caramba restaurant

the service was amazing. we were served by one of their most thougthful and attentive waiter. the servings are big except for the calamari that i think was just few bites. the calamari was cooked and seasoned perfectly. the dipping is fantastic but cost a lot if you asked for another serving of dipping. the pasta was too oily for my liking and is kinda bland, but the shrimp on it was so fresh. the eggs benedict is perfectly cooked but the hollandaise sauce for me was a failure. over all the experience wasgoodbut could be better.

nice atmosphere, decent price range, tasty pizza. they were extremely accommodating to one of our group who’s gluten and dairy free and the server was able to come up withgoodoptions for her.

we came with a group of four adults and four kids.  they have a kids menu, but we chose to share dishes.   we had a number of things to try including salmon fettucine (very tasty), duck confit salad (average - duck wasn't crispy as it should be), short ribs (good - though very small portion), spaghetti and meatballs (enjoy the pasta at pasta lupino much more and the meatballs which they seem to play up were just ok), grilled salmon entree (also good) and a caesar salad (not much to say about this salad).  the food ranged from slightly below average to very good.

service was even and prompt.  our reservation on a busy saturday night (july 4) was honored right on time.  drink orders were taken immediately, kids' orders came early as we requested and the rest of the food came reasonably quickly. 

to be fair, we didn't try the pizza which others have reviewed well.  not sure if we'll be back, but if so, we will try the pizza.

overall, caramba wasgoodand they do have a lot of choices on the menu for larger groups.  however, for the money (or even slightly more), i'd go to many other places first as they do a better job with the food.  nothing against caramba -- for dinner with our kids, we just prefer some other mid-range places in the area more (like wild wood bistro, stonesedge kitchen, pasta lupino, and elements).

the woodfire pizza is ridiculouslygoodhere! we had the share rotisserie plate and the meat was cooked to perfection. the service was great, we got a table without a booking, we will definitely be back!

great food and great service. we've eaten here twice in the last week and 5 times over our 3 trips to whistler. food and service have always been excellent. we've had the tuna, pizzas, pastas, shared platter for 2 along with most of the appetizers and desserts. the food has always been well prepared andgoodvalue for the price. their calamari is simply superb. will definitely be back the next time we are in whistler.

it was ok. went here with a group of 6. service was great our waitress was very accommodating and patient.. as we also had 2 babies with us.
the food was pretty good, more leaning towards "ok". my husband and i shared some kind of a goat cheese appetizer, but it came out and it was not goat cheese. it was brie. that was a disappointment because we love goat cheese. we did not say anything because we were just to hungry and couldn't be bothered. it was still tasty. the pizza we shared was a little too thin, it did lack substance, but tasted good. we also shared the seared yellowfin? tuna. it was agoodsize steak but bland. came with vegetables and plain rice. bland. i'm not sure if we would return - maybe if everywhere else around was too busy, we would go again.

too expensive for the small dishes. food wasgoodbut very small portions. inside very loud.

pizza, pasta and caesar salad where all excellent, everything arrived fast and hot.goodservice and value. we will return.
