a Michelin star and we were really excited to go there having seen Georgio Locatelli on tele. First… it an only be judged against other Michelin Star places, and the food and wine certainly held its own, but didn’t astonish. We’ve had better and worse. Second, and most upsetting was the service. Let me be clear, the lady that looked after us was superb. Professional, invisible while we ate but miraculously present the moment you needed her. I wish I had made a note of her name… I often do. My issue come from two things that simply should not happen at a Michelin star place 1. The boss told one of the waitresses off on the main restaurant floor - right in front of us. She may well have committed a dreadful crime but as a paying guest I did not need to see the discussion. 2. We were a table for two, seated at a table for six/eight made up of three small tables. The table had to be taken out for my wife to sit down. Then… incredibly… another guest was seated right next to us. Honestly… right next to us. I liked the food, but at almost £200 per head (and only one of us drinking) I think they let themselves down. Four stars reflect lovely food and a nice lady that looked after us.

A delightful experience to eat at LL : the food was an excellent mix of flavours, intelligently combined to elate the palat! The portions sufficient to feed a human, not like the tridimensional microscopic servings you get in certain "stellar" restaurants! The staff are all extremely professional, yet friendly enough to make you feel at home! Really worth the price (to be a Michelin star not even too high after all)! We'll be back!

This was my second time visiting and it was absolutely exquisite. The staff were lovely and very accommodating of my pregnancy, the food was excellent, the service was perfectly paced ( 3 courses over 2.5 hours) and the atmosphere was lovely for an intimate dinner for 5. It was also a celebratory dinner, and the team provided some additional after dinner treats on a platter which was a lovely touch. Would highly recommend.

I had a good experience at Locanda Locatelli. Their menu had a good variety of different options to eat, and their staff was also really nice! I especially recommend trying the fresh burrata cheese as it was really good and creamy. Overall, I had a good experience here and recommend it for someone who wants a Italian restaurant with a variety of different A-la carte options.

We dropped in for a quick lunch and weren't quite ready for the experience we enjoyed. First of all the staff was extremely helpful and patient while we made our choices. My wife had the Melanzana affumicata which is an oven-baked aubergine (eggplant) with soya milk ricotta, toasted hazelnuts, basil pesto, and red pepper puree. I enjoyed the Ravioli di coda alla vaccinara which was simply homemade oxtail ravioli. I also must mention the three types of wonderful breads and the excellent olive oil which accompanied our selections. The wine was amazing and the selection was over the top. The presentation of everything was ideal and very much picture-perfect. The ambiance was spot-on for an upscale restaurant, I'm sure we will return to Locanda Locatelli the next time we are in London. I can fully understand why there was a Michelin Star placard on the wall of this establishment. This was a great experience and I encourage you to drop by and enjoy this restaurant yourself.

Calm atmosphere and professional service with a variety of dishes to choose from. Everything was exceptionally good except from the steamed spinach which completely lacked seasoning. Our favourites were the lobster linguine, scallops for starter and the pistachio mousse with chocolate ice cream. The list of wines is also rich and good quality. Overall, the food was delicious and for a very decent price.
