Trattoria La Caverna

AMAZING food! Got the Cavatappi Cassie pasta with steak and the steak was seasoned and cooked perfectly. Spaghetti and meatballs also a classic. Meatballs are so yummy, sauce is fresh. Wish I took a photo of the food to share. You can definitely miss the building if you aren't paying attention as there are no visible signs from the street (yet). The atmosphere is off for an Italian place, but the food made up for it.

We try everything in our power to support locally owned businesses and genuinely feel like this one deserves all the support it can get. The food is wonderful, as are the drinks. We feel like the staff is family and truly love that they exist in Hendersonville. Keep up the good work - you guys are great.

Went in with high expectations based on numerous 5-star reviews. Maybe it was an off night for service but first impressions were at the low end of the scale. The expected ambiance of an Italian restaurant was missing and the facility was in dire need of improvement. There was no change from the days of its earlier life as an Asian fusion restaurant. Exterior signage was nonexistent. Service was slow with a single waitress covering 4 tables.

The menu offered a “loaf” of bread with pesto for $4.00. What was delivered was a single bun barely enough for one person. When asked about it, the waitress simply replied that she didn’t make the rules and bread did not come with the entrees. The fried ravioli appetizer was heavily crusted with little taste of the skimpy cheese filling. For $8 I’d strongly suggest that you skip it.

The entrees were hot and tasty. Compared Carrabas and Olive Garden, the lasagna and meatballs are spaghetti were nothing special but okay.

I don’t understand how the 5-star reviews were earned, but my Italian heritage and growing up with Italian cuisine set a high bar that this restaurant couldn’t come close to matching.

The food was definitely sub par. The chicken parm was burnt and the mushroom risotto only tasted like red wine. The fried ravioli was the best part of the meal. The atmosphere is not inviting and I now understand why we were the only ones in the place. I love to support local but this place has alot to be desired.

We have visited this great little gem a couple of times now and I felt compelled to give it a glowing review! You must visit this lovely place for great food and amazing service. Everyone goes above and beyond to give you a great dining experience. It is a place where everyone will feel welcome! I’ve had the pesto tortellini added chicken, the Pork Ragu and my husband always orders the chicken Parmesan. The salads are lovely as well paired with excellent dressings. Go visit!

This is one of our favorite places! As a matter of fact we are going there tonight! Very eclectic atmosphere, very relaxed. GREAT wait staff and the food is amazing!

Wife and I went there 4/24/25.
We had the Classic Bruschetta as a starter. Each meal included a salad.
I had, Nonna's Lasagna. Wife had, the Cavatappi Cassie. I was very impressed by the flavors of ALL the dishes. We were served by MAK. Mak was very knowledgeable of the menu, gave suggestions, and was very pleasant.
Very quaint, excellent vibes, SUPERIOR FOOD, SERVICE and AMBIENCE.
Best Italian food we have had so far. We will be back. No desert, portions were bigger than my stomach, hard to do.
🙌🙌😊😊

Great food, great service, this visit we were at the table riiiight next to the dishwasher. Reservations suggested for better tables :).
We will be back!!

I will be going here every chance I get. The most delicious tomato sauce and meatballs. I went here for a friend's birthday party and they catered it for us family style. It was wonderful.

Was very disappointed that they didn’t have the Vietnamese fusion anymore. It’s only Italian food, still not bad the taste.

As most of the restaurants town have basically the same food. This place put a little different flavor in the food. It just tasted fresh and sweet? I know right. Typically you can’t understand what the wait staff is trying to say but all and all we will definitely will go back

I don't like ordering first . If I want that I would have with to a fast food place. It was way to expensive. I felt like I had to rush and get out. If you want more to drink you have to get back in line. This is stupid.. I probably won't go back.
