Main restaurant
Such is Daphne’s enduring appeal that its tables are filled & refilled every night, as waves of Chelsea socialisers soak up its vintage charms. Inside, the animated dining room is split into three areas, each with biscuit-coloured walls, white napery & a decidedly Roman feel. Foodwise, this true professional never puts a foot wrong: a standout starter of butter-soft octopus, potatoes & capers comes with all the flavour but none of the scars of the grill, while homemade ravioli might be stuffed with rich, meaty veal & served in a full-flavoured gravy. Save room for dessert: highlights include booze-laden tiramisu & moist, dense orange & hazelnut cake with mascarpone. With its diverse regional wine list & a queue of regulars exhorting its ‘outstanding food & service’, Daphne’s leaves other Italians in the area trailing in its wake.
Travel to Daphne's in style with London's leading minicab firm Addison Lee.
