It all started back in 2004 when Ross and Linda Downing built “The Freezer and The Oven”. This local favorite had some of the best ice cream and pizza in Caro, Michigan. The Downing's then saw an opportunity to move their business a couple blocks down to the old Capri Restaurant Building. Ross and Linda were not strangers to this building. They had both worked there in the past, Ross as a cook and Linda as a waitress. Once they moved into the old Capri Restaurant they made the decision to simply make the name of the restaurant The Oven. From that point on, they have been making The Oven what it is today: An American-Italian family friendly restaurant with a lounge. The Oven is located just outside of downtown Caro, Michigan. The Oven pride’s themselves in their family-friendly atmosphere and great service, but don’t take our word for it. Come and see for yourself!
