Was looking forward to coming here being a local resident all my life in enfield always went past this place and thought we would try it and a relative has been coming here alot too for years. Unfortunately ordered a margarita which was exactly like a kebab shop pizza which is a disgrace itself being half italian myself this is offensive alone it was too thick full of dough and the cheese was same flavour as a kebab shop pizza topping Unbelievable. Secondly was the mussels they smelt overly fishy like a womans drawers been used for a month 🤢🤮 that is ammonia itself and very dangerous so i said no take it away but the guy was trying to guarantee they were fresh which to my knowledge being a italian myself i have been to many trattorias in napoli and amalfi and never do they produce this kind of food smelling like this , Dont get me wrong this is england and produce is different however this is not how mussels are. Seafood or shellfish should never smell that fishy Ever PERIOD!!! Thirdly garlic bread was like a hot cross bun sliced in half with a bit of garlic on it but not going to complain too much about it. And lastly the scaloppine milanese was very dry as if it was pre done veal should be moist and juicy but overall very disappointed with the outcome the staff were nice enough though just wished they could understand as an establishment im not the only one with the same reviews on their food but then again alot of westerners dont understand real italian food so will settle for this kind of quality food and think its...
Read moreLively and busy on a Wednesday evening in Enfield, so they must be doing something right! We had a great evening celebrating my birthday....the restaurant was buzzing which made for a great atmosphere. The guys who work at the restaurant keep things moving nicely without rushing you, and are very friendly and the owner is always whizzing around making sure everything is okay. Food was great, and the menu offers a wide range of Italian options from pasta and pizza through to meat and fish dishes. I had Huevo Al Plato to start, which was a delicious mix of baked egg, cheese, chorizo and mushrooms in a tomato sauce, followed by a Piccante Pizza....which was also fantastic. It is a true testament that this place has been going solid since 1977, and it's easy to see why....it is always busy, and they have stayed true to their roots with a great menu and delicious food.....and the prices are very reasonable....was pleasantly surprised at the bill for x6 people eating starters and mains plus drinks, which I felt was good value for lovely freshly cooked food! So if you haven't tried La Caverna, then stick it on your list....you...
Read moreFirst and last time of visiting. Shambolic service. Rude staff. One starter out of 5 wrong and 3 mains out of 6 wrong. One meal had a hair embedded in it. We told the waiter he snapped "impossible, chef is bald" No sorry no nothing. Same waiter visibly crossed himself everytime he came to the table. The owner came with the bill at the end, plonked it down and then said to a member of our party "its been 4 years since you last came , we haven't missed you a bit. You always complain". We were gobsmacked as it was untrue and said is this how you treat your customers?. Owner told us very clearly he didnt care. Restaurant is very dated, quite shabby and dirty with very limited food and drinks menu. 2 other independent Pizza places just a few doors away will...
