Cacio — Restaurant in Carlsbad

I tried the Carbonara!! Amazing! Huge thanks to the very talented Olivia who cooked this mouthwatering culinary dish and one of the most deliciously homemade Italian dishes I have ever tasted while eating out. I asked to meet her and spoke to her briefly to thank her in person after I was barely able to finish the entire meal. Good, honest, hearty Italian portion for a very good price! Honestly, I felt like my great grandmother was still alive and feeding me one of my favorites. Conveniently located right off the 5 Fwy within the iconic "Windmill Food Hall" along with many other restaurants. I refuse to call it a food court because it's so much more comfortable, open, and family-friendly. A perfect stop for tourists and locals craving a hearty meal made with love & care. Thank you, Cacio! I give it 5 Yummys!...

My wife had the Spaghetti Carbonara, it was better but not a good bite. The kids split a spaghetti and meatballs. I don't have the words to describe it, but I will say they did eat the...
