Cannot wait to go back to try more of the menu. And they have specials that change often. We got the octopus and filet. Both came with gnocchi but different sauces. Octopus dish had the tiniest spice to it. The sauce with the filet was my favorite. Drinks were delicious and pretty. And they have bleu cheese olives.

Went there Saturday with family and friends. What a great night!…read more Two of us had the lasagna and it was incredible. This isn't the usual lasagna. It's similar to what you know, but different! I bet it had 10 layers. The sauce was definitely made in-house. Not too sweet, not too bitter/sour. The one thing that's different with Calvino's is I couldn't detect or find any ricotta cheese, and I didn't miss it. It was a very generous portion, and it was perfectly cooked. No dry pasta or burned edges. I opted to add some Italian sausage which was the perfect addition. The other person who ordered this added sausage and ground beef and said that his was perfect. Either way, you can't go wrong! Another person at our table ordered the butternut squash ravioli. She was kind enough to let me try a piece and it was absolutely amazing! She ordered it with the olive oil and garlic sauce, which was the perfect pairing. This was as good or better than the butternut squash ravioli at Martini's in Columbus. The pasta had great texture (definitely fresh pasta) and the filling wasn't gluey in any way (this filling can have a tendency for textural issues). I'm definitely ordering it on my next visit! Someone ordered the chicken and pesto sandwich and raved about it. The last person at the table ordered the linguine with olive oil, garlic and mushrooms and again, it was perfection. All entrees were served with bread (ahhhh, those great little nuggets of fresh baked bread, drizzled in butter and sprinkled with cheese...) and a really nice, fresh salad. I would bet that the dressings are all homemade too! From past experience I can attest to the stromboli being outstanding (get the Godfather!)! The pizzas going by the table looked pretty amazing too, but I've not had their pizza. Appearances can be deceiving, but from the looks of the pies and quantity of people ordering them, they have to be pretty great too. Calvino's does not have a full bar, but they do have an extensive wine selection and some nice beers to choose from. If everyone at the table is ordering wine, go for the bottle as it will save you money. They have some really nice, inexpensive wines that pair very well with pasta - you won't break the bank on wine (but you could...)! All in all, it was a great night! The bill for the two of us came to $55.00 (that's including the tip)! The service was great, the food was outstanding - the best Italian meal I've had in Toledo, hands down.

Unfortunately, the overall dining experience didn't live up to the atmosphere. Service started off well but became increasingly slow and disjointed throughout the meal. There appeared to be plenty of staff, yet several things had to be requested more than once. We also weren't offered dessert or coffee and had to ask. When coffee eventually arrived, it was barely warm. The food was very hit or miss. The side salad with white balsamic dressing was delicious, and the olive tapenade was good, although the bread was surprisingly dry. The vodka sauce had great flavor but was extremely oily. We appreciated that the pasta is made in house, but unfortunately several pasta dishes were noticeably overcooked. Some of the chicken was dry and underseasoned, and the red sauce had a somewhat processed or jarred flavor. The pizza was decent but nothing particularly memorable. There were also some issues with special requests not being followed, and rather than correcting one of the meals, a discount was offered instead. Overall, several people at the table were disappointed with their food. The restaurant has a great location, unique decor and some genuinely good flavors, but the inconsistent food and service overshadowed the positives during our visit. Hopefully it was just an off night, but based on this experience, we would not return.

Today was my first visit despite living just across the river, and a city-wide pizza passport I received as a Christmas gift from my sister finally sparked the trip. I'm so glad it did. I ordered a personal pan pepperoni pizza (more like a perfectly sized thin crust) and a glass of wine--exactly what I needed to decompress after a stressful week in healthcare. Rickie, the bartender, was attentive, kind, and thoughtful throughout the evening. The pizza makers were apologetic about the delay in getting orders out, but I didn't mind at all--I was perfectly content decompressing with my glass of wine while enjoying the delicious complimentary bread and savory butter. It made for the perfect setting to study for yet another exam. Toward the end of my visit, the manager, Mark, stopped by to chat briefly about some of the cool things happening in our city. The entire experience truly felt like sitting at the family dinner table, surrounded by the comforting bustle of a meal being prepared. Although they're open for dinner only, it's a fantastic spot with great happy hour selections. I'll definitely be back for the meatballs... and more pizza.

Service can be a tad slow, but not awful. Decor is a bit dated. There's usually a good rotating selection of a mix of 6 or so craft and mainstream beers on tap, and I can always find at least one I like. Wines too. Plus a decently stocked full bar. The crowd is typically a bit older, maybe 30s-40s usually, and while they can get busy, it's never so loud that you have to shout to have a conversation with your table mates. There are some TVs, but thankfully it's not the kind of place where people typically go to watch a game and shout at the TV. Generally there's a good mix of classic rock on the sound system, loud enough to enjoy but not the main focus. A good mix for the age group that's usually there, myself included. There is a nice little shaded outdoor patio area to enjoy when the weather permits. The food is decent and pretty reasonably priced. I've had many of their specialty pizzas and sandwiches and all have been good. The Mediterranean and "Ultimate Pepperoni" pizzas are especially good. And half-off pizza until 6PM can't be beat on weekdays. If they're busy, be prepared to wait a bit for your food. They do a lot of takeout business as well. The bar and wait staff are always friendly in my experience. All in all, just a friendly, low-key place to unwind and get a good drink or two and a meal. Kind of a hidden gem in the neighborhood there.

The atmosphere was dainty, casual, and intimate all at once. It gave me cozy date-night vibes without feeling too dressed up. The concept reminded me of a more laid-back version of a trendy local pizza spot, but with its own charm. Let's talk about the crust because WOW. Their hand-tossed pizza had that pillowy soft texture that just melts in your mouth--the kind that makes you pause mid-bite like, "okay wait... this is GOOD." Truly a whole sensory experience. We ordered the classic cheesy bread (which was deliciously gooey and perfectly golden) and the Hawaiian pizza with a BBQ base--such a fun twist! Sweet, smoky, savory... it just worked. Also, I had a humbling moment when I realized not all cheesy breads automatically come with marinara sauce rookie mistake, apparently. The customer service was warm and welcoming from start to finish. Nothing over-the-top, just genuinely pleasant and attentive--which honestly makes such a difference. Overall, such a cute, cozy spot with great food and even better vibes. Definitely earned a spot on my favorites list, now, too.
