  • Charming
One of Winnipeg’s most loved and consistent neighbourhood restaurants, Cafe Carlo’s warm, unpretentious atmosphere has been a staple since 1989. Cafe Carlo’s food and drinks are a big hello to the full flavours of the world with a flirtatious wink to Italy.
Created to be craved with delicious dishes like Fett Chile, sometimes classic, sometimes modern and always fresh. Cafe Carlo’s sharing plates, pastas, seafood and daily specials offer something to be savoured with a big glass of wine or a cocktail.
Join us for a satisfying experience as you run in to friends or make new ones.

    I love this place. Family owned and with high culinary and hospitality standards, I’ll definitely return. The Fett Chile is amazing, and this place is home to Winnipeg’s BEST Caesar Salad.

    Ambience was perfect for our small group of 3. Trevor was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive - would definitely request him on my next visit. Food was delicious and the Dine About Winnipeg menu allowed us to save a bit of money while also having 3 courses. Entrees were generous in portions - my son had two lunches with the leftover Chili Fett :) Excellent experience - I’ll be back very soon.

    Highly recommend. Food is exceptional. Service was amazing. Can get noisy but never really distracting from conversation going on at the table.
