| - I wanted to love this place especially because it is close to my home and we love local Restaurants.Also,the concept of a Deli set up which is supposed to be like DeFalco's in Scottsdale. This is the first time I ordered at Carlo & Emilie's and had it as take out. I ordered for 6 people and unfortunately we did not like the food. Perhaps they were having a bad day. My elderly dad had their Meatball Sandwich and the bread was very soggy,and very difficult to eat. He did like the meatballs as I tried it also and they were good,not great,but good. My mom got their Pastrami Sandwich which was good. My wife tried their Meat Lasagna and it tasted a little like Chef Boyardee. I had the Chicken Parm Sandwich and it too was soggy and very hard to eat. The chicken itself had an odd taste for which I couldn't eat it. My daughter had their Mascarpone Cheese Butternut Squash Ravioli and was suppose to get the Fresh Sage Sauce with it. Unfortunately it wasn't on it. So it was a bit dry. My daughters Boyfriend had their Meat Tortellini which he liked, Then for dessert we all had a Cannoli which was good,not great but good. I really wanted to like their food,but it was disappointing to all of us. I do wish them well and since there are good reviews,perhaps many like the food,but to us,it wasn't very good.A few were better than others,and that is why I gave it a 3 star. I might try it again to see if it gets better. I do hope so..
