Locatelli Milano — Restaurant in Milan

Loved, loved, loved this place so, so much. I had never been to Italy before and stopped by Milan for less than 24 hours on my way to London for work. I couldn't leave without trying what Milan is known for, their Milanese risotto and also pasta. I was originally going to go to Risoelatte based off Yelp reviews but they were fully booked for the day and I had to catch a plane in an hour so I walked down the street to Locatelli Milano and I'm so glad I did!

I cannot imagine visiting Milan without coming here for this dish. Hats off to the chef and team. Pricing was absolutely reasonable for...

So disappointed with this restaurant and experience with complaining afterwards. For £100pp we were served a selection of substandard dishes. A selection of the most disappointing parts of the meal include

The veal meatballs served were cold in the middle Perch that was cooked slightly on the outside with the middle is entirely raw [as seen in photos] - Cuttlefish pasta that came out so hot, it was steaming but the middle was only warm as if reheated Two tiny pieces of beef with nothing significant about the dish in terms of dressings or accompaniments

Was not offered anything to apologise except 20% off our next visit and a complementary bottle of wine … which isn’t ok as I don’t want to go back and couldn’t even if I wanted to as we live in the UK and were only visiting for...
