Sparrow Italia

Upscale Italian dining experience, great wine selection, beautifully crafted cocktails, elegant setting and delicious food. Also features a cigar lounge with a small selection of cigars but they do carry the good ones. Definitely recommend!

Walked in on a Monday at around 2:45pm. We had the caviar, oysters & tuna tartare. Then we had the lobster pasta, ravioli I believe with bone marrow & vodka pasta - all round excellent. Whilst the portion size is on the smaller scale, the food boasts quality over quantity. Overall, the food was exceptional & service was smooth. Room for improvement: - Quality of Earl Grey tea was weak. - Improve the look of the terrace area with some decor and improve the ambience (see 3rd photo). - Toilets were too dark - Additional lighting on the staircase going to terrace

Very nice Italian food! If only thing I didn’t quite like is the tiramisu, it’s the dry style. But overall great experience, attentive staff and very posh atmosphere.

Very beautiful and cozy atmosphere. The staff was extremely attentive. Refined and incredibly flavorful Mediterranean cuisine. A clear 5 out of 5 for me. Unfortunately, not ideal for a small budget. Booking in advance is recommended.

If you’re looking for a dining experience that combines a warm, welcoming atmosphere with impeccable service, this restaurant is a must-visit. The ambiance effortlessly captures the essence of European dining, offering a chic yet relaxed environment that honors the rich traditions of Italian table culture.

The service is nothing short of outstanding—attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly, with a staff that makes you feel like a valued guest from the moment you arrive. As for the food, the expansive menu is a celebration of Italian and Mediterranean classics with a modern twist. From the handcrafted pastas to the rustic wood-fired pizzas, every dish showcases bold, innovative flavors using the finest sustainable and organic ingredients. It’s clear that every meal is crafted with care and precision, making this restaurant a true gem for lovers of fine cuisine.

Sparrow is hands down one of my favourite restaurants in London. I absolutely loved the vibe, the ambiance is chic and intimate, making it such a standout dining experience. I’ve been to their Miami location as well, which was great, but the London one has my heart. It feels more intimate, cozy, and charming in the best way. The food was incredible — the Pane al Tartufo (grilled focaccia with truffle ricotta, honey, and truffle) and the Pistachio Pesto spaghetti were both stand outs for me, I’m still thinking about both dishes. Can’t wait to go back and try even more from the menu. Such a memorable dinner, easily a top spot in London for me!

Dined on the terrace for lunch on a Saturday and it was 10/10. The vodka rigatoni was incredible, their focaccia was some of the best I’ve had before, the wine list was great, the view / terrace itself was beautiful albeit we were lucky with some shade as it was extremely hot and Fran the waitress was incredible. A new favourite, and one I will definitely be recommending to all!

Sparrow Italia delivers a solid Italian-American dining experience, with standout dishes like the meatballs with ricotta and Mickey’s rigatoni. The ambiance, especially on the ground floor and bar area, is undeniably inviting. Service is engaged and attentive, adding to the overall experience. However, the pricing is difficult to justify. With pasta portions that fall short of true “sharing” size and costs that are nearly double those of other quality central Italian restaurants (e.g., Bocco di Lupo), value for money is a major concern—£41 for a plate of cacio e pepe (!) feels particularly steep. While the food and atmosphere impress, the excessive prices make it hard to warrant a return visit.

Great food and service. Very nice atmosphere. Food well prepared and good quantity. Staff very attentive to customers,

Located in a quaint narrow road in Mayfair, Sparrow Italia was as delicious as it is posh . There are three stories, but we opted to eat in the bar area, We ordered cocktails and food, and each dish was prepared perfectly. The chopped salad offered a well blended mix of spicy, tart and savory. My rigatoni plate was a smooth, creamy tomato sauce, my daughter commented her cacio e pepe rigatoni was yummy, and my hubby loved his monkfish dish. Everything was very nice, and staff quite friendly! Beautiful decor and furnishings, would be a good spot for a date, business dinner or outing with friends!

The food was amazing but the service was less than ideal. The staff treated us as if we were not good enough to dine at their establishment, while we watched them be incredibly accommodating to a birthday celebration for a young girl. We did not skimp on our order either - a nice bottle of wine, appetizer, main courses and a dessert. Perhaps the other party was comprised of locals - and we were simply tourists. Still, I was stunned at the lack of interest in our party.

This place is the fanciest restaurant I have ever been to! My dad took here for my 19th birthday and they really went all out. The place is so cute, service is outstanding and the speciality cocktails are to die for I highly recommend

I would like to give the 3E Excellent Food Excellent service Excellent atmosphere Good job Sparrow

Such a fantastic experience. We visited London for my daughter's birthday and went to dinner at Sparrow. We had a drink at the bar beforehand and casually mentioned to the bartender that it was her birthday. The staff went out of their way to make it a special night. I'm definitely coming back.

I would give this restaurant 6 stars if I could! AMAZING restaurant in the Mayfair neighborhood of London. Made reservations while there on a girls trip and can't say enough great things about this place. Fine dining with exceptional service and even better cocktails! A must while in London!

After a full morning of shopping, I stumbled into this little gem tucked away in the small alley in Mayfair. Walking in I thought I was a little bit under dressed, but we were treated absolutely like royalty and we're seated very quickly. I couldn't resist so I ordered a cocktail, and I was surprised on how delicious it was, considering I tried several cocktails while in London, and nothing came close to the one I had a sparrow, we ordered pasta and it was absolutely perfect. The food was outstanding . The ambiance was wonderful. The music was great. It felt very glamorous. I definitely wanted to come back for dinner but I didn't have time but I recommend this place as a dinner experience because of how glamorous and beautiful it is. I walked away wanting more. For Italian it definitely rates an 11! Make the reservation and go!

London. Great views and interesting looking people. However, this restaurant was not a great experience. I came here with my friend the other day and the staff were SUPER rude. Unpleasant faces greeting you at the door and the judgment is off the charts. In particular, the hostess with curly red hair had a very unclassy dress and trashy leather boots. She looked us up and down and then let us in; automatically didn't feel welcomed. Moreover, the other male host was also severely unwelcoming and his hair was unkempt and looked wild. As for the food, it was very mediocre, especially the pistachio pesto pasta. It was stale and tasted rubbery and definitely not al dente. I would definitely give this place a one star if I could, however, the redeeming points were our waiter who was super kind. If I were you, next time visiting London be sure to avoid this treacherous place.

Stunning restaurant in Mayfair. 2 beautiful dining areas and a gorgeous ground floor bar with more lounge style dining. Food is fantastic and cocktails are delicious and an experience! Lovely staff as well!

What a great experience! The space is absolutely gorgeous with food to match! Was in town for work and stumbled across this beauty in Mayfair! I never thought I enjoyed gin until I had the Abruzzo cocktail! Just wow all around!

Absolutely amazing! One of the best meals we have had and the service was amazing. Tuna Tartare, Espresso Martini, Molise, Octopus, and Arancini were amazing! A must go to when in London!
