What we believe in

The Caravelli Philosophy

01

Authentic Ingredients

We source the finest Italian produce, from aged Parmigiano Reggiano and DOP San Marzano tomatoes to fresh seafood and prime British beef, because quality ingredients are the foundation of every great dish.

02

Regional Traditions

Our menu draws from across Italy's diverse culinary landscape, from the ragù of Emilia-Romagna and the seafood of Naples to the truffles of Umbria and the wines of Tuscany and Veneto.

03

Genuine Hospitality

In Italy, dining is never just about food, it's about people, warmth and shared moments. We bring that same spirit to every table, ensuring every guest feels truly at home.

The Historic Old Manor

Our home is one of Loughborough's most historic buildings, a 14th-century manor house on Sparrow Hill that has been lovingly restored while preserving its original character and charm.

The building's exposed stone walls, original features and intimate atmosphere provide the perfect backdrop for an authentic Italian dining experience. Upstairs, five individually designed boutique rooms allow guests to extend their stay in this remarkable setting.
