Trattoria di Carlo

Really amazing pizza. Completely loaded with meat and cheese. I would have given it more stars had it not taken a hour for delivery and it wasn’t as hot as it could have been. Girl answering the phone was nice enough but was definitely rushing me off the phone and didn’t bother to ask how I was paying. I had to catch her before she hung up to give her my credit card number. Would probably order again but will definitely pick up instead in the future.

Best Margarita pizza that I’ve ever had. Carbonara is off the chain. Tiramisu is omg… fabulous.
Ambience is sexy and perfect for a date. Great service.

I was told of this restaurant by the father, Simone (Napoli’s in Burlington, WI), and finally had the chance to go. And had eight other coworkers show up on top of it for pizza and drinks. I’m very picky about my pizza; plus the pressure was on when eight others came. The pizza was amazing. Everyone enjoyed themselves. And with all the drinks, the tab was very reasonable. Our server, Joliet, was a hoot. I’m sure we gave him enough work to do with our order, and reorder for more drinks.
On a separate note for my wine and dessert: the Gabbiano Chianti was very good. The tiramisu was delicious; and the cannoli was fine… I’ll remember next time to just go with the tiramisu. Thank you di Carlo’s for a great evening.
Update:
Returned to try di Carlo’s Chicago-​style pan pizza. Ordered with cheese, sausage, mushroom, and onions… with a glass of Pinot noir from CA (Meomi). Everything was great. The only thing I’d change: go easy on the cheese… way too much. It overwhelmed the other ingredients.
Finished with their tiramisu before paying a reasonable check. Very good.
Special Note: just discovered the best way to reheat leftovers. Use a skillet on the stove top set at medium; be sure to cover with a lid and reheat for several minutes.

I recently discovered that Trattoria di Carlo has a great Friday Fish Fry. So now I have another reason to get delivery from them. They are not just for Pizza anymore!

Overview — Some of the best pizza I’ve ever had! Food 4.5÷5 Customer Service ⁴⁄₅
My favorite pizza maybe anywhere is from here. The deep dish pepperoni and sausage is phenomenal! It’s thick and monstrous so you can really only have 2, maybe 2.5 pieces and you’re stuffed. Their other food is good. It’s just a fun Italian restaurant.
Their customer service is great. The owner is a really nice guy. I’ve never had a bad experience here.
If you’re in the area, check out Di Carlos!

Ordered online for delivery because of fairly good reviews. The food was bland, mediocre at best, and very much overpriced for what you receive.

Service was excellent. I had the thin crust pizza, Crust was thin and crispy. Sauce was bland. My wife had some pasta and also thought it lacked a lot of flavor.

My fiancé and I went here a few weeks back. Amazing service. It was a little crazy because of the homecoming dance at the high school, but the staff was great. My food was absolutely wonderful. I ordered the salmon de mare, and I will definitely be going back again soon! Our waitress was polite and I must say, beautiful. We were in a bit of a rush toward the end, and she did an excellent job of getting us out ASAP. Definitely love this place!

Di Carlo’s has a nice atmosphere– dimmed lights, fancy fixtures– with 2 dining areas and a bar. Their menu features pizzas, pastas, fish, and meat– quite a large selection. They start you off with a basket of warm garlic bread and I also ordered the cheesy garlic bread ($ 4.50) which is basically just a cheese slice on a piece of sandwich bread, really not worth getting plus the cheese got cold and hardened right away.
I ordered the salmon special for $ 21.95-a filet over couscous and drizzled with pesto. The flavors would’ve been good, but the salmon was just too dry it was hard to eat. A friend and I shared the Di Carlo special for dessert, a generous helping of fried dough and four scoops of ice cream drizzled with caramel. Reminiscent of funnel cakes, it was good.
I went with a group of 45 and we all sat in the back dining area. Some people got very frustrated because they didn’t even get their starter salads until 2 hours after others got their entrees and didn’t start eating till 1030. The food came out a little cold as well.
Overall the food is not good for the price especially, though people do like their pizzas, especially the Chicago style which I’ve had and enjoyed before. The service can be hit or miss it depends who you get, but large parties are always hard to accommodate.

