   Interesting place. Good food, sat at the bar took 35 minutes to get warm olive appetizer and additional 10 minutes for our pizza. They ran out of lemons on a Saturday night at 6:30pm. The bartender was very nice and did her best. I don’t see them being in business long but I could be wrong.

   The food was tremendous. I had the best Chicken Parmigiana I’ve ever had. The sauce was delicious. Their menu includes different types of pastas not of the usual variety. The service was attentive but not obtrusive. The dining area isn’t large but definitely cozy. Though the lighting was intimate they have the cutest little table lamps to aid in reading the menus. We also appreciated that our waiter offered a taste of a wine that was questioned and we weren’t familiar with. All in all, the 3 of us totally enjoyed our meal and ambiance, and we would all definitely return!

   Our host was amazing, from the moment we walked in the door. He told us about meals, happy hour, and drinks and helped us to decide what would be best for us. We will for sure be back as the experience was excellent!

   The food is always amazing. Lots of gluten-free options. Joey behind the bar is very friendly and gives excellent service. We love it!

   Chicken parm was delicious although the pasta noodles were undercooked.

   Don't waste your time. The folks that own this restaurant don't have the first idea of how a restaurant should operate. This was a wine bar for many years, and they recently added a kitchen. I made the reservation a week in advance. Upon arrival I was placed on the opposite side of the dining area in front of an exit door. Obviously, the table was an after thought. When I asked to be moved to a table that was available in the dining area I was told no because that was a reservation, and we plot all out tables ahead. A simple switch was not possible for some reason. Once sat the table was not set up. No placemats, no S+P, silverware etc. It took the server 11 minutes to approach us. Once she did, she attempted to take our entire order with the drink order. We explained that we wanted to enjoy a drink first and we would start with a shrimp cocktail. Shrimp cocktail was delivered quickly. we finished the S/C still no drinks. Drinks showed up and one of them was wrong. The next drink we ordered was also wrong. Had a 7:15 reservation at 9pm we still did not have our meals. Asked for ketchup for my fries and was told they were out. meanwhile the table I wanted to switch to was sat and finished before we got our meal. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY.

   Enjoyed an excellent meal at Carpe Rici recently. We ordered the following items: Charcuterie, Wedge Salad, Chicken Parmesan, Cod, Strip Steak and Salmon. All dishes were prepared very well and tasted great. Service was very attentive as well. We will be back!

    Nice place, cozy and inviting. A little pricey though.
