Zafferano was really good! I had the mushroom risotto and it is definitely one of the better ones I've had in Perth! We came here for my brother's 21st birthday dinner and the staff had arranged to have "happy 21st birthday" on his dessert. They were very professional and the restaurant was well polished. I found the price to portion size slightly high but the quality of food was undeniable. The birthday dessert was the Wildflower Honey Bavarios. The other dessert we tried was the Cookies and cream terrine - a must for chocolate lovers.
A few years ago our family booked this restaurant for a significant birthday. It was a brilliant night where the staff went above and beyond on every level. At the time I promised I’d write a review. Life continued on and I never got around to it. So I was very pleased when I was offered a return visit this month and even happier to be on the end of another top experience. Consistency your name is Zafferano.
An absolutely awesome place to eat. Another dinner at the best feed in town. Gnocchi with king prawns again was unbelievable. Service was 10 out of 10 so definitely back there in three weeks
Had a great valentines day meal here service was impeccible and the food was delicious and the view was as beautiful as ever looking across the swan
Really lovely experience dining here night, both in regards to food and environment. Dining on the Swan River here is phenomenal and the whole experience is worthwhile. The food portions look as though they could be more generous, but do not be fooled, the dishes are very filling indeed! We ordered a set menu and plan to return for lunch on a Sunday soon.
Nice ambience, beautiful river view, great food! If you're vegan/vegetarian there's a menu specially catered for you with so many options! I went for the vegetarian meal options with my friend and we both chose different ones so that we could try different dishes! The truffle potato was crispy and well baked yet creamy on the inside, the pasta dishes were flavourful without being too cheesy or oily and I loved both the pannacotta and creme brûlée. This place is definitely worth a try for a special occasion.
A great restaurant with one of the best ambience. The staffs were amazing, probably one of the better service we've received in Perth. The food is good as well, be prepared to fork out a bit more but it's decent considering the location. They have a good selection of wine. I'd recommend trying zafferano if you haven't and would like a good night out.

We (4 adults) had the most enjoyable meal at this amazing restaurant.
Booking was easy and the staff friendly and helpful.
Parking (on a Tuesday night at 5:45pm) was very easy and free - just drive in next to the main entrance from Mts Bay Rd heading from the city.
The setting was stunning as the sun set over Matilda Bay with the odd determined sailor still pottering around. Then The Narrows bridge lit up with cars and trains flickering past.
The tables are beautifully set and nicely spaced, with wine coolers in close reach and a quiet, warm ambience.
The staff were polite, attentive-without-harassing and knowledgeable, quietly serving and clearing our meals.
The chowder was to die for, the Flatheads with crumbed asparagus (special) and the peach salad (special) also amazing. Decent portions nicely set with warmed plates.
We enjoyed a gold label Wolf Blass shiraz from an extensive menu, which the staff appeared to have a good knowledge of too.
And we were too full to try desert :( Next time...thank you all!
Definitely recommended for that special occasion.
What an enjoyable dining experience, whilst being seated in the best possible location overlooking Perth city, I was lucky enough to be a guest at an event whereby I was able to try a little taste of a little heaven.
Cocktails are sophisticated and tasty
The wine complimented my delicious barramundi, the after dinner mint tart was the most tantalising dessert That's ever touched my lips.
Thankyou for an incredible dining experience & to the team looking after us that night you were all top class waiters & waitresses who delivered to our demands
Grazie xx
My husband and I made a reservation for our wedding anniversary. We were seated along side the river and pathway. The service from the waiter and waitresses was perfect. Always refilling water, and asking if you'd like more drinks. I had the chowder for entree and honestly it wasn't that great. I've had better. The seafood was good, but the sauce was average. Calamari for husbands entree, delicious and fresh. Main- I had a special, seafood spaghetti, delicious again, full of plenty of seafood! Husband had the duck. Which he said was good. We shared a dessert, caramel decadence... this was a perfect finish. They kindly had the kitchen staff write 'happy anniversary' on the plate with a sparkler. I wouldn't return here however.
This restaurant is incredible! The menu is exquisite and the meals are executed with great talent. Everything is cooked to perfection. Staff are friendly and willing to help. Atmosphere was wonderful. Highly recommend as I could not fault!
