We had such a great time! The food was delicious and the servings were very generous. (Couldn't finish the sandwich and home fries, took some home) the atmosphere was nice and relaxed and the service superb.

Great place to pop in and have lunch. Prompt service and the food was great.I had the chicken parm sandwich which was very good. Others had pizza and they raved about it. Awesome place with a trendy vibe.

Had brunch in this cute spot in Hamilton. Tried their take on chicken and waffles and it was definitely one of the best I've had in recent memory. Super delicious combination of flavors and the serving stuff was extremely kind and helpful. Would recommend.

Warm/intimate atmosphere, Perfect place for a date or a small group gathering. Customer service was professional and quick. Menu was small and simple, options such as pizza, pastas, and sandwiches, plenty of variety. Drinking menu offered various different drinks and cocktails. I had the Omar pizza which was sensational, I highly recommend trying it (Do not let the corn puree be the deciding factor, as for most it does not sound appealing, but I assure you it's excellent). The chicken on the pizza was cooked/sauced beautifuly, with a good amount on the pizza (they don't cheap out). Overall my experience was perfect, will be coming back soon to try out the rest on the menu. I want to thank the staff for the delightful evening, keep up the great work!

I liked this place because they offer gf pizza and their pizza crust is different than other places I’ve been. This place normally puts some kind of a sweet drizzle on the crust, that I love.I visited just this weekend and they’ve changed the crust. There is no sweet drizzle on the crust of the pizza and it is extremely thin crust. It now tastes a bit like a lot of the other pizza places I’ve been to. Still decent, however it is not the same as the original recipe which is the reason I go there.Hopefully they change back.Also, please be careful if you have a gluten allergy. I ordered gf but for some reason I received a regular pizza. Unfortunately I was unable to know, until a while after I had eaten.

We enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. Service was great. Unfortunately they were short staffed when we visited so it took quite a while to get out food. Our waitress was very nice and she was doing her best to make everything work.Parking: Some paid street parking available.

Had a wonderful brunch at Caro on James with a group of friends. Ashley was a terrific host and made our entire experience even more positive. The food was tasty, atmosphere was warm and inviting. Recommend for a small or large group.

If you're looking for a great Italian spot for a date or getting together with friends for lunch or dinner, this is a fantastic option. The food is always incredible and the service and atmosphere are always on point. Plus, it's location is phenomenal if you're planning to hit any events in the downtown core, or if you plan to sample any of the fantastic bars along James. It's also a seven minute walk from West Harbour GO, so if you have friends that are coming from out of town, it's perfect

A deceptively large space in what seems to be a hole in the wall. The food is top notch Italian, with fresh ingredients on classics. Recommend the short ribs and the mushroom pizza!
