Not as good as it used to be when Francesco Mazzei worked here. Really disappointing.

Love. This. Place. I like to take myself out to dinner whenever I want damned good Italian food, excellent wine, and lovely service. Even their Italian music is good; I’ve stayed just to Shazam the tunes. Pastas & entrees are lovely, ambience is serene, waitstaff is easy on the eye…and down the street you’ve got amazing galleries to whet your appetite.

I booked this restaurant after enjoying Francesco Mazzei is food at Corinthia in Malta, and seeing Stanley Tucci also recommend it - I was quite excited. We ordered starters and mains, which were quite good (plating could have been better for the quality you go for...but this was on the servers and not the chefs). The dessert however was disappointing - we ordered a lemon sorbet and a Tiramisu. The tiramisu Francesco makes in Malta is delicious, so this was a dish we looked forward to...however this one was right from the fridge (very cold)...and practically a bunch of cream used - the type you get when you spray it....tiramisu has mascarpone however this had none of that - was barely edible. The lemon sorbet is supposed to be a typical Sicilian creamy sorbet, however this had the majority filled with ice flakes and just not creamy at all. When it comes to the service - this was the most disappointing - starting with basics, we ordered one bottle of water...they decided to just open another and start pouring it, where we had to tell them we didn't request another...they just made the assumption we wanted more even though all our glasses were full. A negroni sbagliato was also ordered, which they confirmed they can do....was a negroni but definitely not a sbagliato (no prosecco added). A room temperature ginger ale was ordered, confirmed they have non cold bottles available...served it and was very cold, when questioned on their previous confirmation, the server stated that is the room temperature they have. Regarding the pasta, two carbonara and one Cacio Pepe was ordered...the Cacio Pepe was very good....carbonara too, however presentation - you get the pasta rolled up with an egg yolk in the centre - one came presented that way...the other the pasta was all over the plate with the yolk broken on the side (apparently the server did that accidentally according to them - which is fine...but also presentation is key in such a restaurant). There was also an issue with the waiters understanding of English, which surprised us...even when requesting basics such as ice cream/sorbet flavours...they described another dessert, and I had to ask about two more times until they understood and I got told the flavours available. Also basic things such as the menus being taped together or with biro marks on them...this restaurant is classy and in a nice area, the upkeep however was lacking. Overall, service was not too good, the restaurant is nicely decorated, the savoury dishes tasted good, and the dessert I do not recommend. Unfortunately not a place I would return to or recommend.

Unfortunately this was not a good experience for me. Out water was a bit timid. He did not go over the menu. The atmosphere was dark and the restaurant was not busy. The menu was hard to read as the font was very small. I had to use the light on my phone to read it. I was not happy with the food. The salad was bland and the meat dry. The wine was the only thing that was good. I would not return to this restaurant.

Chose this restaurant for our annual Christmas Eve lunch, it was our first visit here but by no means will be our last. We loved everything about this place. Met with a warm and relaxed greeting and offered either to go to the table or have a drink in the very pretty bar area - I chose the latter whilst awaiting my guests. The drinks menu offers an exciting range of Negronis and I was impressed by the recommendation. The dining room itself is very pleasant, tables are nicely spaced and the atmosphere was chilled. The service was first rate, a really friendly and attentive waiter who was knowledgeable about the menu. The food was divine - really good quality, portion sizes perfect and presentation very attractive. I don’t usually have dessert but we all decided on the tiramisu - so delicious. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Oxford and Regent Street - a sanctuary of delight.

We were searching for a place to have dinner for our last day in London. We knew it was a busy time but we had a chance to book a table in Sartoria. I loved the place. The wine, pasta and everything else. It is definitely worth it to try. I am glad that we had such a lovely dinner for our last day. Thank you everyone and Merry Christmas

Pretentious and over priced but food quality was terrible. The presentation of the pastas we ordered was not appealing at all. Remember! You eat with your eyes first…. Dessert - vanilla ice cream was icey, which tells me that it has melted and refrozen! The ice cream was also tasteless. For a so called Italian restaurant, the coffee was shocking. I ordered a simple macchiato and it was more of a short black with boiling milk! Frankly, this place is not worth the penny, let alone the pounds they charge!

