After hearing about this place from several friends I took my wife here for her birthday. The staff were very professional and attentive but not overbearing.

My friends,
You have not idea how wonderful it feels that you had enjoyed, I know in my heart that is very difficult to please everyone, and I want you to know that at Carlos & Carlos we all try to do just that.
One of the most difficult things for an owner is not being there when people like...

My husband posted after eating here - the wine was good and we thought all was good until our daughter got sick from the food poisoning. Her meal was the only thing that had been different from the rest of the family. She had a flight to catch the next day and was sick on her flights home and needed...

Dearest customer,
From the very depth of my heart I lament that your experience at Carlos & Carlos was according to you this bad.
Believe me that it took me a while to compose myself and write this response, normally all the revues are wonderful, and very rare I have to reach from the bottom of my heart and write...

My lovely customers, having a bit of Italy here in Flamingo was a task, and adjusting our cuisine to local products was even more difficult, we are trying to keep our original recipes as just as we can, after reading your revue it give us the assurance that we are doing things right and we will continue doing so because...

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...

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.

Dearest friend,
I am so happy that you find us , and more happy that you shared with trip advisor your comments, I am so sad you never told us about your insatisfaction of the wine serving, we could it fix it right away.
I beg you to consider coming back and say hello so I know who you are...
