La Cava

Love love love loveeeeee everything about this place. Inside super cute Service: Amazing Food: wooozzzaaaaaaaaThe pasta was perfectly cooked , service was very attentive but not over bearing. Just go, you won't be disappointed

So I love their pizza. Plain pepperoni and cheese. I usually have it delivered but after a bad Uber eats experience we're trying to pick up our own food and so glad we did. As we pulled up and parked in the front I noticed the opportunity for a cute romantic date night lol. So I told my husband my plan and he agreed. We sat in front per our request and they were so nice to us. Lighting our candle bringing us our pizza and cappuccinos and it was way more fun than eating it at home in front of the tv. Our waiter was very attentive and everything was perfect. So what are you waiting for? Tell your partner to meet you at LaCava tonight!

I have lived in Sherman Oaks 23 years and I will say I will never come to this restaurant again. The staff is incredibly unprofessional, and downright rude. There are better Italian restaurants in the area. The maitre d apparently did not approve of me wearing a mask and then became hostile and almost threatening. On this occasion I was picking up my order. When he brought it to me he tried to hold it up so high so I couldn't reach it. At that point, I thought he was going to hit me. NEVER COME HERE, EVER! F this place. Really bad energy, staff always rude, ungrateful.

Service was great. Food was amazing. Definitely recommend this restaurant. Ambiance was great too.

I went to La Cava with a small group for a birthday dinner. We went on a Monday night so we were the only ones in the restaurant after awhile! The wait staff seems super friendly and they were attentive, but what struck me right away is the prices. Tagliatelle Bolognese $33!! Penne Regina $30!! And the worst was the Pizza Margherita for $24...absolutely outrageous for a tiny little pizza that's thiner than a piece of paper. Seems they don't list their prices on their website for a reason. You can get the same quality food at other Italian restaurants for a cheaper price. For the quality, it was one of the better bolognese dishes that I've had, but the birthday girl found a few small bones in hers. However, I didn't have any issues with my dish. They gave us little complementary pinwheel cookies for dessert and they were really dry and not sweet at all. Overall, the price is way too high for underwhelming food. There is metered street parking out front.

THE BEST ITALIAN FOOD ON THE PLANET.I'm dying on this hill, but you will not find better Italian food. My tastebuds were a little damaged after getting Covid, and it's been hard to find myself loving food again. BUT THIS. I LOVE THIS. Service is excellent and friendly, owner is an angel. They will make anything and nail it perfectly. Felt comfortable and happy the entire time I was there. A favorite among kids and adults alike. They have something for everyone!I cannot recommend them more, you have to try it for yourself.

Got to check La Cava out for the first time on Valentine's Day. The setting is intimate with a darling outdoor patio.The host was very friendly and gave us our choice of table. The tables outside are a little on the small side, but the patio is very cozy as it's enclosed and has heaters. For Valentine's day they had a set menu where you could choose from one of two soups, two salads, and four mains served with a pre-selected dessert. I went with the broccoli soup, caesar salad and pappardelle. The broccoli soup sure didn't look like much but it was really good! Probably the most flavorful broccoli soup I've ever had. The caesar salad was pretty straightforward. Pappardelle had great truffle flavor and a delicious buttery sauce. Noodles were thick and fresh tasting. I wasn't crazy about the chocolate tart dessert. It wasn't chocolatey enough for me. Great wine and great service. I wish they had the regular menu available on Valentine's day so I could see what else they had/have more options. We were unaware they had a pre-set menu. I would come back again, and grab another delicious glass of Italian wine!

Had dinner with a friend here tonight it was so lovely. The ambiance was elegant, The wine was delicious the service was impeccable very attentive staff. The bread was so good and we started with the insalata caprese which was delicious. Then we each got a pizza, my friend had the margarita pizza and I had the 4 cheese. We declined to have dessert because we were full but they sent over a complimentary dessert that was so yummy. I can't wait to come back with more of my friends to enjoy this wonderful gem of a restaurant in my neighborhood.

WE had not been here in many years, and I am sorry for that. The food was delicious and the service was great. Everyone enjoyed their meal choice, and we had quite a variety, so it basically covered many interesting choices from the menu. The foccacia bread was crispy and interesting and the dessert cookies were a sweet and nice ending to a delicious meal. We will be returning soon!

Food was fresh and service was great Tiramusu was yummy. The pasta was really good Ambience was nice
