    Fried Calamari
    Charissa F.

    Loved our experience at Calo! Favorite dish was the calamari and the delicious focaccia bread that came to the table. It's a very comfy place with delicious pasta and appetizers. The service was great and we enjoyed ourselves after a long graduation ceremony

    Love that parking is included and it's conveniently located right across the street. It may have been an off night but the parking attendant took forever to give and retrieve the parking pass. It was a bit chilly out but it definitely prolonged getting into the restaurant and leaving the lot. Hostess was very nice and accommodating. We came on a busy Thursday night around 7pm and it was extremely busy. I havent seen it this busy since before COVID. Glad to see business is doing well. She said the wait would be around 15 minutes, but we definitely waited less than 10. Appreciated her underpromising and over delivering. The service was satisfactory, the waiter was extremely busy which was understandable. The food was okay. I didn't really enjoy my seafood ravioli as it was pretty bland. There were only two shrimp provided and there was no sauce or anything on it. It looked like it was just boiled and placed on the plate. The fried mozzarella we had as an appetizer was great. My partner didn't love his meal either but did enjoy the drinks. They had an elderflower spritz that he really enjoyed. I would return as I've had the pizza here, as well as the vodka pasta. Hope the next time the food is better because the service and the convenience of parking makes it a great spot.

    Came here for a birthday lunch on a Sunday. No reservations, just showed up shortly after opening. I was on the hunt for linguine vongole & I've heard Calo is it. The restaurant was empty but soon became busy as time passed. The decor & ambience was wonderful. I appreciated the photos adorning the walls. Service was stellar & attentive. The bread came & focaccia was the best! Couldn't get enough of it, but I had to stop as calamari was coming & so was my pasta. Both were outstanding!!! The vongole was everything I wanted & then some. I will absolutely be back for this pasta as it's my favorite & I'm happy I chose Calo for a birthday meal. Thanks again!

    TDLR: Big portions, easy parking, chill vibes with good food and the best bread I've ever had. Make a reservation! Food Big menu and big portions! - Bread comes out first and wooooow. My oh my, put butter on the piece of bread that looks likes it has tomatoes on it and you will love it. - Rigatoni al bosco: this was unlike any pasta that I have had. It comes in a garlic cream sauce with bacon sausage and onions. So good! Ambiance Large restaurant that can accommodate big groups. Tables are not scrunched together! Parking They have their own lot across the street, can't beat that! Reservation We came on a Monday night and the restaurant was full.

    Calo is an Italian staple in the Andersonville neighborhood. Huge portions and friendly service with tips if you need help figuring out what to order. Spacious booths for any size party. Menu Highlights Fettuccine Monte e Mare - generous chunks of seafood in a rich cream sauce. Definitely enough to take home for a second meal. minestrone soup with chunky vegetables cannoli for dessert!

    Caesar Salad
    Bryanna J.

    Delicious food, great ambiance, and wonderful service! We had a wonderful "dinner club" night. Ordered the delicious Caesar salad and calamari (not pictured because it was so delicious!). The pasta had huge portions. The bucatini cin pesto was AMAZING, the best dish. The most disappointing dish was the orecchiette, the bitterness from the rapini was overwhelming. Otherwise, every other dish was super tasty. I'd love to come back soon!

    Another fantastic dinner with their carry out service. We had our usuals and sausage pan pizza (not pictured). Every dish was delicious. Calo has become one of my family's go to when we don't feel like cooking. Parking is available right in front of the restaurant for pick up orders and a sizable parking lot across the street for dine-ins. I will continue to support them wherever I can.

    Longgg wait...restaurant not even that busy on a monday night but service sucks. Huge place with plenty of staff. No one came to our table. Waitress standing around and talking instead of taking orders or bringing our food out. We waited 40 minutes. Our food prob be waiting in the back but no one came to check on it. Couldnt wait any longer so asked waitress to pack our food.

    I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this place. The risotto es the BEST in the city ( or US not sure yet ) The only reason for the missing start is that hostess are usually not too friendly, usually the bussers are the BEST at customer service ( but the hostess as first impression are not a good start )

    I see staffers scratching themselves. This is poor hygiene. Also, the beer glass was dirty, likely not washed. I will not return.

The Italian beef + giardiniera half was good too, more savory and heavier, but the meat had more of a pulled texture than actual than expected. 7.5/10. The seafood skillet didn't really land for me. It had too much wine flavor and the breadcrumbs got soggy fast. 4/10. Overall, come here for the pizza only. That's what makes this spot worth fighting for reservations.

The onion rings, though, were absolutely fantastic. Service was top notch, and we were so well taken care of.

I'd definitely go back for a pint and to watch the game.

Food reviews: Truffle and mushroom tavern--light and well balanced. Delicate sweet notes from the red onion balance out the earthiness of the mushroom, truffle and charred crust. Cheese doesn't overwhelm the pie and compliments all ingredients with a salty bite Spicy vodka and sausage--so different than the first pie but equally as delicious! Vodka sauce has a deep flavor with only subtle heat. Sausage packs a ton of flavor. Heavier of the two pies since it had more cheese on it but my husband enjoyed Chocolate peanut butter sundae--birthday celebration treat brought by our server! Wow it's a must order. The puppy chow was an insanely smart ingredient to add for texture and bit of chocolate. Can't wait to return to try another specialty pie!
