Welcome to Calo Italian Restaurant

Best Italian restaurant! If you are looking for Italian restaurant which is not only sell pizza, here is your best option. Our family visit here so many times. We love all their food and service. The restaurant is quite big. There are 2 rooms and bar seats. They open both lunch and dinner. Lunch is not quite busy you can get the table very easy. Dinner is busier. If you come during peak time, you might have to wait for the table. We went there on Thursday’s night around 8pm. There were 2 tables opened so we got seated right away. Complimentary breads are served right after you arrive at the table. Their bread are soft and delicious. I like to ask for olive oil, balsamic and cheese to eat with bread. Today we ordered 6 dishes for 4 people. All the food is big portions. We know that we are not going to finish them but we like them all. Starting with Polipetti Alla Griglia, it’s grilled octopus. It’s tender, not chewy at all. We finish it very fast. Following with 5 entree’s - Ravioli Di Aragosta Pasta : ravioli filled with lobster served with big shrimp in the white cream sauce. Shrimps are cooked to perfection. It’s my favorite dish. I order every time I visit. - Pappardelle Capesante Pasta : scallops with crimini mushrooms in creamy spinach sauce. Scallops are huge, meaty and yummy. I highly recommend this dish. It’s our family’s favorite dish especially my husband. We also get this dish every time. - Risotto Frutti Di Mare : risotto cooked to al dente with all seafood including big shrimps, huge scallops, squids, clams and mussels. We had this dish for the first time. The huge portion that we got compare with the low price that we paid. Its incredible!! This dish was not our style of risotto. We like it more creamy. However, the taste is good. We ordered 2 dishes from special menu. - Baby back ribs : this dish you can pick the side between pasta and potatoes. There are 3 different kinds of pasta with white or red sauce. Potato can be mashed potatoes or baked potatoes. The ribs are soft. You can pull the meat out of the bone very easy. The side pasta that we picked a little bit blend. - Whitefish : I can’t remember the name of this dish but it’s grilled whitefish with onion rings. This dish you can also pick the side dish. It’s kind of healthy dish but we aren’t so healthy. So, it’s nothing outstanding. I would say it’s ok for us….lol They also have so many options for pizza. I saw many people order pizza. It must be real good. We plan to order it next time. We didn’t get any dessert because we are super full. End up packing all the leftovers home which is we know it’s gonna happen. 😅 Our server is amazing. She is very attentive. They have full bar if you are drinkers. We didn’t get anything drink except root beer for my son. There is free parking offering across the restaurant. It’s so convenient. After everything we ordered, the bill came out less than $200.

Expensive..$70 for a steak… I didn’t expect that, fish $35 , food is great indeed, can’t complain at all but for those who can afford
