We had a lovely lunch yesterday at Locanda Locatelli. The service was amazing, the team couldn’t do enough for us. I have two allergies and they took such care over my food, without compromising the dishes. They have a terrific selection of gluten free options, including all the deserts and even the petit fours! The Tiramisu martini was gorgeous and came with GF lady fingers! The restaurant itself had a lovely ambiance and intimate atmosphere. A truly 5 star experience. Thank you!

Excellent service—smiling and attentive. The Pasta was very well. cooked al dente, as it should be for any respecting pasta eater. The Decor could be a little cosier, more trattoria-style. There was good ambiance, and the noise was fine—you should always expect a bit of rumble.

Adorable neighbourhood place. Unpretentious but with delicious food, friendly service, a relaxed atmosphere. I'm Italian so it's rare for me to enjoy an Italian meal in London. However Le Briciole serves genuinely homemade, authentic dishes.

The restaurant had a nice atmosphere and the truffle pasta and cocktails were nice. We ordered the prawn linguine but it was too spicy and we couldn’t eat it. It would be better to advice that this plate is spicy when it is being ordered as it wasn’t indicated in the menu. We also mentioned that to the waiter and they didn’t change the plate or even do a gesture even if the dish couldn’t be eaten.
