Caffe Mio

I went here with my best friend yesterday and we were blown away by the quality of the food. We split the Shrimp Diavolo as an appetizer and it was delicious (see photos), and our main plates were the Linguine Con Funghi and Penne Roberto, which I substituted the penne for linguini at no extra charge. I'm a huge foodie and both plates of pasta were among the best I've had in Ottawa. This place is a little on the pricier side but you pay for quality and an obviously experienced chef preparing your meal. Interesting fun fact: the waiter told us that the restaurant's building is over 100 years old!

The wine list was incorrect (a lesser vintage was actually available) and the menu hadn’t been updated to reflect a change. There were too many menu items with goat cheese, which is not red wine friendly, and the polenta was... umm... atypical. Acceptable service but, on balance, it was not a memorable evening.

Great service coupled with excellent food!
