    Had a great meal with my two sisters. Lovely food and great service. Did not rush us, and were patient when we took ages to order 😀. Both sisters commented on the stylish, clean ladies. 👍

    Great hosts and restaurant. The food was delicious and the staff was very courteous and helpful. I highly suggest visiting The Cavaliere. They even have an area for larger groups. I love this restaurant and would book again.
