Overall, a great but disappointing experience.

Starting with the pros;
The customer service was excellent. I had heard great things about this and they lived up to expectations.

The atmosphere was pleasant and very welcoming.

The drink range was great and reasonably priced.

MOST of the food was excellent quality, however, this leads to my one major con.

The steak I ordered. I opted for the 19oz T-Bone as it was the days special at just under £30. All the accompaniments were great, onion rings were crisp as were the fries, the gorgonzola sauce was delicious but the steak.
I asked for Medium Rare as is my preference, and it was medium rare but it was not well cooked. The meat was still quite chewy, definitely not tender and generally underwhelming.

I'll rule it as probably a bad steak or bad timing, and even with that disappointment, I will return there in the future as everything else was Top-notch.

We went for a meal on Saturday and found the service from the majority of the young staff to be terrible. Sullen faces, walking away whilst being asked for drinks and ignoring us. One of our party had to go and look for the young lady who initially served us, who was lovely.
I also discovered a massive change to the menu, very disappointed in the vegetarian options available for the main meal. The only options I had was a pizza or ricotta and spinach pancake (most of which was spinach). I usually get a pasta sauce dish with tagliatelle, or cannelloni, however, any dishes I had a choice of before had all had some form of meat added. Not impressed and I doubt we will be dining out at Carlo’s anytime soon. Very disappointing.

We went in the week so it was quiet but it was very lovely. The food was amazing and the staff were great. I would 100% recommend x

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!

Well the pizzas were pretty good, but the Carbonara my other half had was a little flat, then again it's never a very interesting dish.
The restaurant it's self was very atmospheric, resembling an the set of a 60s cowboy movie.
The staff though we're exemplary and the service cannot be faulted would definitely go again

Looks warm and comfortable on the outside,even inviting. Inside, it's garish and bare. Most of the staff were helpful and friendly.
The menu is as basic as Italian food can be so it feels overpriced.
Cold red wine, undercooked starter and an overcooked starter, both the same dish, wasn't a relaxing start to our evening.
I left feeling underwhelmed!
