Reviews Summary
Al Cavaliere is praised for its delicious Italian cuisine, especially the fresh seafood and gluten-free options, served in a charming setting with a friendly garden area. While many highlight the attentive service and great food, some diners have experienced long waiting times and found the prices to be on the higher side.
"The food was amazing ( it is what you are searching for in Italy! )
The service was great, they are great with tourists and careful to all you may ask. It can get a bit crowded but they are handling this with more staff, which is great.
All in all, a great place with great food!"

"We came across this Al Cavaliers looking for a place to eat dinner when we arrived in Lido. We looked for a good menu and a lot of people eating the restaurant. When we were reading the menu outside, the server told us about their fresh fish/seafood selection & said he’d be around if we had any questions. Absolutely no pressure for him - which we loved! We saw the number of people eating outside (a great indicator of a solid restaurant - the restaurant next door was empty!). When my son mentioned it was hot outside, Teki (pronounced “techy” like a computer person), the server, took us inside to the air conditioned area, that looked an indoor garden. The food was absolutely amazing- we all had seafood. I had a whole fish served table side. Igli (pronounced Ig-lee), the side server, plated a flawless fish with zero bones!! The roasted vegetables that accompanied the fish were delicious. My sons had the fried seafood & vegetable platter (not greasy at all like in America), the seafood pasta & cuttlefish with polenta. I tried each dish & loved them all!! I recommend this place 100%!!!"

"Food and service was great. Patrons of the restaurant gave helpful suggestions about what was good to eat. The presentation of the crusted cod was a joy to watch. Would recommend to anyone visiting Lido island."
