Locatelli at the National Gallery is an Italian restaurant in the gallery’s Sainsbury Wing on Trafalgar Square. Created by Giorgio Locatelli and his team, the dining room draws on the welcoming spirit of an Italian trattoria while providing a polished setting for lunch, dinner or a meal around a gallery visit.

The cooking follows the seasons and places carefully chosen ingredients at the centre of each plate. Antipasti may bring together vegetables, cheese, cured meat or seafood, while handmade pasta and risotto express the kitchen’s precise but reassuringly familiar approach to Italian food.

Simply grilled fish, roast meats and vegetable led main courses extend the menu beyond pasta. Dishes such as scialatielli, bigoli, tortellini and calamarata sit comfortably beside lemon chicken, rib eye and stone bass, with Italian classics interpreted through modern presentation and thoughtful accompaniments.

Tiramisu, cassata and other desserts complete the experience, supported by an extensive Italian influenced drinks programme, cocktails and wine. A set menu suits a shorter visit, while the à la carte menu and relaxed service make it possible to spend more time at the table before returning to the collection or nearby theatres.
