Very delicious meal with my daughter for her 25th birthday day. Our server was friendly and attentive. My Negroni was so amazing!

I just ordered Gluten Free Pizza on Uber Eats & it was inedible on so many levels. There was burnt parchment paper breaking apart all underneath the pizzas and flakes of it burnt on top. Yet the dough was completely under cooked and mealy, I tried to eat it - absolutely disgusting. It was completely falling apart because of that and looked like there were chunks out of it. PLUS there’s supposed to be ricotta cheese on the 3 pigs(we’ve had this pizza many times) - but it was clearly mozzarella or boccocini - not ricotta - inaccurate. I’m extremely displeased as I was a LONG time customer. They’ve lost my trust. It’s unbelievable they would send that food out.
Not sure what happened to this place. The gluten free pizza used to be amazing.
It seems like the dough is now different as well as the toppings.
Quality definitely seems worse. The final straw was the last pizza we ordered, which was somehow burnt and undercooked. Raw dough and charcoal on the pizza.
It's a shame because this used to be the best gluten free pizza in Hamilton.
We had a great time! The gelato was especially delicious

Good food and great atmosphere! My favourite thing about this place was the interior - they had dim yellow lights, and an open oven where you can see the cook making your pizza and such. Lots of seating and feels romantic! The service was also perfect and very attentive on this Thursday night. We ordered the Caro Bread, a margarita pizza, the “This Pizza Is Terrible”, and the carbonara pasta. Everything was pretty good but not stunning. I don’t recommend the Caro bread as it was very simple-tasting and honestly something you can easily make at home. The “This Pizza Is Terrible” was a plain pizza you basically pay for the portion, which is so worth the it in my opinion! The carbonara was great and the meat was gorgeously tasty on its own. Would recommend this place for a little date night out!

I loved this place. Fair prices. The best cacio e pepe I've had outside Italy. The gluten free crust is suspiciously good

Caro used to be my go-to place at both locations before 2023, but tonight’s visit was disappointing.
I reserved a table for 4 on OpenTable, and upon check-in, I told the server we had 4 people. We were seated, ordered food and drinks, and after my first sip of beer, the server came over to ask if we’d switch to a table for 4 instead of sitting at one for 5. They apologized while standing by with a tray, ready to move our glasses, leaving us no choice but to agree.
After we moved, our food arrived, and not a single dish was good. No one checked on us or refilled our water. The daily soup was extremely salty, like it hadn’t been tasted before serving. We mentioned this when asking for the bill, and the soup was voided.
Would not recommend.

Their pasta alla vodka is my go-to from now on, but their pizzas are also great.

Bought very basic food items, but they were all tasty. The server was kind and helpful. Overall it was good, but nothing super stood out to make it 5 stars in the food category. Seeing the pizza oven is a nice thing for the atmosphere.
Dietary restrictions: They offer gluten free pizza crust which was great.
Kid-friendliness: They have highchairs but no change tables in the washrooms.

Service was very good, with the waiter refilling our water multiple times during the meal. Pasta was very hot but was a bit too salty for our liking. I found Gnocchi was a bit mushy. Also the chairs were very hard.

I liked the pizza. Delicious! Margherita and pepperoni are the best to my family taste. The only disappointment was not very clean space in general. It was dusty and with bread crumbs on the table… but the cousin is definitely worth going to this place and I’m gonna go back some time again.
