Decided to try some of my favorites again, first the corn chowder soup followed by the Fett Chili pasta. There were no regrets! Thinking about it now makes me hungry. We shared a special crisp dessert that had cashews what a unique addition. Our meal was great!

Always make a point to visit Cafe Carlo anytime we’re in the Peg. Consistent food, friendly efficient service & nice vibe.

Excellent, fresh, Great tasting Food! Service was excellent! Waitress very efficient.

We’ve been having our Christmas lunch there since Cafe Carlo opened and we always enjoy our time there.

Great food and service! The "Fantasy" is the best! Be prepared for some noise on a busy Friday or Saturday evening.

Great place! Have been going for many years. Always loved he menu and the specials. My fav, and a must have with all meals is the corn chorizo soup!

Always great food!

It was all good until I received my artic char plate. The fish was dry and hard. My husband enjoyed his pasta dish. Seafood chowder was good but overpriced. Service was really good. Really nice cozy and modern decor.

Friendly, attentive, knowledgeable staff. Incredibly delicious food. We arrived early, staff came and recognized us, welcomed us and we were quickly seated. We didn't feel rushed nor did we feel neglected. Super nice evening.

Overall, Cafe Carlo met our expectations. Service was good for the most part. They should have reviewed our bill before giving it to us. There were 4 entrees on the bill instead of our two. When I questioned the bill, I was asked what was wrong with the bill. I asked them to review the number of entrees which prompted them to realize that there was an issue with the bill. This was remedied immediately.

Met a friend for lunch on a Saturday. Very quiet. Had a glass of their house white and their Fett Chile. Both were fantastic. The bread and honemade butter were also very good. Would highly recommend this place.

I was pleased you had gluten free options and you got back promptly to me when I enquired before making my reservation. The food was tasty altho mine was a bit spicier than I had anticipated and since I was celiac and could not eat bread my server took my dish back to the kitchen and had them add extra cream sauce to dilute the spice was which was perfect. My only advice
Would be to have some frozen gluten free
Bread on hand which could be defrosted when needed for celiac customers . As a celiac I don’t care if it’s made in the premises I just care that it’s gluten free . Or you could use Cocoa Bean down the road for their fresh baked gluten free bread . Again thanks for providing gluten free entrees . It was a lovely meal and a nice time .

We go often, and have reviewed before, they just never disappoint <3

One of our favourite places to celebrate special occasions Always good food and excellent service.

Server Tara was spectacular, food was outstanding. It got s little loud when the place filled up.

Cafe Carlo is consistently wonderful. Great neighbourhood restaurant.

Great food, great service! My wife & I had a great time celebrating our 37th anniversary.

This place is so good. The fantasy is amazing.

Anniversary

Our second time visiting! Love the coziness incredible menu. I’m still dreaming of the birthday cake semifreddo we had at dessert!!

Delicious food, served in a comfortable, quiet atmosphere by an attentive and charming server.

We have been going here for sometime and never are dissatisfied. Food is fresh , hot and flavourful.

The online reserving is very convenient.
Third time at Cafe Carlo.
Excellent food.
Service was prompt (not a busy night).
Don’t require a fawning server; ours was cool-ish but adequate.
Will return and will recommend Cafe Carlo to friends, relatives & acquaintenances.

We enjoyed everything about this place as never been before. Great ambiance. Friendly helpful service. Food was tasty, good presentation and interesting. I had the veal sandwich with the side salad. Took home half for another meal. My friend had the hot and sour soup which she enjoyed and had the fish sandwich and couldn't eat it all. Free parking on side streets. They let us stay and chat to catch up. Lovely afternoon. Would highly recommend and will go back.

We waited 15 mins to be seated despite having a reservation. Restaurant is busy and noisy. Decor is nothing to get excited about. When the front door opens in the colder weather, you feel a blast of cold air on your legs. Service was pretty mediocre. Our server said she was a friend of the owner - perhaps that is how she keeps her job. No enquiry as to how our meals were and she asked 3 of the 4 of us about tea/coffee but completely forgot about /ignored my wife. House Pinot Grigio was good but overpriced. Food was OK but not spectacular. My seafood penne was overbaked and a little dry. None of the other 3 were wowed by their dishes. We have been there before and all aspects of the evening were better. Perhaps we hit them on an off night - hopefully.

This restaurant never disappoints and remains one of my absolute favorites. I usually have a pasta dish but branched out this time to have the pesto chicken with goat cheese - delicious! The food was paired with great service in a warm, casual setting. What more can you ask for?

The food was really good and so was the service. Overall a really nice dinner spot. Certainly recommend it

Food was excellent as always. Never a disappointment.
The place was so busy that our isle table wasn’t the best place to be seated with all the traffic.

Service was amazing! Food was incredible. Lucked out with the corner table which was perfect for our anniversary date. Cant wait to go again!

As usual the food was prepared to perfection, we started with the mussels in the Diablo sauce whichs it is our favorite appetizer. The house wine was a perfect match with our meals.The wife had the seafood pasta was plentiful with all fish favorites, lobster, shrimp, crab legs, scallops in creamy white sauce. I had fettuccine chili , which is also excellent . This restaurant is our go to , when we celebrate anniversarys, birthdays at this establishment, or outtown guests.

Food was amazing (as usual), service was good however we were planing on having another drink after dinner and without asking our bill was presented. Also we had requested a quiet area and purposely made a very early 5 pm reservation and the second table to be sat was RIGHT beside us... then shortly after a table on the other side of us when the restaurant was still empty.

One of my favourite restaurants in Winnipeg!! Good everything and one of few restaurants where you can have normal conversation across the table. Something about the acoustics that really work!!!

Always delicious, always excellent service. This is an amazing Winnipeg restaurant institution that has been in business for decades! Do yourself a favour and come here!

We chose Cafe Carol for a special birthday dinner and they didn’t disappoint. Service was great and food fantastic. We started with spring rolls and each chose a different entree: I started with the corn & chorizo soup followed with the Baked Penne (baked with cran, lobster, prawns, scallops and citrus cream). I loved every bite. My companions chose the Spag Boo and the Vong with salads to start. Both also very tasty choices with raves for the salads. We finished with coffee, latte and a cappuccino (we each chose something different) with a shared Apple, blueberry, cashew crisp with ice cream. Crisps are not my go to choice for desserts but I was not disappointed! While Cafe Carlo has a warning that reservations during the time period we booked are limited to a 2 hour time frame, we did not feel rushed. Our orders were taken quickly but without pressuring us for choices. We also had wine to start and we felt that the server was attentive and everything moved along at a good pace without being rushed. Every bite of food was exceptional and we’ll definitely be back in the future.

Love going every time. Just happened to be a packed house and felt louder than usual.

Great food great time, service was exceptional!

Had a great evening. Food was delicious and the service was phenomenal. Our server kept smiling every time she approached our table and heard our silly banter. She said we made her night but she actually made ours!!!

Went with 96 year old uncle,and cousin from Ottawa. Both were very happy with the food as were we. Uncle had the pickerel, one had the ravioli, one the pappardelle, and I had the Fett Chile. My Fett Chile was nicely spicy and a good sized helping. Enough for next day's lunch. Spring rolls for an appetizer, which were also a little spicy but not overly so. A nice bottle of Cotes de Rhone red wine and a shared piece of chocolate dessert. As the restaurant filled up, it got a little noisier, but not so much that we couldn't hear one another. Servers were very prompt and pleasant.
