The restaurant is very small but cozy. Our table was at the back and we didn’t find the clatter disturbing although it was a quiet night, weekends might be busier. Our server may have been one of the best ever … very attentive and helpful. The antipasto included a terrific selection of cheese, meats & salads but we did run... More

We went for dinner to Caffe Mio. The food is ok; tasty and well-cooked and the dishes are really ample. The calamari is not a starter is almost a full meal!!! and they are crispy and delicious. Shrimps Diavolo were simply perfect, spicy and tender. Salad sizes are large as well. However, the service is unefficient, it took them ages... More

We have been to Caffe Mio a few times and keep returning as the Calamari is got to be one of the best we've tasted! It is lightly battered and crispy with a delicious dipping sauce and a generous serving to share. We usually have a pasta dish and are never disappointed. One of our favourites is the Fettuccine Oceana... More

First the bad, small crowded venue, a bit noisy and the service is a bit slow. These problems quickly become obsolete with the arrival of the food. From appetizer to desert we were treated to an array of flavours that delighted. We were a party of four and each dish was eagerly shared and sampled followed by a symphony of... More

always a nice place to go for lunch. Small place, especially during winter as the patio in no open. Love the pizza and the pasta.

Went to Caffe Mio for a friend's birthday on a Tuesday evening. The restaurant was half-full when we arrived around 6pm, but packed when we left at 8:30. Nice atmosphere, but was a bit loud - not bad for a birthday celebration, but a bit noisy for a romantic night out. Spent the evening savoring delicious wine, and the best... More

Went here with 4 others, had the rack of lamb, pasta, and tiramisu. The food was very tasty and the ambiance was very nice. We will definitely be returning again.

It was a cold Friday afternoon and after some exploring on Wellington Street, we headed into Caffe Mio. No, we did not have a reservation but were seated in a welcoming manner beside the window and we settled in. Great choice of fresh pasta, fish, entrees and more. Complete knowledge of the choices was evident. Pleasant service and great combination... More

I stopped in for a glass of wine and a bowl of soup early one evening and was glad I did. The wait staff person was friendly, despite a very busy restaurant. The restaurant is small but pleasantly appointed. The squash soup garnished with goat's cheese was perhaps the most delicious soup I've every had anywhere. I plan to make... More

Food was okay - but the service was seriously lacking. They sat us at a table for 4 (we were a party of 2), we ordered our food and our drinks arrived. Then they rudely asked us to move because a party of 4 came in. Our next seats were much less desirable - right by the door, so every... More