Came here with group of 5 of us. Great view, staff attentive and food was great. Sirloin Steak cooked perfectly and great flavour, oysters kilpatrick amazing. Sides all good, although mash could have been a little more creamy, but hint of truffle flavour was great. Not cheap but $100 off with entertainment book, so $90 a head with entree, mains and 2 desserts shared between 5.
A delightful find for lunch today. Delicious fare and superb wine thanks to the Maitre de. Many thanks to the highly trained, professional, and friendly waitress.
Went for dinner on a nice spring night, seated inside, thus the view over the swan river was fantastic. On this night it was perhaps quieter than we expected however this worked well as the noise level was low and made for great ambience. Staff were very attentative which was lovely, and the food was spectacular. Will definitely return in the summer for another lovely evening meal.
If you are considering this restaurant, we would highly recommend it. We have just completed our 38th return visit, that in itself should tell you something, but if you need it pointed out, Ross' culinary skills are up there with the best of them, along with one of the world's premier locations (and yes we have traveled widely), Western Australian produce is some of the finest in the world, add all of those to great service from the staff, we will keep going back.
Wonderful location and ambience. The staff were very attentive and looked after us extremely well. The food was excellent with the seafood being the standout for us. All meals were cooked to perfection and presented very well. The sides were also fantastic. Overall it was a great night out and we'll definitely be returning.
Great venue, with amazing views of the river.
Menu was abit expensive.. I guess that just Perth.
Food was well presented, full of flavor. The steak was beautifully cooked. Found the red emperor abit boring.
The desserts very nice.
Very impressed with the wine.
Staff were very attentive
Overall great venue, great staff, great night.
Another great venue on our Swan River. Chicken caseser salad was delicious along wit the steak which was cooked medium rare as requested. Can be touch and go pending the night due to being highly popular for big groups and functions, the noise wasn't over the top but could be off putting for a romantic occasion
Started with some cocktails. They dirty martinis were great. I had the tasting menu with seafood and beef. Fantastic.! Service was brilliant. Would go back again.
We recently went to Zafferano Restaurant for lunch. Such a beautiful view. The food was fresh and delicious but a touch over priced for lunch we thought. Delicious seafood. Service was good. Would go again. Leave the kids at home.
This place located in the old brewery on mounts bay road has amazing views of the swan river. Food is great. However when we ordered dessert we got the wrong order. We eventually got the dish we ordered. This place super expensive. I think it is way overpriced for the food. On a plus note. They do espresso martinis!
One of those venues you could easily be paying for the view and substandard food. However Zafferano exceeded my expectations and then some.
Best espresso martini ive had in perth.
Mains were veal and seafood pasta special.
The Veal for main was cooked perfectly and the polenta had perfect crunch. Pasta special was loaded with seafood and cooked to perfection in a light sauce. Both were outstanding.
They had a new dessert menu which was really hard to choose from. Tiramisu and the sour cherry chocolate tart were both delectable.
10/10 for food and for service. Our waitress was knowledgeable and attentive without being overbearing. Wonderful evening which we couldn't fault. Will certainly be back!
The views are fantastic and the food, being a lover of seafood, is quite good but not the best. The staff, or at least the waitress who served me, was very polite, friendly and knowledgeable. I intend to return
We went for our daughter's 18th birthday a few days ago. When things go wrong people are quick to jump on social media and criticise, however less inclined to praise.
We wanted to give this restaurant the recognition they deserve - the service was fantastic from start to finish, nice relaxed and friendly whilst still very professional. The food was gorgeous, breads, calamari, duck, crab, crepe suzettes - all were beautifully presented and tasted gorgeous. If you are looking for a beautiful location, great service and memorable food then Zafferano's is the place
Had a beautiful dinner, the service was fantastic and the food was amazing. Would definitely go again!
When they say share the dessert, do it, don't make the mistake and order it for yourself. Chocolate almond royale - delicious but soo very rich.
Amazing food, fantastic service and a gorgeous atmosphere, can't fault this place at all. I wish we could have tried everything because there wasn't one dish we did not thoroughly enjoy. You definitely get what you pay for, would absolutely go here again in a heartbeat. Amazing.
