It is very difficult to find good food and service in Australia. Your restaurant truly delighted and impressed us. We felt as if we were in Italy, or perhaps even better. Be sure to try the chef's recommendations. Big hug from Croatia and special thanks to the gentle service, Giancarlo. Thank you!

Amazing food and service ! The owner took the time to find us a table on a busy night and even spent a while chatting to us personally. We had a beautiful bottle of Italian Sangiovese. Spaghetti marinara and sausage pizza were delicious. The restaurant has some remarkable Ferrari memorabilia as an added bonus. Very warm and welcoming service and atmosphere. Highly recommend!!! Thank you for a great evening.

Quite seriously, the best pizza, I've ever had. And I’ve eaten a lot of pizza in my time. The sauce was rich and tangy, the crust was buttery and crisp, salty yet sweet. Perfect amount of cheese with fresh ingredients that were crisp and well portioned across the pizza. My partner had the marinara pizza which he said was amazing. Espresso martini’s were a hit too. I’d 1000% recommend the maranello pizza and of course, cafe cavallino

We dined at Cafe Cavallino on a balmy Saturday night 18th January 2025. We spoke to Gino the owner who said the restaurant has been in his family for some 50+ years. We had to wait (but were head of the queue) for 10-15 minutes as the restaurant was humming and were lucky to score table 38, served by Gino's daughter Isabella who was our waitress for the evening. I ordered the calamari salad, my sister ordered the Caesar salad. I highly recommend these dishes. They certainly did not scrimp on serving sizes and were very generous. The calamari serving, the chicken and bacon serving on the Caesar salad....whoooaa absolutely amazing. We shared a carafe of Aperol Spritz. Tbh the calamari was probably up there with the best I've eaten. Crunchy, not rubbery and delicious. My sister's husband had lasagne, my daughter the minestrone soup. The garlic bread and hot chips hit the spot. I've been to Italy and this food took me right back there :) again. I highly recommend this ☆☆☆☆ stars
