“Antonio Cavaliere’s restaurant is set just down off the street across from the castle, and it’s long been a very popular destination for locals and visitors who enjoy the fresh flavours of classic Italian cooking and the good value for money. Antipasti, good fresh pastas and some rich meat and fish cookery may not be the Italian cooking that is in vogue today, but it’s always deeply enjoyable food.”
Georgina Campbell 1998 - 2010
“Service is prompt, from the time fresh bread and butter is delivered speedily with the menu. Food is characterised by freshness of ingredients and a high standard of cooking: excellent minestrone, a superb plate of house antipasti (Parma ham, smoked pork, two different salami, barbecue-seared aubergine slices, pungent roast peppers, black olives & garlic toasted foccacia) delicious seafood and memorable pasta…. visitors will find great service and outstanding value for money too…”