Really good service from all staff!!! For starters I had oysters with cheese / scallops with corn and peas (yummy!) Main lunch was chilli mussels with beetroot / walnuts and cheese salad. Finished off with their pudding! So good?
We came here on a busy Saturday night. We were attended to as soon as we walked through the doors. The atmosphere and setting were great. We ordered entree, mains and dessert and were thoroughly impressed with everything we got. Everything was delicious. The waitress, Zena, was incredibly helpful, informative and friendly. She made great recommendations and appeared highly passionate about the food and restaurant. She told us all about the dishes and the ingredients as well as describing the taste and complementary dishes so accuratly. Overall our experience was unfaultable. Would definitely go back.
I can't believe I have never reviewed this place. I love this place and come here at least once or twice a year. The food is always "excellent" the service is always "excellent" and the view is just "exquisite". Yes the place is a bit expensive, but look at it like this... "I get in a suit to go to dinner and everything will be just perfect... The food, the service, the view." You simply won't find better in Perth. If I could rate this place a 6 out of 5, I would.... If you have a special occasion to take that special someone, this is the place I recommend every time... Every time!
One of my all time favourite places! Great for date night and special occasions. The food, service and atmosphere here is really nice. In summer it gets even better when they open the big doors and the view across the river is amazing. Been here on multiple occasions and I can't complain.
Beautiful venue with a lovely view over the water. Excellent service and good food. I don't think it is overpriced because you are paying for the view and the service. But it is definitely a place you go to for that purpose. If you want amazing food, go somewhere else.
Best gnocchi since the Belaggio. The gnocchi at the place is UNBELIEVABLE!!! So good. They do veggie food right. Nice classy vegetarian dishes. The veggie food isn't just an after thought, they care about making it as good as the meat dishes. The chef makes some awesome hot sauces too.
Always love coming here. Awesome wine list. Just a tip, get your order in before Gina. There's always a wait after she gets hers in.
Absolutely amazing dinner there a few weeks ago on a Tuesday night. Seafood chowder was superb, beef carpaccio stunning and tasty and the rest was fantastic. Service was best we had in ages. Thanks, we will so be back again!
First Anniversary Bliss. Just spent a wonderful evening dining at Zafferanos for our first wedding anniversary. We dined here for my husbands birthday last year and were so impressed that we bought gift vouchers for all of our family. Tonight once again did not disappoint. Excellent service and meals to die for. Every dish we ate tonight was fantastic. Well worth the money for a visit. (Thanks for the lovely service Xena)
Perfect for a special occasion. My partner and I celebrated our anniversary at Zafferano last year and returned again this year because it was so good. The atmosphere is great, the view is beautiful and we received wonderful service on both occasions. It's a bit pricey but I feel it's worth it for a special night out. I ordered the fillet of beef this and it's the best steak I have eaten. Every meal we have ordered has been delicious and perfectly cooked and the wine list is extensive. It is our favourite spot!

Pleasantly surprised. After having a few wedding anniversary lunches and dinners destroyed by certain up-market restaurants who's ability was far less than their own perceptions of what should be delivered, I continued to search for a great venue for lunch. Having heard varying stories about Zafferano's I decided to try it for myself with my wife and we were very pleasantly surprised. It was a Wednesday afternoon, the weather perfect and the place was deserted except for a table of 3.It was a shame it was deserted as atmosphere lacked, but that was all... We were greeted very pleasantly and looked after very well. The lady serving us was friendly, informative but not in your face familiar. The wines and champagne were very reasonably priced and a good selection too. I have to admit I had the best rib-eye steak I have had for a long time and I generally don't chose steak as usually the chef knows best how to cook it but not how I want it. This was a winner all the way. My wife's pink snapper was delicious. Overall a very good lunch that lasted more than a few good hours with lovely wines overlooking the Swan river.. thank you Zafferano for not destroying a precious event in our lives. We will be back.
