This place has improved dramatically over the past few years to become a real go-to for locals.
It's friendly, food is good, portions are tremendous, prices are very fair, drink pours are large and the specials that Carlo runs are unbelievable.
We had the Wednesday Date Night special. Unrestricted menu.
1 appetizer. 2- Small salads, 2 entrees, 2 mini -desserts and 2 glasses of wine for $55. Unbelievable.
Highly recommend

I ordered delivery. Fried calamari was the worst I ever had. Tasteless and fried to a crisp. Also ordered sm canzone with sausage. Onion.pepper and salami. It was burnt. And looked like a deflated football. NO toppings inside. It was disgraceful coming from an " Italian " restaurant.

Wow!! We experienced the best Italian dinner!!! Folks, this is the place to go on the Cape! The food, the wine, the desert!!!! The owner, Carlo, came to out table and visited. Such a personal touch to the whole meal experience! If I could give 10 stars I would!! Definitely coming back!!! Look at these deserts! Chocolate mousse and my favorite....Tiramisu. Soooo delicious!!!

Another great meal at Carluccio's. Our server, Devon took great care of us tonight. The young waitstaff was all super friendly and they were all hustling, it was jamming! As usual, Carlo took time out of his busy night to check in and say hello. I love the eggplant parmesan here, it’s the best I’ve had. My husband had the chicken parm and our kiddo had spaghetti and meatballs. Everyone was happy. The place is really decked out for Christmas and it looks absolutely gorgeous!! Great job to Carlo’s wife, he said she did the decorating. We will be back, as usual!!!

I've only had dinner there 3 times and all three times were in September, three different meals and all three were Great. My daughter insisted we go there for my birthday. She knows my love for seafood and any beef. She also know I don't care for chicken unless it's chicken fried on a Friday night. (If you know, you know). Next time I go I'm getting chicken, if they can WOW me with chicken I'll give them a 100 star review.

Had a wonderful meal and really enjoyed the story on the placemat. It hit home. The big family get togethers with all the homemade pasta and baked goods are a fond memory now reduced to Gnocchi at Christmas and Easter with homemade pizzelle. Being half Italian I think I do ok at the pasta but nothing like Nonnie.

Came here because of all the rave reviews.
Out waiter didn’t know the menu
He never asks us if we wanted refills on our drinks or checked to see if the food was good.
I got the special which came with a side salad and a starch and he never came out with a salad and then when I brought it up he stated it my meal is starch or salad and I show him the description and it says side salad and choice of starch. So he brought it out after my meal was out and everyone else had salads.
Will not come back again.

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!

I've ordered from them before and it's very hit or miss. I ordered the Pesto alla Genovese and it came with plain linguine and butter sauce. It didn't come with any pesto or potatoes, unlike what the menu said. Just pasta, garlic, and butter. I was very disappointed as I have had it from them before and it was good. I wish this was the first time this happened, but it wasn't. Waste of money.

Another stellar dinner for
The bride and I.

I had the veal Marsala which was spectacular and a blue moon beer and my wife again had the salmon with the champagne orange sauce that is to die for and a limoncello martini. Killer warm bread and butter to sop up the amazing sauces with!! And then best part is that the owner Carlo makes a habit of coming out of the kitchen and saying hi. Great spot. Go! You won’t be disappointed!!
