Another fabulous meal at Carlos's, this time for lunch. Because of the holiday, we had access to the dinner menu plus a special menu, a win all around. Loved the house Cabernet (and yes, it was a full pour). I ordered the chicken francese, light and lemony, with three cutlets and a side of potato croquettes that were absolutely delicious. My husband ordered the tortellini carbonara with pancetta, onion, peas, cream, and Pecorino Romano. Another excellent pasta dish, and plenty left over. Somehow, my husband and I still found room to split the chocolate layer cake. I ordered a cappuccino and fair warning, they only have one size and it's very big.. Carlos's never disappoints read more

Ate here with hubby today. I had a salad with the flatbed pizza which has broccoli rabe, sausage and mozzarella cheese. I also had fried meatballs with cherry hot peppers, garlic, and onions. The salad and flatbread pizza were great but the sliced fried meatballs were horrendous. They were too salty and just not good. I've eaten their meatballs in sauce before and that is way better than the sliced, fried meatballs. Hubby ordered clams and chicken parmigiana. He loved the clams but felt the chicken parmigiana was fried too hard for him to eat. The staff is nice and the service is quick but I just was turned off by the meatballs. I'm going to give this place a break for awhile. read more

Due to the prices (pretty high), I expected the food would be exceptional, but it was on par with any local Italian restaurant. I was disappointed to see how the restaurant nickel and dimes customers for everything: $5 added for anyone ordering an appetizer or soup as a main course; $10 added to the already high prices if you share an entree; $4 per person charge to cut a cake that you bring to the restaurant for an occasion. Finally, the 3.99% credit card service charge on the whole amount of the check when half + tip is paid in cash. The service was excellent, but sadly the rest of the experience was not enough for us to return. read more

The food here is awesome. I been coming to Carlo's restaurant since I was in high school way way back and moved to scarsdale about 15th ago and still love the food. They'll always have great food. And the pizza rocks and everyone that works there is great. Super nice and always accommodating. read more

Outstanding food! Authentic Italian since 1958. Today, my niece, the Italian Queen Laura and nephew-in-law, Artie the Wrench, catered much food from Carlo's. For my sister, BIL, and my nephew/ godson Joey. Chicken scarp, chicken parm, penne alla vodka, mixed salad, great Italian bread, fresh grated parmesan cheese. Everything perfect. Cutlets very thin, scarp w red peppers (no potatoes). Mangia mangia!! 5 yummy stars read more

Good pizza. I went to the lower level where they served pizza and grabbed a few slices. I was in Chicago a little while ago and had deep dish- NY style pizza is just more my thing. Much easier to eat and I can enjoy it more. They have tv's and a cool hangout spot under the restaurant but still had the menu for order. read more

I continue to return and continue to have an amazing experience. I even ordered takeout and the food is just as fresh. Even when I don't make a reservation, I am accommodated. They are kid friendly, the staff are detailed orientated, and make you feel like "family". I will continue to support this business whenever I'm craving Italian food. read more

Another great night at Carlos. The pork chops are slamming !! Best chicken Francese anywhere , great cannoli and cappuccino! We didnt get our favorite waiter but we made the best of it ! read more

This review is for lunch, not dinner. I never had a negative experience for dinner. It might be busy then, but it never deterred me nor was the service poor or strange. I do not write negative reviews, but this last experience was the proverbial straw. The food is absolutely delicious. I usually get chicken parm or francese. It's delicious anytime, in restaurant or delivery. Great retro music inside, rat pack. No one beats the chairman of the board. Old school is lovely and rare these days. The issue is service at Lunch. I hesitated coming because of previous issues, but I really wanted Carlo's. This is the third time I received odd, off putting service or less food than others who also ordered the lunch portion. Lunch portion is two cutlets. Dinner is three, usually one larger and two slightly smaller. I received one cutlet. In addition, this is the second time my plates or bowls were removed before I was finished. When I come for lunch, I dine alone. I tip well and in cash. Another time, everyone else was offered a free coffee or dessert but I was not. This time, in addition to less food and plates taken, other parties came in after me, ordered, ate, given check, and left before me. I waited for the check, had to ask a few times. The busboy was a better waiter. Promote him. I like to come but I won't if this is what happens. Maybe they don't like solo patrons. They were not busy; many empty tables. It's not like I was taking up a two top with people waiting at the door. I've been coming here for 40 years. A baffling shame. read more

