    Food delicious, restaurant was very crowded and busy. Wait staff was efficient and moved constantly! Owners/manager was also working hard.

    Fantastic food. Tables were a bit small and cramped for two people. We sat by the bar and the reception desk which wasn’t ideal. Service was impeccable.

    Yesterday we celebrated my son's Birthday at Carafini and we had the most beautiful evening. All was smashing from the moment we were welcome, through to the service, good food, amazing waiters and lovely ambiance and lighting made this evening unforgettable. Thank you for being so attentive to us! We will definitely be back soon!

    Always reliably delicious food, with steady, discrete and friendly service, and an ambience of refreshing, quiet calm with a discrete uplifting buzz. Outstanding.
