Sartoria - London

This one of our regular restaurants in London for Italian. It is one of the D&D restaurants which you will find all over Central London. Always received with a warm welcome, yet professional staff. The food is very high quality, but drinks are quite pricey.

By far in my humble personal view the very best and my most favourite restaurant in London. Unpretentious warm service, a smart but not oppressively formal atmosphere, and a calming ambience in which you will enjoy glorious food, and excellent wines. Whether a friendly catch up, business dinner or a spot of personal indulgence, I cannot imagine Sartoria can or will disappoint!

Hosted a corporate dinner in the private room tonight. The room is nice and private, but is extremely loud. There is no soundproofing paneling in the ceiling or walls so it is very hard to have a conversation when it's full. The waiting service was extremely poor. The waiter spilled a plate of food on our table and then didn't bother to replace the meal, and went on serving other tables. There was no one filling water glasses. For a high end restaurant, this was pretty substandard. Would not recommend.

What a great restaurant! Booked a table for a birthday party, and the service was amazing. The location is perfect, the menu is diverse, delicious, and affordable. The restaurant is very chic, and the staff is so professional. Many thanks to all the team!

We were the first table seated and the service was very prompt with catering to our needs. We had the octopus and scallops as a starter. About 5 minutes later food was out. The scallops out of the two dishes were the winner. Great depth of flavour great balance of salt to sweet to sour and the nduja added that hint of spice. The octopus was also good. Nice cook on the Octo and we'll balance I just felt it needed a bit more depth to hit the palate correctly. On to the mains but before that can someone please turn off the alarm from the staircase right beside us please, it's so Annoying. Wild boar Ragu for me and lobster for the Mrs. Again I chose the winning dish. The lobster dish was semi drowning in a water puddle of flavourful broth. We both wished they would of rendered/reduce, thicken that broth to make remove it from its homogeneous state. The Ragu the best of the two dishes wasn't wowsers but, still good. I would of loved a bit more acidity and a layer of fat left behind on my tongue. It was simple and nice which makes it a great dish. Tell you what doesn't make it a great dish when the staff is laying down the law to what seemed to be a new staff memember who decided to wear his own vest coat to work when he shouldn't have. We were the only ones in the restaurant so we were the only ones who witnessed it but, not the right time or place for it. After they sent him to the corner for timeout the staff brought out a nice mango dessert to excuse for the Loud beeping which had still been running loud throughout the whole service. Overall a decent meal you pay for the premium of the location. Would I come again, yes but with a game plan and an extra vest coat
