    This isn't a restaurant you got to because of the food: you go to Caraffini because you want to have a great evening with your friends or family, and you want to eat delicious and reliable food with very attentive service to accompany it. I can't find any faults. Thank you

    We had a wonderful meal at Caraffini. The food and service was exceptional - requested a quiet table as my mother is hard of hearing and this was organised for us perfectly. We had a fab,family get together thank you Caraffini. Looking forward to returning.

    One of my favourite restaurants for lovely, classic Italian dishes. In particular, the liver with a honey glaze and the venison with a chestnut sauce are delicious. Very much a Chelsea haunt.

    The food is fantastic, the waiters are brilliant. There was chilli in mums main course which she reluctantly had to tell them she couldn’t eat having not realised there was going to be any, as she always avoids spicy food. They were so kind and understanding- no questions asked and they brought her something else. Really attentive for the whole meal today and Caraffini is still one of the best Italians in London. We have been going for years and we have never had a bad meal. We will be back.

    What a lovely restaurant! Haven't been for a while but I was greeted like an old friend. The service was amazing as was the food. I had a chicken pasta dish which was dreamy, and my friends had the gnocchi which was also great and in a really interesting sauce. Great evening out, highly recommended.

    We really enjoyed our food. The restaurant was very busy, so a bit cramped. Had to ask for wine bucket to be moved out of the way. But attentive and helpful staff. May well go back
