Run by the Cipriani family since 1935, the Locanda is Harry’s Bar gone rustic, with a wood-beamed dining room opening onto a pretty garden. But standards are standards, so staff buzz about in dapper bow ties, theatrically silver serving every dish – even the pasta! The kitchen is just as precise, delivering pillowy gnocchi, perfectly cooked fish and decadent chocolate mousse.
