; Via Alberto Mario 12; meals €30-40; 12.30-2.30pm & 7.30-10.30pm

With its open kitchen, impeccable presentation and four hot-shot
chefs designing the seasonal menu and manning stations, you're right to expect great
things from the
locanda
. Don't disregard the simpler dishes; some of them are genuinely
inspired such as the mushroom
velouté
(a velvety soup made from stock, egg yolks and
cream) on a bed of smoked potato, with such a flavour punch you'll wonder if you've ever
truly tasted a mushroom before.
