    Usually the food at the Cavaliere is excellent, but when we ate there lunchtime 5th Sept the minestrone soup had very little flavour or vegetables, and the bruschetta was soggy.

    We really enjoyed our meal here. The food , and many of the staff, are authentically Italian. There was plenty of choice including weekly specials for all courses. Thé restaurant was quite busy but not overrun and service was quick and efficient as well as being friendly and knowledgable. The portion sizes are generous and there is a good selection of wines, beers and cocktails. Would recommend.

    Excellent and authentic Italian dishes. My Ravioli and the sauce it came with was much admirable. It was unique. My family enjoyed it as well. Service was nice and quick. Would definitely recommend having a dinner, if you like Italian dishes. Btw, they have Pizza as well on front end, if you wish to take it home, along with other displayed items.
