"I found the best part of the menu on a small table flier after I had ordered my entree from the menu. I would have chosen differently if I had been told of the other specials. Arugula w/ goat cheese salad was ok and the Salmon was good."

"Cavatappo was one of the best "surprisingly better than ever imagined" restaurants we went to in 2011. The menu was innovative and scrumptiously prepared, the service very attentive and polite and the deserts were original and delectable - every course was amazingly better than we had hoped. We will be sure o return when next in te neighborhood."

"I could have loved this place is the heat wasn't on full blast. It was too hot to eat! The salads are their weak points; their pasta is always delicious. Portions are a bit smaller than I remember. Using Twitter pass code saves you 10%."