Guys DONT go sartoria for dietary requirements 🙏🙏🙏 at the start of the meal I said I don’t eat meat and my mum ordered a scallop and then I found out the scallop (fish) had pork in it?!?!? Like who in the right mind mixes them together like imagine if you’re Muslim and you eat fish thinking it’s halal and then they’re pork in it?!?!? Anyways at the start of the meal I asked if I would be able to get the carbonara without the bacon as some places make it on comand and some reheat, the man came back and said that they can do it without bacon and made it VERY clear to the chef that there should be no bacon. I recieved my food WITH BACON ON IT and he waiter said well the sticker said no bacon WELL THERE WAS BACON anyways I got free food 😝😝😝 no hate to the waiter he was an absolute star just miscommunication

The food was excellent, when it arrived, (drinks arrived about 10 mins after starter, and side arrived aboutb10 mins after main courses) the building and environment is wonderful but the service was atrocious, poorest I have witnessed in along time across numerous different restaurants. From the rudeness and complete indifference of the hostess, to the poor waiters and food service, to the dirty table cloth and nontable setting, it was extremely disappointing. The only bright spot was the sommelier who almost singlehandedly kept the show another road. For a customer facing business, which presumably relies heavily on high quality customer service, the deficit was vast. And then to be charged service charge (which i refused to pay), and the total surprise as to why I refused to pay for service, remarkable Terribly disappointing as the reputation had preceded our visit and the service just ruined the evening

We were big fans of this restaurant coming to London. We made a reservation for four people 9pm this past Saturday the 7th of December 2024…. we came The bar was completely empty with no bartenders. We were barely greeted and then seated at the very beautiful table. We sat there for about 10 minutes and finally a non-speaking english waiter came to ask us if we were ready to order our food, jokingly I said I guess we’re not having drinks tonight and there is no specials. I guess….We were never explain the menu, maybe any specials nor asked for a drink/cocktail…..I immediately asked to speak to the manager, I was very friendly, but he was not, I asked him what is going on here, we were looking forward for a nice evening here tonight, I asked….Is this the bus boy that will be handling our evening tonight he does not even speak English. What is going on here? He did not apologize. His response was simply “he is a waiter in training” A waiter in training I replied to him how could he be a waiter in training he barely speaks any English is this some kind of joke! I was little surprise how GM didn’t try to make things better kinda like he didn’t care so we all got up and we left the restaurant! This hostess/general manager, really didn’t seem to care So we proceeded to got up with my party and we left and went back to Berkeley hotel to enjoy an amazing Meal at the ABC restaurant in our hotel. Very very disappointed probably the worst restaurant I went to in the week I spent in Paris and London. Stanley Tucci, the food might be very, very good here, but the staff sucks!

The staff were positively lovely but unfortunately, the food falls far short of wowing and considering that, the price you pay for it is somewhat extortionate. I must say that there are better options around. EDIT: The copy-paste response, replete with the quotation marks left in really speaks for itself, doesn’t it? I recommend Core, Hélène Darroze, Pétrus, and Claude Bosi, to name a couple of options.

Loved it! We dropped in on a whim and were delighted. The Vitello Tunnata was almost life-changing and the Fettuccine con Ragu di Vitello was not far behind. Service was very charming and considerate, if a tiny bit stretched by a large private function, and the Italian Feast fixed price menu made it excellent value.

Service was very slow, it took over 30 minutes to get a drink every time we ordered one. When the waiter brought over our third round of drinks I asked if he could go ahead and order the next one since the wait time was so long, he made it seem like I was weird for doing that. His overall service wasn’t great either. The food was mediocre at best. I had the venison rague, it was extremely dry and bland. My partner had the carbonara, it was way over salted and only tasted of salt. The best thing we had was the gelato.