Cannot get a bad meal here. Not possible ! .... Crazy good ! Best Italian around Been there since I'm 7 years old. Now 69 !!! read more

This little tucked away restaurant Yonkers is the perfect Italian red sauce joint! It will leave you overfed with great apps, entrees and desserts while being served by a really kind team of servers. The space is small (but has upstairs seating for overflow) - it's slightly cramped with tables but it doesn't matter. Your neighbors are busy eating/not listening to your table. There are so many good options for salads, pastas and entrees and don't forget to look over the daily specials. Tonight my husband and I shared the spiedini alla Romano (essentially fried parm-crusted bread with gooey mozz in the center served with an anchovy-caper sauce), an arugula salad ( that was huge! And full of candied walnuts, Gorgonzola and cranberries) and a shrimp far diavolo. It was exceptional- and when we come here we wonder why we don't come here more often. read more

I've been going to Carlo's with my family since I was about 12! Recently the dining room was updated nicely. The food has always been amazing and reasonably priced. I frequently order and pickup and when we have time, we stop in. We did that last night. The place was packed, the food was delicious, and the service on point! Charles is an amazing asset to the staff. I have been taking my boys here for the last 16 years. I have been coming here for 40+ years. We love it! read more

Not even sure how to start this as my friends raved about Carlo's and this will not be a good review. It was my dad in law's bday and we ordered catering for 20 people. The chicken scarpariello and chicken parm was fairly good. the mussels were ok. Potato croquettes were very good. The pepper steak was bland. the meatballs were dry and grainy. The chicken francese was the worst! the chicken was cut and cooked in big pieces, and some were raw under the batter. YUCK! If my nephew did not see it, we may all be in the ER. OMG. I don't know what happened to the catering services of Carlo's that day but my goodness. This was an ugly surprise for us. Maybe if it is a single, small order it will be fine but not for catering. WE WILL NEVER ORDER HERE AGAIN. Beware. read more

Food is good, service can be hit or miss depending on the day and how busy it is, I like eating upstairs rather than the first floor because downstairs is a little too tight. Overall a good family place to go to when in Yonkers. read more

Food is always top shelf,every time I go there and try something different I always find my new favorite dish,The staff is always on top of everything,For such small kitchen the food that comes out is amazing , read more

Carlos pizza is always delicious but I don't know if they changed staff, not friendly at all.

One of the best Italian restaurants around. Make a reservation, it fills up! Especially on a Saturday night, even before 6pm.

All the food I have gotten here has ben great I would order different dishes just to see their taste.chicken is always tender sauces complement the dishes not overpowering.Dessert good too recommended the NY cheesecake would get for free sometimes with rewards points . read more

Excellent Italian food my very favorite is Drunken Chicken Parm. Good service and ambiance. Sheila is a first class professional hostess, treats everybody with the same gracious smile and respect she greets everyone else. It is always advisable and just to be safe to make a reservation. Try the Warm Bread Pudding, it's a winner. Where you park downstairs is their Pizzeria and you can order take out any of the dishes you have in the restaurant to take home. read more

Been going to Carlos for over 30 years it's always been a good place for lunch and dinner Great environment and service Tremendous menu and food is very good and good portions Can't go wrong read more

Placed an order for delivery. Food was delivered quick but the food had no taste very disappointing they use to have real good food

That was the most delicious food. The people were so nice and atmosphere was great. It's a little tight in there. But we would definitely go back. Prices were very fair too. read more

Wow! the food is great! Their wedges are pretty big!! The meatballs, eggplant parm is the best!!

