    Our first time at the restaurant. We had lunch. Menu was comprehensive and well balanced as was the wine list. 2 of our party are vegetarians and were very well catered for. The food was delicious and the service very good. Will definitely return!

    You just do not get any better than The Caraffini. After 25 years the standard remains the highest every time we eat there. It just does not vary.

    It may not suit anyone who likes noise, loud music and indifferent food. This restaurant is a treasure. Good food, relaxed ambiance, excellent service and good value for money. So many diners return again and again. Why? Because they love it.

    A delicious dinner at Caraffini. I had the quail’s eggs to start, taglierini caraffini for main course and chocolate soufflé - all were excellent. It’s been a few years since I’ve been but nothing has really changed and it still feels like a warm family run restaurant!

    Good Italian food, well cooked and served with a smile. A busy, bustling restaurant with a welcoming vibe. A little on the pricey side at £190 for two inc. bottle of house wine- but it is in Chelsea, so to be expected and the portions were generous. Overall very good experience.

    Caraffini is one of the best Italian restaurants in London. The food is outstanding and the service impeccable. It’s small so don’t be surprised if it’s booked- but well worth the wait! One of my London favs!!!

    We had a great night for a group of 6 old friends for a pre-Christmas supper. The staff were very welcoming & attentive, but not over fussing. Food was delicious. There ambiance was a warm gentle busy. We will return.
