Daphnes is by far the best italian restaurant in SW London! The food is always 10/10 we try to go atleast once a month. It’s great for date night, lunch with the girls, special occasions and they have a great event space in the courtyard. The crab linguine is the best pasta dish in london! Highly highly recommend!

Lovely decor of pastel colors set the tone for a buoyant evening. Appetizers of tiger prawns with chili, garlic and parsley and baked aubergine with tomato and mozzarella were delicious as well as the chargrilled veal chop entree. The waitstaff was professional and courteous. We will definitely return!

The dining room was warm and the enthusiastic conversations of others were such that we could not really enjoy talking with our guest and therefore really enjoy the experience. Food was good and service was attentive. If you enjoy this type of atmosphere it would be great. Beautiful restaurant.

Food & Service was fantastic but our table of 2 was surrounded by large groups , they were very noisy and our experience this time was disappointing. The restaurant needs to start placing larger parties together, this would allow smaller parties to enjoy there meal in a quieter setting.

We had a meal here for our daughters 21st. The food was acceptable but not outstanding. the service was good. We were, however, extremely disappointed that not even a small gesture of a happy birthday was made even though I had informed them ahead of time. Overall, a standard night out disappointingly. We were expecting a lot more

Great Sunday evening meal at Daphne’s. Scallops and prawns were fantastic and the pasta was brilliant too. Brilliant service and ambience. All the better for not having a resident DJ blasting loud music out like at the other Caprice collection restaurants these days! Must visit more often.
