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.

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.

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!

Reading all the extremely positive reviews of Locanda Locatelli made me think of that scene from the Beckham docuseries:
“It was amazing!”
“Be honest.”
“I eat well.”
“Be honest.”
“It was terrible.”
Thank you.

I had high expectations for this Michelin-starred restaurant, especially given the chef's popularity from television and shows like MasterChef. It is easy to set high standards for others, but when it comes to our own experience, it felt more like "do as I say, not as I do." The attention to detail and level of service promised by the restaurant’s reputation were sorely lacking.

** Seating/Comfort/Atmosphere
First off, the seating was a joke: tables so close together it felt like I was dining at an office desk, not a high-end restaurant. Every time I needed to make a phone call or go to the bathroom, I had to either lift my table or ask the staff for help. Not exactly the experience I was hoping for.

**Customer Service/Response
When we asked about the reason for these tables being so close together and whether it would be possible to change tables, the staff responded in a rather defensive, even somewhat rude, manner, saying that no one had ever complained about this before and that everything had been fine for 22/23 years.
How is it possible that, after 22 or 23 years, no one has ever complained about the seating (staff mentioned that they always 'move the tables' to allow customers to get in/out of their seats and pass)? How could authorities have allowed such an arrangement to persist for so long, especially considering the potential dangers? In the event of a fire or emergency, how would guests be able to exit the restaurant quickly?

Eventually, we were moved, but the new table was still too close to the others. Needless to say, this would have been even more uncomfortable for someone who is not exactly 'slim'.

**Cleanliness
Moreover, after the staff moved us, we noticed the table next to ours was still dirty, with a stained tablecloth from the previous lunch. It stayed that way for over 20 minutes after we changed tables. When they finally got around to cleaning it, they laid down a new tablecloth while simultaneously sweeping the floor, even lifting the broom as they did so, all while we were still eating our first course at the adjacent table! This was not only poorly timed, but also unprofessional, further disrupting our dining experience.

**Food Quality
Now, let us talk about the food. It was far from what the standard from a Michelin-starred restaurant. The flavours were muddled, and I struggled to distinguish any of the ingredients. Licorice, chestnuts… I am still not sure if I was supposed to taste them or not. We ordered two appetisers and two main courses, but none of the dishes left a lasting impression. The dessert, which we had been eagerly anticipating after seeing photos online on Locanda Locatelli's website, was especially underwhelming. It arrived as a chocolate sphere with very little ice cream to accompany it, nothing special at all.

**Bill/Summary Overview
The only thing that reflected the Michelin rating, also as many customers already highlighted in their reviews, was the price. Unfortunately, not the quality of the food or service. It was certainly not worth the hype, and I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. There are much better options in London, where the food is more reasonably priced, offers better dishes, and at least gives you some privacy and comfort while you dine. The portions were generous and dishes were brought quickly, but the overall experience was disappointing.

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.