Delicious food. Amazing service. Beautiful views. So glad we finally tried this iconic perth restaurant
Fussy Diner. Great food and atmosphere :-)
Overpriced for the food you get. Would not go there without a discount card. Service was first class. The lovely lady who served us (European accent, shame we didn't get her name) is an asset to the restaurant. Friendly yet still very professional. Nice setting, overlooking the swan river. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner experience
Had lunch here yesterday (Friday afternoon) it was beautiful. Setting is beautiful, staff were amazing and probably the best wait staff I have had.
we ate red emporia fish with a side of steamed veggies. It was absolutely delicious. desert we had sticky fig and banana pudding - it was also delicious. The only thing I could fault was the noise but that died down after a couple of big groups left.
Expensive - but if you want good good and excellent service in Perth, that is what you pay.
Thank you for a wonderful afternoon
Outstanding!. I regularly dine at high calibre restaurants and this did NOT disappoint! Its classical interior and unsurpassed views were the backdrop to an exquisite and elegant meal. The cuisine is sumptuous, produce driven and unpretentious. The scallops were succulent, steak was meltingly tender and the prawn risotto- creamy, well seasoned and generously topped with large kings! To finish, I chose the delicious strawberry crepe dessert, flambed and assembled near our table. A little showmanship makes one feel special! The entire meal was perfectly crafted by an aware and experienced team. The manager was very pleasant and helpful and the waitstaff, obliging and timely. Zafferanos can certainly continue its claim, amongst Perth's best dining spots! My looooooving and appreciative tastebuds.... highly recommend it!
Excellent. Came here for a Mother's Day dinner and it was amazing. Beautiful views across the river and excellent food. Service is outstanding, without being intrusive. They have a very good wine list and desserts to die for. Although pricey, it's well worth every cent. I look forward to coming back to Zafferano's.
We had our wedding reception at zafferanos on the 16th march. It was unbelievable how good it was, the food is outstanding and the service is above and beyond. I highly recommend zafferanos.all of our guests were amazed at the food and also the amount of choices. Ross and the team at zafferanos, u made our wedding so fantastic, thankyou
Best night for ages. Our daughter and son-in-law had their wedding reception here last Sunday. All our family and friends have raved about what a good night it was, the staff were wonderful, couldn't fault them. We have a few fussy eaters in our family, and we were well catered for. Absolutely delicious, best vegan meal I have had out. We would recommend this place to everyone. Apparently we just missed Mick Jagger too.

Very happy camper!!. Can not understand why the rating is so low- definitely one of the best nights I've had eating out in Perth to date!
Food, wine and service was outstanding!
To start with we had oysters.. AMAZING (natural, kilpatrick and a couple other great variations). The chef's special of chilled avocado and mango crayfish as our shared entrée was light and fresh- perfect for a balmy summers night. Amelia Park Lamb for my main (melt in your mouth..) and another chef special for my partner- the Jumbo Tiger Prawn risotto. Needless to say we had a mini break between mains and dessert to finish our drinks and loosen our belts!!
My partner drank a bottle of the Salitage Chardonnay (although not usually a huge white fan I quite enjoyed a glass of this little number), however I stuck to the cocktail list. The caprioska's and espresso martini's were by far my favourite!
To finish the night off we shared the Turkish Delight Parfait (we were just to full to get a dessert each- not matter how much I wanted to!) PERFECT ending to the evening! Not to sweet with just a hint of turkish delight and pistachios, this light and fluffy dish surprised me and was presented in the most beautiful way!
Although a pricey night all up- taking into account the quality of the food, the location right on the water and the attentive staff who were knowledgeable and helpful with both food and wine selection- it was very well priced (especially with an entertainment card)!
It is not often that you leave a venue trying hard to find a fault- thank you Zafferano for a wonderful evening. I will be back very very soon!
This place is amazing. I was shocked when I saw such a low rating actually)
Been living close by for months and only just tried them tonight.
Was welcomed by the owner, we had a joke about the fact that they are tolerant about dairy and gluten intolerance.
Food is absolutely outstanding, garlic bread, risotto and awesome wine.
I leave with a warm feeling, enjoyed the view and extremely satisfied.
