   Scallops were incredible, fish not so much - overcooked. Very cool view but since it was hot out and the fans were running, it was pretty loud - for a place that charges what they do for a dish, they should look into quieter fans. Still a four-star place but could be five and should be for the price.

   The food was excellent , servers were very friendly and informed. The back patio was a great view of the water and sunset.

   Very disappointing experience! When we arrived we were told we had to eat outside though when reservations were made, I indicated that I didn’t want outdoor seating! It was hot, sticky, uncomfortable and noisy…large fans and music! Food was just fair and the prices very inflated! No pun intended! I would have left, but I don’t know the Area at all so I couldn’t find an alternative place to dine. We were meeting friends who were also unfamiliar with the area….would not return.

   We were glad that we booked outside as we passed by the interior and really smells moldy, like a very old place that needs an upgrade asap. The outside was better than the inside for sure, but it's really hot, and the fans are not enough to make minimum comfortable for a lunch. The food was ok, the portions are really big. The service was not good, as we had to wait a lot to can ask for the check. In fact, who saw me trying to find our server, I believe was the manager, who came quickly to offer me his help. The manager was very nice and sympathetic. Overall, it was an ok experience, maybe we were not lucky by the time of the day we went, Friday 4pm, but I really expected more when I compare with other restaurants in the same price target.

    Food was good and nicely presented. Bar left us meh..a Manhattan made with whit vermouth and no cherry,a dirty martini with no olives(3 came by request but it's part of the recipe). Service was efficient,support staff was excellent,server seemed bored. Add a host/owner circling too much. All that said,the food is good but pricey,atmosphere great on the patio. Will revisit.

    The look of this place was nice but that is definitely what you are paying for. The service was also very good. The food was bland and I ordered the crab cake and it was not worth the hefty price. We sat outside and we were literally fitting off bugs and flies the entire time. Never had that experience at an outside location. I won’t be returning sadly. It was not worth the cost at all.

    Outside seating with beautiful view, service was fantastic… however food lacked flavor and drinks were strong and flavorless as well. This venue has lots of potential but would not return based on food & cocktail quality. Super disappointed for a birthday dinner.

    This was our first visit to Carlucci’s Waterfront. We are not doing any indoor dining, so we booked lunch on the outdoor terrace overlooking the water. Re: the food. Two standouts: a shared appetizer of the most amazing mini crab cakes served with sautéed spinach and the delicious brasciole in a red sauce with pasta. Everything else we had was fine. The wine list has excellent wines by the glass. Service was friendly and attentive. Our only complaint: a series of overhead fans along the very long terrace are extremely noisy. We were able to move to a table where the sound was less annoying. Overall, an enjoyable experience. We’ll be back!

    Interesting guy (assumed owner) came asking if everything was "all right". It kinda was until he came around because he reeked if cigarettes... Water was never re filled until I asked twice. High chair was never offered for my 3 year old... So... Good food with minimal service. If I was paying, I would not have paid any tip..

    Ate here for the first time recently. Had a 5 PM reservation so was not very crowded when we got there. Our waitress Ashley was friendly and attentive. I have a food allergy so I have to be very careful when we eat out, and it is imperative that the server relays the allergy to the kitchen and makes sure that the meal is allergen-free. Ashley made sure that everything was made to order. I had grilled scallops on a salad, and it was delicious. My husband had the crab cakes. Waterfront seating was nice. Would eat here again.

    We went to Carluccis at the Waterfront with 10 people for my husbands birthday. We were very excited and hoping for a high quality dining experience. Unfortunately that is not at all what we got. First we choose this location for the waterfront and outdoor dining. We actually live a few blocks from the Yardley location. The atmosphere was one of the few positive things. Our meal started by having to ask our server four times for bread. Finally he responded that he will try this time not to forget. His lack of attention continued throughout the meal and we had to hunt him down for refills etc. When our meals did come, our daughter did not receive her kids meal for 15 minutes after everyone else. Her ravioli was very over cooked and had no filling. My husband ordered the seafood carnivale. Absolutely terrible!! It had sand in the bowl, pasta was dry and overcooked, he bit down on a piece of shell and it had no flavor at all. Several others in our party also complained about their meal but we were very unhappy since it was my husbands birthday and his meal was the worst. We did let the manager know when he came around. He was very nice and took it off of our bill. Unfortunately that didn’t make up for the overall disappointment. We will not be returning to carluccis and would not recommend it to others due to the lack of food quality and consistency and poor service.

    Carlucci's was a very nice dining experience. Very nice atmosphere and great views of the river. Food was delicious overall; excellent soups to start off with. Clams casino were fabulous with diced vegies and touch of marinara. Pasta with seafood and stuffed shrimp amalfi (with salmon on top) were great as well. Service got off to a rough start as the server, who was only very recently hired, gave us the wrong bottle of wine (we wanted white but he gave us a red stating that they didn't have that bottle. We believe he asked for help from the bar staff as within a few minutes came back with the bottle we requested; so problem resolved. Aside from that this is a great place to go, however I doubt we'll return because of the prices. Most entrees we've had before are now $40 to $50 which is way overpriced. Appetizers have nearly doubled in price as well. So word to the wise, if you go better have deep pockets to spend.

    All of our food was totally excellent! I had the lamb chops, which are hard to find at any restaurant. These were excellent! The service was impeccable. My fellow diners were also extremely satisfied. One had the prime rib (which, I of course sampled). It was done to perfection; tender, tasty, and delicious. The other entree was the crab cake (which, again, I also sampled). Again, perfection! Tasty, perfectly done and full of crab meat. The wine list also offered an excellent selection of a wide variety of wines. I chose a moderately priced sangiovese, again, an excellent choice! The only minor shortcoming was the dessert. My fellow diners are absolute chocolate aficionados. We ordered 2 servings of the chocolate layer cake to share among the 3 of us. I was totally satisfied, but my fellow diners thought it was somewhat dry. Overall, this was one of the best dining experiences we've had in the last 3 years. I would highly recommend Carlucci's and will most definitely return. Bravo!

    We did not order any appetizers and only had one bottle of wine for a party of five and was over $400 with tip. Service was mediocre. Just not worth the money or value that we get charged. No table cloth or any good dining setting even outdoors.
