"Wonderful place to eat at if you happen to find yourself strolling down Montana Ave in Santa Monica. Between the wonderful weather and delicious food it makes for a great time. Amazing and quick service. As for the food i was greatly pleased! The only bad critique i have is the marinara sauce (not pictured) that comes with the calamari, it was very soup like(low key giving tomato soup vibes), it lacked the thickness of a dipping sauce BUT nonetheless still good. I ordered the blackened chicken Caesar sandwich and chiiiiile the chicken was so juicy and seasoned to perfection. Everything tasted so fresh! My sister ordered the half pound rosti cheeseburger which looked delicious she did state ? for it to be a well done burger it?s still juicy and flavorful, it doesn?t taste dry at all? Of course i had to order me a drink, i kept it classy with Prosecco i love how it comes in a small individual bottle vs it being poured from a larger bottle. We ordered the pollo al mattone(drumsticks) for my nephew unfortunately he didn?t seem to enjoy the drumsticks as much but he was able to eat the fries. Btw the fries y u m m y you can taste the rosemary sea salt and I?m guessing a drizzle of olive oil. all in all this place is delicious and a heavy recommendation to eat at, the only downside honestly would be finding parking if their parking lot is full, but even then that was not much of an issue"

"we have been going to carlito for several years. we supported them during covid by consistently ordering them. twice in the last months was my eating sub par. for the first time, my court almost tasted like a soap plate. it was sent back, and I got another court, but it was after my fiancée just over ended his court. tonight we went there, and I ordered a garnel Sampi court for $28.00 I received the court with seven garnel and no more than 10 strands pasta. I asked why so little pasta when pasta is the cheap part of the meal. the court was withdrawn and returned with a tonne pasta, which was pumped on the court, now not tasteful (watery,) because no more sauce was placed on pasta. my fiancée spoke to one of the owners, and everything she said was regrettable. if I pay almost thirty dollars for a meal, I expect it to be perfect. Last time I was told that there were new chefs, well, they didn't make it better. bring back the old cooks or cooks who know what they are doing. that's a hit for carltios, not sure if we make a strike again. soouu disappointing! we loved this place, and now we really don't want to go back. if a meal is not correct, is it not to the owner to do good at the meal? we were not offered anything at all. very poor art, business, carltos! start the training of their chefs we know are not chefs to do better. they will lose good customers like us who do not think of paying when the meal is good."
