If you are into your food, like me, you'll love this place. Four of us went for a 60th birthday celebration lunch and everyone loved all their dishes. In fact, everyone said they made the best choice! They food was so delicious and cooked to perfection. Also, the portion sizes were generous! I have to mention the service which was excellent. The staff made sure everything was perfect for the celebration without being overbearing. Thank you to all the team for making our 60th birthday lunch such a memorable experience.

Unfortunately we did not have a positive experience. Three of the six appetizers on the menu were unavailable as were the first two bottles of wine we tried to order. Service was inattentive and very frosty…it seemed as though we were bothering them, especially the man you took the wine order! No one checked to see if everything was OK. My lobster pasta was served cold and was very watery. No parmesan was offered. The spaghetti carbonara was too salty and my husband’s beef fillet dish was overcooked and tough. Frankly I could have saved myself the £700 for our group and eaten better Italian food just about anywhere. Overpriced and quite frankly very disappointing.

I have been here twice for a relaxed business lunch during the week and on both occasions had an excellent experience. So I took my wife and some friends for dinner on Saturday evening, having told them how much I liked the place. The good news is that the food and wine were as amazing as I remember - I had the rock bass and beans, there were various pasta dishes and my wife and friend had the veal - all were utterly delicious. The Sicilian sommelier knew his stuff and chose us two fantastic wines. The bad news was pretty much everything else. We arrived to find our friends already sipping drinks in the bar area and I called the bar server guy over and attempted to order two Aperol spritz and a Laphroig whisky for me with no ice and water on the side. The guy had trouble understanding but after I literally pointed out the drinks on the menu he disappeared and asked the barman. He reappeared with one Aperol Spritz and two whiskys, both with ice, and two glasses of water. He also had a terrible BO problem One of the waiters who served us our food seemed to know what he was doing but the other had no clue and put the wrong dishes in front of the wrong people Whilst we had a good time amongst ourselves, the place was very quiet indeed - perhaps 30 people in the whole restaurant - and there was no atmosphere at all Given that the bill was over £100 a head, I expect service to be decent. I have had better service in MacDonalds. I don't see why the appear to be hiring trainees or people with little/ no experience - surely an upmarket restaurant should be employing experienced people - and ones that speak English and know how to bathe Given the quality of the food, I will return, but probably at lunchtime, when they appear to have the A team working

I booked this restaurant after enjoying Francesco Mazzei is food at Corinthia in Malta, and seeing Stanley Tucci also recommend it - I was quite excited. We ordered starters and mains, which were quite good (plating could have been better for the quality you go for...but this was on the servers and not the chefs). The dessert however was disappointing - we ordered a lemon sorbet and a Tiramisu. The tiramisu Francesco makes in Malta is delicious, so this was a dish we looked forward to...however this one was right from the fridge (very cold)...and practically a bunch of cream used - the type you get when you spray it....tiramisu has mascarpone however this had none of that - was barely edible. The lemon sorbet is supposed to be a typical Sicilian creamy sorbet, however this had the majority filled with ice flakes and just not creamy at all. When it comes to the service - this was the most disappointing - starting with basics, we ordered one bottle of water...they decided to just open another and start pouring it, where we had to tell them we didn't request another...they just made the assumption we wanted more even though all our glasses were full. A negroni sbagliato was also ordered, which they confirmed they can do....was a negroni but definitely not a sbagliato (no prosecco added). A room temperature ginger ale was ordered, confirmed they have non cold bottles available...served it and was very cold, when questioned on their previous confirmation, the server stated that is the room temperature they have. Regarding the pasta, two carbonara and one Cacio Pepe was ordered...the Cacio Pepe was very good....carbonara too, however presentation - you get the pasta rolled up with an egg yolk in the centre - one came presented that way...the other the pasta was all over the plate with the yolk broken on the side (apparently the server did that accidentally according to them - which is fine...but also presentation is key in such a restaurant). There was also an issue with the waiters understanding of English, which surprised us...even when requesting basics such as ice cream/sorbet flavours...they described another dessert, and I had to ask about two more times until they understood and I got told the flavours available. Also basic things such as the menus being taped together or with biro marks on them...this restaurant is classy and in a nice area, the upkeep however was lacking. Overall, service was not too good, the restaurant is nicely decorated, the savoury dishes tasted good, and the dessert I do not recommend. Unfortunately not a place I would return to or recommend.

