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 satisfactory but expensive for the quality of the produce. The steaks were not high quality.

    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 .

    A bit of a disappointment frankly. Premium location and pleasant enough surroundings. Total shambles on coats at entry and exit. Hugely overpriced mediocre food with indistinct flavours served by people who though not unpleasant, and with the odd exception, seemed not to give a monkey’s. Definitely won’t be going back. Ever. For £100 a head with only one glass of wine between us it was a waste of money and an evening we will never get back.

    Great food, really authentic Italian. But very expensive - would be a lot less in Italy for the same quality 😆!
