Sale e Pepe in Kensington and Chelsea

Where to start… although we booked a table, it took them a while to get our table done. Then we had to ask them to come and take our order because were waiting for so long!!! Food took a while to arrive and arrived too salty to be eaten 😖, waiters shouted to each other all the time in the middle of restaurant which made the noise worse. When we went to pay the bill we had the rudest waiter ever! After I asked not to pay for the optional %12.5 service charge he said “so all our work is nothing” and I said i just prefer to only pay for this (what I ordered) so he said I want to know, then I explained to him and he didn’t let me continue and interrupted me with silly excuses and rude manners ! I told him I don’t want to argue and he continued interrupting me so I said if you asked then you have to listen to the answer but he just continued to be rude and interrupted me.I’ve never seen someone argues and be rude after a customer complained about having an awful service!With or without your awful service, I don’t need to pay for service. It’s optional, up to costumers so take it easy and FIX YOUR MANNERS.

By far the best Italian restaurant in london!!! Whoever tells you otherwise has no idea what they’re talking about. Atmosphere 10/10. Staff 10/10. Food, now don’t get me started I’m in heaven. So much love for this place will be coming very often!! Grazieeee ♥️♥️♥️

Well where to start..crowded and uncomfortable (we were 3 diners squeezed into a corner on a tiny table hardly big enough for 2)The food is at best mediocre and overly salted to the max. Most shocking was the cover charge per person (£6 each) sneakily added to the bill in addition to the service charge. (can't have it both ways sal e pepe) Then there's the charge for the bread that they place in front of you. Can't believe any restaurant still does this. Overall it's like a typical tourist trap restaurant and is definitely trading on past glory. AVOID

A cozy traditional Italian restaurant. It's crowded most of the time, but I've been and always will love to have a meal there no matter what.

Mixed feelings about this place.Are we still doing cover charges in 2021?It’s always disappointing when a restaurant advertises a great looking set menu on their website but when you arrive it’s not available…Service was nice. At some points we felt a little rushed.The restaurant itself feels like a traditional Italian that you’d find on Capri. It was quaint but if full you’d practically be eating on top of other customers.The chef definitely likes salt - the bread we were served wasn’t good. Stodgy and very salty.The carpaccio was nice; a sold portion with ample parmesan but again a lot of salt.The mushroom risotto was delicious and cooked to perfection.Skipped out on dessert but they looked decent.

Great food and atmosphere- but boy o boy they cram you in like sardines. We were put in a tight corner and there was no way to get out and go to the bathroom without making other people get out of their chairs. Was like sitting in the window seat of airplane...of an airline with great food thoPart of the charm maybe

We had dinner here couple of weeks ago. The food wasn't good enough, very salty and undercooked. We had to ask the chef to re-cook our pastas. Dessert was disappointing. Didn’t enjoy our meals. :(

One of the best Italian restaurants. Fried Calamari is so fresh and tasty. We tried the black truffle pasta and it was ma ma meyaa 👌 Dessert was good but not exceeding the expectations as the starters and main dishes. So friendly staff and nice environment

Most delightful Italian run place. Tasty olives bread burrata and arrabiata. Lemon tart was slightly eggy

An absolutely wonderful restaurant, the food is magnificent especially the Dover sole, cooked to perfection. The waiters are extremely attentive and detailed in their explanation of the dishes and how they are prepared. I can’t fault this place, the ambience and all round an enjoyable night out.