Unfortunately this was not a good experience for me. Out water was a bit timid. He did not go over the menu. The atmosphere was dark and the restaurant was not busy. The menu was hard to read as the font was very small. I had to use the light on my phone to read it. I was not happy with the food. The salad was bland and the meat dry. The wine was the only thing that was good. I would not return to this restaurant.

Elegimos este restaurante para nuestro almuerzo anual de Nochebuena, fue nuestra primera visita aquí, pero de ninguna manera será la última. Nos encantó todo sobre este lugar. Me encontré con un saludo cálido y relajado y me ofrecí a ir a la mesa o tomar una copa en la zona del bar muy bonita - elegí este último mientras esperaba a mis invitados. El menú de bebidas ofrece una emocionante gama de Negronis y me impresionó la recomendación. El comedor en sí es muy agradable, las mesas están muy bien espaciadas y el ambiente era frío. El servicio fue de primera, un camarero muy amable y atento que estaba bien informado sobre el menú. La comida era divina - muy buena calidad, tamaños de porción perfectos y presentación muy atractiva. No suelo comer postre, pero todos nos decidimos por el tiramisú, tan delicioso. No puedo recomendar este restaurante lo suficientemente alto, escondido del ajetreo de Oxford y Regent Street - un santuario de la delicia.

Pretentious and over priced but food quality was terrible. The presentation of the pastas we ordered was not appealing at all. Remember! You eat with your eyes first…. Dessert - vanilla ice cream was icey, which tells me that it has melted and refrozen! The ice cream was also tasteless. For a so called Italian restaurant, the coffee was shocking. I ordered a simple macchiato and it was more of a short black with boiling milk! Frankly, this place is not worth the penny, let alone the pounds they charge!

Guys DONT go sartoria for dietary requirements 🙏🙏🙏 at the start of the meal I said I don’t eat meat and my mum ordered a scallop and then I found out the scallop (fish) had pork in it?!?!? Like who in the right mind mixes them together like imagine if you’re Muslim and you eat fish thinking it’s halal and then they’re pork in it?!?!? Anyways at the start of the meal I asked if I would be able to get the carbonara without the bacon as some places make it on comand and some reheat, the man came back and said that they can do it without bacon and made it VERY clear to the chef that there should be no bacon. I recieved my food WITH BACON ON IT and he waiter said well the sticker said no bacon WELL THERE WAS BACON anyways I got free food 😝😝😝 no hate to the waiter he was an absolute star just miscommunication

The food was excellent, when it arrived, (drinks arrived about 10 mins after starter, and side arrived aboutb10 mins after main courses) the building and environment is wonderful but the service was atrocious, poorest I have witnessed in along time across numerous different restaurants. From the rudeness and complete indifference of the hostess, to the poor waiters and food service, to the dirty table cloth and nontable setting, it was extremely disappointing. The only bright spot was the sommelier who almost singlehandedly kept the show another road. For a customer facing business, which presumably relies heavily on high quality customer service, the deficit was vast. And then to be charged service charge (which i refused to pay), and the total surprise as to why I refused to pay for service, remarkable Terribly disappointing as the reputation had preceded our visit and the service just ruined the evening

We were big fans of this restaurant coming to London. We made a reservation for four people 9pm this past Saturday the 7th of December 2024…. we came The bar was completely empty with no bartenders. We were barely greeted and then seated at the very beautiful table. We sat there for about 10 minutes and finally a non-speaking english waiter came to ask us if we were ready to order our food, jokingly I said I guess we’re not having drinks tonight and there is no specials. I guess….We were never explain the menu, maybe any specials nor asked for a drink/cocktail…..I immediately asked to speak to the manager, I was very friendly, but he was not, I asked him what is going on here, we were looking forward for a nice evening here tonight, I asked….Is this the bus boy that will be handling our evening tonight he does not even speak English. What is going on here? He did not apologize. His response was simply “he is a waiter in training” A waiter in training I replied to him how could he be a waiter in training he barely speaks any English is this some kind of joke! I was little surprise how GM didn’t try to make things better kinda like he didn’t care so we all got up and we left the restaurant! This hostess/general manager, really didn’t seem to care So we proceeded to got up with my party and we left and went back to Berkeley hotel to enjoy an amazing Meal at the ABC restaurant in our hotel. Very very disappointed probably the worst restaurant I went to in the week I spent in Paris and London. Stanley Tucci, the food might be very, very good here, but the staff sucks!

