Zafferano

Since opening in Belgravia in 1995, Zafferano has become one of London's most popular and highly regarded Italian restaurants. The interior combines rustic exposed brickwork with stylish contemporary furniture to create a relaxed setting for low-key lunches and romantic dinners. Chef Andrew Needham is passionate about honest, wholesome dishes presented with flair but without fuss, allowing the flavours to speak for themselves. His menu includes dishes like pan-fried scallops with saffron vinaigrette; linguine with lobster and fresh tomato; and fillet of beef with celeriac, leeks and red wine sauce. When they are in season, autumnal truffles appear on a dedicated tasting menu – perfect for special occasions. Zafferano's wine list includes an excellent Tuscan section and the bar serves a wide range of cocktails and aperitifs.
