CARLOTTA

Carlotta is the kind of place that manages to feel both fancy and welcoming at the same time. Mark Stafford had a blast with friends, enjoying a quick yet flavorful lunch while being entertained by the open kitchen. The beef Wellington and T-bone had them drooling, and it sounds like the food was spot-on. Alaa A couldn’t get enough of the ricotta with pistachio sauce and the fettuccine Alfredo with truffle — that’s some serious comfort food game.

But like any good story, there are hiccups. Ryan Brown felt the buzz of the crowd, but the atmosphere was a bit overwhelming for some. Still, if you’re after a delicious Italian meal with great service, Carlotta will leave you satisfied, just be ready to navigate through a buzzing crowd. ✅
