Caro on James

We got the Brussel sprouts, gnocchi and the omar(?) pizza. All very fresh and tasty, would kill for the pasta. Street parking. Friendly server. Can sometimes get busy, so suggest to call ahead.

I just ordered Gluten Free Pizza on Uber Eats & it was inedible on so many levels. There was burnt parchment paper breaking apart all underneath the pizzas and flakes of it burnt on top. Yet the dough was completely under cooked and mealy, I tried to eat it - absolutely disgusting. It was completely falling apart because of that and looked like there were chunks out of it. PLUS there’s supposed to be ricotta cheese on the 3 pigs(we’ve had this pizza many times) - but it was clearly mozzarella or boccocini - not ricotta - inaccurate. I’m extremely displeased as I was a LONG time customer. They’ve lost my trust. It’s unbelievable they would send that food out.

Good food and great atmosphere! My favourite thing about this place was the interior - they had dim yellow lights, and an open oven where you can see the cook making your pizza and such. Lots of seating and feels romantic! The service was also perfect and very attentive on this Thursday night. We ordered the Caro Bread, a margarita pizza, the “This Pizza Is Terrible”, and the carbonara pasta. Everything was pretty good but not stunning. I don’t recommend the Caro bread as it was very simple-tasting and honestly something you can easily make at home. The “This Pizza Is Terrible” was a plain pizza you basically pay for the portion, which is so worth the it in my opinion! The carbonara was great and the meat was gorgeously tasty on its own. Would recommend this place for a little date night out!

Service was very good, with the waiter refilling our water multiple times during the meal. Pasta was very hot but was a bit too salty for our liking. I found Gnocchi was a bit mushy. Also the chairs were very hard.

I liked the pizza. Delicious! Margherita and pepperoni are the best to my family taste. The only disappointment was not very clean space in general. It was dusty and with bread crumbs on the table… but the cousin is definitely worth going to this place and I’m gonna go back some time again.

I am blown away about my experience with this restaurant today I was sitting in my car on James Street wondering where am I going to eat? I have a gluten allergy. I looked online gluten-free restaurants near me or gluten, friendly, and this restaurant came up. I called and said do you make gluten-free pizza thinking their dough was probably frozen she said absolutely I came in and I had this most delicious pizza, best gluten-free pizza ever in 15 minutes Thank you so much for caring and for serving this!

Dinner night in Hamilton with friends. Italian food it is. Polenta Fries (7.9/10). Came with a cheese sauce. Not as big as others Ice got before. Good. Garlic Bread & Cheese (7.8/10). Need more melted cheese and I'd recommend it. Great flavour. Caro Bread (7.1/10). Bread with cheese, tomato sauce and other toppings. Loaded, but not that interesting. Chicken Parmesan (7.4/10). Filling and tasty. Came with toast instead of another type of bread. Very carb heavy. Lasagna (7.3/10). Thick noodles. Lots of cheese. A little bland in flavour with little meat. Chocolate Gelato (7.9/10). Really good. Maybe could've been a touch sweater with something paired or added with to be recommended. Friends had carbonara, gnocchi and tiramisu which looked really good.

The Pizza, Wine and Bread sticks were great and this is really a good date spot. The Pizza was well done and made in a wood oven which was a treat. The wine and appetizers were good, the staff was friendly and the atmosphere was great. Nice design and not loud or chaotic. The speakeasy is next door, which is convenient if you want somewhere for drinks after dinner. Being on James, this is a great spot to start your night and head out from. We'll be back.
