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.

My husband and I both thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Caraffini, from the welcome through to dessert. The food was absolute perfection - especially the fettuccini alla rustica and the lamb chops. Service was attentive and everything felt authentic. It was a great find and we will be back!
