About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Good for business meals
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.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Sale e Pepe offers a mix of tradition and contemporary flair, with some patrons noting "a perfect restaurant" and "amazing service." While the decor has shifted under new management, standout dishes like lobster tagliatelle and attentive service from staff, particularly Elisa, remain highlights. However, some find it pricey and the ambiance noisy.

    One of the best meals I have eaten. Staff from the greeter to the owner were so fun and made the whole evening so enjoyable. Put it in your "must do" list for London.

    An overpriced underwhelming Italian that was once a Knightsbridge icon. Used to be a buzzy good value Italian serving great traditional dishes…no longer, modern, soulless & the staff reflect this with half hearted customer service. I will not be visiting again.

    Excellent lunch on Easter Sunday, asparagus hollandaise, tuna and avocado starters, both great. Mains of tagliatelle with lobster and chicken escalopes, both dishes were excellent as were the Tiramisu and affogato. Highly recommend. Fab lunch
