A photo of Caro Amico Italian Cafe restaurant
4.8
Exceptional(548)
$$$$
• Italian • Southwest Portland
Booked 3 times today
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.

Stayed in the Crystal Hotel for 2 nights while seeing a show at the ballroom. Ate all our meals here at Hal’s during that time. Warm and welcoming service and the food was enjoyable.

I just moved back to Portland and had not been to Eleni's in a long time. They did not dissappoint! Everything we had was amazing and the service was perfect. Highly recommend the Dolmas with tzatziki (best I have ever had!)
