Signor Sassi

I love to eat out, and we frequently dine at Signor Sassi in Knightsbridge. The service is always impeccable and the food is delicious, at a great price. Whilst dining there I have seen many a famous face, including Sven Goran Erikson, lots of Hollyoaks members and most recently Tom Jones. I recommend booking a table, as it gets busy, but you rarely have to wait over 10 minutes for your meal after ordering, and it’s always a lovely evening, or lunch, out. Highly recommended.

I was extremely suprised by the food and service after reading a bad review, however i found the meal to be fantastic. The atmosphere in the restaurante thriving and the food was exceptional. I would highly reccommend anyone to visit i will doing so again.

The staff were very friendly and we didnt have to wait long for each course, which was a suprise as it was very busy. There is an extensive wine menu which complements the food available. Def reccommend this to any friends

After travelling to London for a shopping trip, we decided to head to Signor Sassi for a spot of lunch. We were suprised at how busy it was in there for a lunchtime. We were seated quickly and our order was taken in a swift 5 minutes. The food came quickly and looked and tasted delicious. I had the monk fish, which was beautiful - it was so tender, and cooked to perfection. We only had soft drinks, however the wine menu looked very tempting and there was a wide choice available, all for a reasonable price.

Signor Sassi's location is great - it's really close to Harrods, so perfect for shopping-lunches! And due to the speed at which you can be served, you don't have to spend too long away from the shops!

I went to Signor Sassi last saturday night for my husband's 30th birthday. We were a party of 17 and had hoped to dine in their refurbished private room, but unfortunately this was not ready in time. Still, the manager and staff were apologetic and seated us in the main resturant - which was much more fun anyway.

The food was exceptionally good and although there were 17 of us they didn't get one order wrong and all the plates came out at the same time. The staff were very attentive, bringing round bread and olives the moment we sat down, constantly checking we had enough wine etc. They even brought out a giant Tiramisu, complete with candle and my husband's name on before singing happy birthday to him. The dessert was enough for a portion each with some to spare and was on the house - nice touch.

Although the bill was way more than expected, that was entirely down to our enthusiastic consumption of alcohol. Food and house wine reasonably priced - my only complaint is that the limoncello cost £5.50 a shot - and after ordering 2 each it added £200 to the bill!

Overall, a great atmosphere, fantastic food, and welcoming and attentive staff. The perfect venue for parties. I will definitely go back.

We went to Signor Sassi on a Saturday night on the basis of the good reviews received on this website. I'm afraid our experience was not great however. We reserved a table for two, a few days in advance. We were shown to a table near a larger table set for 9 people

We were seated at the table 15 minutes before the large birthday party arrived .It took 10 minutes before we were asked for drinks and we had to ask to give our order. We received our starters about 30 minutes after ordering and then waited 70 minutes with no sigh of the main course. Even though arriving 15 mins after us everyone at the table of 9 had received their main courses and ours was noone to be seen. Even though the waiter had to walk past our table every time he served the party of 9 he made no attempt to check up on our meal - we had to ask and then was told there was a delay because they were busy! Cleary this is a good restaurant if you are a favoured customer but pretty hit and miss if you are not.

We had a bizarre experience - in a strange way it was as if we were invisible all night. It wasn't that the service was bad it was simply as if they rated everyone else higher than us. I am currently workikng for a large bank sourcing restaurants that our bankers can take clients - don't think I will take a chance on such an inconsistent and arrogant restaurant like this.

I went here for my graduation last night. I had the stuffed ravioli for starters which was really nice and the sauce with it was to die for. I then went for the fillet steak which was succlent and tender. So no complaints at all. And you know with Italian restaurants the atmosphere is going to be lively.

I recently travelled to London to do some Christmas shopping and was advsied to try Signor Sassi, as many of my friends had great reviews of the restaurant.

It is decorated beautifully - I felt very special dining in such a gorgeous setting. The wall is adorned with photos of famous faces who have visited - although my visit wasn't a celeb spotting spree I'm afraid. However, my girlfriend was impressed by the photos, and was continually checking out the other diners incase one was a celeb in disguise!

We were assigned a very friendly Italian waiter, who was very helpful with helping us choose our dishes (and with our pronunciation!!) and ensured we had a very enjoyable evening.

The food was really great - it was a pleasant surprise to eat in a such a nice restauant for such a reasonable price, feel welcome AND enjoy the food! London never seems to manage to tick all the boxes, but Signor Sassi really did! Gold Star for the whole team!

Over the past few years I have had the pleasure of dining at SS many times, always memorable, always special, and always fantastic! I was introduced to this spectacular establishment by a business associate. Recently, my gorgeous bride Julie and I enjoyed ourselves at SS with great wine, delicious dinner, superb service and a truly a special time.

My recommendation is this...it is good enough for "high end business entertaining" and in my opinion it is so special as to be ideal for a honeymoon dinner.

Great place, great food, great atmosphere, unforgettable...

We spent the day in London last Wednesday and had a lunch booking in Signor Sassi at 12.30 following a colleagues recommendation.

We were greeted by numerous staff (who couldn't have been more helpful) and doted on hand over foot.

As the time went on the restaurant filled, but this didn't affect the service of the bubbly staff.

The menu selection was impressive with many appealing mouth watering dishes on offer (unfortunately we could only chose one), a repeat visit will definitely be on the cards!

We did not have to wait long at all for the food to arrive and there was nothing left on any of our plates. A good sign.

We washed all of this down with a couple bottles of Valpolicella, one of which was corked and replaced without any fuss.

A thoroughly entertaining time which all four patrons hugely enjoyed.

My wife and I had a meal in there after a Sunday matinee at the Royal Albert Hall. I have to say "What a fantastic restaurant". We got a table immediately, the waiting staff were attentive and efficient, the food was sublime and the ambience perfect. After Amerigo Vespucci in Canary Wharf, and The Anchor Inn at Sutton Gault, Signor Sassi is my favourite restaurant!
