"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!"
