    We loved this little casual Italian place. Great food, drinks, and vibes with the live music! We received great service from our waiter Alexis. He was attentive and energetic, which really brings the whole experience together. Will for sure be returning!

    We always try to make a visit to Cavatore when in Houston. We don’t get there often but when we do it has always been excellent! The table side Cesare salad is the best.  Service has always been supreme. This visit was no exception.

    A lovely restaurant that has been in Houston since 1980. The food is very consistent, I love the veal Marsala. The snapper is also delicious. Great knowledgeable service. Easy parking.

    The food was absolutely delicious! We started with the table side made Caesar salad. It’s a must have here. For our main dishes we had the Pollo Rollatini and the Gamberi Della Casa. Both incredible and would order again and highly recommend. Bracie our waitress was wonderful and sweet. We look forward to coming back. Thank you
