And to have you come out of the kitchen say hi and introduce us to your wine from Italy. We felt very appreciated. And of course your attention to details and incredible combination of flavors are second to none.God Bless you my friend and continue to making people happy by your unique talents!

Amazing place. Food is 5 star and atmosphere is very charming. I had the pleasure of dining here on a Wednesday evening. On this particular evening I happened to be dining alone, so I set at the bar. Had a great cocktail and asked for the special. ? cooked and also was created by the chef. Music playing in the background as we chatted. I highly recommend Casa San Carlo as one of the best restaurants in Morehead.

Buyer beware! Lots of hidden costs! Split plate fee. Online it says six dollars they charged eight and you were not informed of this by your server. Extra bread cost extra as well. Mozzarella was cold bread was not easy to pull apart nor cut. Chicken Parm was burned, served with shell pasta, which had not been properly drained, therefore making the tomato sauce runny. Way too pricey for the lack of service and the food.

This place was absolutely amazing. The atmosphere was wonderful. From the music, to the mafia-inspired wall decor, I was very impressed. The server was very friendly and gave us excellent recommendations, and the food was perfect. Literally the best Italian good I've ever tasted. I couldn't recommend this place enough.
The best Italian restaurant in Morehead, in my personal opinion. Love the owners and the staff. We have never had a bad dish or bad experience.

My husband and I and some friends had dinner on Valentine’s Day there. The food was not good and the service was worse. We were there 45 minutes before we got our drinks, and only three of us got our drinks. We had to remind the waitress several times to bring our friend her drink. We were there a whopping 2 1/2 hours just for dinner. None of us were happy with the food or the service.

Valentines Day, we had a reservation for 5:30, we were seated right away. We were then greeted and told she would return. The server came back 30 mins later, that is no exaggeration. She then said she would get us some water, 25 mins later she comes back with water & we were ready to order. We asked what the specials for the night were & she told us, but we could hardly understand what she was saying. She seemed very frazzled. The restaurant didn't seem that busy. We were being very patient because it was Valentines and wanted to have a great dinner. We ordered calamari for appetizer, which when it came out before our drinks we ordered was a bit of a surprise we still didn't have our drinks. We were told there was no bartender and the server had to make the drinks. Thank goodness I asked another server if she could make me a cosmopolitan instead of my original drink, which was delicious. Our server then came and I told her the other waitress made the drink & could she make the same for my mother. She said she would ask the other server to make it & finally we got the other drinks.The calamari was delicious. We ordered the Salmon special with pasta, Shrimp & Scallop special, chicken parmesan, and tortelinni panna.As for the main dish, not worth a penny I paid for it. The shrimp and scallops had such a strong smell when it came out, I couldn't eat it. It was horrible, the pasta was ok. Three of our meals came with salads, for some reason we were charged $8 for one of the salads. The Salmon special came with pasta, and both were cold. We don't normally send food back, but it was so cold. They just put it in the microwave, instead of making a new dish. I just couldn't believe it wasn't re-made. The food was not good & I was so surprised because I was told this restaurant was good.The service was below par. We wanted to have a great night so we didn't complain. I got the bill and to my surprise I paid $60 for shrimp and scallops that tasted like they were a month old. I don't mind paying if it was fresh and I was able to eat it. The salmon and pasta were so cold, it was sent back to the kitchen, I wished I had taken a picture of how it was brought back. Nothing was fresh.I was happy to leave & go eat the sub I had leftover from lunch. We still tipped the server $40 thinking maybe she was just having a bad night as we sometimes do, so we were giving her the benefit of the doubt. The food was not good and definitely shouldn't have been charged $60 a meal. We will not go back. Total disappointment.UPDATE: After returning home. I get a phone call from the owner at 9:15 PM. He was clearly upset I wrote this review. He told me he was upset and put all of the blame on the server. He asked me several times to take it down. I guess when you make a reservation, this gives them you phone number to call when you write a review. Trust me it wasn't the server, that could have been looked past if the food was good. But the food was the biggest disappointment. It was not fresh. He asked if we would come back tonight so he could make it up. Im sorry but I don't want bad seafood again. He shouldn't have just refunded us for the bad dishes he served.We live in Morehead City, there is no reason any establishment in this town should serve old seafood. It should be fresh!!!

Food was really good. Service was kinda iffy, but it was also really busy (Valentine's Day) so that might have contributed. But overall, really good food. Bread before the meal is slammin with the oil and vin
Wonderful food, beautiful wine list, great service!

The visit started well with immediate seating and attention from the server. The experience ended with the likelihood of never returning to the restaurant. For two people who shared an entree the bill came to over $100 dollars (without drinks). The food was palatable but overcooked and the service gradually declined until we were forced to ask for our check. We have dined here in the past and enjoyed our evening. Sadly, the same cannot be said at this time.
