Good Italian classics in a nice, new premise. Some things can use improvement: Volcano shrimp was tasty although the ratio of 7 shrimp to an extremely large bed of mashed potatoes was disappointing. The chicken parm dish comes with a side of penne vodka which I thought was nice although it was very light in color and tasted different than penne vodka dish also ordered. Finally there was a ring around the toilet bowl in the ladies room, making me ponder the cleanliness of the establishment as a whole? Also this is a BYOB!

Once again the personal mushroom pizza was dry, had no taste and was cold. The garlic knots had no garlic or oils. The salad was brown edged (old).I loved this place and will never go back. One time is an error. Twice is disrespect of the customer. Cold is poor food preparation and coordination. All inexcusable.

Not sure how this restaurant is getting good reviews. This was one of the worst meals we've had recently. The restaurant is divided into (3) sections. Cafe (pizzeria), Family Room and Main Dining Room, which is a bit quirky. If you enter the cafe, you have to go down a long hallway with several turns to get to the dining room.Cons:1. Server could barely understand us and we could barely understand her. She was nice but out of her league. Forgot our salad, delivered food out of order, delivered someone else's pizza to our table.2. Food was sub-par. French onion soup was hot but the bread/cheese on top was cold and hardened. Not sure how that happened. Mussels were served in a white cream sauce which was odd and off-putting to combine cream with seafood. Risotto was very pasty and bland. The franchese sauce on the chicken was thick and floury.Pros:1. My husband's pizza was good.2. Location is great for a local restaurant.3. Atmosphere was nice.4. Large portions.This could be a nice local restaurant to frequent but unfortunately, it totally missed the mark. Will not go again.

This place is on point!!!! The food is delicious and the portions sizes is perfect! The bread came with flavorful olive oil, I wanted it to be my meal for the night . My sausage pizza was perfectly spiced and the was plenty of meat and grilled onions on top. The sausage pizza is a must have at this restaurant! Blooming onion was okay, but next time we'll get the onion rings. The breading wasn't as crispy as I expected. The service was perfect and friendly Owner and staff! The place is a lot bigger than it looks. It has a private dining area for parties and plenty of seating. This place is BYOB, so my wife and I brought our own wine. The tiramisu was delicious , you have to get it!

Family outing with 16 adults. We ate family style. We had the side room. There is plenty of space to move around and talk. The service was great. The food was delicious. The meatball appitizers were a big hit. The desserts were perfect. All who attended were very impressed. BYOB.
First time for dinner and it was amazing. Great service and the owner came around to check on our meal. My wife had the vegetable lasagna, my son had the margarita pizza and I had the Joey Steak special, which was grilled to perfection and melted in my mouth. Desert was the final ending to a perfect meal with my family. A definite return night out in the near future.

Carlucci's Bistro has earned its way into my top rotation. We recently discovered this gem and have been back several times. You like pizza? Go now! The Fungi pizza is other worldly, provided you like mushrooms. Don't like shrooms? Any other pizza will make you happy. The eggplant rollatini - magic. Antipasto salad is solid. Great food, great people, great atmosphere. If you enjoy great food, great humans, and a great BYOB, then high-tail it to Carlucci's. Go now.
Great service and good food. A great place to BYO and enjoy a night out. Pam is awesome!

Excellent! This was my first time visiting Carlucci’s and it exceeded my expectations. My mom spoke highly of how friendly the owner was and how good the food is so we went today and I’m glad we did. Let’s start off that there are two areas for Carlucci’s, one room area for takeout and one for BYOB dining. The dining area is nicely designed and right away my wife and I thought this is a perfect location to host a dinner party. The waitress was very nice and attentive. The owner was as friendly as my mom said he would be. We also learned after our meal that almost his entire staff did not show up when we were there. Meaning he managed. cooked, and bussed the place and with all that served an excellent dinner! The bread is homemade with dipping oil and we ordered chicken francaise, chicken Parmesan, a salmon special and personal pizza. Everything was perfectly cooked, and delicious. I’ve visited many local Italian restaurants in the area and I’m glad to say this has now joined my favorites. We will certainly be back soon and look forward to hosting a party there in the future. Terrific job and well deserved!

The service is the only reason to come to this restaurant, nice pleasant staff. The food however is very underwhelming. Olive Garden is better quality than this, pasta tastes like the microwave calamari was like rubber bands. Stay away find another place to eat many better options in the area.

Went on my in-laws recommendation and we were not disappointed. The owner was very active in helping out the wait staff and the food was delicious. The place was clean, the tables were very roomy and everyone was very friendly. Please check this place out!
