This charming establishment, housed within the Hotel Locarno, boasts elegant Art Nouveau interiors adorned with original antique furniture and mirrors from the early 20th century.

I truly enjoyed the food experience at Bar Locano Restaurant in Rome. Both dinner and lunch were perfect, and even the breakfast, if you’re staying at the hotel, is absolutely worth trying. Compliments to the entire team, and especially to Chef Domenico. Highly recommended!

Quiet spot away from the crush of tourists. We sat in the garden which was lovely, peaceful. Very good service and food. We assumed service was included in our bill. However, when we paid the bill we had the impression that it was not, since our attention was directed (politely) to the typical "tip" area on the pad, which we declined. If tip was not included, I wish it had been stated clearly somewhere because we certainly would have left 20%. It was well worth it and we will return in a couple of weeks.

We came here for breakfast. The staff was professional and kind. The bar is located in a 5 stars hotel. There is the possibility of having breakfast indoor or outdoor. My husband enjoyed his food; he got the eggs Benedict and French toast, both of which were good. I, on the other hand, was quite disappointed with my pancakes. They came as four small pieces and definitely weren’t worth the €14 price tag. Overall, it seems that depending on what you order, you can either have a great or a disappointing experience.

Love the fried artichokes and cocktails. Love the ambiance. Very elegant but not pretentious. We come here whenever we are in Rome.

We loved this place. The garden was incredibly pleasant and peaceful. All the staff were extremely polite, kind, and attentive. The music, the atmosphere… everything was of high quality. We enjoyed it very much. Alongside your drink, they offer complimentary olives, chips, and roasted almonds, all of which were incredibly delicious. A very thoughtful touch to accompany your drink. I highly recommend this place, located inside a hotel with a beautiful garden, away from the crowds. The prices were a bit high, but I think it’s worth the quality of service they provide. 🙏
