Most Disliked

While the majority of experiences at Carlo's are positive, some guests have noted that wait times can increase during peak hours, particularly on busy weekends. A few diners expressed disappointment with specific dish preparations, such as the T-bone steak, which did not meet expectations. Others pointed out the need for some menu items to offer more robust flavors. Additionally, the sometimes hectic atmosphere during dinner service may not appeal to those seeking a quiet meal. Balancing popular dishes with consistent delivery can be challenging at high capacity.

My first visit was about T-bone steak, unfortunately wasnt that good, sadly, left of half of meal undone. Second time was much better with Mafioza pizza, which was awesome. Today was third and best time I visited that place. Tuesday perfect timing when not much peoples. This fillet steak is probably the best you could get around the place. Juicy as it should, medium well been cooked as it should. Interior is superb, while you'll wait for your meal you'll feel that italian vibe as you seen from picture I added. Guy which was served me confirmed he is from Italy, where reflects on his accent! Back again for it! Best compliments for chief which made this awesome steak! Bon apetit!

Big portions with great flavour that everyone enjoyed. We were a party of 40, service and kitchen couldn’t be faulted. Amazingly all the food came out together with no complaints.
