Ristorante Cavour at the Hotel Granduca Reviews List
Ristorante Cavour at the Hotel Granduca
Enjoy Ristorante Cavour, Hotel Granduca’s first signature restaurant. Ristorante Cavour offers unique Northern Italian cuisine.
The warm, intimate restaurant is the vision of Giorgio Borlenghi with design of Ermy Borlenghi Bonfield—the talent behind the design of the entire hotel. In keeping with the old-world Tuscan feel, the space is small and intimate with warm colors, flickering candlelight and antique prints gracing the walls. The name of the restaurant was inspired by, Camillo Benso, conte di Cavour, the former Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia. He worked in Torino under King Victor Emanuel II and is known for unifying Italy in 1861. Count Cavour became, in that year, the first Prime Minister of Italy.
Hotel GRANDUCA is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World, Ltd.

Review 4 for Ristorante Cavour at the Hotel Granduca
"Based on reviews me and my wife were hoping for a great romantic night out, it turned out ok but from someone who enjoys cooking at home you would want something that supersedes what you make yourself on weekends, this was not it. We had different seafood but both included strange selections of sauce to compliment the fish and vegetables. I enjoy a good polenta cake which is extremely easy to make but when you have eaten it from the chef's of Bergamo this was very disappointing, topped with only an ok fish. Ambience is good and impressive wine list, although my first very basic selection was unavailable ... after 20 minute wait?!? First and the last time unfortunately, Houston is filled with so many better italian restaurants ..."

Review 13 for Ristorante Cavour at the Hotel Granduca
"Excellent service and ambiance for a table of out of town guests. For the most part, kudos all around for the food. One diner, however, was unimpressed with his squid complete with black ink orzo and sent it back. The wine was intimidating even for an old hand and equally overpriced.
On balance the ambiance and food carried the day."

Review 21 for Ristorante Cavour at the Hotel Granduca
"Tired of expensive but standardized chain restaurants? Dine in cozy and original Southern European ambiance. Nice decor, great wines, great Piedmontese food, excellent service. Also, discreet and romantic for those so inclined. Not cheap obviously, yet not overpriced either."

Review 26 for Ristorante Cavour at the Hotel Granduca
"It was my first time that I dine at Cavour. It was the best dining experience I never had. I love the decor, the ambiance, the food and the service. All servers use your name even you never dine there, also the wine list is one of the best in Houston, the sommelier recommended us a wonderful wine which pair perfectly to our meal. The servers are very attentive. The service is elegant, you can talk without shouting and the servers never rushed you to pay. You really can enjoy a wonderful dining experience. No matter what I will be back at Cavour and it becomes my favorite place in Houston to dine."

Review 27 for Ristorante Cavour at the Hotel Granduca
"The customer service is impeccable. I could only wish the customer service I give to my clients is as good as the hotel and restaraunt's staff. The staff was very knowledgable about the wine list and it is no short list by any means. They made recommendations and we went with them and they were fantastic suggestions.
Great place for any venue."

Review 32 for Ristorante Cavour at the Hotel Granduca
"Both meat and fish had been in the freezer for a long time so that the texture of both was unpleasant. Also, the meat was over cooked. For the top prices paid ($40+ per entre) that should not been the case."

Review 34 for Ristorante Cavour at the Hotel Granduca
"We had an excellent Valentine's Day dinner. The chef's menu was outstanding- just the right proportions so it was not too much food. The wine pairings were excellent, although sometimes came too slow to match the pace of the food. A beautiful dining room. Overall, Outstanding."
