Zafferano first opened in the heart of London’s exclusive Belgravia area in 1995.

Since then, the awards and accolades have continued to pour in each year and the restaurant has achieved some of the best restaurant reviews written.

Zafferano has been acclaimed time and again for its honest wholesome take on Italian cuisine, with dishes like ‘Malfatti’ Pasta Parcels with potato and morel mushroom, Lobster and langoustine sautéed with ‘samphire’ and also Roast ‘Fiorentina’ T-bone Steak with herb salad.
There is also an elegant bar offering a selection of cocktail, aperitifs and digestive as well as a bar menu with a mouth watering choice of regional Italian favourites.

    I had an outstanding experience at this consistently excellent restaurant. The service was superb from start to finish. We indulged in the prawn tartare and Vitello tonnato, both excellent choices. The pasta with white truffle was the best we’ve ever had, and the classic tiramisu was outstanding. Thanks for a lovely evening; we’ll definitely be back soon!

    We have been on the resturant 4 to 5 times for the last many years and love the resturant and food. We felt this time the menu is shorter and the food quality was lower than we are used to. The resturant have extended with an extra room and we was seated there to us it feels like you are separated from the rest of the resturant in that area as you can not follow what is happening around the resturant.

    I had not been to Zafferano for several years. I should have know something was wrong when I was able to book a table for Saturday night on the same day. We had two appetizers, two main courses and one dessert. All five were of poor quality. The spaghetti lobster was not fit for human consumption

    Food not as good as it was a few years ago I went there last. Wine year did not correspond to the year on the menu - disappointing. Overall, less than I was expecting.

    Ok food, everything either oversalted or just bland, not the level of Italian food you would expect at that price level. Have been there before and it was much better. Seems to be a bit hit and miss in terms of quality. Service is very good.

    A really good Italians restaurant as fine dining should be. Great quality of foods (prawn tartare was special) and good level of service as well. It was an excellent choice for our anniversary and will certainly look to visit again.

    I have been to Zafarano so many times, and it felt very different this time, usually the flavours are spectacular but last night felt very mediocre. The red prawns were bland and the fillet steak overcooked accompanied by boring vegetables. I hope this was a one off as I have been going to Zafarano’s for 20 years and it’s never fail to impress.

    They have changed the menu but it was never updated on OpenTable. Moreover, it was weird because when I went there before, there wasn’t any cover charge but I was charged w a cover charge. The zucchini fritter was disappointing because it was all fried and soggy unlike the one from other restaurants like Harry’s and Sa el Pepe. The sea urchin spaghetti had very little sea urchin.
