This was my 1st time visiting, My Boyfriend had a Filet I had the Salmon both were delicious, I also had their French Martini's very good as well, atmosphere very nice, good vibes throughout, very pleasant.
The restaurant itself is very outdated and old.. The food and service was very good. However, we really did not enjoy ourselves because we extremely dissatisfied with the ambiance. A complete renovation is desperately needed.
Delicious food. Beautiful outdoor setting. Would recommend and look forward to going back.
Carlucci's was a very nice dining experience. Very nice atmosphere and great views of the river. Food was delicious overall; excellent soups to start off with. Clams casino were fabulous with diced vegies and touch of marinara. Pasta with seafood and stuffed shrimp amalfi (with salmon on top) were great as well. Service got off to a rough start as the server, who was only very recently hired, gave us the wrong bottle of wine (we wanted white but he gave us a red stating that they didn't have that bottle. We believe he asked for help from the bar staff as within a few minutes came back with the bottle we requested; so problem resolved. Aside from that this is a great place to go, however I doubt we'll return because of the prices. Most entrees we've had before are now $40 to $50 which is way overpriced. Appetizers have nearly doubled in price as well. So word to the wise, if you go better have deep pockets to spend.
All of our food was totally excellent! I had the lamb chops, which are hard to find at any restaurant. These were excellent! The service was impeccable. My fellow diners were also extremely satisfied. One had the prime rib (which, I of course sampled). It was done to perfection; tender, tasty, and delicious. The other entree was the crab cake (which, again, I also sampled). Again, perfection! Tasty, perfectly done and full of crab meat. The wine list also offered an excellent selection of a wide variety of wines. I chose a moderately priced sangiovese, again, an excellent choice! The only minor shortcoming was the dessert. My fellow diners are absolute chocolate aficionados. We ordered 2 servings of the chocolate layer cake to share among the 3 of us. I was totally satisfied, but my fellow diners thought it was somewhat dry. Overall, this was one of the best dining experiences we've had in the last 3 years. I would highly recommend Carlucci's and will most definitely return. Bravo!
My sisters and I, wanted a place where it was intimate, we wanted to celebrate our 69th birthday, making her feel it was about her. We talked, laughed and enjoyed our lunch. Food was delicious, server was absolutely amazing, ambiance was exactly what we were looking for.
We did not order any appetizers and only had one bottle of wine for a party of five and was over $400 with tip. Service was mediocre. Just not worth the money or value that we get charged. No table cloth or any good dining setting even outdoors.
The food was not great. We could have gone to any other Italian restaurant and we would have had a better meal and much less expensive.
Our first time there and the experience was wonderful!
I've eaten here many times and the menu and the service is always very good.
