About this restaurant

This is neither a chain restaurant nor a franchise, it is a family owned and run restaurant and has been in business since 1995. At Savoir Faire we aim to restore serenity through serving delicious, traditional Italian food and drinks within a space that will allow you to escape from the daily pandemonium of London life.

Savoir Faire is a unique Italian restaurant consisting of hand-painted murals and in a rustic chic settings. There’s a vintage feel to the interior, the two floors decorated with bawdy wall drawings and bills for West End musicals, the clutter of closely packed tables managing to suit both large groups and romantic dates.

Whether you are shopping at nearby Oxford Street or visiting popular London landmarks such as The British Museum, Dominion theatre and Shaftesbury theatre you can wind down with our scrumptious Italian and French food and house wines. From fresh fish of the day to mussels, slow-roasted lamb shanks, pizzas, pastas, steaks and duck magrets...

Our waiter Sergio provided an excellent service. Sergio went over and beyond to make our dinning experience extra memorable. Sergio was extremely polite and professional. The restaurant is lovely, and the food was delicious, with amazing staff. I would definitely return for any occasion but especially for a special event, and I would hope Sergio attends to us.

Nice restaurant, food was lovely but, as the restaurant was very quiet at lunch time,it all felt just a bit too quick. No sooner had we arrived than the food was out with no time between courses, then we were finished and off.

The ambience was cozy. The service was ridiculously lacking. I understand it was NYE and it might had been understaffed. It was so difficult to get anyone’s attention to check on our order, let alone telling us they would be with us soon. The food was alright. I honestly can not recall being left alone for that long in any restaurant. The meal took three hours to finish when we finished entrees in about the first hour. I couldn’t even get my coffee. It was manageable to me as most patrons had finished their meals on the ground level.
