    Excellent as always. This is my favourite restaurant not only in Chelsea but in London. The staff makes everyone feel special. The service is just excellent, and the food exquisite. Couldn’t recommend it more.

    Another excellent evening at Caraffini, we took two friends who had not previously been and they were very impressed. I had recommended the calves liver (which has always been perfect in the past). It’s always a slight concern that such a recommendation could backfire but quite the opposite was the case with our friends both loving the food. Thank you to the team who made us welcome and gave us great service.

    This must vie for being close to the top of the list of the very best Italian restaurants in London. The food is exquisite, the service immaculate and friendly and the atmosphere warm. Top marks from me!

    An oasis of calm with outstanding service, great food and - restfully - no background music. Highly recommended.

    This is a restaurant I have frequented for some 30 years. It is simply outstanding. The staff are staff I have known for many years. The food is good value for central London, is plentiful and of outstanding quality. Always my 'go to' place when in town. It never disappoints.
