Very nice Italian place. Nice looking restaraunt, very clean, great service! We had calamarie and goat cheese croquettes to start, very yummy! The black pasta and risotto for our main corse. Finished with lava cake for dessert! They also give you fresh bread with flavoured compound butters (sundried tomato, garlic, Parmesan). They will also pick you up at your hotel...

We had great service and the food was bursting with flavor with every bite! My wife had the "Black Pasta" and I had a Veal dish and they were both outstanding...I ended up finishing hers! We were thinking about desert and the waiter knew we were on an anniversary trip and they brought a free coconut flan...that was as they...

The food was great, we had a group of 8 so got our own air-conditioned room. The service was attentive, they even came and picked us up from our home rental!

Great pasta and fresh seafood. They picked us up and took us back to our hotel, Flamingo Beach Resort, for no charge.

We just spent eight wonderful days vacationing in the Playa Flamingo are of Costa Rica. We chose Carlos and Carlos based on some reviews that I had read. It didn’t disappoint. A lot of the restaurants in that area serve up similar cuisine of fresh fish, rice and beans, etc. That’s great since it is nice to eat local, but...

We chose this venue because it was near our condo. The wine servings are a bit small, but the food was awesome. I've never tried squid ink pasta - it was great! Shrimp were perfect and the service was prompt. We'll be back.

I had the black squid ink spaghetti and it was superb. My friend had roasted duck and she loved it. Nice decor, good service. A bit out of the way, you need a car to get to it.

My husband and I were finishing a two-week visit in Costa Rica and our last stop was Playa Flamingo. We'd read about Carlos & Carlos, and it sounded great. Why not?
The restaurant is truly a delight and easy to find on the main drag between Playa Flamingo and Brasilito. The parking lot is always full, which is a good...

My dearest friend and customer,
I had been blessed and from the time I open the first Carlos & Carlos in Chicago in 1985, until the day before this writting I had received wonderful comments and wishes above any expectation.
When I read your comments I sat by myself and did a little crying, I am Spanish and normally we...

Best restaurant - high quality, excellent, attentive service. We ordered their Wednesday evening specials which were excellent and reasonably priced. The other menu items were very pricy.
