La Cava was definitely a top favorite restaurant I went to in New York city when I came to visit. Incredible pasta, drinks, and dessert. The service was great. It was my dad’s bday and the server (also the owner), celebrated my dad’s bday with music and a cheesecake and shots. He’s so happy with the birthday celebration!

My coworkers often talk about great spots to unwind after work, so I decided to stop by La Cava by chance — and I’m glad I did. Sara, the bartender, was exceptional and made my day. Highly recommend!

As an out of town solo visitor, I’ve come here two nights in a row. The paninis are delicious and the filet mignon with mashed potatoes was perfect! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Excellent happy hour and fantastic wine selection. I look forward to coming back the next time I’m in town.
