About

For, now, over 50 years Italian restaurant Sale e Pepe has stood in its iconic location in Knightsbridge, loved by locals, out-of-towners and the press, with Vanity Fairy describing it as "perfection". Since 1974, the restaurant has hosted everyone from royalty and Hollywood stars, to rock and rollers and politicians. To celebrate its recent milestone, the place has undergone a glitzy renovation which sees the interiors updated with a sleek, deep grey dining room, alongside a statement, marble bar and a whole new menu. 

The menu follows a typically Italian format and is designed for sharing, 'famiglia' style. It holds dear the Mediterranean sensibilities of simple recipes and fresh, seasonal ingredients, always with a focus on high-quality produce. First up, start off with some antipasti such as grilled langoustines, alongside Burrata La Latteria with Datterini tomatoes. If crudo is more your thing, try the Oscietra Royal Caviar blinis, topped with crème fraîche or Mediterranean bluefin tuna tartare with avocado and Pimiento de Espelette.

For mains, you can't go wrong with the catch of the day at market price or signatures like bone-in pan-fried veal chop, or grilled herb-marinated rack of Welsh lamb. Of course, there's always pasta, so tuck in the likes of ravioli with spinach, ricotta, San Marzano tomatoes and basil, or tortellini with pumpkin, sage and pea purée. From skin-on fries to sautéed broccolini with roasted garlic, the sides sound great, too.

Finally, you can't leave without indulging in a dessert, so how does a classic mille feuille or homemade tiramisu sound? The wine list focuses on Italy but offers glasses and bottles from both the North and South, while the cocktail menu showcases a mix of classics as well as the more experimental, like the Cafe Shakerato with Grey Goose Vodka, Averna, espresso and Borghetti Coffee Liqueur

I LOST MY JOB

I lost my job and there was no way to get income for my family, things was so tough and I couldn’t get anything for my children, not until a met a recommendation on a page writing how Mr Bernie Doran helped a lady in getting a huge amount of profit every 6 working days on trading with his management on the cryptocurrency Market, to be honest I was skeptical at first but I took the risk to take a loan of $500, and I contacted him unbelievable and I was so happy I received a profit of  $5,500 with an investment of $500 within 7 days of trading , the most joy is that I can now take care of my family, i am just sharing my testimony on here. I don’t know how to appreciate your good work Mr. Bernie Doran, God will continue to bless you for being a life saver I have no way to appreciate you than to tell people about your good services. He can also help you recover your lost funds, For a perfect investment and good return on investment contact him on Gmail : Berniedoransignals@ gmail. com   or his whatsApp + 1 ( 424 ) 285 – 0682

Delightful Italian restaurant tucked away at the junction of Pavilion Road and Basil Street a short walk from Harrods.

Making a reservation is recommended - the place is highly popular, and rightly so. Delicious food, splendid wines and very alert and friendly service. Why not five stars then? Because of prices, which are a bit high, and because the restaurant is always really crowded and not too big, so you are sitting close to your neighbours' tables. But everything else is great, and I think we will visit the place again.

Sale e Pepe - expensive for ordinary Italian food
Sale e Pepe has not changed for years. Its busy and the waiters work hard to make two sittings which makes it feel rushed and mechanical. The difference between a 3 star and 5 star for the food is dependent on what you order. The restaurant seems popular with young tourist which can add to the chaos.

Three words: Classic. Friendly. Dependable. Sale e Pepe is a cross-generational Italian which has gone from strength to strength. Every time I go, I think they must have eased up, but no, they carry on delivering on all levels. The food is “real” italian, very well executed and the wine list is surprisingly accessible for this part of town. Let's be clear: the restaurant has been aided over the decades (yes, it must be close to 30 years…!) but this kind of ultra-long-term success doesn't come coincidentially. Mille Grazie!

Sale e Pepe is a delightful restaurant and I fully enjoyed myself. Not only were all the staff very welcoming and helpful but the food was delicious. The wine was also superb. The steak was cooked to perfection, and the desert was luscious. I would gladly recommend Sale e Pepe to anyone who wishes to have a pleasant evening. Sale e Pepe is a place I would gladly dine at again!
