Locanda Locatelli Restaurant
Locanda Locatelli is a Michelin Star family restaurant with chef Giorgio running the kitchen whilst his wife, Plaxy, oversees the front of house. Designs for the restaurant's interior, which seats ninety people, were created by David Collins.
The essence of Giorgio's cooking is to skilfully draw out the natural flavours and textures of quality fresh produce, much of which is imported directly from Italy. The menu includes such dishes as char-grilled squid with chilli and garlic, hand-made tagliatelle with kid goat ragù and fillet of wild sea bass with artichoke purée and Vernaccia wine sauce. There is a particular emphasis on fresh pasta and a variety of regional Italian breads, all of which are made daily on the premises. There are also a number of sharing dishes great for small parties and families.
The wine list, which is exclusively Italian, has been compiled by Sommelier Virgilio Gennaro and offers some exceptional examples from the Piemonte and Tuscany.
