Small and loud place – just like in Bella Italia. As a European always hard to find authentic tasting European cuisines in the US. This place did not disappoint. Felt more like a neighborhood place than the more touristy ones in the North End.

It’s a cozy little place, but we loved every bite of all the dishes we ordered. Bruschetta was simple but filled with olive oil. Gnocchi spezzatino was so creamy and melting in the mouth. Seafood Fra Diavolo had an abundance of calamari, museles, shrimp, and clams, and it tested like heaven. Everything was creamy, delicious, and unforgettable!

I absolutely love this place!! The appetizers and entrees are always generous on portions. The prices are great and the flavors are wonderful!! This is one of my favorite places to go when we are in Boston. This time service was meh and the bread was stale (sat outside of the warmer to long maybe) but it’s all over looked because the food it that good!

My favorite Italian restaurant in the Boston area, and it’s not even in the North End! You will find very comforting dishes with generous portions, though it is hard to not finish them, they taste that good. Service is great too.

The Food! Fresh, homemade Italian! This small jewel is a place to go. Nice size portions, the flavors are unique, and the meats cooked to perfection. The tortellini melted in your mouth. The eggplant appetizer was a great start. The service was light and casual but outstanding. Highly recommend!

The staff is 5 stars. The property is old. The Food is realistically a 3 for Italian. I’m worried that this restaurant will be swolloded by Asian cuisine.

I discovered Carlo’s about 10-years ago and have been coming here regularly ever since. Whenever someone is visiting from out of town and wants great Italian food, we skip the busy and overpriced North End and come straight here. The Seafood Fra Diavolo and Caprese Salad are my go-to’s. I’ve had a handful of other items over the years and have not been disappointed! I came for my birthday once and they gave us free cannoli’s. It’s not cheap but I think that the prices are reasonable and the portion sizes are generous. I’ll be back for sure!
