    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.

    It's such a fun vibe! Green everywhere and our server came to the table totally decked out with…read moregreen eye shadow and was so pleasant (told us she is also the owner). We wanted to love it so much! Because of another reviewer we decided to try the bone in wings with bbq and ranch on the side. The bbq flavor was good! The wings were very crispy, and unfortunately overdone and very dry on the inside. The ranch tasted old and mediocre. We then shared the zesty chicken panini. The chicken was very flavorful and juicy, the avocado was plentiful, but unfortunately the bacon was very thin and undercooked. The waffle fries were hot and crispy. Best part of our meal for sure! The homemade fry sauce tasted and looked like it had been packaged weeks ago so we opted for the table ketchup. There's a lot of menu choices so maybe another entree would have been a home run, but the mediocre sauces are a deal breaker for me, if we pass through again I'll have to try another local spot.

    I went to Craig for a holiday market and decided to stop by this restaurant. It was absolutely…read moreamazing! I got a pickled margarita. It was delicious. I also got the sliders with the pickle pasta. The pickle pasta was by far the best pickle pasta I've ever had in my life. I continue to think that I should drive up there to get it again, even though it's three hours away definitely check this place out.!!!