The staff were positively lovely but unfortunately, the food falls far short of wowing and considering that, the price you pay for it is somewhat extortionate.

I recommend Core, Hélène Darroze, Pétrus, and Claude Bosi, to name a couple of options.

Service was very slow, it took over 30 minutes to get a drink every time we ordered one. When the waiter brought over our third round of drinks I asked if he could go ahead and order the next one since the wait time was so long, he made it seem like I was weird for doing that. His overall service wasn’t great either. The food was mediocre at best. I had the venison rague, it was extremely dry and bland. My partner had the carbonara, it was way over salted and only tasted of salt. The best thing we had was the gelato.

I admit it, I'm shallow. I saw Stanley Tucci's segment on London where he visited this restaurant. It looked interesting and he was so enthusiastic. I agree with one of the recent reviews, he must have been paid to include it in his series. Given his reputation as a foodie and an Italian-food lover, I can't believe that he would have eaten at the restaurant I experienced more than once. To the restaurant's credit, it is a beautiful space. That's were the credit ends. After we were seated it took at least 15 minutes for someone to come by and ask us about water or a cocktail. And there was the first sign of a significant problem. You shouldn't have to wait for water or cocktails -- espescially when the place was clearly not fully booked. It suggests they've lost the thread. The next problem to emerge was that I think we saw at least five different staff people come by the table (in the beginning at least). No one clearly identified themselves as the lead waiter in this mass -- though I assumed it was the guy in the suite and tie. With the exception of the young man who brushed the crumbs off the table, everyone else was completely indifferent and seemed to be wondering around the restaurant trying to avoid waiting on our table. The food itself, while expensive, was mediocre, indifferent or not very good. Some examples: my wife had a salad that looked like a model for a Frank Gehry building but it was difficult (like the inclusion a large radish that you had to saw through) to eat. It looked great but difficult to figure out what was going on or why it was presented more as a sculpture than a food item. When we got to mains, however, the disappointment was significant. I had a veal ragu which was far more sauce than pasta. It was fine, but there was no attempt by the kitchen to balance out the serving so I shortly had a significant bowl of just sauce. My wife had their tagline cacio e pepe with truffle. Oy. The pasta was sitting in a puddle of liquid. The truffle was negligible -- though not the price of adding in the so-called truffle. It was also gloopy. We have visited Rome many times and eaten cacio e pepe all over the city and have never had it served this way -- i.e. sitting in a pool of liquid or gloopy. Beware of a Italian restaurant that can't even fake a good cacio e pepe. Finally, all of this was very, very slow. Did I mention the service was indifferent? I can't write about desert because after 20 minutes from when they cleaned away the dinner dishes and gave us a desert menu where the waiters (none of the five) visited our table, we decided to get the check and check-out. Frustrated and disappointed... poorer for price and experience but wiser about not buying into the hype. We visit London frequently. There are very good Italian restaurants to be found -- both traditional and innovative. This was just confused and disappointing and time consuming (time wasted I will not get back). Some of the reviews say they seem to have changed management. I don't know this being a first experience, but it certainly will be our last.

Lunch there yesterday. Two of us arrived at 12:20, and at 12.30 both ordered the vitello tonnato which came quickly and was excellent. The second course of cauliflower steak sprinkled with black truffle, arrived at 1:25 nearly an hour later, we having complained about the delay twice. Clearly the order had been forgotten especially as the next table received their main course before us although they arrived after us. When it did arrive it was pretty tasteless Although the vegetable was well cooked, The saucing lacked flavour and the truffle lacked any real flavour which made us think that the truffle was not new or fresh. Or perhaps truffles are not flavoursome this year? Either way the dish disappointed. We were "compensated" by a sorbet and a removal of the service charge. A truly poor experience.

Unfortunately the quality of both food and service is not what it used to be. The octopus was chewy, the tagliata was supposed to be medium rare and it was well done (good meat but at £47 you would expect they get it right). Tagliolini were ok but no lemon could be tasted. The service was poor and they charge 14.5%. Starters arrived way before drinks and we had to remind them about the drinks. No attention and icing on the cake was a glass of white wine instead of Chianti. For that service charge you need to be good. Be aware that they add £1 for an undisclosed charity. We used to like it but yesterday was the last time we visited.

