"I would not live in Salisbury, NC were it not for La Cava. Let me tell you the story. When my wife and I visited Salisbury back in 2005, looking to move here, I was NOT on board. Pulling off of 85 onto E Innes St back then really reinforced my desire to stay where we were in comfortable, suburban Loudoun County in Northern Virginia. Back then, E Innes at 85 was an eyesore. It has improved immensely since then, but in 2005, yuck. By the time that we got to the downtown and West Square historic district, things were looking up a bit, but I maintained my desire to not move to Salisbury. We looked at some houses, including the one that brought us to town. The wife was excited not me. It was not until we had dinner at La Cava on Saturday night, that I got on the Salisbury bandwagon. We were greeted by Jessica at the table and after mentioning that she did not know us and introducing herself, she then asked, So what is the plan tonight? Are you hungry now? Do you want to have a drink and relax for a bit? How do you want tonight to go? I was gobsmacked. I was used to the DC market where, as soon as you sit down, they start the meter running to get you to buy as much as they can, in as short amount of time as possible, and then get you out the door to do it all again with the next table. Well we had the most wonderful relaxing dinner. The atmosphere was lovely, each course better than the previous one. The service was perfect and gracious. At the end of the meal, Jessica came by and said, How about an after dinner drink? Now, at this point, it is important to mention that I ran a fine dining Italian restaurant in Northern Virginia that about $2.5 million dollars in sales annually, so I know restaurants and I know wine. I decided to take a chance to ask if Jessica had Vin Santo. For those of you that are not familiar with Vin Santo, it is a Tuscan dessert wine that is wonderful and tastes like sunshine. As I was asking the question, and older gentleman was walking by the table, stopped suddenly and asked, in an Italian accent, I 'm sorry. Did you just ask for Vin Santo? I was a bit taken aback and said, ...um yes. He said, I have a bottle that I have been waiting for someone to ask if we have. I 'll be right back. He returned with bottle in hand, three glasses, and asked if he could join us. He introduced himself as the owner, Gianni Moscardini and shared the bottle of Vin Santo with us. I was now on board with moving to Salisbury because La Cava would be a block and a half from the house we ended up buying. I have been a regular customer there ever since and it is truly my home away from home. If you go, ask if Gianni is in. He would love to meet you and tell you his story. He is a great friend. Also, tell him Greg sent you."

The food was wonderful, especially the perfectly cooked and tender steak. There wasn't any room left for dessert, but they all looked delicious.

We took an out-of-town guest to this restaurant for a fantastic meal! The brussel sprout appetizer was delicious. We ordered Ahi tuna, perfectly seared, and a beef stew with wide noodles for our entrees. Both dishes were excellent, and we enjoyed them with a bottle of Chianti. View menu

The restaurant is beautiful (in a architecturally great church built in the 1890's) and the food well prepared. The Lobster Ravioli was the best that I have had anywhere. My wife's gluten free pasta with sausage also was excellent. Drinks were well prepared and a great wine selection. The wait staff were friendly and efficient (and all wore masks). Plenty of room for social distancing seating. Considering the quality of the food and service, the prices are reasonable.

We traveled from another city to celebrate a couple's birthdays. After reading great reviews on Trip Advisor, we chose LaCava. We were pleasantly surprised. The food was incredibly tasty, with a wide variety of options on the menu and off-menu. The service was attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere, especially the stained-glass windows, was charming. Overall, we had a wonderful experience that met our expectations. The only recommendation I have for the LaCava team is to ensure that the food is served hotter at the table.

What an evening. We went to La Cava to celebrate my birthday with several friends. 2020 has been an interesting year. We haven’t had the opportunity to really celebrate with friends a whole lot. We certainly selected the appropriate place to do this at La Cava. It’s beautiful inside and out the food was wonderful and the service was amazing. We ordered the Ravioli, they plant Parmesan, wine beer salads and a dish that I am afraid I don’t recall the name but it was a small piece of bread with honey and cheese. Amazing. And the desserts I can’t say one was better than the other they were all delicious. Really enjoyed our self and will be back. Thanks for a great job everyone. View menu

My wife and I were in town for the first time and found the restaurant on Trip Advisor. We called and made the reservation. Upon arriving we were treated and seated by very friendly staff. Our waiter immediately took our drink orders, brought fresh bread and wine to the table. The menu offered many different options. I had the NY strip that was covers in a delicious mushroom sauce My wife had the eggplant parmigiana. We ended the night with delicious deserts. The setting in the old church built in 1897 is not only unique but beautiful with the sun coming through the stained glass windows. That with the table setting if flowers and candles make for a delightful dinner experience. We will surl...

We had a reservation at 9 and when we came in the door they acted like we had no business coming in. The restaurant is a former church and the atmosphere and decor are actually pretty nice. The hostess was pleasant and sat us. Took more than a few minutes to get drinks and menu. The server told us no rush but that kitchen closing soon. The posted closing time is 10 and we got there at 9 so that was annoying but whatever. We order the special New york strip and it was decent, though a bit more medium rare rather than medium, taste was ok, not great but not bad. A chef or someone did come out and ask if my steak was ok bc they could see it was undercooked. I said it was ok but kept getting red...
