Carlucci’s offers the perfect combination of great food, warm and attentive service, and an unbeatable location just steps from the beach. The pizzas are made with quality ingredients and exceptional care, delivering flavor and consistency in every bite. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, making it ideal for families, couples, or anyone looking to enjoy a great meal after the beach. My family and I discovered it by chance, and it has become our favorite spot. If you’re looking for a place that consistently delivers a great experience, Carlucci’s is absolutely worth visiting.

Great spot for some of the best Italian food you could ever want. The Mrs had black seafood linguini & said, " it's the best I had, better than a restaurant in waikiki". That says it all folks. You should come, period. Paula was our server, she was great!!!

Tatiana was absolutely amazing. Such a wonderful server with such high knowledge of wines. So considering of our newborn baby and has made our dinner at this place truly wonderful experience.

Nice place that has inside and outside seating. The food was decent, nothing that WOWED us - service was excellent and very attentive. There was four of us we did not try any pizza and we asked for separate bills, they added a 20% gratuity to the bill... so really glad we caught that when it came time for tipping...

Great family run Italian restaurant The Gorgonzola apple chicken salad was very good The presentation showed they really care about what they put out. The pizza was very good very nice sauce with quality cheese. I prefer a crisper firmer undercarriage but that's not to say that this isn't good pizza it was very good We will definitely return. I have to cut this short as my wife is having a sneezing attack but she is getting a lot of God bless yous.

This place kicks ass! It's not huge, but has seating inside and outside. The waitress was extremely friendly. There were 4 of us eating and everyone was extremely happy, we all ordered different meals. The appetizers were also excellent. Meat balls and bruschetta were awesome. See pics of the meals, everything was excellent.

We visited Carlucci during our return trip from a vacation in Italy and France. Incredibly, the food at this small restaurant near the beach was better than anything we ate in Rome, Naples or Nice (fantastic italian food in Nice, France - they were historically part of Italy once). Rosario, the owner and executive chef is traditional in his culinary offerings. It's a shock to find what would be a Michelin starred restaurant if it were in Europe in a tiny little strip mall adjacent to a busy beach in South Florida (Pompano). We now make Carlucci's a destination whenever we travel to or through S. Florida. Incredibly impressed with their Penna ala Vodka (the best I've eaten since one time 20 years ago in New York's little Italy neighborhood). Carlucci's appears to be well known for Pizza since nearly everyone within my field of view had a pizza on their table. My wife is begging me to take her back so she can have more of their "white pizza". We live in Texas, that would be a very expensive pIzza, but we'll be back soon. It's worth the trip if you love food.
