Beautiful restaurant - Fantastic serviceIt's been a long time since I've felt the need to write a review about a restaurant but the service I received was worthy of the effort.
Upon entering the restaurant we were greeted by a smiling, smartly dressed Italian waiter and a lovely female hostess. The waiter showed us to our table, whilst the chefs in the kitchen merrily sang in Italian in the background. Once seated, he let us know that he would be back shortly with wine recommendations and to take our orders. Although it was busy, sure enough he came back after 5 miunutes, allowing us to browse the wine and food menu. He offered his knowledge on what wines would best match our meals, and suggested that we try something off the Specials board.
The restaurant's atmosphere was lovely - it was so bustling, and everyone was chatting - it really did feel like an evening in Italy.
The food was beautifully presented, and tasted great. The sauces were so rich and creamy, and the lobster that my partner had was cooked to perfection, looked great and tasted amazing.
The whole evening was fantastic - we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, and look forward to our next visit.

Awful!I had an absolutely disgusting meal at Don Salvo's. The staff are just plain rude. They made us feel unwelcome the minute we arrived and proceeded to rush us through our whole evening. The food was cold, and tasteless. I needed to cover my whole meal in salt to get any flavour at all. We didn't bother with dessert - as the waiter 'kindly' informed us that they only has 3 of the dessert available. Not very acceptable for a Wednesday night if you ask me.
THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU GO HERE!!!

Highly recommended! I have dined in many restaurants that claim to offer a real Italian experience, but none so far have managed it. That is until I visited the stunning Signor Sassi in Knightsbridge.
The staff hit the nail right on the head with their attitute - true Italian banter and that cheeky, flirtatious way with the ladies who are dining along with great service.
The food was spot on - the fish dishes are renowned and now I can understand why! It was out of this world!
Luckily we booked, as I don't suspect we would have managed to get a table otherwise.
Very very impressed with Signor Sassi - I shall definitely be visiting again.
