Formerly opened by Luciano Pavarotti in 1996, Caravaggio still remains one of the firm favourites with the movers and shakers of the square mile. Occupying the imposing premises of what was formerly a banking hall, the space has been opened up to create a gallery which runs around the room at mezzanine level, providing a second tier of tables and creating a perfect space for group dinners and large parties. First class modern Italian cuisine and slick service are all part of the Caravaggio appeal.

A rather dated looking restaurant, doesn't appear to have change one bit since I last went there about 10 years ago. The food was 'ok' and prices were pretty good. The wine we had (Cote Du Rhone @ £38) was pretty good. I wouldn't hurry back though. The staff were a bit hit and miss. Some disinterested, others more professional.

Great restaurant - wonderful ambiance. Quiet, white tablecloths, space between tables, and excellent Italian food. + tasty watermelon and mozzarella salad + properly cooked veal Milanese + personal and attentive service. It’s located in the financial district of London so lots of suits, prices reflect location but also quality of the menu

25 years after my first visit to Caravaggio and it’s still as good! Consistency is absolutely king. The food was the star of the show…from the Burratina starter (perfectly complemented by the sun dried tomato and courgettes); the perfectly cooked spaghetti lobster (pasta perfectly al dente with a rich and unctuous sauce); to, finally, the tarte tartin (not Italian, but who cares, it was delicious!). Reliably excellent for entertaining clients. Will go back again and again…

This is a very good restaurant for a business lunch in the heart of the City. The noise levels were quite high but the ambience was good. The food was excellent quality and well presented. The service was friendly but a little slow at times, particularly at the end when they left the dessert menus then did not return to the table for at least 20 minutes - it was nearly impossible to catch their attention to order coffees. This was a shame as so many good experiences in restaurants are tarnished by slowness in bringing the bill or or the card machine. I would however go back there despite this annnoyance

Mid week, very quiet but nice atmosphere. Food was good and staff knowledgeable and helpful regarding food and wine choices. We had a relaxed comfortable experience. Disappointed as always, when the bill comes with an automatic service charge. I expect service with a meal, its not an extra. Then I choose how much to tip. It leaves a bad taste at the end of a meal.

Nice looking dining room, though it had a bit of a 90s feel to it. Great reception on arrival. Lovely champagne and starters/mains. Very generous portions, which is great. However, once the Redtsurant became busy, the service al but disappeared. Waited ages for desert menus snd eventually just had to ask another waiter for the bill. It’s a great venue, but my visit badly let down by poor waiter service.

I have been to Caravaggio several times in past few years and always been very happy. Hence why i took 3 friends to dinner there on Friday evening. It was very quiet at 8:00pm which was not surprising in the city on a Friday evening, we were the only diners. service was polite but slow and not particularly attentive, we often had to sit with empty plates or glasses in front of us. the Open table menu was very poor so not at all tempting on the special 2 or 3 course deal. We chose a main course each from the menu (2 of us had plates of pasta, one had warm cod another veal with little else) we had some bread and olives, 2 of us had a pudding, we all left unsatisfied and still hungry. the food was average at best. we did have 2 bottles of wine (total £70) so the final bill came as a huge shock, for a dull Pasta meal. £230 for 4 people! I wish i had asked for 12.5% service to be removed, as this was unacceptable. You could have a far better meal & experience for that amount of money. Will not return.

I had forgotten there were 5 steps at the entrance but two staff came to help my friend up while I carried the wheelchair. I had booked under the London Restaurant Festival menu BUT note on one email that there was another,cheaper,menu! I wAs charged for the LFR menu . we were offered a glass of "champagne"BUT the menu specifies Prosecco,which it was! There is NO adapted toilet but the staff let me friend use a door marked Private where there WAS a lavatory she could use. We had help getting down the steps when we left. Although we were late arriving because of missing one bus then me going along Fenchurch Street NOT Leadenhall,we were seated quickly. It seems there was a problem as,although I booked via Open Table,I had an email saying we had NOT attended.
