Locanda Locatelli in City of London, Westminster

I mean the food is ok...how it's got a michelin star ill never know

A good place for lunch or dinner. Service was attentive and helpful. Prices are high, but that's everywhere in London. Nice wines by the glass.

As newlyweds we were given the gift of a starred dinner by our beloved chef Locatelli in London, a truly surprising experience, first of all the welcome and the atmosphere that you breathe are truly priceless knowing that you are at a starry one. Dishes of excellent quality, but we never feel more than just part of the Locanda. MARIANNA was very kind and prepared to serve us and explain everything to us, and even let us have a little sweet surprise (you can find the photo below) for our fresh wedding. None of the dishes disappoint, in fact I was enchanted by so many preparations even with simple ingredients! Absolutely recommended, both for the meat and fish portions

In visita a Londra ho voluto provare il ristorante dello chef Locatelli sapendo di avere aspettative gonfiate forse un po’ dalla la fama dello chef ma fiducioso grazie alla stella Michelin. Il locale è all’interno dell’hotel Hyatt, elegante ma con i tavoli un po’ troppo vicini tra loro che non consentono la privacy. Il personale è gentile e cordiale e plus parla anche italiano, cosa che non ritenevo fosse scontata. Potrebbe essere uno dei tanti ristoranti all’interno di hotel internazionali presenti in tutte le città ma di certo non uno stellato da cui ci si aspetta molto ma molto di più. Al massimo potrebbe essere un ristorante con menzione sulla guida fino a quando arriva il conto e la stella ricompare in tutto il suo splendore. Mancano tutte quelle piccole attenzioni e “coccole” che si pretendono (e si pagano) a questi livelli, ad esempio amuse bouche, pre dessert e piccola pasticceria ( 3 dolcetti su un piattino fanno più tarallucci in trattoria che stellato ). I piatti, perdonate il gioco di parole, sono piatti. Non solo hanno quel plus in bocca che ci si aspetterebbe da una cucina stellata ma erano mononota e dopo qualche boccone risultavano noiosi. La burrata, zucca, nocciole e mostarda di frutta (forse il piatto migliore) è un assemblaggio ma almeno quel poco di mostarda quando arriva rompe un po’ la noia. Stessa cosa invece non si può dire delle melanzane, pomodoro, fonduta di Parmigiano e salsa di basilico che per carità non sono cattive, ma mancano proprio di sprint e gusto. Gli gnocchi di patate, ragu di lepre e liquirizia (il ragù è tipo un salmì) tende al dolce e con la liquirizia (anch’essa dolce) stanca. Manca qualcosa ad esempio di sapido che faccia venire voglia di prenderne un altro boccone. I cappellacci, burro & salvia, zucca e amaretti non sono male, ma niente di più. Ci si aspetterebbe però un contrasto dolce che non c’è (l’amaretto non si sente e servirebbe anche della mostarda) con il parmigiano ed il burro&salvia che dovrebbe essere nocciola anziché anemico ed insapore. Già molto delusi ho chiesto al cameriere come fosse la degustazione di formaggi (in uno stellato ci si aspetta non dico il carrello ma almeno un po’ di scelta) ma dalla descrizione sembrava il tagliere misto dell’aperitivo con formaggi normalissimi ed anche i dolci sembravano dalla descrizione fatta molto noiosi. Abbiamo evitato di buttare altre 60 euro circa. Decisamente sconsigliato.

Tutto ottimo, cibo, atmosfera e servizio. Abbiamo mangiato benissimo, serviti da persone competenti ed in un ambiente accogliente. Se volete mangiare tortelli in brodo, calamarata, gnocchi fatti in casa, pollo al limone o spaghetti all’astice andate da Locatelli, ne rimarrete pienamente soddisfatti. Prezzo giusto

Location elegante, qualità del cibo ottima, prezzo stellato ma il servizio non all’altezza. Bicchiere macchiato, non portano il poggia borsa, 1 ora di attesa per la prima porta e non c’è un benvenuto dello chef ne un pre dessert, impiattamento pasta assente. Pane senza glutine confezionato (mai successo in uno stellato). Attesa nel conto finale. Lo chef non si è presentato ai tavoli per un riscontro e si vede! Forse i clienti inglesi si accontentano così Per mantenere la Stella si deve stare nel range degli altri stellati sotto tutti gli aspetti.

Pranzo in famiglia; Location elegante e tranquilla, servizio cordiale e cortese, cucina semplice e di alto livello. Conto decisamente alto, ma d’altronde a Londra questo è. Esperienza consigliatissima!!!

That was probably the best metal we had during our holiday in LONDON. Such an oustanding service from the waiters. Every detail is taken care of. We would definetely return.

