After almost going bankrupt trying to find good coffee here, I finally found a place that I like!!! I had a very nice cannoli too! Service was very friendly and the glass of water was much appreciated!!!

We had some delicious, beautifully prepared dishes this evening at Carlisi. The atmosphere is laid back casual and the service is warm and friendly. The staff; which I sadly didn't ask for their names, were extremely knowledgeable about the menu and they gave us a delicious wine recommendation. We are heading back to Glasgow tomorrow but intend stopping off for some brunch before hand and to also get some of their amazing connoli to take home. Highly recommend this little gem.

A lovely small cafe / restaurant / shop, Oprated with real passion for grewat service and great food, informal and very friendly. Exquisite food - small Italian plates - not really tapas but certainly worth ordering a couple of dishes each. Every dish was truly wonderful with lovey salad dressings, use of herbs and so on Brilliant!!

Carlisi more than lives up to its reputation with undeniably classic, yet innovative, dishes. Owner personally answered the phone and accommodated our last-minute reservation request. Fresh and spirited define their preparation, presentation and delivery. 5 Stars!

Great cafe/brunch spot in Liverpool. We loved the salmon toast and the arancini, but the croissant wasn't very fresh. The service was great, everyone was very friendly and quick. The environment is pleasant. Thanks.

Lovely place. The service was perfect as was the food and drink. Small seating area with a lovely friendly feel to it. Menu has a large choice of veggie options, which I chose, but am not veggie. They looked unusual and worth a try. Not disappointed. Went in 2 days later and again not disappointed. Great service, lovely food, cosy atmosphere. Wine was lovely too.

Nice and chilled atmosphere. Very inviting cabinet full of authentic Italian cuisine. Had “The King” breakfast which is deceiving to say the least. It was unbelievably filling! Good quality sour dough, salmon, mozzarella. The wife is gluten and dairy free, which the guys were brilliant as they let her choose her own things to make a breakfast. Only down side was the coffee isn’t great, very dark roast and over extracted. Would have been nice if someone had asked if we would like any other drinks during the meal. However that’s the only thing I can point out. Fab otherwise and worth a trip to eat at. 👍🏽

Had potential but we were disappointed. Good atmosphere and friendly service. Well priced. Great background music. But here is the problem. We specifically asked if the orange juice was freshly squeezed and it was not. We ordered toasted ham and cheese and instead received toasted ham, cheese and tomato making the inside of the otherwise tasty bread soggy. Just disappointing because it really did have the potential for a 5 rating!

I'm very picky and careful what I eat and I lean towards mediterranean diet a lot. One day I went to this nice restaurant and I ordered a bruschetta. It was very nice and I noticed they put olive oil directly on the bread. Since then I put extra virgin olive oil on all of my sandwiches , it makes a HUGE difference. Thank you Carlisi for giving me the idea. Now everything I eat is so full of flavour and health. I will definitely go back to try everything else lol 🌸🌺🌷

Found this restaurant in Dale Street by chance and, what a find! It is a small Italian restaurant serving the most delicious food. We visited twice for lunch we were so impressed with it. We had the Avocado Salad both times, which was superb. I saw lots of meals being served, Lasagnes, Bruschetta, Arancini, it was really hard to choose as all meals were prepared with fresh, good quality ingredients and looked amazing. The service was good, waiter/waitresses friendly and helpful. A must when visiting Liverpool

Visited here on our first night in Liverpool as close to our accommodation. It’s a small restaurant serving mainly bruschetta and cold plates, with just a few hot options. This restaurant in my opinion is lovely for lunch but didn’t have enough hot choices for dinner. The cocktails were lovely and the staff were friendly and welcoming.

It has been our second visit when we had to wait 45 minutes for a simple bruschetta. Thought maybe the first time it was a little hiccup but unfortunately it was exactly the same this time. The staff doesn’t seem to know what is going on around. And this all happening when only 3 tables are occupied in entire restaurant. There seems to be a lack of management skills in the young manager who is just walking around without actually checking with customers if everything is ok. Don’t think will be returning any time soon.

We were in Liverpool this morning heading towards the docks and I fancied a coffee, we passed a couple of very busy looking shops and then happened to walk past Carlisli which looked nice and quiet. We popped in and wow, what a gem of a place, perfect hospitality, excellent coffee (good range of plant based milk) and my teenage son had a hot chocolate he said was amazing and a croissant that was almost the size of his head! Very reasonable pricing (was £11 for two hot drinks and a giant croissant with jam!) Service was amazing and we will definitely return when in the area again.
