La Caverna - Sutton Coldfield

We truly enjoyed our time at the restaurant thanks to the attentive staff, delicious food, and the wonderful chef who went out of his way to prepare a special meal for my son. Overall, we had a fantastic two nights there.

I have been a few times and the food is always brilliant. The service is also great and the place is clean. Unfortunately this time there was a small minus, my cappuccino wasn't hot or wven lukewarm. My friends was the same, so i mentioned it and they were replaced. At the end of our lovely set menu i had another cappuccino and this time it was dangerously hot. I didn't mention it but did burn my tongue a little on it. Im thinking the coffee machine isnt working properly.

We have been there twice in the last month which is a good sign. On the first occasion the red wine choice was very disappointing with two out if my first three choices unavailable and the third one was corked but on the second visit, all the wines were available and delicious.The staff are charming, knowledgeable and helpful which is great and the food is served in good time.It is in a tough market and it is considerably more expensive than the other restaurants around but it is nice to have an upmarket Italian nearby to give choice and competition to the Indians, Chinese and Lis Banditos up the road.

I enjoyed my meal, but the restaurant felt somewhat lacking in character and could use more focus on its decor and ambiance.

I enjoyed the food overall, but I would appreciate seeing more fresh ingredients instead of frozen ones.