Of all the Michelin-starred restaurants I've tried abroad, perhaps one of the most overrated, the food is good, of course, but you enter with completely different expectations, so you're a little disappointed.

Great service great food a bit pricey but we'll worth it! Reservation is a good idea for dinner !

Disappointment started with breadsticks which tasted like 2 days old. The interior design is from early 2000s hotel lounge. The service is overwhelming as they constantly tried to push specials. We couldn’t have a conversation for 2 minutes without being interrupted, when we wanted to order wine, there was no one around. The fish wasn’t fresh. The menu is far beyond being authentic. Potatoes tasted like Tesco, how can you fail to have good potatoes? They sit on the Michelin star they got 20 years ago and didn’t change anything since. Avoid!!

Excellent tagliolini al tartufo Bianco, the tiramisu was lacking texture and flavour.

Just walked into this restaurant from an art exhibition with my boyfriend and we had a lovely dinner. The food was amazing, the wine was great and we were looked after by Sally, the nice lady who took her beautiful time to tell us about the new truffle on the menu and gave us details of the origin. We had really amazing time here and we will be coming back next time we are in the area. Please give Sally her flowers, she's amazing!

Beautiful Italian restaurant with great service

This was my first time attending Locanda Locatelli, having previously enjoyed a cocktail at the hotel's bar, the Churchill Bar. From start to finish, the experience was fantastic. For being a Michelin-star restaurant, it was not snobby or pretentious at all, just excellent 5 star customer service. Francesco and the rest of the team made myself and my friend feel very welcome and the ambience was perfect. It was quiet when we arrived at 6pm but absolutely packed when we left at 8pm. The bread basket was perfect and you get your own personal little oil bowl, which was just my favourite thing. The breadsticks are about a foot long with a nice cheesy flavour. My friend and I both got the rib eye steak which was cooked to perfection and the cocktails were delicious as well. Although, the service was mega fast, we didn't feel rushed and we barely noticed the staff, they were that discreet. 100% recommend this restaurant!

Good restaurant and nothing more.

I found this place on my way back home after work. Staff is friendly and prepared for this 5 Star Michelin restaurant, food is good (get your wallet ready because it's an expensive restaurant), but the room is dark and should be lit more.

Perfect birthday dinner. Marianna was amazing and very kind throughout the entire evening.

A beautiful evening to celebrate a birthday with the family. Congratulations to the kind Marianna for her kindness and professionalism. Advised!!

Very cozy, great service and lovely food. Fabolous beef tartar and perfectly cooked steak. Deserving Michelin Star. 9/10.

spectacular, delicious!! super romantic atmosphere!!!

Overall a great experience, the waiters are very knowledgeable and friendly, fabulous food and very generous portions

Food was really really good, and the waiters were very kind so overall a really enjoyable experience.

**a disappointment across the board** I waited several months before writing this review, precisely to avoid writing it dictated by the "fresh" disappointment of the moment. I wanted to be as objective as possible, given that Chef Locatelli is one of my favorite chefs and I have always admired and respected him. We had high expectations for this starred restaurant, but unfortunately the experience was a profound disappointment. Considering the fame and prestige that surrounds it, we would have expected much more, especially in terms of service and attention to detail. First of all, the service was well below the standards of an establishment of this level. The staff proved to be not very attentive and decidedly not up to par: the waiter literally took the menu out of our hands, and another even took my glass away without asking if I still wanted to drink, there was no one who bothered to refill glasses and several times we had to call the waiters to bring us water or wine, not to mention the long waits between the various courses. All this in a starred restaurant is unacceptable given that we have never received such disservice even in a restaurant. There was not that attention to the customer that is expected in a restaurant of this caliber, where every detail should be taken care of impeccably. Additionally, one of the biggest disappointments was the lack of compliance with the dress code. The restaurant's website clearly specifies an elegant dress code, but we were disconcerted to see guests dressed in a decidedly inappropriate way, some even wearing t-shirts, sneakers and hoodies (sitting right next to us, who were actually elegant). . It is unacceptable that a starred restaurant does not enforce its own rules, thus undermining the classy atmosphere that should characterize it. We had gone to celebrate a birthday and all this completely ruined the exclusive and refined atmosphere we were expecting. Furthermore, the bathroom was shared with a hotel, so to reach it you had to go through it. Inside one of the women's toilets I saw a baby diaper rolled up and thrown on the floor. Total lack of cleaning and checks of the bathrooms! The food was good, but nothing memorable, and certainly not up to expectations created by the restaurant's name and high prices. I assume that Chef Locatelli is not aware of what happens in his absence, and this is what prompted me to write this review. In conclusion, a disappointing experience from all points of view: terrible service, compromised atmosphere and cuisine that was unable to amaze. It is definitely not worth the price, nor the fame that surrounds it. I don't recommend it.

