Carlucci's Italian Grill

Haven't been there in a while. The cauliflower appetizer? Amazing. The chicken parm? At best average - it tasted like it was reheated in a microwave. Won't be returning to Carlucci's. Very disappointed.

Now that's Italian 🤌

It's been a hot minute since I’ve had Italian food this good. From the second we sat down, they just kept bringing bread. Like, nonstop. Finished a basket? Here comes another. Finished that one? They hit me with a whole loaf of garlic bread and said, “Do you like?” and I said, “Yes. Yes, I like.”

I got the penne in a blush sauce (not vodka, but close enough) with a side of meatballs. The meatballs were decent, but the pasta? Unreal. Creamy, cheesy, rich—just perfect. Heavy enough that you know you’re eating real Italian, but not so heavy that you regret your life choices. Bring Lactaid if you need it, though. They’re not shy with the cheese.

Lauren got the veal marsala (gluten-free), and while she thought it was a little mild, she still liked it and wants to go back to try something else.

The place itself is super comfortable—classic Italian vibes, warm lighting, nice crowd. Mostly couples and families, not too loud, not too quiet. Service was spot on. Friendly, fast, and they actually pay attention.

Oh, and they gave me a garlic bread loaf on the house that was borderline addictive. Crispy on the outside, soft inside, dripping with garlicky butter.

BYOB, so bring a bottle and make a night of it.

Bottom line: amazing food, excellent service, cozy atmosphere. I left stuffed, happy, and already planning my next visit.

Great dining experience! Food is excellent, and the puffed bread with garlic served with soup and salad is delicious. The service is exceptional and outstanding. Staff is attentive and friendly. Highly recommend this Italian restaurant which has a nice ambiance. Thanks to David and Wilson for accommodating our party of friends.

Been here a few times over the years, but tonight’s service was out of this world! Arnoldo was excellent and saw to our every need, and the food was delicious. Carlucci’s has definitely distinguished itself as a staple of the community!

We visited the restaurant on Mother's Day, taking advantage of their available outdoor seating on a pleasant weather day. Unfortunately, the servers seemed disorganized and were running around without clear purpose. Consequently, we had to call someone over to start our order. Our assigned server appeared tired and drowsy, displaying no enthusiasm for his work. In fact, he openly expressed being overworked and exhausted. Despite this, he took our order but frequently forgot items, requiring us to remind him. Although he apologized for the oversights, his overall service was clumsy and lacking. On the positive side, the food was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed every bite, from the flavorful salmon and crab cakes to the delightful puffy bread and even the initial bread they served us. The pizza was particularly delicious. However, we were surprised to find an additional charge of $3 per dish for not ordering from the Mother's Day menu. The desserts were also delectable. While we appreciated the quality of the food, it would have been a truly wonderful experience had the service been up to par.
