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.

We took cacio e pepe, the lamb chops et vongole and it was very good. However, we’re very surprised because the Caesar salad (serving 2) is served without any chicken (you have to add a supplement) and, even though the maitre d’ makes the salad in front of you, it’s mainly lettuce and anchovies … for £30 !! The rest is very good but my advice is don’t take this one

The only drawbacks to the restaurant are somewhat cramped quarters and a high noise level. But the food is so good. Highly recommend

We had an absolutely amazing evening at Sale e Pepe! From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding. Elisa, our host, was simply the best – her professionalism and warmth made our dinner truly special. She went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful experience, seamlessly blending friendliness with exceptional attention to detail. The ambiance was charming, and every dish was cooked to perfection, making the night unforgettable. If you're looking for a place where excellent food meets impeccable service, look no further than Sale e Pepe. Thank you, Elisa, for making our evening so memorable – we can't wait to come back!

I was very disappointed because I really like the food and my mother was visiting me and I took her to see the restaurant for the first time. We arrived and it was a mess. The table wasn't ready, the receptionists were grumpy. There wasn't even room to store the coats anymore

Restaurant is small with extremely close tables giving a cramped feeling. Server was aloof and unwelcoming. Starters (antipasti) were very good, pasta dishes were of average quality for a specialty Italian restaurant, desserts were predictable and uninspired. Wine list is very good. After 2 hours at the table (our party was 6) and our bill was over $1000, the server came to the table and told us we had to leave immediately as we had overstayed our table time limit. We were not aware of a time limit. The manager stood by this treatment saying we were wrong to have stayed that long. We will not return.

VERY DISAPPOINTED! Everything was going great until I received my main dish. Ordered Lobster Risotto for about £50 and there was no lobster. The entire dish was just the rice, tomatoes and asparagus. Very disappointed I just paid the bill and left.

Restaurant que ofrece mucho más de lo que da, somos una pareja italiana y esperábamos otra cosa. La comida de calidad media, el local muy bullicioso. El servicio hubiera sido un desastre sino hubiera intervenido Elisa Intili que nos atendió maravillosamente y salvó la noche. Resumiendo, costoso para lo que da.
