Visited Cave Restaurant and Wine Bar while staying nearby in Desenzano. We had dinner as a family and really enjoyed the atmosphere – the cave‑style setting is unique and makes for a cosy evening. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and service was attentive without feeling rushed. The menu offered some good options, and the wine list was impressive with plenty of local choices. Food quality was decent overall – well‑presented and tasty, though a few dishes could have had a bit more depth of flavour for the price point. Overall, it was a pleasant evening and worth visiting for the setting and service, with food that we’d rate around 7/10. We’d recommend it for the experience, especially if you enjoy an interesting location with a good wine selection.

WE arrived with a booking at 21.30 after a long drive . The restaurant is set back from the chaos of the front - we were met with a smile and a pleasant Hello . WE chsoe a table outside - the extra effort was not a problem , we had a local red wine , the most AMAZING Carbonara we have ever tasted - the super lady chef ( the wife of the owner) makes it with passion and love .. just the best ... lovely people , Also , Make sure you take a bottle of thier Olive oil ... Olive Nectar ----

We came here three nights ago and we were so impressed that we came last night and tonight too! Wonderful food cooked by ‘my wife’ . A small menu and extraordinary fast service. I cannot recommend this place enough. The pork and the cheese and truffle pasta were highlights and the homemade tiramisu was outstanding. A succinct list of excellent wines just tops it off.

The service! Food was cooked in front of us and it was delicious. The chef was very busy but was also extremely pleasant as was the waiter. Busy restaurant with lots of locals there. Good advice from the waiter about our order. We would highly recommend…

It was a cold windy wet night in Desenzano, so we trolled trip advisor and the fork looking for recommendations to cheer us up. The reviews for the Cave were excellent and although we had to bear the weather conditions we went for it. So glad we did. Charming little restaurant, excellent food, great ambience and super service. They even presented us with a mini cake for our 40th Anniversary. Would definitely go again. Paul And Amanda