Lovely food but not all the courses were as good as expected. I found the pasta sauce very tasty but the pasta too al dente. My friends weren't impressed with the meat/ fish courses

The atmosphere and service were good. But the food was mediocre. Had a salad with mackerel beforehand. The mackerel didn't smell good. And the linguini with crab had too much oil. We won't come here anymore. Too bad because the atmosphere and service were good, but the kitchen was not.

One of the best dinner I have had: From the service that was spotless to the food ! Everything was absolutely perfect

An incredible evening and experience! I have a severe allergy and they were extremely accommodating, knowledgeable and helped me order something safe and delicious! The burrata was amazing (one of the best I’ve had), and my fish dish was seasoned and cooked perfectly. My partner loved the pasta. They even brought me fresh fruit for desert, as there were possible nuts in the baked goods. Exceptional service, quality and evening all around!

Best italian restaursnt in the world

Nothing to say about lobster linguine, but God forbid! They do it well even from the restaurant next door if we give them a good product. Cooked just al dente and good shellfish: in short, a good dish. But then, please!!! The artichoke, my favorite vegetable, tortured, barbaric and far from any culinary canon: but why on earth? How is it possible to serve in a STARRED restaurant an artichoke that is hard to the heart, stringy, covered and filled with a horrible mixture of bread, parsley and such a quantity of garlic that it would make a Piedmontese pale after eating bagna cauda. And the poor tender heart of the artichoke removed, perhaps, to mix it with the horrible mixture. Really presenting such a mess at the table is not even the worst neighborhood restaurant. Oops, neighborhood inn… I therefore leave only one star, also because less is not possible, because I hope that the Sous Chefs left alone at Easter were totally unaware of what it means to prepare an artichoke. I hope that in the presence of Chef Locatelli such a massacre could not only not be accepted, but certainly not even prepared.

Unfortunately well below our expectations, crowded place, good dishes but not adequate for the price and credentials, very friendly but not very well trained staff, abnormally priced wines.

Make your reservation now! Simply superb in every way!! The restaurant itself is beautifully, sophisticatedly, and comfortably designed. Soft but not too dark ambient lighting, nice music in the background, but we could hear each other easily. Sometimes a challenge these days when restaurants forget that their blaring music is not the main feature. The entire restaurant has a lovely ambiance. The food is nothing short of sensational. Additionally, they bring you their signature tall parmesan breadstcks as well as a big basket with 6 types of their homemade breads with deep verdant green EVOO. All were delicious. Portions are generous, and everything we ordered was beyond delicious! Especially recommend the rabbit ragu.. best we have ever had, farm chicken and their quintessential tiramisu. The mixologist at the bar was way above par, as was their wine list, including those wines being served by the glass. The whole staff and managers were welcoming and accommodating from the moment we first entered until we left. All wait staff are extremely well trained and professional. The management circles continuously, making sure your experience with them is outstanding. Virtually cannot say enough about the fabulous chef and this entire restaurant. As we were leaving, my husband said, "We should plan on coming here once a week, and we will certainly want to bring our out of town guests". His comments sum up our dining experience at Locanda Locatelli perfectly. It is our new go to. Bravo 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

Nulla da dire sulle linguine all’astice, ma ci mancherebbe ancora! Lo fanno bene anche dalla trattoria sotto casa se diamo loro un buon prodotto. Cattura giusta, giusto al dente, crostaceo buono: insomma un buon piatto. Ma poi, per favore!!! Il carciofo, la mia verdura preferita, martoriato, imbarbarito e lontano da qualsiasi canone culinario: ma perché mai? Come è possibile servire in un ristorante STELLATO un carciofo duro fino al cuore, filaccioso, coperto e ripieno di un orrendo miscuglio di pane, prezzemolo ed una quantità tale di aglio da far impallidire un piemontese dopo aver mangiato la bagna cauda. E il povero cuore tenero del carciofo tolto, forse, per mischiarlo con l’orrendo miscuglio. Davvero presentare a tavola un simile scempio non è neppure da peggior trattoria di quartiere. Ops, locanda di quartiere… Lascio pertanto in totale una solo stella, anche perché di meno non si può, perché spero che i Sous Chefs lasciati da soli a Pasqua fossero totalmente ignari di che cosa voglia dire preparare un carciofo. Mi auguro che in presenza dello Chef Locatelli un simile scempio possa non solo non essere accettato, ma di certo neppure preparato. Per cui, consiglio da profano, forse è meglio controllare un po’ di più chi prepara i piatti

Appena entrati siamo stati accolti da Giorgio Locatelli in persona e dal personale molto gentile e simpatico, cibo ottimo e atmosfera molto piacevole. Un’esperienza da provare che consiglio a tutti!!!