You must try this place
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Warm night on the Swan. Could have easily been ruined, but this place held up well under scrutiny. Wonderful venue with a slightly modern, upmarket Itlian vibe. Buzzy, but not noisy like the brewery next door. We had a table outside on the veranda. White lanterns appropriately dressed staff. I kept waiting for the shoe to drop. The food was excellent. We both started with the seafood chowder. It was fresh and held the right balance of flavor. I had the Chorizo pasta as a main and was impressed that the chorizo was beatifully spiced and properly cooked (as in not overcooked or dry). My partner asked for his snapper to be deep fried instead of grilled and was given his main exactly as it should be...beautifully flakey inside. I could wonder through a description of the wonderfully crips wine, fresh side dishes and fabulously stuffed cheese tray he had for desert, but I think I'll tease you with the real, honestly...I wouldn't kid you...Tiramisu (something I have been searching high and low for in this town). Trying hard to find some form of critisism? It would have to be that the servers were just a bit too attentive. But all in all...we will be coming back!
A busy and blisteringly Christmas Friday and so may places booked out. Our group had to leave the appalling Raffles Hotel, and Zafferano accommodated us at the last minute, with a table outside but in full shade. The staff were wonderful, service efficient and the food terrific. Thank you for turning a potential disaster into something great.

Outstanding. My husband and I went for dinner and were wowed by the setting, the service, the decor and definitely the food and wine. Our waitress Kristin was spectacular, present without being overbearing and made insightful recommendations. She brought the proprietor over to recommend wine for our meal and although an expensive bottle, I was more than happy to pay the price for the most beautiful Chardonnay I've had in years. It was a special evening, the table side crepe Suzette was a delight and all the staff were wonderful. Well worth the spend.
A night to remember. Had our wedding reception there back in June 2013 and it was really a night to remember. Everyone love the food, atmosphere and service was excellent :)
My partner took me here for my birthday recently. Lovely romantic setting with beautiful views of the city from across the river. Delicious meals! We had a side of breads & Carpaccio, a main of barramundi and salmon & desert of pecan and butterscotch tart & chocolate pudding & we would highly reccomend them all :) the table service was brilliant, very friendly waiters and waitresses. Unfortunately I can't say the same for the front of house who after paying $300 on food and wine, didn't even acknowledge us leaving. Other than that, fabulous place!
My fiance took me here for my birthday last night. The service, food and atmosphere were incredible. Neither of us went home hungry like we have in the past at other restaurants. Our waitress made me a sangria even though it isn't on the menu and it was one of the best sangria I have had so far. It was her first time time making one too I was very impressed. I had the Amelia park lamb and my fiance had the seafood plate and both were fantastic. We would definitely go here again it is definitely worth the money. We paid $350 inc a tip and we got a bottle of moet, sangria, garlic bread, two mains, one side and a cheese plate to share for dessert. I understand what some people are saying about the lighting but it was perfect for what we were there for.
Amazing service fantastic food little pricey but its definitely worth it
Very good seafood! We Had the seafood platter and king prawn pasta. A bit pricey, but overall a good meal. The waitress looking after us was very attentive.
Lovely atmosphere, fantastic service and a wonderfully diverse menu. Really impressed by this place, get out there.
One of the best experience for wedding reception I've been. Staffs are happy, accomodating and very attentive. Special mention to Steven who eve makes the effort to ensure that the little kids play safely in the alfresco area. Food are tasty, well presented and just the right temperature. Great team you have! Definitely the place to recommend
Simply gorgeous. I was lucky enough to be taken here for dinner last night (a Wednesday). It was very quiet, only one other couple, but this did not dampen the wait staffs' attentions. We were great by a lovely Scottish man and given our choice of tables, right at the windows overlooking the Swan and city. Everything on the menu was enticing. I settled on the Calamari and my hubby on the daily special of the Dhu fish.
So so so delicious!! Excellent wine, attentive staff and we were even complimented with a free port each at the end of our meal. We used our Entertainment Card, but luckily they did not scratch it, so we will definitely be back!!
I don't know why the rating is only 60%. It is a gorgeous restaurant in a beautiful location with amazing food and staff.
Awesome views, great food, excellent wait staff. Couldn't have asked for any better!

An evening to remember!. So, last Saturday night was Good Daughter Day and I decided to treat my folks to dinner... and it didn't disappoint!
We got to the restaurant through the brewery eventually found ourselves in a very romantic looking restaurant! The maitre'd immediately came over to greet us with a smile and commented that we came in through the "secret" entrance! Love it!
