About Us

At the heart of Caravelli can be found the team of Massimo Torre and Luigi Borriello.

Having taken over the restaurant, both Massimo and Luigi aim to carry on and develop Caravelli to become the choice for Italian food and hotel stay in Loughborough.

The Old Manor was ripe for rejuvenation and, after months of planning, restoration, and plain old hard work, Caravelli Italian Restaurant opened its doors for business in March 2010.

At Caravelli you will find a traditional full service Italian restaurant with wide ranging menus covering everything from pasta dishes to seafood and meat prepared and presented in authentic Italian style.

 

The Old Manor is well known for being one of the oldest buildings in Loughborough, with the recent discovery of a stone fireplace indicating it was originally built in the mid-fourteenth century. The building has a fine Swithland slate roof and a central gable facing the road through which the original front door would have run.

It is beautifully set on the edge of Loughborough’s Churchgate heritage area overlooking the tree lined streets around the Parish Church, Rectory Place and Sparrow Hill.

The character of the building and its wonderful setting add to the ambience you’ll enjoy during your meal.

Throw in a little “buzz” from our predominantly Italian staff busily preparing and delivering your fabulous food, and you’ll find Caravelli provides everything you need for a great Italian style dining experience!

We also have a fully licenced and extensive bar to help you celebrate those special occasions too!

We were lucky to host our annual carnival event 2019 at the best restaurant in the county. We always find great service from all the staff, together with authentic Italian food that is the true success of Caravelli. We experience large groups bookings and small groups, and we always feel at home. Massimo, Luigi and everyone at Caravelli are always there to make your experience a unique one. Grazie e alla prossima

Great restaurant and delicious food. Number one Italian restaurant in Loughborough and Leicester. Delicious food and you can taste that the food has been cooked with care. Friendly staff as well. Recently had their takeaway food, due to covid. Takeaway food was delicious and was just like eating the fantastic restaurant quality food in your own house. Keep it up guys!

Would give it more stars if I could. Great service and fabulous menu. Obviously popular in the town as all the tables were full. So nice to find a place that isn't a chain. Enjoyed sea bass and veal in cream and mushrooms. Vegetables came as part of the meal ( usually get charged separately for veg at similar places at home) . And the cheesecake. Words can't do justice to the delicious homemade desserts. Wish we lived nearer. Will be back when next visiting student son.

The best place to eat out in Loughborough! The food selection is a breath of fresh air, it's cooked to perfection and very reasonably priced. The staff are polite, welcoming and a credit to the restaurant. This was my first visit with relatives who were having a stopover locally and we were not disappointed. The lemon and chocolate cheesecakes were to die for....

Great hospitality. The staff and Massimo are so lovely. The food is delicious and would definitely recommend it. They are doing very well in regards to covid-19 safety measures (staff wearing face shields, gloves, masks) and they have separators to ensure safety of customers.
