The food was definitely a little pricer for the portion size but that doesn't detract from how good it was. We got the momos, gnocchi and the tonkatsu curry. Everything was great. Would go again.

                                                            Went there for my wife's birthday. The staff were knowledgeable and gave us a very informative lesson on Sake and Tea. We shared the momos, then had the Gyozagna and the Tonkatsu Carbonara Curry as our mains. We had the cheesecake and the parfait for dessert paired with a wonderful tea. I can't emphasize enough just how good the food was. We will definitely be back to try everything else on the menu.

                                                            I always enjoys the seafood pasta. Spaghetti with an Asian twist. The vegetarian ragu pasta is also delicious. We always have a good meal there. Also there a tea master there most days. We always enjoy a special cup of hot tea after dinner

                                                            Carino is an absolute MUST try! The spicy wagyu miso ramen and gyozagna were phenomenal and and they really nailed it on the japanese italian fusion taste. The atmosphere was immaculate and the servers were incredibly attentive and made us feel super comfortable. 10/10 experience will be coming back!

                                                            This is one of the best, if not the best spot, in Calgary.
