Carlo Italian Bistro-Deli in Waverley - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Lovely Italian cafe / bistro. Food is fabulous & the service is very friendly yet professional… I would recommend for dinner or lunch or even a coffee

Our first time here was really enjoyable. It was a last minute decision to go out for dinner. The place surprised us with how busy it was for a Thursday evening. Service was great, food was great (I loved the Arancini) and the prices were reasonable. We will most definitely return - it’s nice to find this place locally to us.

Nice authentic, Italian . Good service and reasonable prices. Calamari starter was exceptional. Would definitely go again if in the area.

This restaurant has nice cosy and warm atmosphere with kind, friendly and attentive service. I ordered a “penne chorizo” which was certainly below average, it tasted like fat, oil and the chorizo flavour was weak. However, my family member ordered an “arrabbiata penne” which packed a good punch, the pasta was al dente and cooked to perfection. There are many wines choose from so wine lovers will enjoy.

Really lovely meal and lovely atmosphere. The service is always excellent, the food never disappoints and the puddings are home made and delicious.

Tidy little restaurant, white tablecloths and napkins, sparkling glassware. Decent range of menu choices, well presented. Bottled water and Peroni expensive.

So good to find a simple restaurant serving honest Italian food in large quantities at reasonable prices. I am over the moon to find somewhere local where I can enjoy a delicious meal without feeling I am being ripped off! Today was my first visit with a niece, after many recommendations. A very simple facade - a restaurant cum delicatessen. The food was amazing. The arancini were to die for, crisp, thin shelled outside with a delicious moist filling of rice and bolognese sauce. We shared a portion as a starter and I am determined to try the cheese version next time. I had the black spaghetti with prawns, and could taste what I think was tuna and capers amongst other things. I couldn’t finish it, just too much for me. My niece had the excellent penne arrabiata, beautifully creamy and spicy. Definitely for me next time. Unless I share the mouth-watering pizza Four Seasons, with the thin crust, being devoured by a gentleman at a neighbouring table… (I don’t normally ever choose pizza, but it looked SO good). Afterwards we shared a Tiramisu - not huge, but so rich and moist. I shall be back, soon, even if I go alone! The chairs were not very comfortable for me, a lady of ample girth, as they had annoying little metal bits of the framework that stuck into me. How anyone can remain slim with food like that to eat, is a mystery to me. I shall get over it by taking a cushion next time.
