Reviews For Il cavaliere Italian Restaurant & pizza

We booked for 15 people and had the best time. The staff are always so much fun and they were very efficient. We always find when booking for a large group that the food is never great but the food here was amazing ! We have been a few times before as it’s very local to us. A hidden gem that is a must try. Has a very nice feel to it as it’s run by an Italian family, it feels very authentic inside.

Incredible Italian restaurant. If you want somewhere authentic, reminiscent of holidays in Italy, then this place is a must! The hostess brings the charm and the food is exceptional. The seafood soup, seafood linguine and the carbonara are a must! Even the complimentary fresh baked bread was delicious. The portions are generous, but that doesn't stop you wanting to try every dish on the menu...we'll just have to come back for more!

Fabulous little restaurant. We discovered this place on Saturday whilst visiting the area. Great kids menu. Staff really attentive... and the food was fantastic. Fresh home made pasta - you could taste the difference. Beautiful food

Took my partner for a nice quiet lunch today. Was amazed by how good this place is. Staff were very polite and curtious, food was incredible and the price was pretty tasty too. Pizza's all had authentic toppings and true to southern Italian food. The garlic bread in particular was absolutely delicious as was the pizza. I'll be definitely taking my partner back there as she is part Italian and absolutely loved it.

We went this Saturday following glowing recommendations from a number of friends, and we weren’t disappointed. It is brilliant to have such a fantastic restaurant locally in West Molesey. Best Italian we have been in for years and that includes holidays in Tuscany. The staff especially Stephanie were fantastic, very friendly and super helpful. The food was excellent and cooked to perfection. The price was very reasonable especially given the food portion sizes. 100% recommend and we will certainly booking again.

Great food, great atmosphere, great service. In other words everything you can expect from a real Italian restaurant. Not a franchise but a family restaurant vibe. Very clean, excellent choice of food and drink not only contained to pizza and pasta. Good for a romantic lunch or family dinner. Strongly recommended.

What a gem of a place. A friend has been telling me about this place for ages and I finally got to go. It knocks spots off most restaurants in Kingston and I highly recommend you go. Lovely, authentic Italian cuisine. The fish soup is exquisite. Fresh, plump seafood in a ridiculously tasty broth. The waitress was welcoming, delightful and very helpful. My friend says the Tiramasu was to die for. All reasonably priced. I promised I would sing this restaurant's praises and I will to anyone in Kingston who'll listen and venture out a bit further for a fabulous taste of Italy!

This place is a real gem and it needs to be discovered by more people! Stephany is a fantastic, warm and welcoming host, the food is absolutely delicious and the wine is too, and its all great value for money. Every time we eat here we try something new and we are yet to find something that we dont like. I would encourage everyone to try this wonderful restaurant as they really deserve success.
