Carino "Japanese Italian Kitchen"

Food was great. The experience unmatched. There are few places in Calgary where you might want to go for the service. The staff take a lot of care or make you feel welcomed and entertained. I would go back again just to be cared for and entertained by the staff. Food is by far the most interesting and exciting. I recommend the momos. They are divine!

This was our 2nd time dining at Carino, very much enjoyed the service as the main server is very attentive and takes his time to chat and make sure you are comfortable. The food was complex and well executed, my wife also got the duck soup, it was excellent, I just didn’t take a photo of it.

From the moment you step inside Carino, it's clear that this is more than just a place to eat—it's an experience crafted with care. The warm, attentive service makes you feel welcome at every turn, and the staff's deep knowledge of the menu shines through in every recommendation. Their food and wine pairings are both precise and delightfully unexpected, guiding your palate through a culinary journey that's hard to put into words. The flavours they create are extraordinary—complex, balanced, and memorable. And while I may struggle to fully capture the magic of each dish, there is one waiter in particular who can describe them with such insight and passion that you feel connected to the story behind every bite. Carino isn't just a restaurant. It's an encounter with flavour, talent, and genuine hospitality—all delivered with remarkable consistency.

I visited this restaurant with my boyfriend, and every dish we ordered was amazing. The food was delicious, staff were friendly, and the atmosphere was cozy and lively. It’s quite popular, so I recommend making a reservation. Prices are on the higher side, but the quality makes it worth every dollar.

My daughter and son-in-law were having their Anniversary dinner here tonite.
I called and talked with Jayden about a special surprise for the dinner. She was able to help make this a memorable evening for them.
The food was amazing and is highly recommended.

When I heard about Japanese, Italian fusion, I was not sure what to expect, but this place blew me away! The lamb literally melted off the bone, the tartar melted in my mouth, and I melted off the chair eating the tagliatelle. Worth every dollar!

Food was excellent. Service was not. Servers need to do a better job of communicating if they are sharing the work load.

Very delicious food. Had Veg Tagliatelle, strongly recommend.
Service was pretty good too, nice atmosphere.

Overall incredible experience, our waiter gave us fantastic recommendations which we loved. After our mains we ended up waiting a while before being checked on, so dessert and apertifs came after some time.

Food and service were all fantastic. This was our second time visiting and I must say, twas better than the first! Cant wait to come back.

Been meaning to go here and after booking a reservation, worth it. The food was really delicious and nice ambience. Would definitely go again for a date night.

For anyone who hasn’t tried the seafood pasta, you missed out on the most de-fricking-licious pasta big time!!

Food was outstanding. Service was excellent. Will definitely go back. We tried the tagliatelle with Italian sausage, the tonkatsu carbonate, the gyozagna, and the sushi tacos. All were excellent, flavorful.

Food was delicious and service was very good. We had a great dining experience and would definitely go back to try other dishes on the menu