It's not a dinner, but an experience. Excellent, obviously very expensive.

Nice experience. Food is a little bit on the ‘old fashioned’ side, meaning traditional and food of flavors. Presentation is not a big thing here 🥰 we did not want to disturb Giorgio, who was in the room, but as a general way of doing it have been nice to meet him briefly. Once you are a celebrity if you appear you must do a little be of a show, otherwise you stay behind the scenes. Anyhow one of the best Italian restaurants in town.

We dined here back in June. I expected more from a Michelin star restaurant. The staff were nice & friendly but the food was average. Chicken smelled & was bland, pasta was good with their own twist on it but nothing exceptional, and the fish was also average with no wow factor. Not a bad experience in total but not something I would want to go back to.

This restaurant excelled in all categories. The restaurant was beautiful with the walls and ceiling looking great. The service was impeccable and the most important part every dish was presented and was exceptional. Would recommend this top restaurant and will continue to go when we go back to London.

I had dinner last night with my daughter. We had a wonderful time, we even took a photo with him! I advise

Excellent location, welcome worthy of a high level restaurant, very attentive service during dinner, improvable at the end, left a little aside; Small clarification, it would have been nice to bring the bottle chosen for the service (whisky) to the table.

Ottimo servizio, personale molto attento e gentile. Pietanze curate nei dettagli, abbinamenti ideali, hanno incontrato i nostri gusti. Abbiamo avuto la fortuna di incontrare lo chef che si è soffermato a scambiare due chiacchiere con noi a tavola ed ha accompagnato nostro figlio per un tour della cucina. Persona alla mano, disponibile e davvero molto cordiale. So impressed by everything!

Pretty average at best and overpriced. I dine regularly at Michelin star restaurants and this did not meet the bar in my opinion. Both pasta dishes were quite mediocre.

We had a lovely time at Locanda Locatelli. The dishes we ordered were very good and well prepared. Staff was friendly and attentive. Pleasant atmosphere. Not sure if the Michelin star is well deserved.

The worst possible experience at a so called 1 michellin star restaurant. I have allergies and the breadsticks had cheese in them. No precautions were made despite my husband emailing in great length before our visit to alert them of my allergies. A really disappointing visit for so many reasons.

We were celebrating with family and the ambience is relaxed and convivial. Pasta starter could have been much more generous with the fish hence 4*. Main course of mullet was wonderfully executed and the roasted chicken was liked by our guests. All staff attentive, friendly and happy to chat about the food and drinks. Overall we had a lovely evening.

Great evening had tonight. Great food, excellent service and very welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere. All the staff were excellent, Therani was great(excuse spelling) to name one! Thanks

This is the restaurant located in Churchill Hotel. It does have its low key touch from the outlook to the atmosphere. The service is one of the kind. The tartare di Manzo is delicious as starter. The linguine lobster is excellent as well. It’s a bit overpriced but I won’t complain too much since the food does deliver.

Friendly and very attentive staff. Nice and tasty dishes. A deserved star...

I'm sorry but I have to say great disappointment for being a starred restaurant. Compared to the habits of other 1-star restaurants that I am used to in Italy (without inconveniencing 2 or 3 stars) - dishes are not presented - there is no tasting menu - no welcome entree (an amuse bocche or small appetizer) - crowded tables and noisy place - waiters unprepared and a little awkward - partially seated (2 out of 5) on a sofa, to enter they had to open the door for us and then served with waiters who handed the dishes from the back of the sofa onto the table - limited wine list, with almost all Italian wines, French whites only champagne, no still wines. Add to all this the aubergine starter which arrived with a 2cm piece of film in the dough Having pointed out the chef's apologies (reported by the waitress), we were promised that the cost of the dish would be reversed, but I have no evidence of this. They then brought us a pre dessert with the chef's apologies. Positives - dishes (with simple flavors and plating) that are discreet in taste - choice of around 8 starters, first courses and second courses - quite fast - glass never empty - aesthetically pleasing place In summary 1 star which I struggle to understand and disproportionate bill compared to the food and the service.

