Harden's survey result
Summary
This swish “old-fashioned Italian” with “very smooth and welcoming staff” has “real style” befitting its environs alongside the bespoke tailors of Savile Row (for which it is named). Owned by D&D London, the kitchen nowadays is run by distinguished Calabrian-born chef Francesco Mazzei. Prices have never been bargain basement here, but most reporters reckon the expense is “worth it for the excellent cooking using top-class ingredients” and the “divine selection of Italian wines”.
Summary
“A great, traditional Italian with real style”, whose name references its location, amongst London’s most famous tailors, and whose “well-spaced tables” help make it a “discreet and useful Mayfair location” for business lunches hosted by those wearing the bespoke products of its neighbours. Owned by D&D London, the kitchen is run by ex-Anima chef Francesco Mazzei, and it has put in a very solid performance of late. “I go when I want a special treat – I don’t eat meat, but I’ll always find a beautiful and flavourful vegetable-based dish or risotto, and the fish is excellent.” There’s a strong Italian wine list, where – for example – “you can usually find a Marche or Umbrian bottle of good vintage that doesn’t appear on anyone else’s list”.
Summary
This “formal” Mayfair Italian is “one of the best D&D London venues”, in a “beautiful, discreet and spacious setting”, with “expert service” and an “excellent kitchen” nowadays directed by ex-L’Anima chef Francesco Mazzei. All this comes at a price, of course, so while the formula might “work well for business-lunchers”, it can appear “expensive” to other diners.

For 32 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
