In the early 1970's, Carlo and Felicia Schiattarella ventured from their small town in Naples, Italy & opened a quaint carryout pizzeria. Three decades later, The Schiattarella family is proudly introducing their 3rd full service restaurant in MD.
Come join us for a delectable experience at Carlo's Italian Bistro and enjoy authentic, mouth watering Southern Italian cuisine.
We take pride in serving top quality veal, chicken, seafood and shellfish specialties, along with salads, subs and sandwiches. With all of our menu items made fresh to order, we can gladly accommodate any dietary needs and preferences.
Our casually elegant dining room is a perfect setting for a romantic dinner, friendly get-together or business luncheon, along with plenty of space for large parties & gatherings.
Although we do not have a liquor license, we encourage our guests to bring their own alcoholic beverages to complete their dining experience.
"We have had the pleasure of eating at Carlo’s many times and have never been disappointed. The food is outstanding as is the selection. Service is impeccable. BYOB is a definite plus. Thank you for a pleasant evening."

"I absolutely love Carlos! The food is always consistently excellent, served in a timely fashion, and the waiters/waitresses are always accommodating. Can't say enough about this place! I have brought many new people to this restaurant and they said they would definitely come again."

"Our group of four professional gentlemen recently opted for an evening of cuisine and comraderie at Carlo's Italian Bistro. The evening was a complete delight to all. Excellent food and great service in a wonderful venue. We were so happy about our experience that we all will be returning with family and friends. Well done indeed, Carlo and crew!!"

"Came here for dinner in May with 16 girls and the service and atmosphere was excellent. Since then I have come back for a little romantic dinner with my fiancé and then a graduation lunch for 13 people. Everyone who works there from the owners Stephanie and Carlos, to the servers Lisa and Nashia (sorry for the incorrect spelling) have always given us such superb service that we are now planning to do hold a small wedding ceremony / brunch there on New Years Day 2014!
If your reading this review and haven't had the opportunity to visit here yet for lunch or dinner, make your reservations today! You will not be sorry!"

"At Carlo's you get wonderful Italian food in a lovely and spacious atmosphere. The parking is easy and you can bring your own wine which is great. It's a great place to spend a very nice evening with friends."

"Two reviews in one……Saturday 5 of us came for lunch. Sunday we had a family luncheon for 43. Everyone who served us at Carlo’s were nice and warm people who genuinely cared about us and it showed in everything they did. From the time we arrived until we left, they looked after us and attended to our every need. You really outdid yourselves. Thank you for 2 wonderful meals and service."

"I experienced Carlo's Italian Bistro for the first time while taking my 92 year young mother out of Mother's Day. The service was outstanding, the food was excellent, and the general decor of the restaurant was very relaxing.
I would recommended highly."

"Carlo’s is one of our favorite dining spots. Because it is a family-run restaurant, they take the time to make you feel welcome. They are good a recognizing repeat customers. The food is beautifully prepared, presented and delicious. Donny, our server, was great. Thank you for honoring Mothers on Mother’s day with flowers – such a nice touch!"

"We used to eat at Carlo's in Perring Plaza and followed him to the new location in Cockeysville. The menu has improved and the ambiance is significantly better. We highly recommend this to lovers of Italian food looking for an alternative to Little Italy or a chain restaurant."

"This was a great surprise! BYOB is a great concept, and allows us to spend more on the food! And the food was very well prepared, hot and interesting. The wait staff is young, and could use a bit more education about the menu. For instance, the young man serving us had no idea what cut of meat was being used for the "pork wings." He figured it out by walking to another table and looking at someone's plate.
But a great neighborhood place. We'll be back!"

"We'd been in mourning when the original Bistro closed in North plaza,so were thrilled to hear they'd reopened in the new location. The things we loved were even better than before - great food and service - but the new setting is even better. May they get the attention they deserve in this new location. We'll return to being regulars."

"Carlos is the best kept secret in Cockeysville! The ambiance is beautiful. The food is all made to order and absolutely delicious! They even offer gluten-free meals. Chef Carlo comes around to greet his customers. First class all the way. This is such a great place! BYOB."

"The waitress was conscientious but not polished. She could not pronounce the name of one of the evening specials, but she tried hard. Service was spotty although the restaurant was not crowded. Food was delicious. Five of us dined and each selected a different meal and everyone was pleased."

"The food was very good and we had good service but were disappointed that an Italian restaurant did not have a license to serve wine. You can bring in your own but unless you know this ahead and can plan to bring a bottle, you are out of luck. After talking with the waiter, it appears it isn't in the works to change."

"What an incredibly fun evening! We were thrilled to have Frank and Trish serenade us with Sinatra’s classics. Our group of 11 had a fantastic experience. We loved having the chance to dance. The combination of great music, ambiance, food, and service created a truly wonderful evening. Thank you so much."
