Locanda Locatelli is one of the finest Michelin-starred Italian restaurants in London, owned by Giorgio Locatelli, noted as much for its conviviality as the quality of its food.

Born into a cooking dynasty in Corgeno on the shores of Lake Comabbio in Northern Italy, Giorgio Locatelli is considered by many to be one of the finest Italian chefs in the UK and the world. At Locanda Locatelli, Giorgio serves traditional Italian dishes, emphasising the quality and freshness of the produce as well as adding his own creative touch

“For us the sign of welcome is to feed people. At the heart of all cooking, whether you are rich or poor, is the spirit of conviviality, the pleasure that comes from sharing a meal with others. And there is no enjoyment of food without quality.”

    Vey elegant but at the same time familiar environment and staff. You could feel the passion and attachment to the origins of the Chef and his staff. It is always a pleasure to return.

    Excellent experience from start to finish. Staff were very accommodating to an allergy that I had whilst also providing the best service possible. Food was very fresh and highly recommended the Lobster pasta. Would highly recommend.

    We have been coming here for over 20 years and it has been a very important part of our life. The standard of food and service has always been been immaculate and the team (particularly manager Costanzo and sommelier Giorgio) should take immense credit. If this turns out to be the last time we dine here, we will be sad, but also glad to have enjoyed it for so long.

    Met with friends a pre-Christmas lunch . There was an amazing range of interesting dishes to choose from and all our questions were answered by the waiters. Delicious, relaxed and sophisticated!

    I had high expectations for this Michelin-starred restaurant, especially given the chef's fame from shows like MasterChef. However, my experience fell far short of the reputation. The seating was cramped, with tables so close together it felt like dining at an office desk. Every time I needed to make a phone call or go to the bathroom, I had to ask the staff for help to MOVE the table. When we asked about the reason of tables so close, the staff was defensive, stating no one had ever complained in 22/23 years. This arrangement raises safety concerns—how would guests exit in an emergency, as moving in or out of your seat (for example in tables numbers from 1 to 3 in the attached picture) required shifting tables? We were eventually moved, but the new table was still uncomfortably close to others. This would have been especially problematic for larger guests. After being moved, we noticed the adjacent table was still dirty, with a stained tablecloth that remained untouched for over 20 minutes. When the staff finally cleaned it, they laid down a new cloth while simultaneously SWEEPING THE FLOOR nearby, disturbing our meal. This was not only poorly timed but unprofessional. The food did not live up to Michelin-star standards. The flavours were muddled, and I could not distinguish ingredients like licorice and chestnuts. The dessert, a chocolate sphere with minimal ice cream, was particularly disappointing and far aways from the expected degustation as shown in their dessert webpage. Overall Experience The only aspect that reflected the Michelin rating was the price, not the food or service. The experience was uncomfortable, unremarkable, and certainly not worth the hype. There are far better options in London, offering better food, comfort, and privacy at more reasonable prices. I would not recommend this restaurant.
