Caravaggio

About Caravaggio

Caravaggio is a firm favourite with City boys, not least for the extremely attractive waitresses. The restaurant is well liked by the ’locals’, who enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and friendly yet efficient service of the management. Most of the menu is also available to be eaten at the bar, if you’re in a hurry to rush back to that all-important squillion-making deal. But if you want to linger, you can sit at your table with brandies and cigars all afternoon if you wish. What’s cooking? Sliced veal topped with fresh spinach and buffalo mozzarella, risotto with sea scallops and asparagus, roast suckling pig served with sweet potato and fennel.
