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.

    food was very good. you can find a lot of italian classics here, very well cooked. Potrions are not super generous, but the taste is great. the price is a bit over the top, but we are in the heart of Belgravia. All in all good experience and i will go back. Marcello

    Very good food and service but the wine list is horribly expensive with the cheapest wine at £70 definitely not a bargain place

    We enjoy this place and are repeat customers. I have used it for business dinners as well. The food is very, very good. The service is impeccable. It is a place you can hear your table mates without shouting. It is a very classy, classic Italian.

    A great Italian restaurant. Kids friendly. Dishes are reliable, prices high as you would expect, given the expensive cars parked outside. If you’re looking for a great Italian place in Chelsea/Knightsbridge, go to Zafferano.

    Staff at the door was very welcoming and kindly allocated us to a fantastic table with amazing ambience, however the food was underwhelming. The ravioli, priced at almost £30 included only 5 pieces and it tasted like it was microwaved, with a significant lack of flavour. The starters were nothing special for the prices set.

    Too expensive , needed another meal after 1 hour of leaving the restaurant My local Italian is more refined, more authentic, almost same type of dishes for a quarter of the price It s a shame, I went there 15 years ago and it was impressive.

    A special lunch to celebrate the life of a very fine friend, and it didn't disappoint. The last time we visited Zafferano was several years ago, to finalise details for a special trip. Zafferano is now even finer than we remembered. A professional but charming and relaxed Italian Restaurant with equally charming and discreetly attentive staff. We started with a steaming hot Minestrone soup and a Fusilli tomato pasta dish. Both were very tasty and beautifully presented. Our mains were honeyed chicken breast with roasted potatoes & green beans. Desserts were hot apple pie with a custard base, topped with ice cream, all of which tasted marvellous. We would often have wine but didn't this time. Nevertheless, the wine list options are sophisticated and significantly vary in price. Although, it depends on what you choose, a meal here can be quite expensive. However, Zafferano is outstanding in every respect.