This was my second time at Locatelli. The first time, last year, was much more pleasant, which is why I came back, but this second time, things have changed. To give a title I would say: good restaurant, but not starred. This time the place was much darker, which I personally don't appreciate when dining, but this can be overlooked, it's subjective. The first year an amuse Bouche was served, not present this time. I found the dishes very good, tasty, aesthetically nothing fancy, but pleasant. The breadsticks and bread that are brought are particularly good. The real sore point of the experience was the service: I found the waiters much more unprepared (when introducing me the first one got the central ingredient of the seasoning wrong) and above all the sommelier: a truly inelegant presence in that context, which speaks to loud voice with the tables next to him making conversation impossible, and a decidedly unstarry way of acting. Furthermore, the coffee was brought along with the dessert, without waiting for us to finish the dish. One of the most positive notes, exactly like the first experience, are the desserts: very good and excellently presented. I highlight a price increase from the previous year, ordering 2 identical dishes, and the same number and type of courses, of 30 pounds. In short, overall the dishes are good, but the side dish and many details lack the attention that should be required in a starred restaurant, details that will lead us to choose another restaurant next year, given that, for the same price, you can find equally good restaurants, but perhaps with more attention. (Both times the chef was not present in the restaurant, and in my opinion, this is the reason why the restaurant is increasingly lacking in attention)

Very elegant place and real quality food! Both for the products and for the staff, it seems to be in an Italian restaurant (not like in some Italian restaurants abroad which are not at all!). Not too formal environment, very helpful, knowledgeable, kind and friendly staff. We expected the prices we found, not exactly average, but for an experience they are consistent with the service offered. Advised.

An Italian family traveling to London who wanted to try the "starry" experience of the great chef from their countryman... Good dishes, reasonably well presented, helpful staff and an attentive Maitre. The restaurant is nothing special, but the dishes make the difference! We would have liked to meet the great Giorgio, it's a shame we didn't find him! Maybe next time ;)

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.

Top food Top restaurant. Definitely one of London's best

Experience was really good, the staff and the service were impeccable. However, I was expecting more with the food. The burrata was really tasty and the involtino di triglia was alright, a bit too salty and with too much going on, other plates were decent but not worthy of a 1 Michelin star restaurant in my opinion. Prices are in line with London and with what you’d expect from an Italian Michelin star restaurant.

I have been to this restaurant before and decided to find the poor service and off hand treatment charming. I am afraid that wore very thin on a second visit. Tutted at for asking for olive oil that hadn't arrived, food arrived before wine, told to 'wait' when asked to pay for the third time etc. Staff also were arguing with each other. The food was nice, not masses of chef's skills but enjoyable. Expensive, but not too much for what it was. It felt like it needed a stronger manager to hold the team in line, as it was, the atmosphere rather spoilt our evening.

The feeling throughout the dinner is that the asking price is not justified. Allergies are not asked and biscuits with dried fruit are brought at the end of the meal. The service, although fast and polite, did not live up to the price and there were some uncertainties in the description of the dishes. The calamarata with monkfish was very good and worth the visit alone.

The pasta was al dente so it was very good, but it would have been even better if it had Vongole Bianco. Wine was also OK.

Always a great experience, had the best risotto ever

While I genuinely appreciate the fact that they found me a table on a busy Saturday night without a reservation, I unfortunately found the food to be just alright and definitely nothing exceptional. On the other hand, it was very reasonably priced, but I was looking for something a bit more memorable. The fact that they didn’t strike something I didn’t eat from the bill and then brought me somebody else’s was also quite odd. The search for good Italian food in London continues.

L'accoglienza è il servizio impeccabili la qualità delle materie prime eccellente i sapori indimenticabili peccato che nonostante avessi avvertito dell'allegria all'aglio sono stata male subito dopo la cena.

The ultimate experience! Delicious proper Italian food. Very high quality. Prepared staff. Highly recommended!! I’ll come back

We were looking so much forward to this evening. Having eaten at a few michelin starred restaurants around the world we had some expectations for food and service. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed with Locanda Locatelli. We were a party of 4 and it was a birthday dinner. The only really good dish was the sepia antipasto, all the other dishes were average or below, felt totally uninspired and were far from 1 michelin star quality. E.g. the burrata antipasto was boring, lacked salt and some acidity. The gnocchi with goat cheese and truffle were nice, but it would have tasted exactly the same without the truffle, as we could neither smell nor taste this truffle, even though ther was abundantly on the dish, we found this very strange... Also the fried zucchini lacked salt and were hence not as pleasant to eat as they could have been. Also, in a restaurant like this, I expect the chef to greet the guests at some point during the evening, which unfortunately did not happen. Also, we got unlucky with our waitress. We had 2 people in our party that only spoke Italian and we got the only waitress who didn't speak the language. She was friendly, but also very insecure and I always felt pity when she presented the dishes because she did this in a very peculiar way. Also, to be honest, all these fabric bracelets around her wrists felt very unhygienic... All the other waiters, the maître d' and the sommelier were fantastic though! They also did their best to make up for it when we shared that we weren't happy about the food. It is for this quality of service that I give 3 stars to this post. Service 5, Food 2!

Trip to London and second time at Locatelli. Elegant environment, with excellent atmosphere. Attentive and precise service. Account in line with London prices. Good menu for local palates, in Italy I think it would be very different, however everything was appreciated.

