"Whether the name of this glitzy Knightsbridge institution made us want to adopt an Italian greyhound and call it Signor Sassi is between us and the Dogs Trust. Its winning name is written out on its blue-wall exterior next to ‘Ristorante Italiano’ in that leaning serif font that’s the hallmark of a calamari-serving classic. And inside there are photographs of suited celebrity visitors who have stopped by over the years. It’s a proper scene and we like this place best for long weekend lunches involving creamy ravioli and the unmissable tiramisu." - jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak

"With a high potential of spotting famous TV personalities and a menu with at least four black truffle dishes, Signor Sassi is a bit of a scene. Although the buzzy energy at this Knightsbridge Italian spot is part of what makes it fun, the pastas are really great too. Long lunches involve incredibly creamy ravioli, stuffed with an airy ricotta and spinach mix that’s strictly a one-person portion. Make sure to scour the walls for photographs of famous faces while you wait for your crab tagliolini—which is one of our favourite dishes here. " - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna

"With a high potential of spotting famous TV personalities—or at least someone with a slight resemblance who you’ll excitedly stare at for the entire evening—and a menu with at least four black truffle dishes, Signor Sassi is a scene. Although the energy is part of what makes this place fun, the food is really great too. Our favourite time to visit this big-name Italian institution in Knightsbridge is mid-afternoon on a Sunday. Long lunches involve incredibly creamy ravioli and the celebratory sound of glasses clinking at any given time. Tiramisu is non-negotiable and you should always make sure to scour the walls for photographs of famous faces while you wait for your crab tagliolini. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch" - Rianne Shlebak

We found this place walking the streets around Harrods!!! By looking at the pictures on the walls, I know that there are many famous people that have come in dined here, But that was not precisely my appeal.The food is really 👍 the service was GREAT and we had such a lovely time We booked it to celebrate the graduation of my son! The presentation of their plates is top-notch! This is a wonderful discovery for us...I highly recommend 👌 if you want some good food.

After years of curiosity, I finally tried Signor Sassi, especially after hearing it was a favorite of Dubai’s former ruler. It definitely lived up to the hype. The place has a great vibe, the staff were super friendly and made the experience even better. And the food? Absolutely delicious. Authentic Italian dishes, presented beautifully.

Stunning Decor World class service Exceptional food Stunning drinks One of the most beautiful places and ambience in London for an authentic, fresh Italian dining experience. Perhaps the best Parmigiana di Melanzane we have ever had. So nice, we had to order another! Faultless service! Only downside is the dishes and pizzas are very small!

Been a regular for 30 years and it never fails to deliver. Owner changed, managers keep changing but they continue to deliver. Exceptional service this time by Martin, the two Stefanos and the ever so present newly appointed GM, Marco. Well done.

A very decent restaurant in experiencing quality food. From the olives, bread, antipasti, to mains, all superb. Tasty and come with nice presentation, carbonara was exceptional! Is a restaurant not quite Italian but a collection of French, Spanish and Italy! This is the best restaurant I visited for the trip this time in London, September 2024.

I love Italian food and look forward to every trip to the country because of its cuisine. I'd heard a lot about this restaurant but was unfortunately not impressed by their food at all. We ordered veal escalope, ossobuco, paccheri bolognese, truffled mashed potatoes. The escalope was quite tasteless and unseasoned but I almost expected that. The mashed potatoes had almost zero salt or seasoning, and were almost too heavily truffled (I used to think there was no such thing because I love truffle). The pasta was just ok - it was the most basic flavours, barely acceptable from a local trattoria, but not from an upscale restaurant at Knightsbridge. The piece de resistance was meant to be the ossobuco but neither the risotto, nor the veal and sauce tasted great. It's strange to say that even the marrow was a bit tasteless. The service was attentive - and they very kindly surprised me with a small bowl of ice-cream with a candle and sang happy birthday to me (my friend had booked this as a special occasion, hence they knew). The prices are very indicative of the location, and I'd honestly not find them unfair, if the food tasted good. Unfortunately, it did not, which made the prices feel inflated. I don't think I'll be returning.

Good location, classic dining environment. Food I ordered was not surprising. Can pay a visit if you happen to be around, not worth to travel far just to eat here. A good restaurant but not extraordinary.

We decided to go here after my husband visited the Signor Sassi in Saudi. Great place but room for improvement. One thing I noticed was that majority of the waiters and staff needed to smile more. Food was okay. Meats are halal which is a positive. I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo which was very bland, however my husband ordered the beef rags which exceeded our expectations. Tiramisu was divine, not too sweet. When it came to paying, they said they accepted AMEX, however their cards machines weren’t cooperating. Not sure what they do if someone only has AMEX on them. Nonetheless, I’d go back but would order something different!
