The best Italian restaurant in London! Elisa is a super host, makes you feel at home and suggests only the best. The gamberoni and pasta with clams were great! I was teleported to an Italian beach with just a taste. They were super friendly with our baby and made a small surprise for my partner too. We will go back soon! Well done guys!

I loved the carbonara, everything was very good. I went with 6 other friends and I loved the girl who served me, her name was Carol, she was very friendly and polite. I want to go back again.

I had a wonderful anniversary dinner here with my partner. Sensational food and incredibly attentive and kind staff. Felt looked after at every stage. Really, really good - don’t sleep on it, just go! ( PS - don’t miss the tiramisu)

Great vibes and service. The lobster pasta for 2 was very filling and a good choice. Zucchini fritters recommended by the staff were also the highlight, and I’m not a fan of zucchinis in general. Squid ink risotto was a miss for me though, it felt a little too watery/soft than what I’m used to. The new decor is beautiful but may get a little cramped for some.

Tonight we experienced La Dolce Vita in London! If I didn’t know any better, I would’ve thought I was in Rome! It was not just the food, but the company as well. Elisa and her staff made us feel like we were having Dinner at my Italian grandmothers house. Marcello behind the bar, Julia, as our waitress, every single one of these amazing people made the night the most memorable we’ve had in quite sometime! I would absolutely return and I would go so far as to say this might be the best Italian in all of the London suburbs, bravo!

A friend at home in the U. S. told us to go here. He said it was his favorite restaurant in the world. It is truly an amazing dining experience. From the greeting, to interaction with the owner to every single server that came to our table the service was amazing. The food was incredible. If you visit (or live in) London, make this a part of your dining plan. You will NOT be disappointed.

We recently dined at Sale e Pepe in London to celebrate my wife’s birthday, and it was an unforgettable experience that deserves nothing less than a glowing review. From the moment we walked into this charming Knightsbridge gem, the warm ambiance and attentive staff set the tone for a truly special evening. Our server, Shampa, was an absolute standout. Her warmth, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm made the night feel extra special. She went above and beyond to ensure my wife’s birthday was celebrated in style, surprising us with thoughtful touches that added a personal flair to the evening. Shampa’s recommendations were spot-on, and her attentiveness never felt intrusive—just the perfect balance of care and charm. The food was exceptional, with a menu that beautifully showcases classic Italian cuisine with a refined touch. A particular highlight was their gluten-free pasta and options, which were a godsend for my wife, who has dietary restrictions. The gluten-free dishes were just as delicious and well-executed as the rest of the menu, proving that Sale e Pepe caters to all diners without compromising on quality or flavor. Every bite, from the perfectly al dente pasta to the rich, flavorful sauces, was a testament to the kitchen’s skill and dedication. The atmosphere was lively yet intimate, making it the ideal setting for a special occasion. The attention to detail, from the elegant decor to the impeccable service, elevated the entire experience. Sale e Pepe is a must-visit for anyone seeking authentic Italian cuisine with heart and soul. Thank you, Shampa, and the entire team, for making my wife’s birthday so memorable—we can’t wait to return!
