    A very nice traditional Italian restaurant. Its home made pasta really delicious and good value. Its tiramisu was perfect, soft and too sweet. Highly recommended 👍👍🥂🥂

    Wonderful lunch at Caraffini today. As always a lovely welcome from the great staff and superb food. I love their monkfish and cherry tomatoes with pasta - so light and really tasty sauce. Highly recommend this go to Italian restaurant next to Sloan Square. Ideal if you need to lunch after shopping on the Kings Road, or before going to the fabulous Royal Court Theatre or just mooching around Chelsea. Lots of locals have gone there for years, me too! Great for Chelsea vibes. Xxx