We were ushered to our table (at a window) and were immediately offered our choice of water and a wine list and I decided to choose the Howard Park Flint Rock Pinot Noir (Mt Barker) to start with.
I commented to the maitre'd on how good the Pinot Noir was and she recommended another wine that she had tasted at a previous Zafferano tasting event - the Forrest Hill Highbury Fields Cabernet/Merlot (South Australia). Her enthusiasm in the telling of this experience definitely led to my decision to try the Forrest Hill red next!
I kind of went a bit crazy when we ordered (I just wanted to try everything!), but we chose to each have a Rockefeller oyster, the Seafood Chowder (which the kitchen so kindly split into 3 bowls for us so we could all try it), and the Carpaccio - and it was all SO GOOD! I'm a big fan of chowder and theirs is creamy and rich, but you don't feel like it's so rich that you can't have more than a few spoonfuls!
For our mains we enjoyed the Braised Amelia Park Beef Cheeks with parmesen gnocchi (OMG YUM!) and the Seafood Plate, which had beautifully cooked prawns, perfectly seared scallops, flaky fish fillet and gorgeous little calamari fingers - DELICIOUS!
I couldn't go past the Broccolini and Asparagus with a Macadamia Nut and Parmesan Crumble, Mash with truffle oil (I just couldn't resist!) and dad loves potatoes, so we had to get the Hand Cut Chips too!
Mum and dad were pretty full, but when we walked in, we saw they had a crepe station set up! Mum was like "I'm so full! Just a coffee." but I convinced her to have the Flambé Crepe Suzette (YAY!)
The owner wheeled the station over to our table, and started to make our crêpe Suzette. You really wouldn't want to be self-conscious, because all eyes were on him whilst he was making our crepes! Gotta love the flambé part; it's so impressive! Equally impressive was their Butterscotch Creme Brulee!
Suffice to say, we walked out feeling VERY satisfied with every part of our experience at Zafferano... will definitely be going back!
Love this place. We love this place for the view, but it also has beautiful food and great service!
Redeemed. Went to Zafferano approx 13 months ago and had a shocking experience. For the first time in our lives, we emailed through a complaint. The complaint was handled perfectly by the manager and he responded to everything we commented upon and said they were going thru a transitional period.
Recently we returned upon request by the manager and were completely astounded by the change. A different restaurant greeted us. Service was great where before is was lacklustre, the food was wonderful where before it was bland and left too long under the heat lamps and the entire experience was vastly improved.
I really appreciate when a restaurant turns it around like this and would recommend the 'new Zafferano' to my friends.
Great river view. My wife and I came here especially for the view, enjoyed the night, food a little expensive but expected that.
Certainly try the Expresso Martini, or two.
thanks
Delicious. So my parents are meeting my girlfreinds parents for the first time and im thinking - I have enough to be worried about except the food like, will our dads punch on or our mums get too p1ssed and stack it but I am happy to say that the night was fantastic. Beautiful location on the river. Friendly, competent wait staff and the meals huge and tasty. Worth the price. We will return, though without the parent.
Thurs 28th Feb I organised a function for 20 at Zafferanos. From the moment we arrived we were not disappointed, drinks were ready to go and the wait staff were hot on glasses that needed topping up. We were seated to 2 tables of 10 with beautiful views across the river. I had arranged for set menu option 1to be served on the night and it was just as delicious (if not more so) as it sounded on paper. The food was just sensational and the portions were generous!
Overall we had a fabulous evening with a wonderful setting, beautiful food and impeccable service! In fact my manager has been back twice since and it's only been just over a week!
Thank you staff at zafferanos, it was perfect!
Pricey, but you are paying for an AMAZING location. We had the best seat available outside on a balmy summers night with a beautiful skyline to admire. Food definitely wasn't WOW as it was fairly generic (as such a restaurant has must be to please the masses) but it was done well & was delicious. We were also lucky to have great service. One of the few fine dining restaurants in Perth that still offers some privacy for couples to have a romantic dinner. Definitely recommend Zaffereno to others.
OK BUT HAVE HAD BETTER SERVICE. I have had better service, the Staff were friendly but slow.
Had to ask for Wine several times.
Food is good, but have had better.
