Nestled in the heart of Knightsbridge, Sale e Pepe has been a celebrated London restaurant since 1974. For over fifty years, it has welcomed a loyal and diverse clientele, from British and Hollywood royalty to politicians, writers, and theatre-goers, offering a timeless blend of classic Italian hospitality and a familiar, vibrant atmosphere. Now part of the Thesleff Group, Sale e Pepe enters a new chapter, preserving its beloved heritage while embracing a refined sense of modern elegance.
The restaurant’s menu has been thoughtfully reimagined to celebrate the spirit of Italian famiglia culture, a warm, convivial experience built around sharing. Time-honoured classics such as Vitello Milanese and Linguine all’Aragosta are now offered alongside indulgent new highlights, including Salt Baked Whole Seabass for two, exquisite Tagliatelle Caviar, and an extensive selection of Crudi. Generously portioned and beautifully presented, each dish invites guests to come together over authentic flavours crafted with exceptional skill.
The recent transformation of Sale e Pepe extends beyond the kitchen. Inspired by Milanese townhouses, the elegant interiors blend rich wood panelling, a marble-topped bar, bronze mirrors, and atmospheric dark blue walls, creating a space that feels at once intimate and sophisticated. Whether enjoying an espresso at the bar or a long, languorous dinner, guests are transported to a chic Italian villa where timeless design meets contemporary charm.
In a city that constantly reinvents itself, Sale e Pepe remains a reassuring constant, a place where tradition, conviviality, and the finest Italian cuisine continue to be celebrated. A stone’s throw from Sloane Street, Harrods, and Harvey Nichols, this beloved Knightsbridge address stands as a true testament to the enduring power of genuine hospitality, reimagined for a new era.
