Caffe Mio

My sister and her friends brought me to a restaurant I have been wanting to try for some time. Caffe Mio is a beautiful family owned and operated Italian bistro, open for over 20 years. They are located on West Wellington. The ambiance is very romantic for the perfect date night and intimate for a dinner/drinks with friends. The staff were amazing, attentive and made recommendations to help us navigate the wine menu. The food we ordered looked amazing and tasted delicious, we got some bruschetta to share, I got their beet salad and shared some with my sister (because I love her) and each of us got a different main, I got the Gnocchi and added chicken, and the ladies got Gnocchi, Linguine Con Funghi and the Chicken Parmigiana with cream sauce. I am in love with the soft fluffy gnocchi! It was one of the best I have ever tasted, and my beet salad was delicious, I never thought I would find another beet salad to replace the one we lost at Nordik Spa, and that crispy pancetta was to die for, I would have ordered another! We loved our experience and can't wait to go back! This is a must try!! #supportlocal #ottawafoodiestalker

The place is really nice and the food and drink are great, BUT… this is not a cafe, and the name is very misleading. When I came to this place I expected a coffee menu, and to be able to sit down with my computer and do a few hours work in a nice atmosphere, instead, I was greeted by a waitress who checked in on me regularly, and kept offering me food, and I don’t blame her. Because this is not a cafe, this is a sit down restaurant with a misleading name. They don’t even have a coffee menu… as a restaurant I think it’s pretty great, but I don’t like that I expected a cafe and instead was roped into a restaurant experience.

I took my girlfriend to this place for the first time and was totally worth it. The vibes itself was over the moon🙏🏼❤️‍🔥 we went there way too many times since the first date. The chicken parm is absolutely delicious. The staff are lovely and friend. Amazing family operated cafe/restaurant and would suggest this place to many others!
