Before you head over

Practical dining advice on bookings, parking, and ordering to get the best out of your visit to Carosello.

  • Book a Table in Advance

    With high demand during busy services, reserving a table ahead of time is recommended to guarantee your spot.

  • Plan for Limited Parking

    Street and local parking surrounding the venue is limited and tends to fill up quickly, so allow extra time to park.

  • Pace Your Ordering for Hearty Servings

    Entrées, pizzas, and mains come in very hearty portions, so consider sharing plates across the table and leaving room for dessert.