I admit it, I'm shallow. I saw Stanley Tucci's segment on London where he visited this restaurant. It looked interesting and he was so enthusiastic. I agree with one of the recent reviews, he must have been paid to include it in his series. Given his reputation as a foodie and an Italian-food lover, I can't believe that he would have eaten at the restaurant I experienced more than once. To the restaurant's credit, it is a beautiful space. That's were the credit ends. After we were seated it took at least 15 minutes for someone to come by and ask us about water or a cocktail. And there was the first sign of a significant problem. You shouldn't have to wait for water or cocktails -- espescially when the place was clearly not fully booked. It suggests they've lost the thread. The next problem to emerge was that I think we saw at least five different staff people come by the table (in the beginning at least). No one clearly identified themselves as the lead waiter in this mass -- though I assumed it was the guy in the suite and tie. With the exception of the young man who brushed the crumbs off the table, everyone else was completely indifferent and seemed to be wondering around the restaurant trying to avoid waiting on our table. The food itself, while expensive, was mediocre, indifferent or not very good. Some examples: my wife had a salad that looked like a model for a Frank Gehry building but it was difficult (like the inclusion a large radish that you had to saw through) to eat. It looked great but difficult to figure out what was going on or why it was presented more as a sculpture than a food item. When we got to mains, however, the disappointment was significant. I had a veal ragu which was far more sauce than pasta. It was fine, but there was no attempt by the kitchen to balance out the serving so I shortly had a significant bowl of just sauce. My wife had their tagline cacio e pepe with truffle. Oy. The pasta was sitting in a puddle of liquid. The truffle was negligible -- though not the price of adding in the so-called truffle. It was also gloopy. We have visited Rome many times and eaten cacio e pepe all over the city and have never had it served this way -- i.e. sitting in a pool of liquid or gloopy. Beware of a Italian restaurant that can't even fake a good cacio e pepe. Finally, all of this was very, very slow. Did I mention the service was indifferent? I can't write about desert because after 20 minutes from when they cleaned away the dinner dishes and gave us a desert menu where the waiters (none of the five) visited our table, we decided to get the check and check-out. Frustrated and disappointed... poorer for price and experience but wiser about not buying into the hype. We visit London frequently. There are very good Italian restaurants to be found -- both traditional and innovative. This was just confused and disappointing and time consuming (time wasted I will not get back). Some of the reviews say they seem to have changed management. I don't know this being a first experience, but it certainly will be our last.

Menù semplice ma i piatti sono realizzati con grande cura e fanno quasi scordare di essere a Londra. Complimenti a tutto lo staff ed al gentilissimo capo sala.

Sought to blame the delay on anything other than a total crisis with their serving staff. We waited 90 minutes to get our main course. Although they took the cost of the main course off our bill, the day was spoiled by the experience. As a regular customer, this is the last chance I will give them. Never again.

Lunch there yesterday. Two of us arrived at 12:20, and at 12.30 both ordered the vitello tonnato which came quickly and was excellent. The second course of cauliflower steak sprinkled with black truffle, arrived at 1:25 nearly an hour later, we having complained about the delay twice. Clearly the order had been forgotten especially as the next table received their main course before us although they arrived after us. When it did arrive it was pretty tasteless Although the vegetable was well cooked, The saucing lacked flavour and the truffle lacked any real flavour which made us think that the truffle was not new or fresh. Or perhaps truffles are not flavoursome this year? Either way the dish disappointed. We were "compensated" by a sorbet and a removal of the service charge. A truly poor experience.

Unfortunately the quality of both food and service is not what it used to be. The octopus was chewy, the tagliata was supposed to be medium rare and it was well done (good meat but at £47 you would expect they get it right). Tagliolini were ok but no lemon could be tasted. The service was poor and they charge 14.5%. Starters arrived way before drinks and we had to remind them about the drinks. No attention and icing on the cake was a glass of white wine instead of Chianti. For that service charge you need to be good. Be aware that they add £1 for an undisclosed charity. We used to like it but yesterday was the last time we visited.

The roasted potato side was probably the only thing they could have improved on. I felt they were overly salty, however I presume some folks might prefer them that way.

It tasted like sake and instead of remaking it, the server said he spoke with the bartender who assured him it was a Dirty Martini. But later the server confessed that they didn’t know what a dirty martini was !?! I decided to press on so as not to put a damper on the experience but couldn’t finish it.

A traditional Italian restaurant with excellent food and service. We enjoyed the risotto and tagliolini cacio e pepe as starters followed by the beef sirloin with vegetables - all delicious. Dessert was an excellent tiramisu. The wait staff were helpful and attentive throughout the meal.

Been waiting to go to this restaurant since I saw it on the Stanley Tucci show, and it didn’t disappoint. Took my dad for his 70th birthday, and the fantastic food and service made it a wonderfully memorable trip

Here are some of the things I liked about Sartoria: The restaurant is centrally located and easy to find. The atmosphere is pleasant and relaxed. The staff is nice and helpful. Here are some of the things I didn't like about Sartoria: The drinks were okay but not very good. The prices were a bit high.

