Ely, our server, was exceptional. All of the staff was very kind to my 98-year-old father. The only thing that could have been improved is the reservation situation. I was surprised to be told our wait would be 15-20 minutes even though we made a reservation in advance. Luckily we were seated in 10 min. Usually when i dine with an open table reservation, I am seated upon arrival.

Caesar salad is large and they split it for two for us, it was very good. The Boscaiola was excellent, smooth and flavorful, mushroomy, would definitely get it again. The Traditional Bolognese was OK, but not amazing. Cannoli was very good. The wine pours by the glass are quite generous and the service was top notch. Also, a great location right on the river! We will be back.

Two of us sat in the bar and we had a fantastic bartender, John, and really reasonably priced happy hour food and drinks. Bruschetta, angel hair pasta, and the grilled shrimp were particularly delicious. I’ve been going to Caro Amico for 35 years, and that’s the best their food has ever been. And that bar is just one of my favorite little bars in Portland.

Upon reading good reviews of this restaurant, I was drawn to aesthetics and warm lighting. The pictures on the reviews truly don’t do this restaurant justice. The wood fired pizza is some of the best I’ve had! A slightly sweet, yet balanced sauce on a crispy crust. The calamari was perfectly breaded and crisp to perfection. I will be coming back.

Love this place … we’ve ordered takeout twice and been there with our newborn for a group dinner and on our own and they are always so great. Our favorite new neighborhood spot and the food is always 10/10
