BarFly's Review of Caro Amico

Very small bar (maybe 6 booths and a couple barstools) inside the first restaurant to bring pizza to PDX way back in the '50s. Oddly cool wood paneled space with yer typical Italian restaurant posters/decorations, and a sound system that cranks out super suave crooners of days gone by. Bar gets full menu service, and that pizza is unique and damn good. Downsides include occasional parking dilemmas and a distressingly early closing time.

We have been going to this restaurant for years and we absolutely love it. The penne pasta with alfredo sause and and prawns is amazing. The owner has always been very gracious and we have always had very good service.

Not so great.

Got the pizza and it was not that great, everything was overpriced and was treated poorly

Yucky

Overpriced, small portions, and bad service. Not at all worth the view.

I got laid in the bathroom here so it cant be too bad

Good pizza. (sorry about the bathroom)

Dont know if it was the owner but so old broad named elisa asked us to quiet down in the bar. Maybe that was the beyatch that was referred to earlier.

Great place to have a few drinks. Cute guys working and eating. A good place for a second or third date.
