    This was our second visit to Carino, and it’s safe to say it definitely won’t be our last. It has already secured a spot as one of our absolute favourite restaurants. This time, we started with the Ahi Tuna Carpaccio, which was beautifully prepared—fresh, delicate, and full of flavour. A perfect start to our dinner. 10/10 For the main course, I went for the Pan-Seared Scallops. They were cooked to absolute perfection, with a beautifully caramelised crust on the outside and a tender, melt-in-your-mouth centre. They were simply divine. The scallops were served on a bed of creamy risotto, which complemented the dish wonderfully. 10/10 My partner opted for the Lamb Lamb!! Lamb!!!, the lamb was incredibly tender, packed with flavour, and cooked to absolute perfection. Definitely a standout dish. 10/10 The service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere was just as inviting as it was the first time. — We’re already looking forward to our next visit.

    The food is so creative - tried their vegan pasta & it was to the point. Also tried their Nepalese momos with arrabita sauce - so creative again!!! The sauce was awesome & chicken momos were to the point. Won't order veg momos though. Do try their desserts too; the sesame tiramisu was sharp & unique

    The staff always makes our meals feel special. We've been going to Carino for about a year and we'll be coming back every time we are able too. Truly creative and unique food with some of the most complex, complete and stunning flavours I've ever had. Our favorite Calgary restaurant, truly the best of the best

    Such a great evening at Carino! Our first time there and we were very impressed. All the food was amazing and the service from Josh was absolutely fantastic. Especially enjoyed the vast tea menu and all the great suggestions. I can see why this place is so busy. A real gem!

    One of the best spots in Calgary. Especially if you want to try something very unique. Get the momos for appetizers And the Wagyu Bolognese lasagna

    Once again an absolute amazing experience. I took my girlfriend here for her birthday and it never misses. We had the Sizzling Tonkatsu Curry Carbonara Special as well as the Bucatini w/ Wagyu Meat Sauce. Both excellent choices on the Japanese + Italian twist! We ended our dinner with the Parfait which was one of the best Desserts we’ve both had. Super refreshing with the Green Tea Panna Cotta combined with the Soybean Ice cream. Will always come back to Carino because on top of the great food is the great service!

    Wonderful first experience at Carino! Each dish we got was better than the one before. Our waitress helped with a sake selection and checked in with our table the perfect amount. The restaurant is tight and very busy, but it added to the ambiance if anything. Thanks Carino!
