Harden's survey result
Summary
This smart and notably “well-spaced” Savile Row veteran from The Evolv Collection (formerly D&D London) remains “super for business lunches”, but opinion remains split on the quality of its cuisine: some praise “exceptionally good and elegantly presented” dishes, while sceptics find only “disappointing cooking from a previously great restaurant”. Top Menu Tips – “great starters of Battuta di manzo, Tagliolini di cacio and pepe, and exceptional Lobster tagliolini; superb Veal Milanese for two with very light Zucchine fritte”.
Summary
D&D London’s well-tailored venue on Savile Row “remains a firm favourite” to fans, who applaud its “beautifully cooked” Italian cuisine and elegant standards generally. But high-profile chef Francesco Mazzei left a couple of years ago and our current annual diners’ poll inspired limited and mixed feedback: chief concerns are incidents of “mediocre food” and the fact that it’s “not cheap”.
Summary
This classic Italian set among the tailors of Savile Row (for which it is named and themed) serves “outstanding” dishes – most notably seafood – at admittedly “expensive” prices. Celebrity chef Francesco Mazzei departed in early 2023, leaving the D&D London venue lacking a high-profile figurehead, but thus far, this has seemingly had little effect on the quality of the cooking.
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”.
For 34 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).
