First time at Carlos & Carlos and it was terrific. The service was great and the food was delicious. I was a little concerned on how the food would taste because everything on the menu is under $20.00, but it was delicious. Definitely recommending to all of my friends.

Great little restaurant in a vibrant downtown Arlington Hts.

We have been here four times with friends and have always had an enjoyable dining experience. The dark wood paneling provides a warm atmosphere for a romantic dinner or a gathering with friends The service is prompt and friendly. You really get the feeling they want you to become a regular. The food… if you like northern Italian dishes, which I do, you’ll appreciate the perfectly cooked pasta and sauces. My wife really enjoyed her veal and even though there is great variety in the menu I have had the lamb chops twice. They were great . I would love to find out what is in the sauce. It has to be more than just red wine and balsamic. If you like wine the ample list has some very good offerings. We are really glad to finally have quality restaurant in this location.

The staff is wonderful, like family. The lamb chops and duck were cooked perfectly. And wine suggestions were right on. This is a family friendly restaurant with excellent food and value. This is my new place.

Finally! A great place to have a wonderful meal before a show at the Metropolis. Authentic Italian cuisine with a French twist. The risottos are creamy and flavorful, the pasta done just right. We have not had a bad meal here yet and we've eaten here so often that Carlos knows us on sight. The service is just right, not intrusive but always there when we need something. (And we've seen the Mayor having dinner here every so often--even on her birthday. So you don't have to take my word that its great food.)
