Although it’s expensive, I think this is the best food in Portsmouth. Everything we ate here was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend this restaurant for special occasions.

I had the tuna, empanadas, and gambas off the pre-fix menu. The empanadas was good but the gambas was the best. Overall I think food was good but as a solo diner my experience could have been better from when I made the reservation to where I was sat so I wouldn’t select this spot for solo dining, more of a date spot.

Delicious! The presentation was so pretty and everything was yummy-started with strawberry salad, then empanadas, then gnocchis and finished with choc cake. From drinks to dessert. So good!

Cava is the perfect place for your date night, anniversary or even just a Wednesday night out of the house. The food is inspired, the wine list expansive and the atmosphere is amazing. A must try destination in Portsmouth!

Only have been there twice but each time was amazing! I recommend doing the menu 4 course for $48 PER PERSON. The plates seem small at first but most of the time you might not be able to make it to dessert. The downstairs bar is amazing if your going on date!

Fabulous tapas and wine bar located on a quaint alley in Portsmouth, NH. Service was top notch. The 4 course meal was incredible. You have 4 choices with each course. The drink menu will pair with any taste preferences. We enjoyed a mojito. The paella was perfect as was the gazpacho. Kim had baby octopus and I had patatas. Highly recommend.

Been wanting to try Cava since visiting Spain this past Spring – saw it on Phantom. It did not disappoint. Very authentic four course dinner with excellent drinks. But huge shout out to our server Danny who was absolutely outstanding.

One of the best meals I’ve had! Attentive and friendly service, perfect portions, delicious small plates with incredible creativity, beautiful location- all make the experience that much better, and well worth the price. Excellent accommodations for allergens, too, truly going above and beyond!

Excellent. We returned here after a two-year pandemic break for in-door dining. We were happy that the food was as good as we remembered. We had scallop cruda, grilled baby octopus, and prawns. All stellar. The desert was the least memorable part of the meal. I was also surprised the did not have earl grey tea, my only black tea option was Lipton tea. Overall, an excellent experience and we will be back.

Food was phenomenal, great wine pairing suggestions. If you don’t want to do the full price fixe menu, you can sit at the bar and order a la carte. Incredibly celiac aware and so amazingly accommodating. Quality food and service. Thank you so much!!!!
