Trattoria di Carlo & Pizzeria

This is a great Italian restaurant in Oak Creek, WI. Food is wonderful and service is great. I am always... more

We had heard about this place for some time now, and were anxious to give it a taste. My wifes Pasta was cold, and when she dared mention to our server, she seemed offended. It was almost 15 minutes before she brought the plate back, and needless to say, by then My dinner was cold as well. Although the luke warm food was ok, the server was not someone that we want at our table again. After we fishished, and tried to flag her down for our check, it was another oredeal, and more waiting. We will not return. Cons: Pricey, service more

When they first started, although it was small, we went there a couple times a week. After they expanded, and tried to compete with the likes of "Olive Garden", they lost not only quality of food, but the service is AWFUL! more

If you are looking to have a large party catered, I DON"T recommend Di' Carolos. It took them 3 times to delivery the food. How long can food stay hot why you wait 45 minutes for your entire order to be delivered. In addition, there was a lack of knowledge by the manager of what the menu items cost for catering. I ended up paying another 10% above the original quoted price to get the amount of food I ordered. this doesn't sound like much but when you are ordering serveral hundred dollars of food, it adds up. All because the manager on call didn't know how his own catering employee places an order. You would think the manager of a restaurant would know this information. Again, it took them three attempts to final get us all the food ordered. We have had delivery before and they have substituted soup when they were out of the specific soup we ordered. I would suggest eating there because you have more of a chance to get the correct order and price. more

This was once a great place to eat. Since it has expanded, the service and the food have gone suffered.\r It took over a half hour just to get our food order taken. We observed that menu prices have all increased, the drinks have gotten smaller, it took over a half hour for our food order to be taken, another half hour to get our bread and salads, and then our entrees were cold. My steak was greasy, tough, and fatty. This for $27!!?? The week before I ate at a "chain resturant" and the steak was of better quality, better prepared, and less than half the cost!\r My advice, go someplace else. more

I'm from Racine and have only been to DiCarlo's three times, one two years ago before they expanded, once last year, and just last evening. It is always wonderful.\r \r This is an excellent choice for a dining experience. Yesterday my entire family, sister, parents, husband and two teen children went to celebrate a graduation and we were served so well by a gracious waitress and the food was was delicious. We had a great time, great food, and we all ordered different items and I had an exquisite scallops fiorentina, wow! I took a pic (not a very good one but I'll post it) it was so beautiful and so wonderfully prepared.\r \r This is a great place for a special dinner for anyone. more

I go to di Carlos regularly for lunch. They have a great selection and everything is always delicious. (Hey, I even love the vegetables!) The service is friendly and fast. I haven't had dinner their but I hear that it a wonderful dining experience too. more

One of the best restaurants in the area. The steaks are outstanding. The Lasagna is always perfect, and the appetizers are good. Now with the remodel there is not so much of a wait. But if there is, it's worth it. more

Pizza is a 10....the main courses are excellent. The breaded calamari appetizer is our favorite. The staff is very friendly and on the week end uncle Sam greets you at the door and on occasion breaks into Italian song. Caution! During dinner hour, be prepared to wait. This is an Oak Creek favorite for lunch and dinner. Hopefully the expansion will be complete soon. P.S. We drive from Menomonee Falls and it worth the 30 min run for our Italian fix. Pros: All Good Cons: small bar and dining area more

we have been looking (for years) for a great pizza close to home. We tried the everything but the kitchen sink SUPERB!!!!! You get alot for the value. more

In the land of chain restaurants, Trattoria di Carlo is a breath of fresh air and delicious food. Despite a fifty minute wait at a well-serviced bar with friendly bartender....once we were seated the food and service were superb. Veal Parm, Pasta with spinach and artichokes in 'pink' sauce, and manicotti were so good three talkative women stopped talking and ate to our heart's content. The side salads and Caprese Salad were also excellent and the atmosphere was fun and comfortable. Might try pizza sometime, but with the extensive menu of other Italian entrees, I almost hate to waste my appetite on a boring pizza. Bypass the chains in the Oak Creek area, and head straight to di Carlos. more

I have been here for lunch and dinner and I have yet to be disappointed. Very friendly and excellent value. On the weekend Sam (Salvatore) greets like it was his home and welcomes you to the bar if you get there during rush hour. The pizza is a ten(especially everything but the kitchen sink) and I have yet to be disappointed with any of the main courses. The pasta sauces are always fresh....my favorite the Sicilian Pasta. If you go after 5 most days be prepared to wait. Pros: the fair, taste/value, cozy/friendly Cons: small dining area more

Dicarlo's is the best restuarant in the Milwaukee are where Italian food is served. Their meals are so delicious and authentic. The food tastes so close to home made that I could eat there everyday of the week!!! more

We eat here at least 2 X a month. The food is awesome. I bring my customers here from out of town for a good italian dinner. The best calamari around, friendly atmosphere. Aways have left overs! PROS: Friendly service CONS: Get there early, or you will wait. They are expanding. more
