After 23 years of operation, the Michelin-starred Locanda Locatelli in London has closed its doors.
Located in the Hyatt Regency – Churchill on Seymour Street, the restaurant has long been a magnet for celebrities including Kate Winslet, Brad Pitt and Madonna.
Chef Giorgio Locatelli opened the restaurant alongside his wife in 2002 and earned a Michelin star just a year later.
Announcing the news on Instagram, Locatelli said: “It is with a heavy heart that for reasons beyond our control we are now permanently closed. We will miss all our customers, many who have become friends. But when our door closes, another one opens, so check our social media for updates on our new project.
“We wish you all a happy, healthy and prosperous 2025 and thank you all for meeting us over the past 23 years.”
Designed by David Collins, Locanda Locatelli underwent a £1 million refurbishment in 2014.
The menu included lobster linguine, pappardelle with broad beans and rucola, and cicerchia soup with whole grain shrimp ravioli.
