Worst. Food..skimpy portions...was there twice for two functions...terrible....crabcakes had something in them that did not taste like crab to me..terrible ....garbage read more

The rolls were stale, and the service was the worst any of us have ever had - the waiter had an attitude, and we sat at the table for 20 minutes before we had to flag down a waiter to came to take our order for drinks and serve the bread. The entrees were all underwhelming and felt like they were not even close to fine dining standards. read more

The crab bruschetta and the Shrimp & Salmon Amalfi were PERFECT! A last minute decision for Easter dinner did NOT disappoint. The service, the atmosphere, (and the leftovers) were like a warm hug on a beautiful day! #ChefsKiss read more

Great experience. Brought my girlfriend here for our year anniversary and our servers made it a great experience especially Sarah! She had a lil note for us and even brought us a lil dessert at the end. The drinks were very good as well (The Peach Bellini and the Caribbean Smash) . The appetizers were just okay (Calamari and Balsamic Glazed Figs w/ Prosciutto) but the entrees of Gnocchi and Lasagna were wonderful and the setting and water view were a nice addition. Thank you all for a great anniversary lunch. read more

We went on Monday for lunch. Sat on the back porch which was very warm with heaters and a gorgeous view of the River. Food and service perfect. Cannot wait to go back this summer when the windows are open. A nice treat! read more

Was there for Mothers day 2025 with 7 others and it was one of the worst italian meals I've had. I had the Chicken Francese at $34 served with no salad, very little gravy on the chicken and pasta and no taste. Oh and the chicken was dry. Over whelming comment from everyone no flavor and over priced. Wife had to send back the Sea Bass for being under cooked. Won't be going back there! read more

We were a group of 10 and were seated outdoors. There was not much noise so it allowed for us to speak comfortably. The bar was willing to mix drinks not immediately in their menu and the food was very tasty. read more

SERVICE: Upon arriving and checking in, we did not get a warm greeting and reception from the host/hostess stand (3 people were standing there). As we were seated at the bar, a hostess came over to the bar area and yelled out a guest's name and party #, asking if they were here. When she walked away, every person at the bar was left rattled and staring at each other with confusion. We waited a while for the Bartender to come over to us and when she did she only put a drink menu in front of us and walked away. Never greeted us with a hello or I'll be right back with you or even a smile. When she returned, she asked what we wanted to drink. I had a question about a wine and instead of answering it she walked away and returned with a class of that wine. FOOD: Over priced. My husband got the Beef Braciole. It was disappointingly dry.I got the seafood cannelloni. The sauce was good but pasta shell was too thick. Also, I think it was stuffed with imitation crabmeat. The texture seemed stringy like imitation crabmeat and without the sauce it tasted like it, which I don't like. AMBIANCE: Bar is small and the outside covered area should have a nice ambiance with some decor. The setting on the water and the western sun exposure is nice and pretty. read more

Had a wonderful lunch with my sister in law. Only second time there but really enjoyed the experience

the Rigatoni was pretty decent being creamy but when removing the edible flower that was on top, there was a small insect on it. I also requested no graded cheese on top, and there was. The service was fast and consistent. The ambiance is very modern having a small but really nice bathroom. read more

Well, the only word I can use to describe CARLUCCI'S WATERFRONT is , " Spectacular ". Ambience, food, cocktails, service .. & .. our view of the Rancocas Creek was beautiful. It was my wife's & my first visit .. & .. believe me, " We were not disappointed at all ". The bartender was very, very nice .. & .. he was a true wizard mixologist. Our waiter was very attentive & outgoing; he couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. My branzino was " the Best I've ever had " .. & .. I've had branzino everywhere .. when it's on the menu. My wife's brazed short ribs were outstanding. I was lucky to get even a small taste. One of the things I liked was their suggested " wine pairings with the chef's menu ". Both of our selections were spot on. Soooo .. when you're looking for the " perfect place " to spend an evening .. & .. enjoy a phenomenal meal & experience .. you really should try CARLUCCI'S WATERFRONT RESTAURANT. You definitely won't be disappointed. read more

Food choices were ok. Service was excellent. Couldn't give a 100% bcuz I didn't quite determine if I liked my fish or not.

Came here with a couple friends for an early dinner on a Saturday. We had a reservation booked in advance and were seated right away. We sat on the patio and it was a very nice experience! We started with the crab meat bruschetta and salads. They were great! And then I had the vodka rigatoni without meat. It was fantastic. This was my second time having the vodka rigatoni and it was perfect both times. It had rained recently so the view was nice as well. Service was friendly and efficient. Always a nice time at Carlucci's! read more

I have been coming to your restaurant for 25 years. This last time end of March was the worst . We both ordered French onion soup 9 dollars each and it was awful. I have had it a bars for 5 dollars so much better. we ordered the sirloin which was good but just a couple small boiled potatoes with it. really you have to do so much more in todays world to charge prices like that. Also bathrooms are disgusting so small and dirty. they need to be gutted. I hate to be negative but can't help it. this was my favorite place but not anymore. sincerely, Maria Conley read more

