I Cavallini

“Hard to find anything wrong here. If you didn't know that this place is the sister to FH, you could probably figure out on your visit. The interior is beautiful, warm, and a little quickly. We enjoyed every dish we ordered. The focaccia is a must, the bluefin tuna curation (special) was great, and though I don't normally care for them, the best beets I've ever had. The farfallone was rich, spicy, and deep and the gnochetti was layered and balanced. Of course, as expected all of their wines are delicious but do NOT pass on their cocktails (loved the house martini). And if you like tiramisu, theirs is a must. I think it's the best I've had in NYC. The service is impeccable, the ambiance is inviting, and they have a nice, funky playlist (just like 4H) playing at just the right volume. Again, really struggling to fault this place for anything. Great experience! Highly recommend hunting for a reservation or making the effort to walk in!”

“Absolutely divine meal from start to finish. There was not a single dish I was not impressed by. We started with the razor clams, which had a lovely, fresh citrusy flavour, and the focaccia as starters. This was an amazing focaccia by the way. It was fresh, warm, and buttery, with the crust being nicely crispy but the inside being extremely soft. Then we moved on to the pasta. We got the farfallone, which was just perfectly al dente and had the right amount of spice and texture from the breadcrumbs while being extremely flavourful. Then we had the beets and the chicken. Honestly the best beets I've ever had. The burrata was not too heavy and had amazing seasoning which went well with the beets and the chicken was very tender and had a great gravy to go with. The desserts were also splendid. Special mention to the thyme gelato with candied lemons. Overall a delightful dinner.”

“Quite surprised -- not in the best way. Overall it was good, but nothing mind-blowing, especially the pasta. You can skip the cucumber salad, but the focaccia with whipped ricotta is a must-order. The highlight was the tiramisu (truly the best I've had in the city -- not even exaggerating), which is what made the experience feel a bit uneven. On the plus side, the wine selection is phenomenal. The service is top notch as well.”
