    Great food, tables are very close together, so noise level seemed high, service was fine. We both had ravioli which was wonderful. We got seated right by the front door, which resulted in a drafty situation with a lot of people waiting to get in quite near us. However it was a Saturday night with a very popular restaurant, so it is understandable. We would definitely go back, maybe at a less busy time.

    Menu has changed. New ownership? Portions smaller, entrees different in size, ingredients and taste. Disappeared but will give another try hoping it will be like it was. Family tradition going there.

    I ate my dinner fairly early in the evening. Service was good, but considering there were not many customers there not as efficient as I might have expected. The food was excellent as was the atmosphere. The location is wonderful for attending events at the various theaters downtown.

    An old classic that is showing signs of slipping. Still a pleasant place to eat with very solid wine list. But pasta a bit gummy and chicken dish overcooked. And the prices....

    Ca' Dario was a delightful Italian restaurant. I highly recommend the thinly sliced veal with tonnoto sauce, YUMMY! The pastas we cooked to a perfect al dente and the fish was divine. Excellent wine list. Great service. if you're looking for a small intimate place for date night, this is the place!
