Opened Sept. 28, 2010. This is the second location for the pizzeria, which has certification from the Verace Pizza Napoletana association. The original is in Irving, Texas.
Although it can be uneven, there’s much to recommend family-run Cavalli: certified authentic Neapolitan pizza, an all-Italian wine list, small plates instead of entrees that include wonderful grilled-eggplant-and-smoked-mozzarella stacks and house-made ricotta crostini, as well as house-made cannoli and zeppole. Casual, trattoria setting. Full bar.
