Carelli's is a go-to for us when we want Italian food that competes with what we can make at home. I'm a former-chef so I tend to have high standards for dishes, plate presentations, and service.

It's reasonably priced for dishes which would typically be quite time consuming and the prices are on-point for the quality.

I requested if it would be possible to substitute the veal in the scallopini for chicken parmesean, although I know from a previous experience the veal is very good.

The chef agreed and it came out even better. They serve dishes to be served hot, very hot and they are very cool, nice people.

Our server was Owen who we learned had only been on the floor 1 night before. He was amazing. Not only did he offer us some very nice dessert options but he went to the effort of brining out a very nice display which was impressive.

We like the family orientated vibe and the way the staff balance speed of service against the need for quality, along with time to relax a little during a good meal.

The wine selection is very good and the recommendations we receive are reasonably priced but high quality and after, we typically stick with them even at home, which says alot about the credibility of their recommendations.

The servings are typically too-much to eat all at once so left-overs are always in the mix, in keeping with the Italian tradition of making sure no one leaves feeling hungry.

The garlic bread is stellar for those guests for whom carbs are being excepted given their exceptional recipes.

You will have a great meal and a great dining experience at Carelli's. If you have room for dessert, they have incredible options even for those like myself who typically skip it.

The appetizers are always worth it.

Highly recommend Carelli's.