View is HEAVEN.
Yes I would go back, but I know what to expect now, so would pick my times perhapse.
There are only a handful of eateries in Perth which take full advantage of their location on the river or the beach. Zafferano is up there with the best. Great location; easy access to parking; then when you finally make an entrance through the old Swan Brewery you are greeted with great attentive customer service, good wine list and a selection of tasty well plated food. We had a great dining experience once again. This time for our anniversary. Thank you to front and back-of-house for a wonderful lunch. Will definitely be back.
A Lovely Meal. I was really impressed with Zafferano. The ambience and the view is perfect, very romantic. Staff were attentive and friendly. I ordered the Amelia Park Lamb and it was the best lamb I think I’ve ever eaten. The portion sizes are also quite generous so I was quite happy to pay a bit more for the food and an all round enjoyable experience. Will be back again.
I went here for dinner. As a celiac I absolutely loved how well they looked after me. The food was amazing. Atmosphere was lovely. Great staff.
Excellent night - Guide Dog friendly. We enjoyed excellent service and a very well prepared meal at Zafferano. The seafood plate was delicious. The staff were very welcoming to our guide dog in training.
Great degustation with matching wines. This dinner was fantastic. Vases felix showcased their new vintages and the food pairings were spot on. I have never visited and ordered a la carte so i cant comment on that, but for this event it was Good service, lovely atmosphere, great food and wine. Finally a $100+ /head meal that I wasn't disappointed with here in Perth.
Pricey but very good gruel. Fillet was tender and the oysters were fresh from the gullet. Service was excellent and the nocturnal view of Perth was fantastic. No complaints. TBM
Pricey but excellent quality. My partner and I dined here on a Saturday night to celebrate a refund from the tax man. It was well needed as it doesn't come cheap, but the Entertainment book voucher helped. The food quality was excellent though with my partner having oysters and a full lobster and I had some prawns (good size and quantity) and the beef cheeks with Gnochi which were delicious. Certainly a restaurant for special occasions, but the food, wine, service and ambience were all of the highest quality.
Bowers Family. Impressive location by the Swan River, candle lit tables adds a romantic touch, perfect for an intimate evening. The owner greeted us with warmth and made us feel welcome. The staff were very attentive and friendly and we did not feel rushed or pressured to order. The staff had great knowledge of their menu and extensive wine list.
The Chef's special of whiting fillets was a big hit, a good serving of delicately crumbed fillets. The beef cheeks are to die for, very tender.
A very pleasant experience. Highly recommend this restaurant to visitors to Perth and locals because the location and food is outstanding. Thanks for a good night.
Amazing location, attentive staff, gorgeous food, a tad pricey however you pay for the ambiance and experience
We spent the day there!. Sometimes you just need to do it. Went for breakfast as guests of our friends. The four of us settled in joked about having a look at the lunch menu, yes, we were tempted and stayed. The beef cheeks were excellent and the seafood chowder was creamy and delicious. The conversation raised the topic of who of the four of us had ever stayed at a restaurant for three meals in a day, none of the four of us had so the challenge was on. Dinner was great and my Dhufish wings to die for! Smiles all round. We will be back.
Have had both dinner and breakfast here and both were delicious! Have had great staff and good food. The breakfast is very well priced and the French toast is to die for! Love the breakfasts here!
Lovely. Went to Zafferano's and after reading some of the reviews I was a bit dubious. I had the duefish with mushroom risotto which was lovely and the service was extremely good. Would definately go again but during the day so that the lovely view of the river can be taken full advantage of.
Very impressing. Fantastic view, delicious food and ok service!
Good food. bad service. We ate the steak and lamb, cooked well. Very enjoyable.
Lovely view.
Had every waitstaff possible serve us at some point during the night... was very inconsistent. Because of this our meals went to other tables and there was constant confusion throughout the night.
Cocktails were pricey but enjoyable.
Good find !. Food was tasty, not amazing but nice!
cheapest turkish bread i have seen on a menu for a long time $9.50. You pay close to $20 in most bars/pubs and its served straight out of a tin/jar.
attentive service! amazing views !
only complaint ..bread that came with the ceasar salad was stale.