My husband and I went out to di Carlo’s yesterday evening and we were very, very disappointed overall.
As an aside: the greeter and server were amazingly nice and accommodating. The server was there in a second if we needed anything, very attentive and apologetic for our experience.
My husband ordered the Chicken Alla Marsala and I had the Chicken Fresco. We also had an order of Mushroom Bruchetta. Both of our meals came with soup or salad and a side of garlic bread. Both were $ 16.99 and the bruchetta was $ 12.99.
Let’s talk about the mushroom bruchetta first. The idea was foreign to me, but my husband must have imagined something great and ordered it right away. It came out with 6 slices of baguette topped with barely «sauteed» mushrooms and covered in melted cheese. It did not come with dipping sauce, nor was there anything to moisten the appetizer (like garlic EVOO or balsamic). It was ok, but definitely left something to be desired, especially for $ 12.99!
Our soups came out next. I had the minestrone and my husband had the crab bisque. Besides the crab bisque being red instead of white (odd…) they were both pretty good.
Then our entrees appeared. Mine had a squeezed lemon on the side that looked like it had been sitting under a heat lamp which was the first thing I saw, the second thing I noticed was that both entrees had fried breaded cutlets (from a freezer) as the chicken. Not grilled, not even hand-​breaded. These were straight up Tyson freezer cutlets (or an off-​brand…). My meal was VERY, very lemony. The vegetables in it were mushy (asparagus, artichokes (from a can), and mushrooms) and the sauce was oily. I was STARVING so I ate one of the chicken cutlets and some asparagus. My husband’s meal was bizarre: again fried Tyson chicken cutlets (2), MAYBE two tablespoons of oily, separated sauce, and a whole crap-​load of white button mushrooms barely sauteed. He took two bites and set it to the side. Both meals also came with a side of spaghetti and «red sauce.» The red sauce tasted like straight sugar and tomatoes and had no salt or any other kind of seasoning in it at all. The spaghetti was cooked ok. And the kicker — the Parmesan cheese was grated store-​bought pizza Parmesan. For a place as «fancy» and expensive as this, I would expect at least some shredded Parmesan and at the most some fresh Parmesan from a grater table-​side.
After much debate between my husband and I on whether we were going to say anything — I finally brought it up to our server (who was sweet as can be). She said she would grab the manager so we could talk to him. A gigantic man came to our table with a look of pure disdain on his face and asked «how is everything?» — we explained, again, about our food and he came back at us with excuse after excuse. He did not ONCE apologize for our unhappiness and he did not do ANYTHING to compensate for the meal. He actually took both entrees off of the table and sent the server back to us with a full check to pay. When she returned I told her that my husband had not eaten more than two bites of his meal and we were highly dissatisfied and will not return. She went back to the manager and he took off HALF of my husband’s meal price ($ 8.75 or so). We paid and left.
TO THE MANAGER (And OWNER): I have worked in restaurants for 10 years and have managed plenty as well. You NEVER go to a table and start in on telling them why they are wrong about their meal. You ALWAYS apologize for the inconvenience. And you ALWAYS compensate! Do you know anything about good business practices? This is why small-​business America is failing, because it is easier to go to a corporate business with people who will gladly do everything they can to make sure you return! You just lost as many customers as I can tell about the experience. Also, I don’t give two cents about whether «Carlo» is from «Marsala» or not — the freaking meal you gave us was a disaster! I thought we were on an episode of Kitchen Nightmares! Also — Gordon Ramsay, if you’re listening — GO HELP THESE PEOPLE.
The end.

Nice atmosphere, that gets 4 stars. Good back room for family parties. A family kind of place but still a bit romantic with a dash of chain restaurant. Big menu, all Americanized versions of Italian food.
For the price and atmosphere, I expected better tasting food. I did appreciate that each entrée comes with a side salad. The garlic bread brought to the table was decent. I ordered cheese ravioli. The red sauce (that’s what they call it) was very acidic and lacked herbs. Some basil and oregano would have gone a long way. The ravioli was fatty but flavorless. I really could have been eating anything with an acidic red sauce on it. The texture could have been anything too.
Overall I would recommend it as a location for an extended family dinner, but I can’t recommend the food.

I ate here with a coworker, for the first time. Décor is fitting for the menu. The greeters were very nice, wait staff just as nice.
I ordered from the special menu and to my surprise came an entirely different dish. I brought it to the servers attention he quickly offered to have my requested meal brought out. The dish he brought out was no where near what I ordered. Third time I asked for it to go.
You think I would have looked in the box, to make sure. I did not, as I assumed, after soo many tries that I would be delicious.
NOPE!!! I ended up tossing it.
To be fair, I will try it again. maybe they were out of the special and I keep hearing raving about this place.

I fell in love with this restaurant a few years ago and there’s no going back to a life without di Carlo. I have never had a bad dish there! I will be honest and say I frequent the meadowbrook location more often since it is closer to my home. The oak creek location offers a much larger menu so when I’m in the mood for something not offered at meadowbrook, it is well worth the drive to go get a plate of amazing food!

