Sale e Pepe of Knightsbridge is a London institution welcoming generations of guests and lovers of traditional Italian food, ranging from British to Hollywood royalty, politicians, writers, singers, theatre goers, shoppers and residents alike with great atmosphere, familiar faces and classic Italian hospitality.

Located next to Sloane Street, one of London's most exclusive fashion shopping streets, we are a two minute walk from Harrods and Harvey Nichols in Knightsbridge.

The restaurant started service out of two shop fronts on Pavilion Road in 1974, and in 1985 it was extended further to create a bar providing the perfect location for pre and after dinner drinks.

Very lively restaurant! Octopus starter was delicious. The Cacio et Pepe pasta could have been better - it was oily/buttery and not as creamy. The lamb for two was delicious - perfect portion and cooked really well.

Had the lobster linguine and the clam spaghetti. Extremely over priced for very bland pasta, very little lobster. Basically tasted like a standard passata sauce with empty lobster shell on top. The clam spaghetti tasted of absolutely nothing. Zero seasoning/butter/garlic/herb. Will not be going back.

The ownership/management of the restaurant has changed and with that, the service offered by the new staff is very bad. With the exception of the three long term staff, all of the new ones are rude, not attentive at all, ignore requests and just not nice at all. The food is still very good but with such miserable staff and and surrounded by angry customers, I don't think we will go back there again.

Dear Ammar, thank you so much for your feedback and for taking the time to leave us a review. We are very sorry to hear your visit with us was not as expected.

We have dined here numerous times. Today was the poorest by far . They are having a celebration tonight of 50 yrs of Sale e Pepe so maybe their attention was elsewhere . The starters were exceptional , the pasta was very poor and the desserts were terrific A bit disappointed.
