One of the best Italian Restaurants in London even after the departure of Mr Locatelli.
However just like Locanda Locatelli the starters be it risotti or pasta are miniscule.

Top Notch
Absolutely top drawer Italian food. Quality is pretty much unsurpassed in London although The River Cafe is definitely its equal.
Beware some of the additional charge dishes - costs can escalate rapidly! Staff are always helpful and attentive without being on your shoulder and pushy. Great italian cooking and the venue is as fitting for special occasions as it is for business.
(Recent years have seen a notable rise in wealthy european clientele - on one visit a pair of thick set Russian gents sat next to our table were eating chocolates whilst they still had their main course on the table... They then left most of their food when they got up to go, along with half a £100+ bottle of wine.)

Superlative Italian
I took Mrs Magellan here for her birthday. London restuarant uber-critic Andy Haylor says that it is the best Italian in London and he is right.I began with prosciutto, folowed by Tagliatelle in a beef source and apple tart with caramel ice cream. Mrs M enjoyed her puratta (an a aubergine concoction), suckling pig and fig and almond tart.
Washed down with a bottle of San Leonardo, a delicious red from the Alto Adige. Service impeccable, professional and cheerful. Pricey (just under £200 for two but this is Knightsbridge) anda bit noisy. But the other punters were having fun - and at least there was no canned music. A nice crowd too of every age group and nationality. Far better than Locando Locatelli which seems to cater for footballers, hedge fund managers and Russian oligarchs.
A great place for a treat.

Fabulous Italian restaurant
I was fortunate enough to be on our company's exclusive invitation list to dine at Zafferano, a michelin star restaurant, in their private dining area.
The Private dining area is downstairs in the cellar & the big oak table seating at least 16 people the low lighting adds to the rustic feel of the room. I believe that during the week this room hosts sophisticated dinner parties, and on the weekend it transforms into a childrens heaven distinctive of a Italian family run restaurant feel.
Starters were platters of decadent cured meats, buffalo mozzerella with cherry tomatoes, seared tuna, selection of medittaranean vegetables with cuttlefish were among the dishes. I do not eat seafood or fish as a rule but was tempted to try the tuna and it was wonderful so perhaps I am cured of my fear of fish.
Next we enjoyed 2 types of pasta, a ravioli and a rissotto both equally good. Main course I had to select the veal which was cooked to medium perfection. Dessert had to be the classic Tiramisu which was different to how I have had it before but surely this is how Tiramisu should taste absolutely heavenly.
The staff are attentive, the wine list extensive and all in all I feel we had an excellent night which was also good value.

Best Italian in London
I have been coming to Zafferano on a monthly basis for a decade now, and although the chef has changed once the standard has not. Pasta dishes are superb, while salads benefit from top quality ingredients. The restaurant has a Michelin star and deservedly so; few restaurants in Italy are better. The only problem is getting a reservation. Vintage Tunina is my suggestion from the wine list. For more about Zafferano see www.andyhayler.com