We here for the first time tonight and have to say I had an amazing experience! Food was off the charts amazing! We had the Chicago style pizza (takes awhile to cook since it’s so thick but beyond worth it!). We had Alex as our server and he was soo on top of his game and very attentive without being annoying. He gave me a sample of their (giordanno ?) pepper because I wasn’t sure what it was and he was super knowledgable about everything including the owner and how things got started! The pizza was phenomenal especially the sauce which lets face it, it’s the most important part. By far the best experience and very affordable! The large 14″ Chicago with 3 – 4 toppings and two sodas was about $ 30 and the slices are so huge we could only eat one each which means there are 6 meals left! The desserts looked amazing and were only about $ 5 each. This is definitely our new favorite place.

Ordered delivery to my hotel and it arrived in less than 1 hr. Food was hot and fresh. I ordered the lobster ravioli and side salad, it was delicious!
Great for people traveling on business looking for a warm meal. Highly recommend

Service was weird the waiter made us pretty uncomfortable.
Food was mediocre too bad. The bruschetta was not edible.
Food is very pricey for the quality, over 60 $ for two for lunch.
I used to really like this resturaunt, I’m sad to see how far quality has slipped.

Best pizza in Oak Creek, I recommend the place if you’re visiting and in a nearby hotel. in the airport area and have some time to kill, or if you work in the area as I do. The thin crust is a good choice if you need to feed a group of people with different tastes, it’s a safe bet if you get a few pizzas with some different toppings, and much better than chain pizza joints. Dining in, the service is often quite good, but not always, it’s a little inconsistent. No bike rack, and like every place else in Oak Creek they close early.

Picked up a pizza to go because I had some work to do in the hotel room and this would be convenient.
Clearly, the pizza was made to order because it took all of 25 minutes from order to pickup. I spent the time sitting at one of their lovely outside tables with a view of the parking lot. Carlo’s oddly faces inwards rather than facing the road. So it’s easy to miss.
When I got the pizza back to the hotel room, it was still warm. Covered in toppings (I chose the farmer’s market) and neatly cut in a checkerboard. I prefer triangles, but whatever. Great for taste and great for toppings. Good stuff.
I would return.

Awful awful place for steak.
I have been here several times and wouldn’t have have had bad things to say until tonight. Utterly unacceptable.
I was with a group from work, about 20 people MANY bottles of nice wine.
The bill must have been more than most people’s rent & car payment for the month.
I ordered the filet, medium. It came out mostly well with a pinch of medium. It was way too tough so I sent it back and asked for medium rare. It came back WELL DONE. These jerks basically gave me back the SAME steak after dipping it in au jus! To re-​serve the same piece of meat is TOALLY UNPROFESSIONAL and SLAP in the face!
And I’m guessing the bill was $ 2,000 for our group and they couldn’t serve a proper steak.
The server tried making it up to me with promises that she never fulfilled. And had the nerve to ask if I wanted a THIRD steak. seriously?! No, I do not want a 3^rd steak and to be sitting there eating still when 20 other people are finished!!! Then gave everyone dessert … I didn’t eat nor ever wanted dessert and I was the one with terribly cooked meat. Rude.
If your people are too incompetent to cook steak properly (twice) TAKE IT OFF THE MENU. Or get rid of the line cooks who can’t cook.
For dinner, I ended up eating my side dishes: asparagus and mushrooms.
As for the well done, twice cooked filet — it ended up going home with someone else as Dog Food.
This evening was nothing short of insulting.

A few nights ago for reasons that still escape me I went on youtube and watched all (three) of rick astleys videos. As our host sat us at trattoria di carlo, he sang the refrain from rick astleys «together forever» and then said «I have no idea why I just sang that.» Coincidence? Or something in the Milwaukee county water supply, I ask you?
Ok off the 80s music and on to the mozzarella.
I would have never known this place was here were it not for Unilocal!Within 5 min of the freeway it has a modern italian restaurant feel to it with dark wood and soft track lighting. There is a small courtyard area for outdoor eating as well.
The menu is huge. Traditional italian with a lot of seafood variations. It took me a while to settle on the cheesy manicotti which was super cheesy and enough for two meals. We also got the calamari which was some of the best Ive had. The di Carlo special for dessert was like an italian crêpe crossed with funnel cake, topped with ice cream and caramel. Yum!
They had a nice bar area with mon-​fri happy hour specials in the $ 2-​$ 5 range (I think) on a sign in the foyer.
