Have recently discovered this superb local Italian restaurant just south of Finsbury Park. Owner and chef Antonio (a welcoming and lovely man) runs his restaurant in a traditional manner, with delicious food served in a calm and delightful setting. A wonderful place to linger over fine food and a bottle of wine.
A really warm welcome received from the friendly owner and delicious homemade pasta. This restaurant is very reasonably priced compared to others in the area.
A good Italian menu and excellent food. Vegetables are in season and freshly prepared. The selection of deserts (if one can manage one) is limited but real 'home cooking'. Very approachable and friendly owners
This is by far the best tasting Italian I have had. And I have had many. The service here is also great. Il Cavaliere is an intimate spot with a very personable environment and the owner is a fantastic host.
Very friendly place to eat, all the food was cooked fresh for us by the owner and the staff were all helpful. We had the match day menu and nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely go there again.
The dishes were authentic and we enjoyed them. A bit too salty to our liking - not sure if that's just how italian dishes are.