The food was great, as usual. The drinks were excellent, and the service was pleasant and professional. This is truly a restaurant for our special nights out, although frankly, if we lived closer we'd be here every weekend. read more

Restaurants with a view usually give me vertigo. No, not the physical variety just the nagging sensation that I'm falling into a ripoff. My experience has been that the many advantages of prime real estate are often squandered in the kitchen as the proprietor believes his guests will be hypnotized by the gaze into sweet nothings while the kitchen mails in a mediocre meal and a Heimlich-inducing check. I am happy to say that Carlucci's disappointed me. Sure they're busy and the view is serene but the service and the meal conspired to make a liar out of me. I'm a crab cake guy so I've had my share of excellent spheres. These were excellent as was the generous antipasto and the pastaless Pasta Fagioli. Nothing was hurried making the view a definite bonus instead of the main course. Five easy stars and no Heimlich. read more

Worst Chilean Sea Bass I've ever had was at Carlucci's. I have had fish sticks that tasted better. The outside setting and views are wonderful and the service is good but don't go for the dinner food. Lunch food was ok. read more

Had a couple of martinis here with my fiancé and was very happy with how delicious the drinks were. Didn't realize how expensive food was, would probably come here for a special occasion due to the price however I would definitely come back for drinks. We came on a Monday so it wasn't very busy, and the weather made it too cold to sit outside. Heard great things about this place so I'll come back during summer to enjoy the outdoor patio. read more

Carlucci's Waterfront - Godiva White Chocolate Martini - Seafood Near Me - Mount Laurel, New Jersey

This place wasn't the best or the worst. Seafood is great and great tasting. Chicken Francese was bad. Way too much lemon to the point of being sour. Bread that you get when being seated is great and full of flavor. Didn't partake in the desserts but had plenty to decide from. Service was great and kind. Place gave off that Library smell if you know what that means. "Library" as in the restaurant. Might go back for their pasta. Ehhh read more

I really recommend this place. Good food great atmosphere nice view. Service was excellent and price reasonable.

We had a birthday dinner there for my father's 70th! We told them many times it was a special birthday. We expected perhaps at least a mention of it or even if we paid for it, a desert with a candle. Nothing. Also, service was very slow and just not very inviting. The waiter had an attitude (though I think he also had allergies, so perhaps he didn't feel well?). Food was mixed. Mine was incredible. Piping hot and an amazing choice. My father's was cold. Just disappointing for a very expensive meal for a special occasion. read more

5 stars aren't enough to properly rate this restaurant, we came with our extended family (party of 15) and we had an incredible experience at Carlucci's Waterfront. From the decor and picturesque view of the lakefront, everything was incredible. Our server Carlos gave us a night to remember. To top it off, the food was nothing short of divine. Can't wait to come back again! read more

Beautiful restaurant, delicious food, and excellent service. My husband and I had a date night here at Carluccis and it did not disappoint. It was too hot to sit outside, but they accommodated us by letting us sit inside where it was much cooler and we still had a nice view of the outside. We each ordered a martini (one dirty, one espresso), and crab bruschetta for an appetizer. Drinks and appetizer were very good. We got a bottle of wine for dinner ordered the crab cake, which was OK. A little bland, but full of crab meat. Not much to the dish, just a giant crab cake and spinach. We also ordered the seafood Canneloni which was absolutely delicious. Our waiter Jack, was super friendly and attentive. Will definitely go back. read more

Carlucci's Waterfront - Island Coconut Shrimp was excellent - Seafood Near Me - Mount Laurel, New Jersey

For the last 8 years, many of my friends and I have met once every month for a fantastic dinner. The food, the atmosphere, the environment, and the entire ambiance are ALL beyond compare. For example, where else can you experience your meal while overlooking the beauty, solitude and the amazing nature of Rancocas Creek. At Carlucci's that is standard fare if you choose to sit outside on their HUGE covered patio. We have NEVER BEEN disappointed and we firmly believe you will find the same friendliness and quality and beauty as we have - for the past 8 years - month in and month out! Give it a try. WHile you're ther, say "HI" to Carlo, the manager. Mark. read more

Excellent food, ambiance and very attentive and amenable service I would certainly recommend this restaurant and will return often.

We had the rehearsal dinner there for my daughter & son-in-law's wedding - the food was excellent and the service was great. We were at multiple tables in the main dining room so other than the ambient sound volume I have no complaints! Looking forward to dining there again! read more

I have been to this restaurant about three times now and every time it's a wonderful experience. The wine selection has yet to fail me and neither has the food. The service is always beyond wonderful. They are very attentive and are quick to accommodate your needs. I was able to create my own plate for my grandmother, who is quite a picky eater. I always do the outside seating. The waterfront view is lovely. Due to COVID and cold weather, they added a huge tent with heaters. It was toasty in there and felt just as comfortable as any other regular day dining out. Servers were wearing masks at all times and you also didn't feel super on top of of others, which is great. This is a nice place to enjoy a beautiful night whether celebrating with loved ones or simply enjoying someone's company! read more

