“ Best Italian food ever. Service with a smile. Enjoyed the placemats with the Italian heritage. Don't forget the desserts.. black being at an Italian family Sunday dinner. ”
“ Best Italian place I’ve ever been to hands down. The inside is beautiful. Carlo, the owner was really friendly, he came over and introduced himself. People need to take notes from this man on how to run an Italian restaurant. I think his wife might’ve been our waitress. She was delightful and had a real mob wife vibe that made the experience feel even more authentic! And of course the food was delicious! Will be returning soon! ”
“ Our first experience was awesome. Great, friendly service. Fast seating. Waitress was handing the bar and the booths and was very attentive and friendly. The meals were huge, with plenty left over and we split a tiramisu which was to die for. No issue with cash vs cc. We were very pleased with the entire experience and will definitely be back to try other entrees. ”
“ Food was amazing!!! The staff is super friendly and attentive. Everything is house made, except for the desserts where they get from Modern Bakery in the North End in Boston. We will be back for sure!! ”

“ Dined at Carluccio’s for the first time last night. I can’t say enough about the customer service, ambiance, and especially the food. We had to wait for the last couple in our party of six and the owner introduced himself and showed such pride in that his family helped to provide our dining experience. He then brought some of his homemade meatballs to tide us over. As soon as I tasted those delicious meatballs, I knew our meal was going to be just as good. I had the seafood a diavolio which was incredible! My wife, who is a veal parmigiana connoisseur said it was the best she’s ever had. All of their pasta is homemade and their desserts come straight from the North End’s Modern Pastry. Our server Devin, couldn’t do enough to ensure we had a perfect meal and a perfect evening. Five stars is not enough for this review. We’ll definitely be returning to this fine dining establishment! ”
“ First experience and was very pleased with the service. Tried the Chicken Piccata, I loved it. We will be back to try other dishes. Understand the desserts come from the North End in Boston. ”
“ Love this place! Cozy and friendly. Been there like 5 times since I moved here. So the owner is super nice and regular bartender is also. . But the service an d atmosphere was very off. Seemed like waitress was chatting with people at the bar. Thought she was the bartender but she wasn't. Sat there while she chatted away while we just sat. Then we were told oh bartender will be here soon But not that I mind but made me feel like I shouldn't be there. Also had 2 glasses of wine a d so did my husband Looked at the bill and found out we paid almost 50 dollars just for the wine. No water offered either. The owner wasn't I that evening. Love the place but realized ca t afford to go at those prices prices. Food ordered was simple food. Total bill with tip over 100 dollars. ”