Finalmente siamo riusciti a venir a cenare al ristorante del famoso chef italiano Locatelli! Arrivati, l’accoglienza è unica, raffinata, elegante e molto personale. Dopo esserci accomodati, dal menu ho ordinato La Burrata alla "Vignarola" (Burrata, artichoke, peas, broad beans, mint, mixed salad, spring onion) e a seguire le Pappardelle, fave, rucola e pecorino di Pienza. Il tutto accompagnato da una bottiglia di vino bianco Soave Classico, Pieropan, 100% Garganega. I piatti erano buonissimi, ben bilanciati, cotti alla perfezione e con materiali di prima ed eccellente qualità! Il personale a sua volta è cordiale, simpatico, disponibile e attento a ogni minimo dettagli e nostra esigenza/richiesta! Il ristorante è elegante, con in atmosfera molto intima e ottima per passare una serata davvero irripetibile! Complimenti davvero a tutto lo staff, perché è un’esperienza che merita anche di essere ripetuta!!

We went one evening and were greeted warmly and served professionally. Nice atmosphere. Good food, especially the meat.

Mia moglie era incinta quando siamo andati a mangiare alla Locanda, la ragazza che ci ha accompagnato al tavolo l’ha notato e ha avvisato immediatamente la cucina. Attenzione per i dettagli e per le persone. Peccato che lo chef non era presente

We went there for dinner for my husbands 60th in March. We were so disappointed with everything especially the food which was very underwhelming! And then a huge bill! Not what we expected at all

For our birthday, my sister and I treated ourselves to a trip to London, why not end with a good dinner! The staff is helpful and friendly. Moving the table to sit/get up is a little inconvenient. Not drinking wine (we only ordered a bottle of water for our personal reasons) I felt like I was "stingy". They bring a basket of bread and oil: delicious. Too bad the bread plate was missing! The breadsticks were not to my liking. Having chosen the dishes (too bad there was no tasting menu) and specified that my sister doesn't like cheese, hers comes with a sprinkling of parmesan! A serious oversight. My second course with all those raw artichoke leaves, even not, the cream and the fish were excellent! Excellent tiramisu, mediocre dessert with pistachio and cherries. Very happy with the plate with the candle!!! Clean and tidy place.

Food was tasty and expertly presented and the staff were very attentive and friendly we would definitely go back.

Quiet place, excellent service and finally an extraordinary dinner. Cost??? Proportional to the above but in line.

Tragicomic experience Once you arrive at the restaurant, you enter independently and are welcomed by the staff. Overcoats are put away and you are led to the table. First embarrassment already in sitting down: the table is completely moved to accommodate the diners on the sofa but the scene is completely singular and awkward. After a few minutes, the breadsticks (1 per person), bread, focaccia and oil are brought. The sommelier lived up to expectations by recommending good wines based on our preferences and orders. Some flaws on the service however: side dish not arrived, stained table, re-fill carried out with the wrong wine. In general the staff seemed quite tense. Moving on to the menu: dishes without great imagination, taste good but not very convincing or innovative. The lobster linguine arrived in the form of spaghetti and a discreet oily base. The second course of grouper fish had a basically raw and inedible artichoke base. Illy coffee is good. Disproportionate bill compared to the food, the service and the atmosphere in general.

Please turn on the airconditioner. I was so hot, not comfortable to have dinner at there.

Giorgione Nazionale Masterchef 10th honors

Great food… but when I ask for the bill at 10 pm and don’t get it till 1040 and then the machine takes just as long to come, the service quality significantly declines. Do not keep your patrons waiting an hour to leave your restaurant, it is quite rude.

The food is not good with no taste. The waiters don’t stop poring water to their customers and it gets annoying. The ambience is nice.

The atmosphere is very nice, the service excellent. The staff is very courteous, competent and friendly and is appropriate for the venue. We didn't see Chef Giorgio Locatelli, it's a shame he would have been magnificent. The traditional cuisine, the food of excellent quality, the flavours, all excellently well balanced, worthy of a starred restaurant. The correct price for what we ate. The tables are many in number, very close together and small in my experience. However, the bill is adequate. We were looked after by Giovanni who turned out to be a perfect host, thank you.

I'm sorry to leave such a negative review The service was impeccable, with well-trained and polite dining room staff The perplexity arises when seeing the menu, the presentation of the dishes, and unfortunately the dishes themselves We left the restaurant very disappointed and we can't explain how it is possible that it is still starred Bread and breadsticks are served at the table (unfortunately the latter were old and had lost their crumbliness), there is no tasting menu and there are no amuse bouche of any kind. At the time of the bill, an almond paste is brought (I found it very bitter) and a decidedly poor marshmallow. The bathroom is shared with the adjacent hotel We probably hit the wrong night

Don't expect an experience like an Italian star but the dishes presented are truly delicious as per "traditional" Italian cuisine

Chef’s table was a great touch. Grazie

Well-kept place with very friendly and attentive service. The dishes, although of good quality, in my opinion did not prove to be worthy of a Michelin star. You can certainly find quality raw materials and good dishes but the WOW effect that you expect from a place like this is missing.

