Cavateria? niiiice.
Last Saturday, we stopped in a Cav's first Cavateria event. They're planning to have one from 1-4pm the last Saturday of every month.
They have featured wines for tasting (2oz or full glass pour). They also had a blind tasting which we did not do.
The kitchen is not open so you can't order food but they have free snacks -- cheese, bread, nuts, olives, meats, pickled veggies, etc. It was quite nice and we tried not to be pigs.
They also had packaged food you can buy to go - we bought a package of house-made sweet pea ravoli (double the size of the what they serve in the restaurant) for $10. They had some beautiful looking cookies and other sweets.
Since it was their first event, the scene was pretty mellow but I imagine once it "gets out", it will be yet another SF mob scene. Most of the crowd seemed to be people who heard about it from Daily Candy (young women) and Cav regulars.

There's another this Saturday from 1-4pm: a "hot dog stand" serving various sausages, paired with Alsatian wines by the glass.
