Caffe Mio turned into a perfect late evening retreat for some hot drinks, nice conversation and a scrumptious dessert.
The dish we settled on was the maple nut creme brulee and I have no regrets.
The interior of Caffe Mio is tastefully decorated and quite intimate. The server was quick to greet us and get us set up with some hot beverages. I joked that my cappuccino was topped with more foam than the bubble baths I had as a kid --- but it tasted much better.
Our dessert arrived and was shared but I easily could have eaten the entire creme brulee to myself. It was very good.
I'm not a big dessert person and will actually settle for a slab or vanilla ice cream over anything fancy like what we ordered. Heck, even a tub of no name ice cream will do. But I have to admit that Caffe Mio can do good desserts.
Two specialty hot drinks and a decent size dessert came to under $15.
I'd go back in the future and next time probably for more than just their dessert. -

Went in as a party of 2 with a $40.00 living social coupon that was about to expire the next day. Unfortunately they are closed Sunday's, so we booked Saturday night for 9:30pm.
Heads up if you ever purchase a groupon or living social coupon for this restaurant:
1. They will not take your coupon if you do not make reservations, which means, no walk in couponers.
2. Alcoholic beverages are not included.
3. Double check to make sure before hand with the waiter, that the items you ordered are redeemable for this coupon. You just never know...
4. The amount on your bill must be over the value of your coupon, not less. Their computer system does not give credit notes/cash back if your final bill is less than the amount on your coupon.
5. Eat in only, no take out.
On to the food. We ordered 1 appetizer; garlic cheese bread, 2 entrees; italiano flat bread pizza and a pasta dish, a pepsi as well as an espresso.
Portion sizes were more than enough. Pizza was about the size of a medium pizza; 6 slices. It was alright, but better the next day cold; for some reason it was more flavorful. The pasta was alright, but had better. The garlic cheese bread was delicious; you get four pieces.
Great thing is that they are not stingy on the cheese.
Total bill came to $46.00.
The service was good. Food came out fast, possibly because we were the last patrons ordering from the kitchen.
Place is quaint. Typical Westboro restaurant. Great prices, between $12-20 per person. Large portions. Elegant, but relaxed. Did not enjoy the television in the restaurant. I found that it was an unneeded distraction, and lowered the brand and feel of the restaurant.
Would I go back again? Maybe. -

We recently had lunch here and found the food to be reasonably good. Unfortunately, our experience with the service was less so. Our friends had bought a LivingSocial coupon for the restaurant which they refused to honour, saying that they would only honour it if our friends had called ahead to make a reservation, had dinner, and had at least two entrees. The coupon did not stipulate these conditions, they ordered three entrees, and they brought us in to the restaurant (we paid full price for our meal of two entrees). When our friends took it up with the owner, he was rude to them and trivialized their complaints. Maybe LivingSocial turned out to be a raw deal for the owner, but is it really worth $20 to turn off repeat business?

While I haven't been here for awhile, I have had really good experiences here both for lunch and dinner. It's a cozy restaurant, but in the summer it expands as they have a patio outside facing Wellington. The food is simple, nicely presented and uses lovely fresh ingredients. Creative soups and salads, delicious sandwiches and pastas, ample servings, decent wine list and all quite reasonably priced. Nice staff too!