Extremely high expectations were unfortunately partly unfulfilled. The location certainly looks better, otherwise I confirm what I read in the other reviews

Il segreto di Locanda Locatelli sta nel proporre una cucina interamente italiana, a Londra, puntando sulla qualità delle materie prime e sul gusto , senza ammiccamenti a facili smancerie e “foglie d’oro”. Piatti ottimi e quantità generose. Atmosfera intima e personale da encomiare per la gentilezza e disponibilità. Stella Michelin altamente meritata.

Siamo stati a Locanda Locatelli lo scorso marzo 2024 in quanto, affascinati da tempo mio fratello ed io al progamma Masterchef , abbiamo deciso di provare uno dei rinomati ristoranti dello Chef Giorgio Locatelli. Il posto si trova in una zona abbastanza centrale di Londra, vicino ad Hyde Park, e sin dal primo momento ti senti coccolato dai camerieri, i quali ad ogni portata ti spiegano il piatto scelto con professionalità. Sebbene impauriti dal fatto di aver preso tutte le portate e dunque il prezzo sarebbe accresciuto di molto, in realtà la cifra è stata modica. E poi bisogna aggiungere che la totale esperienza e i meravigliosi piatti, sia nella cura estetica che nel gusto, valgono la pena di essere assaggiati e gustati almeno una volta.

Situata nei pressi di Hyde Park, Locanda Locatelli è tappa obbligata per chiunque voglia ritrovare i sapori di casa, dell’autentica cucina italiana ma con un twist di personalità in più, sicuramente dettato dalla personalità ed estrosità dello chef Locatelli. Il menù è molto variegato ed adatto a tutti i gusti. Le materie prime utilizzate sono strepitose e accostate con maestria dalla brigata di cucina. Sicuramente sapranno come stupirvi e come lasciarvi un buon ricordo della serata. Consiglio vivamente il pollo arrosto e le tagliatelle fatte in casa con il ragù di capretto (STREPITOSE). Staff cordiale, gentile, preparato, che vi farà sentire a casa anche a chilometri e chilometri di distanza.

Having purchased a gift voucher on their site, they expressly refuse twice to provide the number of vouchers that I would have liked to communicate to the couple to whom I would have donated the voucher, for use during the holidays. This is foolish and uncooperative behavior. I requested a full refund of the Voucher paid by opening a Paypal dispute. I would also like to point out that the seller's website was NOT absolutely clear on this method. Be wary of purchasing these Vouchers on their site because it is in all respects a meaningless practice.

I was very excited to try this restaurant, it was recommended by friends and has a Michelin star. The food was really good, but I was a little disappointed for a few reasons: First of all, my partner and I had a reservation and when we got there on time the table was not ready. We were re-directed to the bar to wait and have a drink while they got the table ready for us. It took 25min, and we payed £36 for two drinks. We did not receive an apology from the restaurant. I think for a 25min wait we should have been offered at least an apology and a complimentary drink. Apart from that, the pasta was very tasty but the desserts disappointed me. The soufflé seemed undercooked and the tiramisu (which I was the most excited about!) was mainly whipped cream. Personally, for £275 I believe it was not worth it. I don’t think I’ll be coming back unfortunately.

The food no longer fascinates compared to the time 5-10 years ago. Given the price tag, there are many better options in the Mayfair in gastronomic terms

I started with a delicious blood negroni , followed by a simple spring salad. The ingredients through meal shone in freshness and quality but some courses were a disappointment. Too many of the same ingredients throughout the menu made it difficult to choose varying courses. My partner and I both thought the pasta was fantastic but the meat course was indifferent. The service was very attentive.

Nulla contro lo staff che è gentile e la location che è abbastanza carina, ma la stella Michelin non è proprio giustificata. A paragone di altri ristoranti stellati qui non ci siamo proprio su molti aspetti: menù, servizio, presentazione dei piatti...le aspettative sono state decisamente disattese.

The food wasn’t as good as I expected. Wasn’t bad but nothing was special at all.

