Cavatore Italian Restaurant

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.
(1078)

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!!

Support local this summer ❤️

Rising food and energy costs continue to impact small family-owned restaurants that don’t have the buying power of large chains.

So the next time you don’t feel like cooking, consider supporting a local restaurant you love. The food, atmosphere, and memories only exist because of your support. 🍝🍷
