Carlucci's Grill Yardley

So my husband and myself were actually on our somewhere else to grab a pizza when we were stopped by a train right up the road. I was looking up places nearby to have dinner and Carlucci's came up on my search. We had never been there before. I checked the menu and told my hubby to pull a youey (you turn) and go to Carlucci's which is right up the road. We had no idea it was an actual restaurant but thought it was more of a small dine in pizza type of place with entree dishes. We walked in and were greeted immediately by a gentleman who had us seated quite quickly. I didn't know they had half table half booth, so I asked for that instead of the table we were being taken to, and they accommodated me without an issue. I immediately felt very cozy and the memories of my grandmoms kitchen came to mind instantly. I hear the waiter talking to a group next to us in Italian. There is Italian music playing overhead. It was so inviting. The same waiter (Sal) came and asked if we were ready to order. I asked for his help as we had never been there, and so many items on the menu sounded absolutely amazing. He helped us choose between two. We chose the Siciliano. It came with the choice of soup or salad. My hubby picked a squash soup, which he really enjoyed. I got a simple salad with balsalmic. We were already brought bread with a marinara sauce on it, which was really tasty. When they brought the soup and salad, they then brought a round garlic bread type of bread with tons of (locatelli) type cheese and oil it was amazing. They brought out the entrées....OMG!!! It had the most tender chicken and a perfect al dente pasta. The mushrooms and olives paired together with the artichokes made such a great tasting mix of deliciousness! Our waiter was super attentive. Our drinks were filled on the spot when empty. The manager or owner came around several times to ask how everything was, which I really liked. On to dessert, we got the Tartufo, which I'd never had before. It was so decadent and tasted so darn good! I have NOTHING but great things to say from our walk in to our walkout. From beginning to end, we thoroughly enjoyed every aspect. The food, staff, ambiance, cost ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING was spot on for us. We will most definitely be coming back! Mangia!!!🇮🇹
