Cavallino is a beautiful venue. What strikes you, as well as the lovely building as you approach, is the attractively patterned tiled floor and the surroundings. The lovely stone walls and outside décor is impressive and so too is the inside. The décor is striking with a lot of horse memorabilia - as Cavallino means horsey or pony. The feeling is almost as if you are walking into a museum. It was lovely walking around and seeing all the different artefact's. There is also a spectacular wood fire pizza oven. Take some time to walk around and take in all that Cavallino has to offer. The atmosphere is relaxing with a air of sophistication but not at all pretentious. Couples and families were enjoying themselves and there were also people celebrating birthdays.
We ordered this fabulous cold selection which states on the menu is for 2-4 people. As there were four of us this was ideal. The presentation was fresh and very appetising. There was a tasty variety of cured meats, cheese and olives. Anti Pasta Misto is a great sharing plate and these were clearly very popular. A bottle of Chianti (a favourite) went down very well with our very tasty starter.
The Prosciutto e funghi pizza was a very flavoursome pizza. The tomato, mozzarella, ham and mushroom were certainly plentiful and very tasty. Mlady loves a good pizza crust. It is so important to have a good crust as well of course as having a great topping and this crust really was good!
The La Zucca pizza is made up of tomato, mozzarella, roast pumpkin, Italian sausage and goat's cheese. This was a great combination. It is interesting to try different combinations and the La Zucca - having roast pumpkin - which Mlady loves - was a winner. This again, was a generously topped pizza with great flavours and with that all important good pizza crust - bellissimo!
A quickish lunch at Cavallino turned out to be extremely enjoyable. They have some lovely food there, a pleasant atmosphere and good service too. We'd gladly come back some day to try their evening menu.
