Caraffini, close to Sloane Square, is a long-standing Chelsea favourite, offering a generous welcome, excellent service, wonderful food and fine wine, all at a very competitive price.

We look forward to welcoming you!

    The best. Also, if the only available table is outside on the terrace - take it. The heaters and blankets are more than enough and the food and service exemplary as always.

    Excellent Italian food and wine with service to match in a busy restaurant but where you could have a good conversation without having to raise your voice. At the more expensive end of places I go, but I would have no hesitation recommending it.

    A visit to Caraffini is always a pleasure. The staff are friendly and professional, the ambience is relaxed. The food and wine excellent and for central London the pricing is very reasonable.
