    Another excellent evening at Caraffini, we took two friends who had not previously been and they were very impressed. I had recommended the calves liver (which has always been perfect in the past). It’s always a slight concern that such a recommendation could backfire but quite the opposite was the case with our friends both loving the food. Thank you to the team who made us welcome and gave us great service.

    This must vie for being close to the top of the list of the very best Italian restaurants in London. The food is exquisite, the service immaculate and friendly and the atmosphere warm. Top marks from me!

    This is a restaurant I have frequented for some 30 years. It is simply outstanding. The staff are staff I have known for many years. The food is good value for central London, is plentiful and of outstanding quality. Always my 'go to' place when in town. It never disappoints.

    First time here. Service was excllent, in the old fashioned traditional Italian style, which is priceless. Offered a drink as soon as I arrived and we were very well looked after, without that being overpowering. The food was very good. Wine list also very good. Atmosphere was peaceful rather than frenetic and clearly a number of local regulars there. All in all most enjoyable and I look forward to going back.
