" An authentic Italian experience! The food truly takes you to Italy. From the delicious cavatelli con salsiccia to the flavorful risotto, each dish was a testament to Italian culinary mastery. The atmosphere couldn't be better—a charming little spot perfect for intimate dinners. The service was friendly and efficient. A bit on the pricier side, but definitely worth every penny for the quality you receive. I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Caro Mio was delightful! Their artisanal pasta dishes were fantastic, and you could literally taste the quality in every bite. The cavatappi with sausage was a highlight, rich and savory. The restaurant had a nice buzz going on which enhanced the atmosphere. The service was efficient. I also enjoyed that it's BYOB—makes it feel like a homey gathering. I will definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my experience at Caro Mio! The homemade pasta was like a taste of Italy right in the heart of Chicago. The service was attentive without being intrusive, which made our meal even better. We ordered the gnocchi and ravioli, both of which were delicious and generously sized. Though the restaurant is small and can get a bit crowded, the intimate vibe adds to its charm. It's also great that it's BYOB! Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Italian food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great place with wonderful Italian dishes. The meal started with a delicious bruschetta, and we moved on to the homemade lasagna, which was heavenly. The atmosphere can get a little loud when it's busy, but that just adds to the charm. Overall, the service was attentive and friendly. Can’t recommend Caro Mio enough if you love authentic Italian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I was eagerly looking forward to a yummy dinner at Caro Mio based on reviews, the experience did not live up to the hype for me. The service was friendly, but my pasta was too salty, which made it hard to enjoy. My partner's dish was decent, but again lacked the authentic flavors I was hoping for. The ambiance was nice; however, I think there are better Italian spots in the city worth trying before returning to Caro Mio. " (*Curated Review*)

" An unforgettable dining experience at Caro Mio! The food was phenomenal, especially their gnocchi. Atmosphere was cozy and conducive to a pleasant dinner. The staff were wonderfully friendly and attentive without being overbearing. I felt like I was transported to Italy during my meal, enjoying every bite. The BYOB aspect made it feel even more special! Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)
