Amazing experience! Went here for my 30th birthday and had a great time. If you’re looking for quality Italian food with great prices, come to Zafferano. It’s a secret gem in Vaughan that’s great for date night and any other event you may have in mind.

Why fly to Italy when you can go to Zafferano? Looking forward to go back to try their other dishes. Very nice ambiance; perfect for a celebration or take a special someone ;)

I planned my mother’s 80th birthday dinner party at Zafferano Ristorante! Amazing experience with a private area. They readily worked around what I wanted to make the night special. With the delicious appetizers and delicious food and great service. Thank you for making it a memorable night!

Delicious food overall, appetizers, mains and dessert. Quite the busy place and we had some issues with service, but it in no way deterred us from the overall enjoyment of our dinner, apart from the lukewarm hot beverages. Big thanks to the chef for making delightful meals.

An Unforgettable Evening at Zafferano Ristorante Last night, we had the pleasure of celebrating two of our family members at Zafferano Ristorante. Although we're not from Toronto and had never been to this restaurant before, our friends had booked a large section of the venue for over 30 guests—so we really didn’t know what to expect. What followed was nothing short of amazing. We started the evening with some beautifully crafted cocktails. The drinks were delicious, and our waiter was quick to offer creative twists on our usual favourites—setting the tone for the night ahead. When it came time to sit down for dinner, the experience only got better. They kept bringing out plate after plate until we could barely move! The food was phenomenal: every dish was full of flavour, perfectly served at the right temperature, and visually stunning. A special shoutout to our waiter, Alex. He was outstanding—attentive without being intrusive, always ensuring our glasses were full and that every new course arrived with perfect timing. It was an incredible night and the perfect way to kick off our vacation. We left with full stomachs, happy hearts, and memories we’ll talk about for a long time.
