This is one of the best restaurant experiences I've had. The service is on par with a Michelin star restaurant - quick, courteous and polite.

Not one of those embarrassing ones but one which will delight your company and the other guests. The food is authentic Italian, generously portioned and very tasty! Prices are excellent. Look no further!

Saying that, it was a good deal, any pasta or pizza for £3 plus £2.50 for a cheeky glass of wine (though disappointed with the amount of wine - maybe they should have put it into a smaller glass to make it look like more! It was a nice wine). On the bonus side, as well as being good value, they have friendly staff, and I was served my pizza really quickly. While there, a number of big groups came in and so it is clearly popular locally and the pizza (apart from the underneath) was tasty. Didn't really get the 'family' feel to it, which it proclaims on the outside. Overall, would recommend, particularly for a cheap lunch but they should definitely clean their oven!

I had a good day here. I went in for the afformentioned £3 lunch* and got myself a fine tasting…read morespagghetti dish with black olives and parsley. The deal stretches to a few 12" pizzas, which is impressive, and looks equally delicious. My meal was prepared and brought over promptly, and I was offered a generous dousing of black pepper and parmasan which I accepted eagerly. For £3, I was damn impressed by the quality, and I got a strong impression that heading by in the evening and paying full price would turn out even better results. The right balance of oil and garnish made for a memorable meal. Zafferelli is also a great place due to its high quality finish, with menus, chairs and even the bills presented in stylish black leather that compliments the overall style of the establishment. It also exudes italianness, which is something you just don't get with the large chains like Pizza Express and Strada. The manager sang along to the Italian music playing over the speakers, and had a passionate greeting in speedy loud Italian with one of his guests. All in all, a damn good night out who's price, well stocked menu and finishing more than warrant a subsequent return or two. *which admittedly carried a reusable service charge of 10%, but I was more than happy to pay it seeing as I actually felt as though I was getting damn good service

Ho trovato gradevole il pranzo anche perché l'atmosfera è tranquilla e il locale è ben tenuto. Raccomando questo ristorante non solo per inglesi ma anche per turisti italiani.

On the bright side, the food is pretty good. I only had a pizza capricosa but it was fantastic and my wife had a swordfish steak that was cooked to perfection. It is a little more pricey than a lot of other Italian restaurants as I think it is trying to attract a bit more of a younger yuppie type of clientele.

The decor is stylish and modern and the whole place has a general fresh feel. Seeing as the building is actually quite old, the balance between the old and new has been well thought out. As you walk in you can see the stone bake oven at the far end of the restaurant and an expanse of tables are dotted over a split level eating area. I have dined here a number of times and found the food and service to be good on all occasions. Being part of a chain, they also have frequent voucher deals and you can pick up two main course for £10 on offers on two courses. They quality of the food is good and they have a wide ranging menu that goes beyond the standard pizza or pasta dishes that a lot of Italian eateries will stick with. The hand stretched pizza come on rustic boards and you could easily share between two if you ordered a side dish. I would also recommend the calamari starter that is battered on site and retains the delicacy of squid. The staff are also very accommodating and even when the restaurant is busy you don't feel like you are being rushed or neglected. They also have a good Italian wine selection and offer a very nice Pinot. The one draw back is that the outside area is next to a busy road and whilst you are raised and have a wall between yourself and the street, it can impact on your dining experience. If you decide to eat outside, it may be worth doing so on a Sunday. A nice restaurant with good food at reasonable prices, all served up in a great setting.

Unfortunately there is no car parking facilities but if you go there after 6pm, you can normally find a car parking space on the high street which is directly by the restaurant. So if you like italian food, I would give this place a try!

A good range of pizza and pasta to chose from, and dessert menu is great too. There is a cheap lunch time set menu, although choices are limited.

The place itself is quite large and the decor feels non-english but from experience not truly Italian.

It's difficult to say too much as it really doesnt't wow you but would be somewhere different if you are getting bored of the norm. The location itself is good as you are not far from pubs and a short bus ride to town so getting lots of people there shouldn't be difficult if you are a large group.
