Reviews

In 2013, a review in The New York Times described it as "one of the most civilized Italian restaurants to turn up anywhere in the city in the last few years," but also stated, "...for all its civility, [Caravaggio] is haunted by inconsistency more than three years into its run. Some of my meals there were very good; in others, I couldn’t find a single dish to get excited about, and there were a few that were just not right at all." Overall, their score was 1 star out of a possible 4.[1]
