A hearty, family-run Italian restaurant set in the picturesque village of Finchingfield. Taking inspiration from Italian and Sicilian cuisine, the menu features authentic classics like fresh fish dishes, pizza and fresh pasta.
The interiors combine a simple elegance with a comforting, Italian family feel, making it a great spot for a family-friendly meal out.
Before you start, nibble on olives and ciabatta and sip on a glass of wine to transport you to the sunny climates of Italy. A starter of bruschetta or gorgonzola and walnut ravioli is sure to kick your meal off to a great start. With fresh ingredients, a light trio of bruschetta will boost your Italian cravings, ready to dive into a traditional main course.
The question is: pizza, pasta or meaty main? It really is a difficult decision. The seafood stew is definitely one for fish lovers with a range of seafood served with linguine in a silky broth, infused with saffron and herbs. The team elevates a simple steak with your choice of sauce – either a simple pepper, cheesy gorgonzola or the intriguing diavola chorizo tomato and chilli (be prepared for a good kick of heat!).
If you need a recommendation, Zafra’s ravioli is so popular that it draws back customers time and time again. Mushroom ravioli comes served in a creamy mushroom sauce and topped with chicken and bacon, while grilled salmon gets a bed of spinach and ricotta ravioli with a limone sauce.
If you don’t fancy any of those options then a 12” thin and cripsy pizza is sure to get your tastebuds tingling. Classic margherita, vegetarian and spicy meat pizzas make timeless favourites in terms of Italian comfort food. Zafra also offers a Sardinian-inspired pizza with pepperoni, artichoke and a creamy gorgonzola topping.