La più terrificante cena della mia vita ,non la dimenticherò mai ,ho mangiato le peggiori linguine all' astice della mia vita ,era una pasta al pomodoro senza sale l,astice non esisteva ,sedie a divano scomodissime servizio scarsissimo ed abile soltanto a depredare le tue tasche cannoli alla siciliana insapori ed i peggiori mai mangiati ,e meno male che questa gente la vedi in TV a spiegare come si cucina

So dimly lit we struggled to read the menu, which is eye wateringly expensive. Was so looking forward to this dinner with old friends but will not rush back. Masses of excellent serving staff and. Excellent skyscraper grissini with Parmesan… but the portions are tiny and the costs are sky high for average food. £25 for an under seasoned burrito did not hit the spot despite really good peas and beans and tuile. Kid goat pasta had 2 pieces of gristle in it, also under seasoned and bland. Supposedly had chilli in it, found no trace. When pointed out at the end good for them they took it off the menu but at over £40, who is happy to pay this these days, I don’t know. Really good wines. I just expected a lot more, sorry again,

Can’t say more than this restaurant is on Michelin list 2024! Super delicious

Siamo stati alla locanda durante la nostra vacanza londinese. Appena arrivati il locale sembrava chiuso, veramente buio esternamente, entriamo e devo dire che il locale è abbastanza carino, il personale è davvero cordiale è preparato, direi da ristorante stellato...dopo aver ordinato iniziamo quasi a sudare...nel locale facevo un caldo bestiale,ma di quel caldo fastidioso. Un'altro dettaglio il bagno, praticamente devi entrare in un'albergo per usufruirne. Per il resto tutto buono anche se mi aspettavo qualcosa in più...costi in linea con londra. Dai GIORGIO!!!

Mi sono recata per una cena con amici un sabato sera, il locale è carino e accogliente...ma le cose positive finiscono qui.... La scelta delle pietanze molto scarsa...su 6 antipasti 4 sono insalate!!! La calamarata ordinata definita leggermente al dente ci è stata servita praticamente CRUDA.... Anche il dolce ordinato, un semplice tiramisù davvero deludente...certamente non da ristorante tra i primi 15 al mondo. Anche il servizio è stato di basso livello, la cameriera ci versava l'acqua in maniera davvero sgarbata e ci ha tolto i piatti mentre stavamo ancora mangiando...evidentemente aveva fretta di andare a casa NON LO CONSIGLIO....

We had dinner at this place on Tuesday, but were disappointed. Food for a chef Locatelli's restaurant and with a Michelin star, nothing special. We had a risotto and a steak each, the meat was really disappointing, not even the cooking was precise, rare as we had asked. Tables too close to each other mean you can't talk intimately. Staff were friendly, polite and nice, but I wouldn't go back again.

Another super meal matched by super service from everyone in the team. We had a lovely time, great wine recommendations, everyone was friendly and attentive, despite it being busy. Thank you.

Ci siamo recate alla Locanda cariche di enormi aspettative che sono state tristemente deluse. Decidendo di saltare l’aperitivo che ci veniva proposto per iniziare, abbiamo subito chiesto una bottiglia d’acqua frizzante e ci è stata servita una bottiglia di acqua naturale. Fatto notare l’errore, si sono scusati e ci hanno portato l’acqua richiesta. Intanto è arrivato il cestino del pane e qualche grissino. Grissini al formaggio buoni, ma con un sapore ben noto, il cestino del pane aveva qualche fetta di pane fresco, due pezzi di facaccia molto rustica e un panino tipo piccola rosetta abbastanza biscottato e da sotto molto bruciato. Abbiamo messo il panino dal lato del bruciato in bella mostra sperando che il cameriere lo notasse e ce lo sostituisse, ma, pur avvicinandosi frequentemente al tavolo per riempire i bicchieri di acqua, al panino non ha prestato la minima attenzione. L’olio portato in una scodellina a parte, invece, era davvero buono. Peccato che ad un certo punto ce l’abbiano portato via senza nemmeno chiedere. Abbiamo ordinato due antipasti: buono ma non eccezionale il carpaccio di orata, la tartare di manzo invece non era per niente equilibrata visto che il sapore dell’aceto copriva fortemente tutto il resto. Come primi abbiamo preso un piatto di tortellini e uno di cappellacci ricotta ed asparagi. Il brodo dei tortellini era completamente privo di sale e insapore, buoni ma nessun effetto wow i tortellini. Buoni gli asparagi che accompagnavano i cappellacci, ma la pasta ripiena risultava pesante e la crema aveva solo sapore di formaggio. Buono il dolce (una crostatina all’albococca), imbarazzante l’assaggio di pasticceria offerta da loro (un mashmellow, un amaretto, un pasticcino al cioccolato dalla forma impresentabile). Per finire hanno sbagliato il conto addebitando anche l’acqua naturale che avevano portato per sbaglio all’inizio. In conclusione non ci tornerei e non lo consiglierei, forse per gli inglesi è un ristorante eccelso, ma in un medio ristorante italiano si mangia molto meglio.
