    Caraffini lived up to its reputation with excellent food in a stylish, busy but civilised space. Service was a bit slow and occasionally casual (“ a glass of red wine Sir” rather than confirming that it was the Chianti Riserva) but overall the restaurant is highly recommended.

    As always ( 25 yr experience of caraffini) , it never disappoints. The service, ambience and quality of the food is outstanding. It is the only restaurant in London that I repeatedly return to. A very special place to be and should not be missed.

    A wonderful experience for a birthday celebration, sitting outside to take advantage of the sunshine. We chose the fish - halibut and cod which was generous in size and cooked to perfection. The house white wine, a Sauvignon. was great value and complimented the fish perfectly. Not to forget the sardines starter, full of flavour cooked simply with a little balsamic in the side. An experience that will live long in the memory and sure to return again.

    Food and service was ok, however it’s very brightly lid, so not a place for a romantic candle light dinner. Also the average age of the visitor seems to be 70 years.
