What people say, in short
Calo in Andersonville is repeatedly recommended for old-school Italian food. One diner is impressed by the quality and value of a large thin-crust pizza, and another says a pasta order lasted several meals. A separate commenter recommends the ribs. There is a mixed view too: one diner finds the food mediocre and underseasoned but still enjoys the restaurant as a place to eat, drink and spend time with others.
