We had our son's Baptism here in May. We had an exceptional experience. The resturant was promp in replying to my emails with the planning and accommodating the cake delivery & florist.

It was nice and private. Our party was the only group in the resturant.

The food was incredible. The antipasto was great. Such large portions, so much food! The pasta.everyone is still talking about how that was the best pasta they have ate at a resturant, delicious!

We did not feel rushed to leave. We took our time. The food was served promptly with enough time between courses to socialize and be ready for the next dish.

We can't recommend Cavallino enough for your next event.

I hosted a private event at Cavallino early June. Never being here before I was in aw with the atmosphere and food and service. The staff was respectful and phenomenal. The food, breathtaking and leaves you in your feels. 100% I would be back to dine here again.

I recently visited this restaurant to celebrate my new job and had a somewhat disappointing experience. While the servers were friendly, there seemed to be some unresolved conflicts between management and the staff that were evident during my visit. Unfortunately, this resulted in occasional instances of attitude and unnecessary comments amongst them. Although these issues were not directed at any customers, it would have been better if the restaurant had been able to maintain a more professional atmosphere.
If you are looking for a tense atmosphere with unresolved tension then this is the place to go!

This has become my favourite Italian restaurant in the GTA since Roberto took over. Food is outstanding & service top notch. Can’t wait to go back.

Took the family out for mothers day. Place looked great I like the atmosphere. The food was good but definitely not worth the money you pay. Our entrée were all hit and miss. Our dessert was frozen. I could not believe that in a place that has prices like it does frozen anything is not acceptable at all. If I want frozen ill stay home and eat frozen pizza. As for the wait staff although nice and did their best again for the price you pay you deserve way more.

Nice little Italian restaurant. Appetizers came out a little cold but the mains came out perfectly. Portions are great.

Absolutely amazing experience! It was our first time here, and we were celebrating my dad’s birthday. We got platters to share, around 8 people. Restaurant atmosphere was great, not loud so you aren’t yelling to hear one another. The food was SPECTACULAR! The specials were lovely and the menu options were so unique and tasty. There wasn’t a single plate we didn’t enjoy! The staff was so kind and helpful. They even cut up and plated the birthday cake we brought with us. Overall great time, would highly recommend, and definitely coming back!

Came here for Valentine’s booked on open table, food menu looked great. But when we got there. The menu was very limited due to a special menu for valentines which we were not aware of prior to booking so that was very disappointing, since we were looking forward to some things we saw on their menu…. Usually when booking with open table if there’s a special menu or limited menu it usually notifies us. Not to mention the fixed price was 100 plus tax and gratuities. And it was 2 adult and 3 kids… Appetizers were a choice of oyster Rockefeller or smoked Scaramuzza oyster was the better choice the smoked Scaramuzza wasn’t anything special. The second course was a cheese ravioli with rosé sauce or a cuttlefish, black ink risotto both were tasty. The last choice was a chicken dish, which didn’t sound too interesting, or a veal with mashed potato and rapini. The veal was dry AF. Mashed potato and rapini were delicious. To be honest, they should have just stuck with their menu it wasn’t even busy so I feel like it was just a money grab.

I had the same experience yesterday on Valentines Day as the most recent reviewer Julie. They had a limited menu and there was no mention of this on OpenTable or on their website. Spent $330 after tip (service was fast to be fair) but could have spent the same at a much fancier restaurant with higher quality food. We also did get a $60 bottle of wine. We both wanted to leave when we saw the price of $100 per person along with the limited menu but didn’t want to be rude. I felt that this was just a cash grab to take advantage of the demand created by Valentines Day. It’s a shame since there are a lot of positive reviews and the normal menu looks amazing, but we won’t be returning due to this one bad experience. Hope this review encourages management to rethink their strategy for Valentine’s Day next year.

I went here yesterday for Valentine’s Day excited to have some pizza and calamari. Once we got there, we saw that the menu was limited and expensive. The food was not worth the price. It was $100 per person before tax and tip. It wasn’t mentioned anywhere on their website or OpenTable about the limited menu and prefixed price. Once we got there, before we saw the menu, they offered us water and a complimentary drink where we felt obligated to stay. The service was fast but pushy. I was done my ravioli and my fiancé was still eating his risotto; when the waitress came over and took my plate and looked over at him and said “looks like you are pretty much done, ” and took his plate as well. We also got a bottle of wine and spend over $300 on dinner.

I was really looking forward to having a good Italian dinner for Valentine’s Day with my fiancé but was a sadly disappointed. All this place cared about was money! Never going back!

Also, I have noticed that the restaurant doesn’t reply to any of the low star reviews; only the 5 stars. Poor customer services!

We held our annual family Christmas dinner at Cavallino Wine Bar. Everything was perfect. Stefania was very helpful with planning the event. The food was flavourful and delicious! The service was excellent! I highly recommend this great restaurant.

Most people don’t leave negative reviews if they are really upset, I am leaving one in the hopes that the owners if they care, will take note. We ate at the restaurant and the Risotto dishes were amazing. I could not say the same thing about the Gnocchi that was fried. I mentioned this to our server in a friendly and positive manner, honestly because I thought the restaurant was quite good. Unfortunately, the server’s tone was defensive and somewhat condescending explaining that the dish is quite popular, no argument here, but it did not need to come across in an aggressive manner. I did not leave a tip because I was quite upset with the way I was treated. I did mention it to the server on my way out and he got quite confrontational. It was my mistake to mention this in the first place. I should have swallowed my pride, kept my mouth shut, left a modest tip and don’t set foot in this restaurant again. It is unfortunate, I thought the restaurant was quite good if the folks serving customers listen better and don’t disrespect them. Dining is an experience that needs to be pleasant. I don’t think this was too much to ask for.
