    Cavallo’s new menu is a true celebration of Italian cuisine with a modern twist. Each dish brings something unique to the table. The truffle pasta is simply divine—rich, aromatic, and indulgent. The gnocchi al pomodoro are light, fresh, and bursting with flavor. Burrata melts beautifully into a harmony of textures and taste. The salmon is delicately cooked, full of depth and finesse. And the pizza—authentic dough, perfectly crisped, a true nod to Italian tradition. A must-visit for lovers of refined Italian flavors and culinary creativity.

    The restaurant has a nice vibe! It’s like you go deeper and deeper inside a cozy cave. Make sure to dress light, the restaurant is very hot inside. The staff is quick and friendly, also English speaking. The pizza is DELICIOUS! Amazing night

    Fun lively place with good service. Pizza looked great. We had risotto and tagliatelle. The tagliatelle was good but not great. The risotto was okay but not good. Shoulda had the pizza!

    We arrive 8 minutes late and they accommodated us beautifully. They made special pasta for our children and gave us an unbelievable spread of the freshest pasta and salads available. The service was impeccable. This far exceed our expectations for lunch today!!

    This restaurant exudes such a lovely atmosphere that you may feel you are truly in Italy. The staff was friendly if a little slow. We had pizza. It was very tasty, but could have used a crispier crust as it was very moist and must be eaten with knife and fork. Would recommend going as the experience is lovely.

    Always fast and quality service. The food quality, portion and presentation is well maintained. We loved the fact that the same Italian waitress that served us during our last visit remembered us and still as happy and chirpy as a bird.

    We made a reservation and were seated next to the hallway by the bathroom and with very bright lights shining in our faces, despite the restaurant being quite large. Food was fine but on the expensive side. My husband had a pizza and I had a Panuozzi. Pizza was good. Paniozzi was just fair. Beretta salad was fine, but I was disappointed there were no green salads on the menu. I’d call the menu limited.

    We came here to entertain old friends who came to Lyon for the first time. The food was scrumptious. Love the options and the portion was perfect. The ambience and interior of the restaurant is beautiful. To top it off, we had a lovely Italian waitress who was not only polite but humorous and always smiling. Our friends left with big smile, full belly and laughter all the way. Thank you.

    A bit complicated and slow to be served (the restaurant is huge and was full of people), but once they come to your table and start the service, you can expect only good things. The waiters/waitresses were so friendly, welcomed us in such a cool energy… 3 of our table have ordered pizzas, which came pretty fast, and I ordered a pasta, which took a bit longer to arrive at the table. It didn’t bother me because I was having a delicious gin&tonic meanwhile. And once my gnocchis arrived, I just had this beautiful voyage that those who enjoy a good seafood dish can possibly have once in a while when eating in the right place. I’ve had the opportunity to visit Italy many times and the experience I had with my dish at Cavallo, honestly, never had while traveling there. Equilibrated, on point with “sea taste”, and the gnocchis were just delicious! An experience to repeat, for sure! If you want to have good Italian food and are not in a hurry, do not hesitate.

    The service is great! The waitress and the hostess were very nice. The food is also good and the place is huge! I ordered a parmigiana as a starter and the portion was quite generous, I had to take home half of it so I could still have room for the main dish :) I’ll come back again for sure!

    A brilliant, beautiful Italian restaurant just off Place Terreaux. The food is fantastic. Yes, they have pizza. Pizza is everywhere in Lyon. What makes them my favorite is that they have much more than pizza. The octopus I had was perfect -- and that's a hard dish to get right. The pasta was fresh. The sauces were amazing. The burrata was delicious and enough to share. Could not have been happier and I'm a former Italian chef.

    We ordered a pizza, a pasta dish and a couple of appetizers. All were delicious and the pace of the meal was great. Love that we were in what seemed like a cave. I would come back next time I am in Lyon!!
