La Cava Restaurant

This stunning venue was once an old cathedral that has been transformed into a charming restaurant. Upon entering, you're greeted by the breathtaking beauty of stained glass windows that bathe the interior in a kaleidoscope of colors. The seating area features an impressive wine rack that stretches from wall to wall, creating a sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere. The original altar and majestic organ still stand proudly, adding to the enchanting ambiance. Nestled in a cozy corner, the restaurant boasts ample parking and is equipped with mobility access for guests with disabilities, ensuring everyone can enjoy this remarkable space. The experience was nothing short of spectacular, with service that was genuinely outstanding. Our waitress made excellent recommendations, enhancing our meal further. One of the highlights was the enormous rolling dessert cart, brimming with freshly made sweets. I savored the Teres Seared, while my colleague opted for the chicken; both dishes were bursting with flavor and had a richness that made for a memorable dining experience. For dessert, I indulged in a delightful tiramisu amaretto, which was incredibly light and satisfying. Paired with a refreshing lemon drop martini, each sip felt like a perfect complement to our superb meal. Overall, I would rate this culinary adventure a resounding 10 out of 10!

Good food, carefully crafted. Lovely setting in an old church; the bar is basically an altar, with the stained glass windows behind it. Nice spot for date night.

Food is okay. Desserts are great. The huge drawback is the service. Service is lackadaisical at best. Whimsically. They seemed to have a problem multitasking. First time there. Maybe it was an off night.

This is a really beautiful restaurant nestled in an older part of town in what was obviously a church. This gives a great experience just for the venue itself. We met our party at the table covered in white linen. Definitely dress up a little. No need for formal wear but don't wear a tee shirt and jeans!Plenty of staff milling about all working to give everyone a good experience. It took a minute for anyone to come back to the table once we had an arrived. Our main waitress was nice and took our drink order. No cold glasses for the beer. This level of restaurant should have this available. This is where space may be an issue due to the old bones of the church. Lots of wine on shelves and on the menu. A fair amount of beer selection and ask, because they had Peroni, but it wasn't on the menu. They brought focaccia bread with olive oil. It was warm and fresh. I had the chicken cutlets, lightly fried over cut potatoes and spinach, with a very good brown sauce with mushrooms. The waitress had told us that the potatoes were mashed, but it didn't matter. The dish was tasty and came out hot. The price point was a little high for chicken, but you're paying for the experience and ambience as well, so not an issue for us. Keep this in mind if the venue is not your thing. My wife had the fresh fettuccini with garlic and mushrooms. The brown sauce was very similar to the one used on the chicken. Tasty but over salted. The other couple also ordered the chicken and enjoyed it and also the ravioli with sausage and broccoli rob with a white sauce. No description on the menu for the sauce. We all ordered the Caesar salad that was made table side. The curious thing was that my wife and I said we'd split the $13 salad and they gave us each a sizable plate from the same mixing bowl. Our friends ordered and didn't specify that they wanted to split the salad and were each charged $13? We all pretty much had the same portions.The salad was good but I had to ask for fresh black pepper. And no anchovies. Got to have them for an authentic Caesar salad. I know most folks don't like them, but at least offer them on the side.Dessert was seen all thru out the meal as it rolled by on a cart. It was a nice presentation and a good selection. Our friend had the crème brûlée cheese cake. Very nice and fresh. Everyone was nice and clean place with pretty good food and top notch ambience. This place would be great for a romantic dinner or special celebration. I'd go back for a second meal if we're near the area. The service was nice but you get a variety of servers and no one really takes on the table themselves and interacts to form that real dining experience. Don't get me wrong everyone was pleasant, but no one really stepped it up. The restaurant was fairly full but not overwhelming.

A lovely space with moody vibes. The service was standard with a bit of a flat affect all around. The food for the most part was salty and heavy. This did not make for a great post-meal feel. In the future I would certainly steer clear of the pasta, especially having had the real deal in Italy.

I have been hearing about this little gem in Salisbury for years now, and it was well worth the wait. Definitely a special occasion kinda place, white tablecloths and all. Set in a old church, but in a warm cozy way, with a great little bar when you enter, I loved how you could see all the stained glass around you. I got taken for my birthday by my extremely generous friends. True Italian food, the freshest, simplest, everything we had got a 5 star rating. Heads up, when making a reservation ask for the wine alcove, we didn't know, but I do now! They start you off with their amazing warm focaccia bread and olive oil, this disappears very fast! Their cocktail list was good and not long like some places, I got the French 75, on the table we also had the raspberry limoncello Bellini and the lemon drop martini. All drinks were fabulous and served so nicely. The also have a nice wine list too. We ordered the Robiola for an appetizer, it's Italian soft cheese served on toasted bread topped with truffle infused honey. Amazing. A must get. You can smell that truffle. Then we got the Caesar salads, which they make at your table, all fresh ingredients, you watch them make the dressing and put it all together. Quite a cool thing. Makes the salad even more delicious. Great way to remember it. Entrees we got the salmon special , blackened on top of fettuccine Alfredo and the Linguine all' amatriciana. The salmon, which I didn't have was described as perfectly cooked and the fettuccine was nice and creamy and balanced well with the salmon. The linguine, was also delicious, tossed in tomato sauce flavored with great chunks of bacon, onions and red pepper. Nice light, very flavorful and the linguine was perfectly Al dente. 2 perfect entrees, with others I look forward to trying next time. I love that they have off the menu specials. Their dessert cart had been sitting there throughout dinner and I had been eyeing everything. I wish I could have had a bite of everything ! Hard to choose but we went with the cheesecake and the Profiteroles. Both of these desserts were to die for, rich creamy cheesecake so good and the crust was divine. The profiteroles were very chocolaty on the outside and nice cream inside, and the pastry was so good, both hit the palate! Definitely get at least two desserts to try! We did get a glass of wine too, I got the cab red blend, which was good and my friend had the Pinot noir, also great. My only suggestion would be that they get some new wine glasses, the ones they had were kinda small. Other than that this was a stellar restaurant, fabulous service, Lauren and Victoria know their stuff. Great find in Salisbury. I hope to have many more trips to La Cava....so should you! * Funny womens bathroom situation, check it out .

Great place for celebrations and meetings because of its pleasing aesthetics. However, slightly overpriced for the food you receive. I had the white fish special and nonalcoholic mint cocktail. I wasn't impressed to be completely transparent. The service was good but a little chaotic in my opinion. It definitely has a lot of potential but if the desserts are the only thing that I look forward to then I won't be going back.

Amazing service. Delicious food! Never disappointed!! A great placeto bring visitors to impress!

We go to La Cava for most of our special occasions or when we just want a terrific meal. The staff and management are friendly and very attentive. Food is great and the wine selection is good and reasonably priced. Strongly recommend.

Food, service and ambiance are great. Have eaten there many times, and no matter what I had it was great.
