Carlo's Italian Bistro

So a simple bread but delicious! Meatball app was wonderful and the lobster ravioli never disappointed. The service was easy, but the food was for it.

Local Italian restaurant with casual but attentive service. Small wine list with different house wines and some by-the bottle. The Shrimp Pomodoro with Fatuccini (substituted Pomodoro instead of Marinara) was delicious!

My friend and I remembered Carlos as a quiet place with a beautiful atmosphere and solid food from another occasion early in our relationship. We decided that we would dress in full dress for our anniversary. Long dress for her and a suit for me. Carlo 's beat us as a beautiful relaxing place where we're dressed, and could enjoy our special day. It turned out to be remembered. We have the Calamari Appetizer, a true test of the quality of the restaurant seafood, as it is easy to chew. It was light and tasty, and drew flavors from Squid that I never experienced. My calf Parmesan reminded me of my childhood, as Mother did earlier, and her chicken Parmesan was so good they enjoyed the remains of the great part for several days afterwards. The waitress (if we asked) told us the back story of the restaurant as it was family owners, and even took pictures of both of us that were all dressed. At the end of the meal we were too stuffed for dessert, but they brought us something because we had mentioned it was our anniversary. A plate with a dessert cannoli and a happy anniversary written in chocolate in Itallian on it. Overall, it is absolutely delivered on the anniversary-dinner experience we were looking for. Someone told me they heard that the place was loud because of the acoustics, and I can't talk for weekends, but on a weekday evening it's a nice quiet relaxing place. Very recommended.

Honestly I don’t like reviews because most people I find just want to complain. I want to say that I really like this place. It was kid afternoon so it was empty. Which is more to my liking. The decor is nice. Our waitress was extremely friendly and helpful. Most importantly the food was delicious and the portions are filling. My wife had the wise guy and I had the Sausage Nepalitona. I found my dish to be delicious and the seasoning was excellent. I have read some reviews that were critical of how the exterior looked but for me it’s the food that matters and this place really delivers. My wife and I do date night once a week and pick a New restaurant each week. My wife chose Carlo’s and I’m glad she did. We will be back.

I took my son and daughter in law to Carlo’s again, and again. The ladies that serve you are friendly and warm and want you to enjoy your experience. We loved the veal dishes and the quality of the home recipes you can taste. Such flavor and great portions. Ownership is always there and they take pride in every dish that comes out of the kitchen. Try any of the veal dishes and the fish specials are to die for. This is a gem for locals and it many people know about it-very unassuming but warm and relaxing. Come on a weeknight or a weekend. Cockeysville’s lucky to have them.. 5 star food!! Love it love it love it...

Great restaurant, superb food. We frequent there often and were never disappointed in the slightest. Quality, taste of food and portions are amazing. My personal favourite are the seafood dishes. Their soups are outstanding and they have the best bread around. The staff is super friendly and very accommodating. We love the Bistro

My family and I used to go to this restaurant dating back to it's original location. We have been to the new location a few dozen times. I absolutely love the food here with my favorite dishes being a tie between the pizza and the Shrimp Fra Diavolo/Arrabbiata. A close second is the Lasagna. I moved quite a distance away but when I'm close by I always stop in. I love the food so much I have my birthday dinner here and look forward to taking my parents here for special occasions.
