    Came there on a Wednesday night for a wine tasting prior to dinner - which was very well done - wine selection was varied and delicious. Dinner of Eggplant parm and Steak Frites was excellent - perfectly prepared. One of our favorite Italian places.

    Ca Dario was excellent, as usual. Staff is warm and professional. They had the perfect table waiting for us - just the right spot for our pup to stretch out and not be in anyone's way. Our server, Francisco, was friendly and efficient. A wonderful evening with a fantastic dinner. Thank you!

    Picky Italian eater here! Stopped in for the first time and was surprised how good it was. The garlic bread rolls were addicting. I had the bolognese, and it was one of the best I’ve had. I wish there was one located in San Diego, closer to home. Definitely coming back next visit!
