Cafe Dario - Winnipeg

This is a different place than the regular chain restaurant and is very reasonable for what you get. If your celebrating something this is a great option. Food, service and ambiance are very good.

After much anticipation I finally visited Cafe Dario Friday evening. It was everything I’d hoped it would be. My husband and I went with another couple and we all enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Each course was delicious and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was relaxed and cozy we were able to all have a conversation at the table and not have to shout to be heard. Our server was so friendly and attentive (and also celebrating his birthday), and just added to our overall experience. It was a fantastic place we all agreed we would return and recommend in the future.

Great food, 5 fabulous courses! Many gluten-free options. Creative, flavourful dishes. Friendly, attentive service. Best meal out in a long time!

I have had dinner and lunch twice now at Care Dario's, and I have never been disappointed. This has become my favourite romantic dinner date restaurant in the city; the special on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday is great (dinner for 2 with a bottle of house wine, $109). The food is exquisite here. Last night my partner had the elk ossobuco and he said it was the best meal he ever ate. I had the spicy escargot with mushrooms as an appetizer and loved early bite of it, and had the beef tenderloin with chimmichurri, and it was cooked to perfection. I love the atmosphere here, it's a small restaurant decorated with masks all over the walls. The dinner courses are brought out slowly, so be prepared to dine and have lots of time to chat with whoever you are having dinner with. Dario, the owner and head chef, came out during the meal to chat with all the patrons, he is hilarious and clearly cares about ensuring his guests have a great experience. He even took drinks orders for people and helped his waitress bus a table. All around, a great experience every time. Seriously one of Winnipeg's best restaurants.

Cafe Dario is an amazing restaurant!!. Went for a meal last night and was blown away by the delicious food .. atmosphere.. and price. The variety and beautiful presentation of each dish was fantastic. Highly recommend for the flavorful cuisine, cozy setting and friendly staff. Truly a little gem in our city!.
