    Carelli's Pizzeria & Pasta - Work in' hard, great place

    Catching up on a review I am overdue writing from our road trip through the Rockies in mid-August…read more Carelli's is one of those places that I'll always remember. The staff was super cool, friendly, funny. We loved our server, Mariah, and chatted with one of the pizza chefs in the open kitchen. They were all working so hard and gave this place such a fun vibe. We ordered the "All The Way" pizza and a "Colowyo" Stromboli to share. OMG...so much food and so good (and we are picky about our pizza). I also ordered a side salad, which was good, but standard. They have a beer club where locals can buy a stein and hang it on a peg on the wall to use when they come in. Fun! If I lived nearby, would definitely eat here frequently! I give this restaurant a rock solid 4 stars, but bumping it up one star due to their staff -- it's all about the people, right?

    After an exhausting day working in the field, my coworker (friend lol) and I decided that we wanted…read moreto treat ourselves to a fricken bomb dinner in a town that was nicer and more familiar than the podunk place we were staying for the week. Insert Carelli's in Craig, Colorado. We found street parking right out front, and walked in expecting the place to be small, quaint, and give off a very homey vibe. The front, which seemed to be sort of a quickie to go type of place to grab a slice of pizza for lunch definitely rang true to our assumptions, but we ventured into the rear of the restaurant to find what I can only describe as elegant and casual at the same time. Um... what? A nice, upscale place in a small mountain town of Colorado??? We were greeted and seated quickly, and found ourselves at a cozy little two top, ready to order drinks while we were perusing the large menu. I started with an IPA (unfortunately don't remember the name of said beverage), and my friend ordered a white sangria. We decided to try starting with their bruschetta, as well, while still deciding on our meals. The drinks made their way to our table, and we were ready to order; I wanted to try their chicken piccata at the suggestion of my friend (I'd never had it before!), and she went with the classic spaghetti bolognese. We spent some time getting lost in conversation until our starter came out. It looked good! Definitely different than the bruschetta that we have both had in the past, but it was yummy! The plate was steaming hot, and the cheese was nicely melted over sliced tomatoes; the bread was a bit crusty on the edges, and soft and chewy on the inside. We continued talking while inhaling the appetizer, and it seemed like mere seconds had passed when the main course was set in front of us. The dishes looked pretty good. My plate was super hot, and my friend said hers was too, which is always a plus; hot food is the best lol. Overall, we both enjoyed our meals; I think my chicken was slightly dry, and the sauce it came smothered in could have been more prominent, but the sauce was very flavorful for what it was. The spaghetti it came with was definitely warm and it tasted good, but it didn't absolutely blow me out of the water - it was just normal, run of the mill spaghetti! My friend said she liked her dish, but that it was missing some of the more "traditional" aspects of what she normally sees with bolognese. I'd definitely come back if I were in town again!! The experience was super nice, the staff was friendly, and prices were reasonable.

    In twenty years of travel (work) this is the BEST curated small space that has something for anyone…read morewalking in the door. I walked in looking for a bottle of local wine (new in town) and found MUCH more. There are fresh cheeses that the owner graciously offers samples before buying. The wine selection was missing local wines, but once I engaged Vanessa's wine knowledge, I found we were sympatico on drinking unadulterated (no wierd additives) beverages whether wine or tequila. As I said, the space is small, but the owner has been able to acquire a great selection, if limited, of liquors, wines, beers (beer available by singles). Another bonus was a freezer full of choice cuts of grass-fed, local, angus beef. This is truly a gem in this little town. I haven't shopped the local grocery store, but what I can see online is there is no comparison to the quality of the products in this shop. When dinner or drinks call for 'special occasion'...THIS is the place to shop!

I came for the cheese, but glancing around the shelves, noticed favorite Italian aperitifs and NA beers by Athletic. I will be back to enjoy happy hour (4-6, Tuesday through Saturday). Also pay a visist next door, to Off The Olive Branch, for a dizzying selection of imported oils and vinegars, pastas and sauces, and a big case of quality meats, plus other foods you never knew you needed until now.

    Cafe Diva was very impressive! The service was probably the best I have probably ever had - Casey…read morewent above and beyond, even taking us outside to take a family photo. We ended up splitting some soups (get the tomato crab), the beet salad, and the Market Fish (salmon) on a bed of cous cous and red cabbage. It was very nice that they split all the dishes for us. The crème brûlée was typical of what I get at "fancy" restaurants, and also very delicious. We also got a delicious wine recommended by the sommelier, which was a nice additional service.

