Inside is old school wood panelling, a long bar, and a good sized dining area. The staff was super friendly and we were seated quickly despite the dinner rush. We all ordered the Fried Chicken which was apparently named best in Minnesota a few years ago by WCCO. Between us we got fries,, baked potato, and 2 different kinds of coleslaw for sides. Everything was delicious and the chicken was perfectly crispy. If you're in New Ulm this is definitely worth the short drive over. Note that they only take cash or checks but they do have an ATM on-site.

Lots of coffee drink options- loved the snickerdoodle latte.

Would definitely be interested in trying the brewery if we were in town longer!

My family enjoyed an excellent meal at Kavo tonight…read more First off, the service was very good. Our server was friendly and checked in on us frequently. I was completely happy with them. On to the food. We started off with a complimentary plate of focaccia served with a whipped butter that I was pleasantly surprised to find had a bit of lemon worked into it. Very tasty. A bruschetta with fig jam and prosciutto was shared as an appetizer. It was pretty tasty; if you like a sweeter appetizer you will enjoy this. Personally, I would have preferred the classic. The mains we had were the Chicken Piccata, Garganelli, Cacio e Pepe, and the Carbonara(We let each other sample our mains, so I was able to try each one). The portions were generous and the plates visually appealing. The Chicken Piccata was good, better than average for sure. The Cacio e Pepe was very good, and the truffle butter in it was a nice touch. The Garganelli was meaty, and a bit spicy. It gave me Italian comfort food vibes. I would order it myself if I get here again, especially on a cold Minnesota day. Now the Carbonara, that was special. The sauce was incredibly silky and rich, the generous amount of fried guanciale mixed in made it decadent. If it's your first time going here get this. I almost forgot to mention, that the restaurant itself is lovely. Do stop and check it out if you have the opportunity.
