Locanda Locatelli London

Locanda Locatelli sits on Seymour Street, a fifteen-minute walk from the galleries at The Wallace Collection. It holds one star in the Michelin Guide and currently ranks as no. 14 in the 50 Top Italy guide.

The dining room is dressier than the casual trattorias found elsewhere in the city, but it avoids the stiff, hushed tone often associated with three-rosette venues. While most Italian spots in London rely on rustic familiarity, the kitchen here delivers a refined take on contemporary cooking that justifies the trip away from the crowded Bond Street shopping district. It is a calculated choice for those who want the rigor of a Michelin-starred kitchen without the performative ceremony usually found in the category.
