Caro Amico Italian Cafe - Portland

Superb service and food, as always, was delicious, flavorful and served in a timely manner! First time we have sat in the bar and it was cozy quiet booth for our date night, staff very attentive! Always our favorite place to dine my husband said YES to my marriage proposal in 2017! :

It’s was as good as we remembered from 23 years ago. Food excellent, staff friendly decor probably could use a refresh. Will definitely go back!

Been going here for years. Food is always great. Lasagna, meatballs pasta carbonara, excellent!! Our waiter, Brohim, was amazing. Recommended a wonderful syrah and took great care of us.

Wow, I've lived in this area for 35 years and never been to this neighborhood gem. Loved it. Wonderful food!

A cute little house-converted restaurant tucked away off of Barbur. Elsie, the owner, stopped by the store where I work and gave me her business card with a note on the back to get a free pizza any time I wanted to stop by. We ordered the PSU Viking (with roasted garlic? I know it sounds strange, but it was delicious! and Elsie happened to be at the restaurant that night, walking around and talking to guests. She’s very attentive, and clearly knows how to run a restaurant. I’m only docking a couple points for service because we had a hard time getting a server’s attention multiple times throughout our dinner, but it was Valentines Day and they were very busy so it’s completely understandable! Overall I’d highly recommend stopping in to get some high-quality Italian cuisine in a very down-to-earth atmosphere. Thank you Elsie!
