    Would have given them a 5 star review but the noise level was too much. Had to ask people to repeat themselves too many times.

    Great dinner with friends! Our waiter was engaging, attentive and helpful. We are not fond of sitting in tables near the door as it is very disruptive and can be cold. Otherwise ambience is good

    Another wonderful evening at Cafe Carlo. We enjoyed delicious Calamari, fresh bread, Seafood Penne and Pickerel. Everything was delicious and timed to the table perfectly. Our server was outstanding and the ambience, lively, but comfortable.

    The art work needs to be changed out. It just doesn’t “fit”.