Friendly staff, delicious food, especially the drunken chicken parm. They also provide huge portions even if it's for one person. The drinks/bartender however were absolutely awful. The cosmos were just glasses of juice, you can tell it's bad based on the color in my photo. A cosmo should not look like that. Same went for the margaritas. The drinks are all juice and sugar. Food was amazing though. read more

The woman in the pickup area acts like she doesn't want to be there, she treats customers poorly, and I don't think I'll buy anything there again. I've been buying from them for years, but lately it seems like they've changed staff because it wasn't like this before. I didn't enjoy my food today. read more

Well this is a the best that Italian gastronomy has to offer. This is a memory retreat for me visiting Yonkers and my favorite Italian restaurant growing up The ambience is indeed a close knit family restaurant still run by the generations before them with Pete and Sheila The service was delayed but who cares? Thii S is the real deal and brought back only Memories of Family and love Take a look at this food and tell me it's better anywhere I Miss Carlos pizza and all of the fare we dined on I even had a Yonkers ipa I cited when I left and need to visit more as this is the place I live you Carlos and thank you for the memories read more

We normally love this place but unfortunately we had a very bad experience tonite that was worthy of the department of health being notified. We were eating the Caesar salad when my wife discovered a dead bug in her food. We tried to be low keyed about it but my wife was too grossed out to eat any more food. They offered another appetizer but she couldn't eat anything else. The manager came over and said he would take it off the bill but she couldn't eat anymore and they should have taken the entree off and offered us coffee and desert. I would not be writing this if they did. I am sure this could happen anywhere but all things considered they thought it was " just a bug and a small inconvenience for us and nothing for them. read more

Stopped in off the street from a recommendation and glad we did! Unfortunately I got so happy when the meals came out that I got right to it and forgot to take pictures of the outstanding meals they put in front of us. Just the garlic bread picture, and just look at that masterpiece! A nice relaxing atmosphere, casual, which is all me, and very friendly staff. The food was phenomenal too! Real Italian effort in crafting the beautiful creations coming out of the kitchen, using quality ingredients (as far as I can tell but sure seems it). Sure seems like a winner to me! An hour from my home but we'll be back. If you're in or around Yonkers, NY and looking for a great Italian restaurant, try Carlo's. The chef is from Milan, Italy (and you can tell.) read more

If I can give it a negative i would i have been ordering from this place for over 20 years it was good food decent service but the last 3 years its been nothing but downward horrible service long delivery time a d highway robbery prices and on top of that we get food not fit for human consumption i could have hammered my French fries into a wall and my steak was cold and rubbery when I called to complain they offered me 10 dollars instead of offering to make it right by the way it was 95 dollars for 2 rubbery and cold steaks so I figured they need the 10 dollars more than I do so I took the food back and got a refund THIS WILL BE MY LAST TIME ORDERING FROM CARLOS AFTER 20 YEARS BUT WITH THUS TYPE OF SERVICE AND FOOD AND PRICES THEY WONT BE MISSED read more

Food is superb. My folks went there for 20 years. But honestly high turnover in waitstaff and managers. However, I went 2 or 3x to book a catering party at my home. I was told Pete or Shiela would be out in 10 or 15 minutes. Then says they are busy too busy with maintenance other excuses. Thank you read more

I ordered a small personal pie because I was starved. After I promised myself I would never order from there again because the last time I did the cabbage in my salad wasn't washed properly. Yes I know it's expected but it shouldn't be. Especially paying nearly $25 for a salad. Today I forgot my Lunch so I said let me just order a personal buffalo pie. Biggest mistake of my life. I could never see that place again the same way. When I went back there was barely no acknowledgment. Try hair nets. Absolutely disgusting and if your like me and have a phobia of hair. Then don't look at this. If I could I would tell everyone to never go there. And I'm not even a helper ‍-5 stars read more
