    Good Italian food, well cooked and served with a smile. A busy, bustling restaurant with a welcoming vibe. A little on the pricey side at £190 for two inc. bottle of house wine- but it is in Chelsea, so to be expected and the portions were generous. Overall very good experience.

    A delicious dinner at Caraffini. I had the quail’s eggs to start, taglierini caraffini for main course and chocolate soufflé - all were excellent. It’s been a few years since I’ve been but nothing has really changed and it still feels like a warm family run restaurant!

    Caraffini is one of the best Italian restaurants in London. The food is outstanding and the service impeccable. It’s small so don’t be surprised if it’s booked- but well worth the wait! One of my London favs!!!

    We had a great night for a group of 6 old friends for a pre-Christmas supper. The staff were very welcoming & attentive, but not over fussing. Food was delicious. There ambiance was a warm gentle busy. We will return.

    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.
