"Cav is a wonderful restaurant that is hidden in an alley. It provides a wonderful ambience with much to look at in terms of unusual art and sculpture. The food is excellent and the service was very good. I would highly recommend for romantic dining or going out with a large group."

"CAV was recommended by the customer I was in town working with. I am glad I listened to them ! The restaurant itself is an eclectic mix of decor. What made me go back twice in one week was the food. The kitchen staff is getting the job done right. I wish I had a huge plate of that mushroom crostini appetizer right now ! Both the White Bean Shrimp Pasta and the Spinach Manicotti were very good. I will definitely go back to CAV if I'm in the area again."

Having been there previously we were very pleased at the presentation of our meals as well as the flavor from appetizer to dessert. my husband says he thought it was the best meal he had ever had there. WE definitely will return and highly recommend it to anyone."

"The food was great. The bartender fantastic, really new his drinks and service at the bar was exceptional. The service at the table for dinner could have been better, waiter did not know the menu very well and his wine knowledge was poor.
The man who greeted us at the door is a gem. He made us feel welcome and was eager to make our night special. He is one the reasons we will return."

"The neighborhood is not so picturesque, but that's the only thing about CAV that wasn't fantastic! The food, the service, and the overall experience was exceptional. Jennifer our server was attentive, informative, and available. The ravioli was delicious, as was the wine. Definitely worth the trip to Providence."

"This restaurant is a gem! The atmosphere is cozy and inviting. The decor is ecclectic with lots of chandeliers and Aisan collectables, comfy sofas and chairs, brick walls & wood floors. Feels like your dining in someone's home and not a restaurant. Wait staff is incredible! Attentive, knowledgeable, and great personalities. Then, there is the owner, Silvia. She came to our table to introduce herself and ask about our experience. Lovely and sweet woman. No wonder she has a successful busines, great food, great staff, gorgeous decor and impeccable service. My new favorite place in Providence."

"The CAV resturant experience was wonderful. However the Open Table reservation experience was not so wonderful. A friend arrived before me and was told there was no reservarion under my name. When I asked the wait staff about this the reply was that the open table computer generated reservation was not reliable . They suggested calling the resturant to make reservations."

"What an interesting restaurant! Dinner and art lecture in one. Wonderful primitive art adorns the walls and the owner was happy to discuss her collection at some length.
The appetizers that we had were okay (bruschetta was very chunky and Caesar salad was a little dry). The pasta with lobster was also just ok, but two of our entrees (pumpkin ravioli, chicken w/pears) were outstanding. The chicken was cooked perfectly and was balanced with sweet, cooked pears and chive dumplings. The pumpkin ravioli included the flavor of pistachios and went nicely with the chicken as well. We were really impressed with the creativity of the chef's dishes."

"We had a really nice brunch at CAV - very quiet even though there was a baby shower not far away, and our omelette and crab cake entrées were very good. The service was attentive but not intrusive, and the high ceilings, big windows, and interesting items peppered all over the dining room made for a really pleasant ambience."

We were there on a Saturday night, which was very busy! Despite the restaurant being full, we received our food very quickly, and our server was outstanding. I'm thinking we should go more than once a year!"

"My friends and I stumbled upon CAV during a trip to Providence. It was the greatest find! Tucked away in an unassuming but picturesque courtyard was this magical place. Filled with stunning chandeliers and eclectic bits and pieces, we were mesmerized the minute we walked in. It didn't stop there. The service was spot on, the menu was expansive and divine and every bite was a bit of heaven. I'd recommend the French toast and the pistachio crusted crabcake with poached eggs."

"Appetizer pizza, calamari and crab cake were all excellent. Lamb shank special was very tender and tasted great. Lobster special, lobster over pappardelle, and mussels arrabiata got good reviews from our dining companions. On scallop and shrimp entree, scallops were cooked perfectly, but shrimp was overdone. Creme brule had good carmelization, but custard was very watery."

"We went there for the Saturday night date night two days after Valentine's Day. Wow this place was hopping and the ambiance was amazing. We discovered there a Louis LaTour Chardonay that we will have again. The food was also amazing and very reasonably priced. This is a great date night, with lots of ambiance - antiques - cool lighting and a fun campy style."

"The rare tuna was fantastic, literally melting in my mouth. Coupled with the bit of wasabi paste and the wasabi aioli, it was like having the best of seared, crusted tuna with sushi at the same time. The fresh pickled cucumbers and carrots were also quite refreshing. For desert, with Creme Brulee out, the chocolate Gateau was a superb standin.
As for atmosphere and service, impeccable. All of the staff was attentive and polite, even when just walking by the table.
On the downside, the particular table we had was next to a raised platform by the entrance with another table just about directly over us. Not so close as to feel like we were part of the same table, but close enough to feel crowded and overhear each other unintentiona"

"Really good brunch. No wait on a Sunday which made me a little nervous but I didn't need to be. In kind of a quiet, off the beaten path part of the city but there is free and easy parking which is a plus. Funky ambiance and speedy service."

"Sampled the restaurant week menu. Although the meal was delicious, I questioned the haddock special. Felt it was more like tilapia. The menu intrigued me enough to go back however. Service was great as well as the atmosphere. Also the mussels were overly spiced.."

"The Mussels appetizer was outstanding. The sauce and the spice level were perfect.
The Duck Confit was nice and moist, but a bit on the overcooked side..not too bad
The Salted Caramel gelato was also very good.
Overall a good dining experience."