Always a good meal here. Came here on a Sunday night for dinner and was seating right away (with reservations) and greeted by a waiter shorty after. We got claims casino to start with and they were amazing. ACTUAL clams which is rare for the "casino" type and so juicy and tasty. My dad got the veal with crabmeat dish and got pasta instead of the veggies which was a great choice. Very flavorful! I got the seafood stuffed pasta in a blush sauce-- to die for. So much flavor and great portions for both! Homemade tiramisu had more of a mouse type "filling" and was nice and light to end the night. Love this place! read more

We came here for Valentine's Day dinner on the 13th, and we had a reservation. We checked in and they sat us down right away. I wasn't too impressed with the restaurant itself. It was just a ballroom with tables and I feel like for the cost of the meal I was expecting something better. I had the crabcake and I was not impressed. The mashed potatoes and peas were also just drenched in garlic. They were almost not edible. Definitely not worth trying again. However, I had a chance to try one of their pasta specials in a blush vodka sauce, and that meal was excellent. If it were just based on the one meal and our server I would've given Carlucci's a five star, but the atmosphere and my meal itself brought down my rating. read more

This might not be the most fair review as I am judging Carlucci's on a limited holiday menu and on New Year's Eve. I really don't get NYE and the crowds. I never have but my father in law is 93 and in great shape (I wish I had his genes) and I wanted to do something nice for him. I have to start with the good, and it is very good. The staff at Carlucci's was friendly, attentive, accommodating and polite the entire evening. I mean everyone from the valet, to the hosts, the servers and the bus people, etc. They knew what a mad house NYE was going to be and they were prepared. The place was mobbed and they told us up front that our table was running 15 minutes late past our reservation and this was accurate. A lot of the charm of Carlucci's is that it is located on the waterfront of the Rancocas Creek. Unfortunately for us, it was pouring rain and December 31st and this part of the space was not open or usable. The inside, as others have mentioned, is in need of updating. I understand that this would be a difficult task as it is an older building and closing this extremely busy restaurant for any length of time would result in a huge loss of sales. When we were seated in the main dining room, they had a singer with a guitar playing some nice background music. The room was fairly loud and hard to hear him with so many people celebrating, but I thought it was a nice touch. Carlucci's was using their holiday menu and it was limited. There were however a decent amount of choices including a seven fishes option. I would assume their regular menu is more varied. Our dinner started with the Manhattan Clam Chowder and this was pretty good and not overly salty. I ordered the Chicken Francaise with Shrimp and I would say this dish was mediocre. It was not bad by any means but certainly not memorable either. It was just bland. My father in law had the Maryland Crab cakes and they came with a good amount of crab. My wife didn't care for what she ordered, it wasn't what she expected, and did not eat much of it. Carlucci's noticed this and graciously took this off of our check which was very nice of them. Again, great customer service. On this night, I would have to go with the 3.5 stars Carlucci's receives on average on Yelp for their food. Carlucci's does get 5 stars for their staff and customer service. I would come back but only when the weather is nicer and the outdoor dining area is open. read more

Carlucci's Waterfront - Seafood Near Me - Mount Laurel, New Jersey

Its been a few years since we have been there. I am happy to say the coveted area was very nice and even though we didn't sit there because of stairs to get in, our view was good and seating was nice. The view of the water was very relaxing. We started off with Italian wedding soup . It was very good and had a nice flavor. Since we were a party of three each of us chose a different dish. One was recommended by the waiter, it was sunset mango tilapia. I am so glad I asked because it was delicious. The tilapia was perfectly cooked. All the fruit was fresh and everything I wanted. The other two selections were lasagna and raviolis. Each were very pleased and happy with their selection. We were given a bread selection and the one I chose was very tasty. Sorry but I can't eat dessert but maybe next time. I will be back again. read more

Decided to stop by here for an early dinner after reading some great reviews on Yelp. We opted for outdoor dining which had some great ambiance with heaters and string lights. Our waiter didn't introduce himself or list any specials instead just asked us if we were ready to order. I didn't think much of it until I saw a different waiter approach a table by saying his name and offering some course selections. I really enjoyed the rosemary garlic bread and wish I could take a whole loaf home haha. The blue point oysters tasted fresh and the mini tobasco was cute. We decided to get the Boston harbor seafood platter to share as an entree. Both the tarter sauce and marinara complimented the dish well. The scallops were tender and juicy. The shrimp I could barely taste since it was mostly breading. The oyster melted in your mouth but we only received one which was odd. I think we were supposed to receive two because the scallops and shrimp both came in a pair. The crab cake was my favorite. It was flaky and seasoned well. The flounder was a different story. I'm pretty sure the chef forgot to season it before frying it because it was very bland. The mashed potatoes were delicious, butter garlic but a bit cold. The vegetables seemed overcooked and mushy. Overall we were a bit disappointed with the quality of the food due to the price and upscale feel the restaurants gives off. Possibly may be because they don't specialize in seafood. Will most likely return just to try a pasta dish to give the benefit of the doubt. read more
