作为在意大利带过5年的人,我可以负责任的说这家餐厅是非常正宗的意大利食物,服务人员也非常的细心友好! 这个容易被忽略的意大利家庭式餐厅,是我最近在伦敦最惊喜的发现! 价位适中 大家千万不要错过!! Ravioli 一定要点 panna cotta 是我最喜欢的甜点 我和结伴的朋友们都很享受在这里的时光

I reserved a table and got confirmation that it was reserved. However, when we turned up at the restaurant it was closed. And looked like it had gone out of business. Later the same night the owner called and apologized for not having opened for the day.

this place should be far more popular than it is. Only negative is that the lighting is far too bright and could be turned down.

We were first to arrive in the restaurant at 7.45 and were the only ones there until we left at 10.00. However, despite the lack of other diners the atmosphere was warm. The food was excellent apart from the vegetables which obviously had been in cold storage. That was understandable that they were not freshly cooked bearing in mind we were the only ones there. Service was fine - friendly and efficient and the profiteroles were a work of art.

I went on an Arsenal match night - they have a good match day menu - normally it is full on match days and you need to book but this was a cup match so the place was not as full. the food was delicious and the service was warm and friendly .

Food took a while because there was only 1 guy serving and cooking! Food was ok nothing special, but i guess maybe thats because they were understaffed... not sure whether I'd try again to find out...

Good food - but the evening was spoilt by extremely poor service. Very disappointing considering the good reviews previously posted about this restaurant. We will not be going there again.

Nice friendly restaurant - busy on match days. Food reasonable standard but vegetables very overcooked or perhaps prepared in bulk and kept warm. Service was a little slow on our visit but it was nearly full to be fair.

One of the best Italian restaurants I've been to in London. The food was wonderful and authentic. The owner/chef couldn't have done more to make our evening special. What a great find.

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.

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 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.
