WOW🤩we were extremely impressed the food and service last night at Caro Mio. This is a small BYOB restaurant and seating is close together but the atmosphere is fantastic. We ordered calamari, pizza bread, gnocchi, chicken parm, and tiramisu. Our favorite dish was the gnocchi and would absolutely go back for more.
This place is a neighborhood gem. All kinds of great art on the walls sets the mood that all here is homemade. House salad is incredibly flavorful. And papardele with mushroom sauce was so rich but not heavy. I'll come back with a bottle of wine and a bigger appetite for dessert. Oh, Monday and Tuesday is 2 for 1 on a special anniversary menu.
Just delicious!! The staff are friendly and warm. The food is always spectacular. I love the gnocchi and the pollo alla cacciatora tasted like an italian grandma made it. Really recommend this place for BYOB in the neighborhood!!
Came here for my girlfriend's 40th birthday, and the service was amazing. They took really good care of us and made sure that everything was perfect. The food was delicious and tasted homemade. This is one of our favorite Italian spots in the neighborhood!
