Our dinner at Calo’s Ristorante was exceptional, marked by fresh flavors and a few creative surprises.
Highlights from the Table
• The Food: The Ravioli di Aragosta was fantastic—rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. My partner’s Linguini Frutti di Mare in white wine sauce was equally impressive, paired with a solid bowl of Clam Chowder. Don’t skip the Caesar Salad; the dressing is delicious.
• The Drink: I tried their unique Limoncello Martini. It was a fun departure from the norm—pink in color and spiked with rum. It tasted great and was a refreshing twist on a classic.
• The Finish: We ended with the Pistachio Gelato, which was easily the best part of the dessert menu. Smooth, authentic, and the perfect end to the night.
Bottom Line
From the creative cocktails to the standout lobster ravioli, Calo’s is a neighborhood gem that hits all the right notes.

Our family has been coming to your establishment for decades. We like to celebrate holidays or special occasions there. We appreciate your space and we like your menu. You have a parking lot that holds about 20 cars. First come first serve. I appreciate that too because Andersonville is not an ease area to park.
This time, I ordered something new for me and I fell for an image published on a review like this but my dish didn’t look anything like it. I start my eating with other senses like sight.

The caprese salad was fresh and delicious, and the spaghetti bolognese with shrimp and braised chicken was very good. Overall, the food was excellent. Service was friendly, though the pacing felt a little quick at times. Still a pleasant experience, and I’d be happy to return.

Classic Italian spot with great service and nice atmosphere. Parpadelle de funghi was amazing: the shrimp were very fresh and the mushrooms cooked to perfection. The Alfredo was solid with very tender chicken. Will definitely be back for their fried chicken night on a Monday.

Finally visited Calo Ristorante and absolutely loved it! The atmosphere is vibrant and friendly. They have a huge menu with lots of variety, and the portions are massive and delicious. A great spot in Andersonville for any occasion.

Strongly recommend this old school classic family owned Italian restaurant in Andersonville. We had a lovely Sunday evening experience. The top two reasons being service and quality of food. Brian, our server, was very accommodating and on top of it even though he was swamped and had many tables. I was really impressed he wrapped up food for us to go instead of bringing us a to-go box which is the norm these days. I was also very impressed by how polite and kind all the server staff was including bus boys and host. Food was excellent! Fried calamari was lightly breaded and very fresh, my main entree was the pesto and sun dried tomato with chicken pasta- fantastic! They even give you warm focaccia and bread to start with, salads and soups are Ala carte. I would go back for other entrees and dessert- coffee was delicious
Try this restaurant- you won’t be disappointed!!

Great food and service. Since ’63 when I was growing up in the neighborhood. Had a taste for the Linguini Frutti di Mare and it did not disappoint!! Great portions size. Friend had the Pollo Saltimbocca. And do not forget the fried calamari or drinks!!

I have been here twice. My first time was excellent. My server was attentive and the food was delicious. My second time was not an ideal experience. It started with the hostess being a bit rude when I told her I didn’t have a reservation, at 3 o’clock on a Saturday afternoon, with a half-empty restaurant. My entrée was brought out literally minutes after I ordered. I didn’t get any bread and asked for it several times. By the time it got to me, I was finished with my entrée. And there wasn’t any butter for the bread. I felt incredibly rushed and unwelcome. I’m glad my first experience was a positive one, so I plan to try again. Hopefully it was just an off afternoon.

My overall experience at this restaurant was not good. I will never come back upon entry. We were asked if we had a reservation. I wasn’t aware that they took reservations. i
And mind you, they had a whole dining room that was not being occupied at the current time We were seated at the front door there was a there was a table available next to us and we were being watched. Might I add myself and my sister-in-law are black. We did not feel welcome. The food was disgusting. I ordered fried calamari they told me they had a spicy calamari I expected maybe a little creole powder to be sprinkled on there. They poured a half a bottle of hot sauce on the food. I didn’t want to send it back because I already was not appreciating the energy in the room. And I was hungry because I hadn’t eaten all day Several people stood around and stared at us as if we were Out of place. I began to feel very uncomfortable. We ordered a special off of the entrée menu which consist of shrimp, scallop and mussels we split our meal. I got one shrimp, one scallop she got one Shrimp and one scallop, and neither one of us got muscles which was also included in the dish according to the special menuI could taste the
jar juice from the asparagus because it was not fresh as well as the sun-dried tomato. I feel like the food wasn’t prepared
properly purposely the next day when I went to work I had diarrhea actually when I left the restaurant my stomach was bloated from all of that hot sauce. I guess they assume all Black people like their food drowned in hot sauce. I didn’t see any black employees working there. This is a place that I would never recommend to anyone they are not an inclusive restaurants. Their food is disgusting and I think it was prepared that way because I mentioned that I had a gift card and I guess they assumed we were low class and sat us by the door and watched us because maybe they assumed we were going to dine and dash I haven’t been to this restaurant in years. I can’t remember why but I do know that I’ll never return again if there was a zero star button that’s what I would’ve chosen. And my coupon was wasted, and my business was not appreciated. I appreciate my friend that gave me the gift card. She had great intentions, but this is the place that if you don’t wanna have diarrhea the next day you shouldn’t eat there.

I’d heard good things. I went there and those things were confirmed. I ordered grilled Calamari with a side of pasta. It was so good. My first time having grilled Calamari. It came with beans and I wanna say kale. It was delicious. My pasta was as well. There are many items on the menu. I have to return to try more. Oh, my waiter was great. He made recommendations that were suitable to me. Great place. It fills up quick so it’s best to make a reservation.