A truly excellent and first class experience. The staff are attentive without being over familiar, the wine list extensive and the food, from a short but perfectly balanced and well prepared menu, outstanding. We shall be back!

Great food and a nice environment. The service was slow, not because there weren't enough staff, but because most didn't seem to know what they were doing. They also forget one of the mains!

Had a wonderful dinner here with family. The steak was cooked perfectly, the cacio e pepe is a must order item, and the desserts were incredible. The lemon sorbet really stood out, and we learned from the manager that it is made on site. Very friendly staff and a wonderful atmosphere. The roasted potato side was probably the only thing they could have improved on. I felt they were overly salty, however I presume some folks might prefer them that way. The vegetarian in our group loved the cauliflower “steak.” Would definitely go back. Perfect for a date, after work drinks/meal with colleagues, or dinner with family.

A truly excellent discovery in London, a place where you can eat really good Italian cuisine with a modern twist, worth trying if you pass by here. Reservations are recommended as it is always full, a very elegant venue and an excellent selection of cocktails.

We had drinks first at the bar and then moved to the restaurant for dinner. Good service and good food but the main portion was a bit small.

Sartoria is one of the few restaurants in the West End which serves great food, has excellent waiting staff and where the tables are well spaced so that it is possible for a conversation is not overheard by diners immediately adjacent.

Invited by our best friend in London and celebrating my birthday there! It was a wonderful night as the atmosphere is amazing with the dimmed lights set up and you can feel relax all the time there, the staff is very friendly and welcoming. We have our starters with peper (E pepe) spaghetti , zucchini flowers and also a very nice mocktail. For the main dishes we chosen stone bass which is my favourite and also the lamb looks good 😊!! Overall the desserts were delicious we shared to try many different gelato and ice cream. I ordered tartufo di pizzo shown in the photo with full of cocoa power and I can say this is my first time to have a dessert presented in a secret wrapping paper 🧚🏻‍♂️🫶🏻amazing. sicuramente un ristorante da non perdere🥳🥰Grazie chef

We lived in Italy for 2 years, and were happy to have a taste of Italy in London. Sartoria elevated traditional Italian cuisine to a fine dining experience through careful attention to detail, quality ingredients and impeccable service. The atmosphere was lovely. Highly recommend. Bravo!

This restaurant is lovely. We started off with a drink in the bar, which was very welcoming. We hung out for longer than we expected as was such a relaxed atmosphere. Moved the restaurant which again was a relaxing atmosphere. The food was very scrummy. The chicken was the winning dish, closely followed by the amaretto tiramisu. I'll definitely try to go back here.

Food and service were first class. I generally find the UK to have poor service so the attentiveness of the staff and speed of service was very welcome. The food pricing was decent valie for the high quality that it was. Portions were well sized as well. Would def return. Pls keep up the good service!!

The wait staff seemed nice but not quite attentive. I feel like the restaurant was down a server. The wait for the entree was long. I don’t feel we were alone in the experience as several other tables were looking around for their dishes. I ordered a dirty martini but I don’t think it was make with olive juice. It tasted like sake and instead of remaking it, the server said he spoke with the bartender who assured him it was a Dirty Martini. But later the server confessed that they didn’t know what a dirty martini was !?! I decided to press on so as not to put a damper on the experience but couldn’t finish it. The desserts were good but we won’t be back

A Memorable Dining Experience at Sartoria Had an amazing dinner at Sartoria! The cicchetti were incredibly tasty, and the handmade pasta was cooked to perfection. Special thanks to Faruk for his outstanding service—attentive, knowledgeable, and made our evening even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Little disappointed, the Prosecco was overpriced at £68 per bottle, the starter of squid was harder than a school eraser and was bad. Plus we were made to pay 14.5% for service, which quite frankly was not that good. Would not go back paid too much for average food and service. Really not worth a visit.

Brilliant restaurant and inspired meals served with gusto great hospitality, genuine kindness, and admirable efficiency. The Cornwall crab pasta was incredible and the goat cheese tasted like no other, but in all fairness, everything was amazing.
