Caffe Mio

Glosette Girl, Margot and I decided to take full advantage of slightly cooler temperatures last week to find a nice patio to enjoy. We found it one of our tried-and-true restaurants: Caffe Mio.

A little under twenty minutes walk from our house, in nearby Wellington West, Caffe Mio is an Italian restaurant that hits the right notes for us. We've eaten there, on and off, several times over the past few years and never left disappointed.

I like how it's family friendly but not overly kid-oriented (by that I mean kids are welcome but there aren't screaming brats running around the place making life miserable for everyone). Best of all is the service. Some Canadian waiters just don't seem to appreciate how much an impact service has on the dining experience. Bad service can really ruin a great meal while good service can turn a modest one into a wonderful dining experience. Every time we've been to Caffe Mio whoever we've had as a server has just been very prompt and... nice! 

A word of warning though: there is no kids menu. But that's fine. Margot enjoyed her thin crust "Italiano" pizza, while Glosette Girl enjoyed Salmon and I had Manicotti.

While I wouldn't go to Caffe Mio to impress a date (sorry Glosette Girl!!) I would definitely encourage anyone in the neighbourhood to check it out if they want to enjoy flavourful Italian food in a colourful setting.
