A friend brought me here for a birthday dinner when I visited Winnipeg for a short visit and it was the best dinner I have had in Winnipeg. Having lived here in the early '80s, I now reside in Toronto and drop into town from time to time for a good meal. The 5 course fixed menu for $39 was... More

Restaurant was recommended by others who had been there. Just like we were told food was very good. If you are not a big eater this might not be the place for you. Appetizer and soup were tremendous. My wife's lamb was delicious while my pork was slightly overcooked but still very good. No complaints about service, we were taken... More

We have dined here twice and been impressed both times. Wouldn't want anyone to be put off by the outside of the building because inside the decor is eclectic and the atmosphere cosy altough a little cramped in some quarters. We were treated with respect, the waiter was knowledgeabe about the wine and menu options, friendly and prompt with our... More

My husband and I have been to Cafe Dario 5 times and each and every time we have had incredible food choices with the friendliest of service. I have read some reviews that state that they find it pricey but I challenge them to go to any other restaurant of decent quality and order an appetizer, soup, salad, entree and... More

Had reservations at Cafe Dario with friends the evening of Feb 22. We were seated promptly. Our friends arrived right after us - yet it took a while for the server to take a drink order. The older server took an order for a bottle of wine from our friends and then took off - assuming the bottle was for... More

I have been here twice, and very much enjoyed both visits. I am surprised by the couple of reviews speaking of bad service--I have only experienced friendly service. You can tell the family who runs the restaurant enjoy needling eachother, etc, but that only adds to the warm, comfortable atmosphere. The restaurant is located in a converted house in an... More

I have heard nothing but good things about this place for ages, and decided to finally give it a go over the weekend. Our experience was pretty okay overall--some of the things we tried were awesome, other parts of our dinner were not even average. The menu here is set, but that doesn't mean you don't have a lot of... More

Visited here recently and had never seen it or heard of it before. It looks to be an old house turned into a restaurant. It is quite cozy in there so don't expect alot of privacy. I am guessing the place might hold maybe 50 people or something ? Very friendly service and they provided a one sheet memo with... More

A small home converted into a great restaurant. Not the location you would expect, but excellent dining. Somewhat cramped. Fixed price menu with interesting choices. Service is good, but the place is quite hectic. Nice wine list Definitely worth a try.

We arrived on a cold winters night to a cozy, private table at this unusual restaurant in the city's north end. The location is a little odd but the menu and service were terrific. Four of us were treated to a very warm reception. The service was extremely personalized as we were the only ones in our part of the... More
