Zaffronia Grill is Westport’s latest restaurant casualty.
I’m embarrassed to say I don’t know the type of cuisine it served. I never heard anyone talk about it, never saw it advertised — perhaps that was part of its problem. I don’t know when it arrived, or when it left.
Right now it’s one more dark space — across the street from the long-running but now long-gone Peppermill. The 2 storefronts next to Zaffronia — Westport Delicatessen and Shanghai Gourmet — are still open, despite a dozen or so delis and Chinese places within a half mile or so.
Good luck to all those spots. I would not want to own a restaurant — of any kind — in Westport today.
I never went there but I’ve heard about it. It served Iranian food
Too bad more of us didn’t check it out.
You missed a good one, it was awesome Persian food, huge servings and very delicious. They made a lamb shank that was to die for.
it was quite good and unusual , sry to see it go, the restaurant business is so tough here now
Zaffornia had excellent food. I will crave it forever now.