    4 stars for the food, deductions for service…read more We got the $95 off season special which was nice. They advertise it on their website but you must request it or they won't offer it. Small restaurant that has been around since the 1990s. My partner enjoyed his sommeliers choice wine Complementary bread (2 small pieces) with olive oil and olives. Pretty good Tomato and crab bisque (shared) was super rich creamy and delicious The duck breast was meh for me. Meat was fine but the rest of it all together was off The venison short loin (red elk) was amazing. It was cooked perfectly- rare to medium rare. Mashed potatoes were good. Asparagus was just ok Crème brûlée was also super delicious. The vanilla bean inside was great We were ready to come back on our last night to order the venison again before we drove back home 3 hours bc the food was so good My biggest complaint and why I dropped two stars were the services. the server was super nice and attentive at the start. But once we finished the entree, he spent most of the time chatting with the table across from us. We heard the whole convo as we were waiting for him to remove our plates and bring us the dessert menu. It was 8pm and he only had two tables left: Our table and the other table. He chatted with the other table about furbo and ring cameras for their pets for a very long time. Maybe ten minutes later he took our plate and said he'd bring the dessert menu. Then he brought them wine , chatted with them for a bit about growing up in steamboat and the neighbors and then he eventually brought our dessert menu. Then while we were eating dessert, chatted with them for another good 20 minutes without even looking at us. We just wanted the check but my partner didn't want to be rude and interrupt him. By 9pm we got tired of waiting and we got up, put our coats on and walked to the front to try to pay at the front. That's when he came over. No apology, just said oh you want to pay? Charged our card and gave us the receipt to sign. We noticed he over charged us. He was already back chatting with the other couple and my partner didn't want to interrupt him so then I went to go ask another employee for help which then got the servers attention and he came over. Then we waited like 10 minutes until he was able to refund and recharge the correct amount. We had just driven 3 hours after having a medical emergency all morning and almost cancelled our trip. We had an absolutely heart wrenching day with the news we received from the doctor. But we decided to move forward with the trip and just have a nice dinner as we recovered for our first night. So while the food was good, this was not a pleasant ending to our already terrifying day. Pay attention to ALL of your customers! Not just the ones who are clearly wealthy and keep ordering more glasses of wine. I am updating the review 06/09 because in the end, the restaurant made it right.

We were seated right away with no reservation (on a Tuesday evening around 7:30 pm); I imagine reservations probably come in handy. We started with a bottle of wine - the wine list had a wide range of bottles priced lower to your more expensive bottle; we chose one in the middle range (super Tuscan) and it was very tasty. Reviews on food: Calamari: I really enjoyed the calamari! It was lightly battered but had just enough crunch. The flavor was great. They even had lemon wedges and pepperoncini fried in with the calamari which I loved. Cesar salad: I forgot to snag a picture of the salad, and it also happened to be my least favorite item we ordered. The dressing was overly sweet for my liking and did not have your standard Cesar flavoring. I wish I would have asked more about the dressing to understand it a little better. I probably would not order this salad again. Eggplant parmigiano: this was sooooo good! The eggplant was breaded and cooked perfectly. I could have just eaten the eggplant it was so tasty. Highly recommend!! Tagliatelle bolognese: I am a huge sucker for bolognese, so I usually judge this sauce pretty tough. This. Was. De. Licious!!! The meat sauce was full of flavors and the noodles were cooked perfectly. I was impressed! Butterscotch budino: perfect way to end our meal. I'm a huge fan of butterscotch flavored desserts and this did not disappoint. It was light and not too heavy after a meal of pasta. The thick layer caramel on top was delicious. The portions were big in my opinion, so while prices were a little high, I thought we got our moneys worth of food. Our server (and others that came to the table) were all super kind and helpful. It does get very loud in the restaurant, so had the weather been nice enough to eat outside, I probably would have chose the patio seating. Overall this was a great meal! 5 starts for the scrumptious food, portion size, and service.

    Great food great service great people. I am a local and we love it. Park on the street or you…read morecan go over to the BMO bank after biz hours and stay away from the major crowds further in town. Yum!
