I've been here several times . Staff is very friendly. The Risottos are a very good selection I recommend that. And the creme brûlée by far the best I've tried in town.
The food is good but not any better than any other premium Italian restaurant. And premium it is. Five of us ate for $400 with drinks and tip. Somewhat steep which would be okay if the meal was spectacular. That it wasn't.
Zafferano's is a great restaurant with amazing food accompanied with a nice atmosphere. I came here with a group of 11 for my boyfriend's birthday and everyone was happy with their food. Their pasta dishes were absolutely to die for. I personally tried Rigatoni Peperonata, Gnocchi Mar Rosso (beet gnocchi, when I read about this I had second thoughts, but after I talked to the server about it I decided to give it a try, and boy I'm glad I did. It's a regular potato based gnocchi with a hint of beet flavour that adds this extra something else) and Fettuccine al tartufo (the hint of black truffle was divine). In terms of the dessert, the Tiramisu was alright (a little too much espresso and liquidy for my taste) but the Skor cake was a definite winner. I will definitely come back to this place and on the PLUS side, they take reservations on Saturday nights!
Their pizza was unbelievable! Very authentic!
It's a shame I don't live nearby, I'm in love!
A Place suitable for a special occasion, special date or client! High end atmosphere, service and food. Check the photos I posted. Not a lot of good places in Woodbridge, they seem to all be in strip malls.

This is BY FAR my favourite Italian restaurant in Vaughan!!! I have been to several..and being Italian you can say that my expectations are quite high!! At Zafferano I am always thrilled with whatever dish I order..and might I add the selection of starters..salads...pasta..pizza..fish..meat..and dessert is plentiful! (My last visit I had the carrot cheesecake for dessert, it was out of this world fantastic!) If you want an authentic Italian meal, you MUST come here! The waiters are so helpful and the chef is always willing to accommodate people with special dietary needs, the best he can without ruining the dish. Of course if you just show up, it can be a bit of a wait because it is a super popular restaurant. Make reservations and even when you do, still arrive a bit earlier just because they get so busy...but that is a good thing!!! It shows you how fantastic this restaurant is and how people like me keep on going back for more and more and more! No one that I have recommended this restaurant to has EVER been disappointed so it's about time I leave my review here. I'm going this Friday and I can't wait!!! :)
Good atmosphere, food is delicious and reasonably priced, staff was friendly. Will definitely be returning.
Excellent Atmosphere. Attentive staff, reasonable pricing, quality meal for not a lot of money. Bruschetta had just the right amount of olive oil and diced tomatoes. Delicious. The seared Trout was absolutely divine. Very tasty & filling. Cooked to perfection.
Moulton dessert was heavenly. Heated enough to melt the chocolate, cool enough to savor the flavor.
It's not very often I enjoy a meal in Woodbridge. This one certainly did.
Amazing Food. This is the best Italian restaurant in town by far. The portions are generous and the pasta is always fresh. Our favourite dish is their grilled clamari. The calamari is always fresh and cooked perfectly. Any pasta dish we ordered was always good and we tried most of the dishes on the menu. We also indulged in the fish special many times and were never disappointed. I love eating here.
There is no other restaurant in Woodbridge that is as fantastic as Zafferano. From the moment you walk in to the moment you leave, the service, the food, and the atmosphere is nothing shy of top notch. Our weekly dinners usually consist of going to Zafferano one to two times a week simply because it's great! It's just like eating at Nonnas house every week and it's just around the corner. Lastly, we can't forget the staff; no other restaurant that I've been to greets their staff with a warm welcome as do the ones at Zafferano. Mike, Donaldo, Gianpaol, and all the others are fantastic and make each and every visit spectacular! So if you have yet to visit Zafferano...what are you waiting for? You'll end up being just as frequent as me.
We had a great dinner out here this week! Service was fantastic, atmosphere was on point and the food was really great. We got 3 salads and 2 apps and were so impressed with the salads they were super filling, and very tasty and dressed well (important for salads!) We also had 3 pasta's and a pizza and dessert, all which were really great! Will definitely be going back.
We had a great time at Zafferano, the restaurant itself has stunning interior & a great bar! We ordered a couple things from their menu and instantly fell in love with the quality of their food. We got to try the Zafferano pizza, Salmone Alle Griglia, Burratina, & the Linguine Tutto Mare E Monti! We also got to try a couple drinks that were incredible to watch while the bartender crafted them! It’s seriously a great spot to bring your friends and family to - the atmosphere of this place is really nice.
Our first time here and everything was amazing, the great customer service, delicious food. Beautiful atmosphere, great wine menu. highly recommend this place.

Although we booked a table we still had to wait 40mins. No drinks were offered during this wait so I bought my own bottle house wine. Food was good and main server is great to rescue his mistake to serve both appetizer and main at the same time. He offered us all a shot. But the other servers were not experienced and spilled a bunch of items on me. Yes on me. No remedy then. When the bill came, they overcharged but quickly fixed the issue. Might need to avoid crazy crowded nights in the future.
All four of us loved our meals, very tasty & the menu had lots of choices. We all agreed we would go back. The only downfall was the noise level but it was a very busy place (the good ones usually are). One guest had the special (pictured) & loved it
