Cavatore Italian Restaurant

When we came to this wonderful country, we were received with open arms – and we’re happy here. Our emblem is a blend of Texas, American, and Italian flags.
(1075)

The name Cavatore and it's coat of arms is over 800 years old and comes from a small medieval village in Northern Italy, near Acqui, in Piedmonte: land of the famous Barolo, Barbera and Dolcetto d'Alba wines; truffles and of course fantastic food! We wanted to put something in our restaurant that would symbolize Texas and the United States, and found this hundred year old barn in Bastrop. We caref

ully collected memorabilia from all over Italy that would depict the last hundred years of our country. Many of these items have something to do with the United States – recollecting good times past and even sometimes those that weren’t so good!! The name “Cavatore” and its coat of arms is over 800 years old and comes from a small medieval village in northern Italy, near Acqui, in Piemonte; land of the famous Barolo, Barbera, and Dolcetto d’Alba wines, truffles, and of course, fantastic food!

🍅 We’re thinking about bringing Cavatore home…

Many of you have asked about our marinara over the years, so we wanted to ask:

If we started selling jars of our homemade Cavatore marinara sauce, would you be interested?

Perfect for pasta night, chicken parmesan, dipping bread, or keeping a little Cavatore in your kitchen.

Let us know in the comments — would you buy a jar?

🐾 Meet our unofficial neighborhood greeter 🐾

This sweet neighborhood cat has made it her mission to stop by, say hello to our customers, and then head home after her “shift” is over.

While we appreciate her dedication to hospitality, we do not condone this behavior and kindly advise customers not to leave her tips… mostly because we’re pretty sure she does not report her earnings. 😹

She is not on payroll, does not have a W-2, and refuses to clock in properly.

But she does love saying hello. ❤️

In recognition of Father’s Day, and with Cavatore closed for the holiday, I wanted to take a moment to honor all fathers—past, present, and future—who have shaped our lives through their love, sacrifice, and guidance.

As fathers, partners, providers, and protectors, much of what we do is done out of love, asking for little in return beyond the happiness of those we cherish.

If your father is still with you, take a moment to tell him you love him. If he’s no longer here, honor his memory by living with the values he taught and by being the example for the next generation.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, grandfathers, stepfathers, and father figures. Your impact is greater than you know.