Fabulous food and service. Beautiful restaurant interior, comfortable seats, so I was very surprised by the state of the toilets - broken toilet seats, generally not very clean. Disappointing.

Lunch was delightful. Attentive staff, delicious food, great wine selection with help on hand if you need it, and lovely atmosphere. Luxurious without opulence.

Excellent experience; food, service, and ambiance. My only suggestion would be for the staff to better advise on the size of dishes. The main courses are substantial so we ended up ordering too much food.

Has management changed, ? what has happened to the Italian waiters who had finesse, the new waiters have no idea, and you need to chase them for service, it was what I call silver service when we last attended in May 24 to now feeling like a brick lane style service The cotteletta for two was dry and not melt in the mouth like we previously experienced in may24 When they bought the tray of cotteletta they just cut it up and put on our plates, we had to ask to be shown before he cut it up as the size is impressive, an elephant ear size as described on the menu but the waiters let down the show The new addition of flowers all over the walls in the bar area is not a nice addition to what was once a classy restaurant Definitely new ownership, new management and new chefs, I would not recommend this restaurant any more

Sartoria is wonderful! Delicious food, fabulous location, great service, luxuriantly comfortable seats. What more you you ask for? I’m always amazed it’s not filled to the rafters.

Special birthday, but sadly, didn't live up to expectation. My main course was delicious, but service let us down. They charged £9.50 for a sweet, which was mediocre and for one of our group an absolute joke. One scoop of lemon sorbet that was already melting in the metal dish it was presented in. We felt like second class citizens, seated at the back of the restaurant near the toilets, when other clients enjoyed a window seat. The restaurant was far from full. I will not be returning or recommending it to others. Over rated and overpriced!

Wow, this was amazing! We dined here, after watching a TV series with Stanley Tucci….and it was well worth it. So Australia to the UK to dine! The setting is beautiful, the staff are friendly yet professional and the food was just delicious. We dined on the Veal Milanese. And really enjoyed an Italian red to go with it. Thank you, I now have a wonderful memory!

We had an enjoyable anniversary dinner at Sartoria in September 2024. We stumbled across it by searching for Italian restaurants in the Mayfair area. The food and service were very good and the atmosphere is nice. At the time we were there, midweek around 7pm for dinner, about half the tables were taken so there was a good amount of noise and certainly not too noisy. It's not a cheap eat but for a special occasion we thought the food quality met the price point and the wine we chose was very good.

Overall 3 star due to several factors. 1) The interior decor is chic with a touch of old money which is great but the music choice did not match. 2) Friendly bartender but our server was rather awkward, perhaps he was having a bad evening but the weird looks given to my date was very unpleasant. 3) Food was nice.

Really unhappy about overall experience, the service is good and everyone was attentive . But we have chosen to celebrate special occasion , birthday and there was no vibe in the restaurant,all the tables were empty and just nothing special about the place.

Very average food with very average serv. We went because of Stanley tuccis glowing recommendation, he must’ve been paid ! The restaurant itself is nothing like how it looks on the website, it’s tired and in need of some tlc. There were only a couple of people in the restaurant when we arrived and we decided to have a drink in the bar first, we had an alarm bell ringing due to the look of the restaurant and the inattentive bar tender, we should’ve left there and then . The food , although not terrible was infinitely less than inspiring, definitely nothing like Stanley would have you believe! Would it recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting London

Had a lovely dinner with friends here. We were sat in a quiet corner table beside the kitchen window, and could see the chefs do their magic. Food was great, drinks and wine selection abundant… and pricing appropriate for the quality and surroundings etc in the City. We had a mix of starters (get the arancini), pastas (monkfish spaghetti) and desserts (tiramisu)… and my friends and I had no complaints. Our waitress (sorry I didn’t catch her name, but our receipt had Toni on there) was so friendly, fun and welcoming. She made the evening even better. Thanks for a wonderful dinner!

I think we came on an off night but I suspect some of what we experienced was typical. There was a number of large parties in and while the service was great, the food was pretty poor. Salad with no salad, just tomatoes. Tough bullet like potatoes with the T-Bone. A "medium rare" T-Bone that was so thick in places, it was almost blue. Blue cheese sauce the consistency of milk. Calamari straight out of a packet.
