Reviews for Cava in Southington, CT
This place is decorated amazingly, but I also came here to eat. The different themed rooms are pretty cool but again I also came... here to eat. I witnessed a group of 6 who were on the large size whose reservation had them in a half-circle nook. They didn'tseem very happy since they could not all fit in the seats reserved for them. That being said if you make reservations I wouldask for some details. The place is pretty packed in and tables are close together with patrons taking photo ops next to yourtable, to be expected. I know they charge you for canceling and also charge you if anyone in your party doesn't order anentrée. If you are a picky eater you may want to think twice. The restaurant is supposedly a higher end Italian restaurant.Besides the decorations it's pretty much an Olive Garden with way higher prices and Christmas decorations. They did not have areally big menu to choose from and some of the members of my group had overcooked food and my risotto was not cookedenough. Drinks are expensive, my beer was 14 dollars and it was not even a pint. the mix drinks averaged 15 to 18 dollars. Thedessert was pretty much cheese cake you could buy at a store with powdered sugar and whipped cream to make it look nicer. Thehostesses and I am only being honest did not leave much to the imagination with their outfits. Not very classy to say the least.They were friendly but with %20 gratuity added on to parties of 6 or more I would be happy with that kind of money too. Foodcame out all together which was nice for a large group but they did try and grab 2 plates off our table we were not finishedeating yet, they did apologize though. Would I ever go again? nope. Our bill for 7 people was almost $700 with tip. 5 mealswere chicken parm and only 5 alcohol beverages. Seems a bit over the top to me. But they had nice Christmas lights! Read more
We absolutely loved it here! Alexis was our server and so attentive. Drinks were great and we enjoyed our food. I thought the... prices were more than fair for the experience itself. It felt like a NYC bar without the drive. This will be a yearly tradition!It is worth the trip for the holidays, the place is breathtaking. Read more
We went to the Halloween wizard experience. Decoration was beautiful, a lot of detail and effort put into it. Friendly staff.... Food delicious, we had the beet salad, the calamari with mango sauce, the vegetarian linguine and one of their specials (lobsterravioli with lobster sauce and a cut of meat) the liquid luck drink was very magical. Restaurant is a bit pricey but for aspecial occasion is definitely worth it. Read more
Cava is a wonderful spot to enjoy its delectable Italian cuisine and beautiful theme-based decor. When we went, they had "The... Wizard," "The Maleficent," and wonderful hot floral decorations on the rooftop. Except for their seating arrangements,everything was excellent there. I didn't anticipate receiving a plastic chair with no cushions as Cava is a fancy diningestablishment. That can be improved, in my opinion. The personnel at Cavs is polite and decent. Read more
Went here for the first time and had dinner in the wizards room. The staff was very nice and helpful. The dinning room was... excellently decorated and beautiful. We ordered 2 appetizers and 2 of the specials they had everything was very good. A littlestrange the have a charcuterie board that had no cheese but other then that everything was great. We also had a few of the fundrink specials that were apso good. It is a bit pricey but was a great experience. Read more

My husband and I went to Cava for the first time for Valentine?s Day last night. When you drive up the decor they have up for... Christmas is beautiful on the outside. When we arrived the front staff acknowledged us right away and were pleasant and upbeat.We were seated right away (highly suggest reservations a month out) and were seated in the first room. We had a table right nextto the walk through to other rooms so there was a lot of traffic back and forth which for us was a bit distracting because itwas so busy. The food was absolutely DIVINE. We got the mussels and a salad for appetizers and the mussels were mouth watering.I ordered the lobster ravioli and my husband ordered the pasta dish served in a lobster. Everything was made from scratch andthe depth of flavors was incredible. The only suggestion I would have for the grilled lobster tail on the ravioli is to de-shellit before plating because it was a bit difficult to pull the lobster meat out. And for dessert he got the butterscotchcheesecake and I had the Godiva chocolate mousse cake and both were incredible. Overall the service was quick, the servers andhostesses were upbeat, timely and very friendly, the environment was beautiful but very busy, and the food was incredible. Wetraveled about an hour to Cava and it was well worth the drive and the price tag! Highly recommend for a great date night! Read more
