Caravaggio (restaurant)

Caravaggio is the name of several restaurants around the world, often specializing in Italian cuisine. The name is inspired by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, the influential Italian Baroque painter. Restaurants bearing this name commonly aim to create an atmosphere of sophistication and artistry, often referencing the painter’s dramatic use of light and shadow in their decor and presentation of food. Due to the commonality of the name, it is essential to specify the location (city and, if possible, address) when referring to a specific Caravaggio restaurant. The menus typically feature classic Italian dishes, and the price range and level of formality can vary significantly between different establishments using the name.
