http://www.london-eating.co.uk/22534.htm Caraffini Readers Reviews - London Eating en-gb Copyright: (C) London Eating This place is a pathetic attempt at Italian food. I think all the positive reviews are coming from the mainly 60+ yr old patrons who've lost most of their taste buds. I had the minestrone which was more like vegetable soup and the linguine with clam sauce which I would describe as pasta just tossed in oil with a couple of clams on top. On ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/335.htm I've been coming here for years, and the restaurant has never failed to impress. The food is always delicious, and the service first class. Nothing is ever too much trouble and the attention to detail is what makes me want to return time and again. I've celebrated some very special moments at Caraffini, including dinner the night before my ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/335.htm It is my favourite. Francisco and his staff are consistently the best and most friendly in London. The food is always equally as good. http://www.london-eating.co.uk/335.htm I cannot understand anyone having not had a good time and food at Carraffini. I have been so many times I cannot recall the number and NEVER had bad service at lunch or dinner and the food the very best and price. Whenever I come to London with my children it is always their FIRST Choice when asked where they wish to eat out. http://www.london-eating.co.uk/335.htm What a disappointment! I went there last week with my boyfriend's mother. We walked in at 6.30, the head waiter escorted us to our table and told us 'i'll be back to take your order in 20 mins because the staff have not finished eating yet!' We told him we were in a bit of a hurry because we were off to the theatre. He then told us, ok then ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/335.htm Following a reccommendation from friends we tried this last night with two other people. First class was our concerted opinion at the end fo the evening. One thing that impressed was the air conditioning, an inconsiderate couple lit up on the adjoining table and whilst one could not escape the noxious fumes and trite excuse for smoking the air ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/335.htm I have had lunch at caraffini many times and it is great. The food is always high quality and the service is always quick and reliable, and there is always a good atmosphere. A must visit for tourists and londoners. http://www.london-eating.co.uk/335.htm I had lunch at Caraffini the other day, food was good but I found the service slightly confused and after a mix up with some wine (by admission their own error), I had to endure being insulted by the owner. I won't be going back. http://www.london-eating.co.uk/335.htm Went on a Saturday evening. Terrific atmosphere and friendly genuine service. Very promising outside terrace on a nice quiet road. Food on the whole good. Spaghetti with 3 sauces cooked perfectly. Risotto a little sloppy for my taste and the superb lemon brulee was spoiled by hasty attempt at caramelising under a grill resulting in patchily ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/335.htm Having done a huge amount of research, I chose Caraffini for its excellent write up and food critique. However, I was very disappointed. Although service was attentive, you felt slightly rushed and hurried into making a decision. The wine was offered and then taken away not to be refilled and when the food arrived, it was not completely ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/335.htm
