Their pasta selection is great especially to those who are vegetarian. It was unfortunate that their pizza oven was not working. The drinks were also really good and my family really enjoyed our time at Caro.

Server was excellent, she explained that they were down for select draft beers due to a special event in Hamilton over the weekend which is very kind of her . She was very helpful and helping us select our meals. And she was very gracious throughout the evening . It was my wife's birthday and she offered a dessert as well which was very nice!

Very friendly service. Good food freshly made. Wide assortment of drink and food choices. Bar and seating area. Generous dessert portions. Nice for family, friends, date nights and any meal out.
