Zafferano (Knightsbridge)

• Nice ambience and location with a great menu
• I tried the Sea Food Risotto which was a tad less "
• I tried the crab cake starters which were a tad too moist and flaky
• I had the spaghettini with crab and chilli very nicely presented
• We had an Italian friend visiting London and staying nearby so this was recommended to us
• The service was quietly efficient and the food was excellent although our friend (who lives in the USA) thought the portions quite small
• We would have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant whether you are eating out for business or pleasure
• 58 to enjoy the best of Italian cuisine
• The wine selection is amazing and even the littlest of things like the balsamic vinegar is the tastiest I have even had
• It was one of the best I have had
• The dessert menu is also worth leaving room
• After a long interlude with just an acting head chef after Andy Needham&rsquo
• He was formerly head chef of Alloro and is from Turin
• Mostly Italian but with a small selection of labels from around the world
• The 350 odd labels are slanted heavily towards the high end
• The average mark up is an egregious 3.5 times retail price
• Zenato 2007 was a relatively palatable £
• Antinori Tignello 2006 was a sky high £
• Goat cheese and walnuts was dressed with balsamic vinegar
• The endive was crisp and slightly bitter as it should be
• Crab and avocado with fresh tomato dressing was a classic combination
• Tagliolini with white truffles from Tuscany featured perfect
• Buttery pasta with lovely texture
• At least they were generous with the truffle
• Rum baba with pistachio ice cream was tolerably moist but lacked rum
• The pistachio was not a perfect foil (13/20)
• It was not hot enough when it was delivered (13/20)
• Topping up was excellent and the waiters friendly
• The overall experience was very enjoyable and the cooking
• The kitchen is not yet firing on all cylinders
• Certainly the savoury dishes tonight were of a high standard
• Spring vegetable salad with bagna cauda was not as carefully presented as it used to be
• Though the salad elements were certainly good (15/20)
• Simple dish that was very enjoyable
• Tagliatelle with morels was less good
• The morels were fine and the texture of the pasta was excellent
• Monkfish with walnut and caper sauce was nicely cooked
• Though the mash and spinach with it was quite salty
• Petit fours actually were better than I recall
• Soft fruit jellies with plenty of flavour (16/20)
• Though ingredients are of the same level
• The service is as polished as ever
• The taste is overwhelming and so sweet that one is always in awe and never forgets the experience
• The quality of the food is consistently maintained thanks to attention given to all the ingredients that go into the dishes
• In fact in my opinion this restaurant serves the best Italian food in the city
• The food is amazing and the crowd is also very good
• The ambiance is also piece of art
• Zafferano (Knightsbridge) is highly recommend by me

• The food here is good with a well tasting starter and mains
• The waiter appeared more concerned with refilling my glass with water
• The service however is poor keeping in mind the expensive and high bill
• It is perfect for those lunches with your clients and very elegant even for your first date
• Zafferano (Knightsbridge) is always a win win
• I am absolutely disappointed with the service
• My recent visit was my last here ever
• The food ordered with the delay of two long hours
• This is pretty damaging given that the restaurant was jam packed
• We had ordered one bottle of water and were served two without requesting for it
• This particular behaviour was quite irritating and not appropriate for a place that never ceases to amaze us with high standards of food
• The set menu has been done away with and the a la carte dishes cost a fortune
• The food here is great though and the service very friendly
• The only drawback i saw that Zafferano (Knightsbridge) is quite expensive but according to me once in a while it is okay
• The staff served us with some nice cocktails
• The service was great as well with very helpful staff
• As we came after our wedding with out adult children
• This for me was a very touching gesture
• I had the best Italian food and this compliment is coming fro a person who really do not like much places and very choosy
• The food was amazing I had Pan fried Sea bass and it was very amazing
• The place is decent with nothing too good or bad about it
• The food here was mixed with some being good and some bad
• The crab salad was devoid of any flavors
• Zafferano (Knightsbridge) however was much too loud for my liking
• The service however was quite alright
• The hostess was rather welcoming and warm
• The value for money is also quite low given that the charges don't really match the food served
• A major annoyance for me was the wine server
• The tagliolini trufle was extraordinary and full of flavour
• The meat however was a little too thick for me
• Everything was perfectly cooked and tasted divine
• This restaurant is definitely one of the high end restaurants in London but it comes at a huge price
• The tiramisu was easily the highlight of the meal
• This Michelin star restaurant in London is a truly deserving place
• The food is fabulous with everything cooked to perfection and with all the correct flavors
• We had tried pasta with beef which was mind blowing
• The meat melts in your mouth and you are left with craving for more
• The service is impeccable
• It has to be since the prices are steep but not ridiculous
• The food here is the main focus
• The dishes are tasty and well presented too
• The attention to detailing is commendable
• The quality of the ingredients was great and very fresh
• Yet packed with flavors and is an absolute delight
• The flavors are balanced very well in the food
• The best quality ingredients are used in the food and the quality is consistent
• The taste of the dishes is modern and inventive
• The wine list is enormous but a bit expensive
