Carlos Restaurant

Having bein in Doncaster quite a few times and with most places doing Carvery’s on a Sunday at lunch time I tend to go looking for proper dinner on a sunday night.
I like a good italian and happened across this lovely place. The restaurant itself looks really nice — not just thrown together.
The staff can be a bit of an unusual group, more from watching them than them serving me. But once my food comes quick and is nice then I am happy.
And the food is great, the kind where I was using every last bit of my chicken and pasta to get the sauce off the plate. They have a great selection on the menu and, I think, are a decent price.

Wouldn’t eat here again. Over rated and overpriced used to be good many years ago. Staff were quite rude too!

Food was decent, quite expensive for an average restaurant but was served promptly and the waiting staff were helpful and polite throughout.
The lady who was at the bar though sorting out our bill however was extremely rude. It was quite busy (although not completely full) and we simply inquired as to whether it was possible to split the bill and pay for our own parts. To which she immediately and quite aggressively stated «can’t you see how busy I am!».
We went upstairs to complain and was then informed that she was in fact the manager of the restaurant.
The rest of the staff were perfectly fine, but she was an arrogant unhelpful person, especially when that was the only thing we had asked her the entire night we were there. If only she could take a lesson or two from the rest of her staff on customer management, as I’m sure she’d be the first to pull one of them up if they were as rude as she was!

Five of us enjoyed our meal in the basement eating area of this establishment. Lobster ravioli starter was good and was available as a main too. Main courses were ribeye steak alla Gorgonzola — the steak had quite a bit of gristle in. Lamb shank was nice but a bit too overcooked. Duck and stuffed chicken breasts also very tasty. We had no dessert but enjoyed a digestivo of Grappa (they have 4 types) and Limoncello. We had no wine with the meal, just two rounds of mixed drinks. The total was £140 which I thought was very pricey for what it was. A very pleasant restaurant with friendly, knowledgeable staff. The food was ok but not worth that much. I will come again though

I love Carlo’s — it’s only a small restaurant but always a really good atmosphere and the foods great. The staff are always friendly and go out of their way to make you enjoy your visit. There is a good menu choice and it’s well priced too. There is always a specials board, and do not miss the hot pancakes for desert! Good sized portions. Only downside is that the tables tend to be fairly close together.

This is an excellent place to go for work nights out, christmas dinners ect, It has a really happy, fun feeling vibe to the place, There meals really are made to the highest of standards and they often have good promotions on aswell. The staff are all friendly and can have a laugh with you, Iv been here a few times and always had a great time