Excellent, service was very good. Appetizer, main course and dessert were prepared and served beautifully. The service was not rushed and was attentative. The wine selection was delightful blend of domestic and foreign wines.

A "Perth" fine dining experience. Well.... we made it back to Zafferano after many years and I can say it certainly has improved since last time.
Unfortunately, the last time we dined there as part of a large table of friends and the ordering (and the final bill) got quite out of hand. As such is was a very expensive night out with very little of the fine dining experience to remember. I cant blame the restaurant for that.
Note to self: fine dining restaurants are best enjoyed at a table for two, not as part of the large work xmas party, or boys night out...
So, last Friday night we returned to Zafferano as a couple and it was much better. It was a perfect Perth night with the doors and windows open, and a lovely cool breeze blowing. We sat and watched the yachts on the river and enjoyed the ambience all night.
We made an early booking and the initial service was a little rushed (asking for our orders before we had been able to open the menu). We noted that the restaurant was set with many large tables and obviously they were in a hurry to get us through so they could deal with the large groups that night.
The food was quite good and definitely up to a fine dining standard, but again (for Perth) the fine dining service experience was a little underwhelming. Unfortunately, the age of the waitresses was youngish and I would expect that their level of training and experiences of fine dining may be a little lacking. Waitresses mis-pronouncing and not understanding items listed on the menu, or not being able to correctly pour the wine are quite acceptable at cafe dining places, but when you charge fine dining prices, you should provide the complete fine dining experience.
We enjoyed the evening and were happy with the final account, so will probably go back again for a special night out in the future.
Amazing views, has a great atmosphere. Good service. The food is simply fantastic. The seafood platter was a winner. The scallops were the best ever - cooked to perfection.
Living in the 80s. Decor and menu took me straight back to the 80's. All white meditteranean tiles, daggy menu and an obsession with combining fruit and fish. I mean stone fruit chutney with the seafood platter? Huh?
Anyway, I did have a lovely dhufish with tabbouleh and feta. Not really a tabbouleh as I couldn't find the burghul - it was mostly parsley - but pleasant nonetheless. Beautiful piece of fish.
Shared part of a prawn and mango (see - 80s!) salad. Prawns were mushy and underseasoned. Not great.
Service was excellent. Very attentive (and tolerant) throughout our VERY long lunch. This is what tipped this retro overpriced establishment into the 'like it' category for me. Won't be back in a hurry but wouldn't run a mile from it either.
Service was perfect. All staff were welcoming and attentive ( even though we had a voucher). We had a table overlooking the river so perfect location. Food was delicious. While the price is above average for a main meal it is well worth it due to the quality, taste and generous portion size. While this is a 'fancy' restaurant the ambience was relaxed and friendly. Unlike other similar tier restaurants that can make you feel uncomfortable or out of place. Highly recommended!
Pricey but good. All the food over here reminds me of masterchef on tV
beautiful presentation and excellent taste ,so many flavors in all dishes but all so well mixed .
And it got millions dollars sea view to boot ..if you got a special occassion to celebrate and and a fat wallet . definitely go here
We had a beautiful lunch. The food was fantastic, but the service could have been better.
I liked zafferano.you have to try the chowder for entre and the donuts for desert. Pricey but worth it for a special occasion.
Fine dining at it's best. Service,food & surroundings create such a fabulous dining experience. Seafood & dessert is simply the best!
Great Food but pricey. Had a great meal on Sunday. Great spot and really nice food. Seafood platter was really nice, fresh and sweet tasting. They boys ordered rib eye steaks wich were also cooked well (although pretty fatty). Great spot for a sunday afternoon. The only draw-back is the cost of meals as well as the wine price. Really expected a bit more for the prices being charged.
Great place for food and views. Reading some of the negative reviews for Zaffs I wonder if some of these critics misunderstand fine dining restaurants. Zafferano is an exceptional restaurant, expensive yes but that's the price of the view and the exceptional service. Never been disappointed or had a bad meal here. Overseas guests and clients were impressed. Compare Zafferano with similar in Sydney if you think its pricey and pretentious.
I expected this restaurant to just be pretentious. It was but the service was fantastic. First class meal. Amazing view. Despite all I'd heard about this place I was thoroughly impressed!
