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.

    Not a great experience, service was slow and they were understaffed for volumes. Menu pricing were out of line for what was served. This restaurant has some work to do before we return.

    The service was extremely poor - in that we waited a long time to be served, we had to ask for bread, and also the waiter literally leant over to grate some Parmesan..for the amount of money it costs I would have expected far better

    Top quality Italian restaurant, very well established; friendly professional staff, nicely spaced tables with several separated dining areas. Food is delicious and expertly prepared; extensive menu and a good selection of fish, meat and pasta dishes.

    Quando sono a Londra ci vado da oltre 15 anni , noto sempre Up and Down . L’ultima volta decisamente Down, personale nervoso e non molto professionale , vini al calice mancanti , così come i dolci solo 2 scelte , non abbiamo neanche avuto i biscottini di cortesia (li avevano annunciati , ma mai arrivati) . Pasta un po’ avanti con la cottura per noi italiani , salumi non all’altezza della volta precedente così come i formaggi . Sconsiglio a mio avviso di cenare di Domenica , capisco la stanchezza di una settimana di lavoro , ma a questo punto meglio restare chiusi a cena che rischiare di perdere clienti .
