Date night at Carciofi!
I had the rare opportunity to take my beautiful Bride of almost 30 years on a real date. She loves Italian, and we both prefer non-chain restaurants, so off to Prospect we went.
We were greeted by Khai and sat in a cozy corner for two. Great start for a date. He told us he was our bartender and waiter. I ordered an old fashioned and a water with lemon. My Bride was tired from travel and just got water.
We started with “Babette’s sourdough crunch” and house made balsamic. It came out warm, the center was soft and the crust was crunchy, perfect for dipping it in the balsamic.
For the main course we split a handmade “build your own” pasta. We chose the fettuccini with Cajun alfredo sauce topped with grilled chicken.
The chicken was cooked well, tender and moist. The heat on the Cajun was adjustable. My Bride chose medium. I asked for a little more heat in the side. The medium was more than spicy for her. I thought it was good too, but ended adding more heat to mine.
The pasta was tender and springy and almost melted in our mouth.
A slightly low and outside pitch would have been the old fashioned. It started flavorful and balanced, but the heavy use of machine ice watered it down too quickly. Not a deal-breaker, but purists may want to skip it.
We absolutely will be back!

I’ve been here twice on Sundays with my family. Their focus is pasta and it is without a doubt the BEST pasta I’ve had in a restaurant. The sauces are what make it so good. We each tried each others dishes and were impressed with how well each different type was.
I had shrimp scampi my first time and a lemon salmon my second time. Both were delicious mouth-popping dishes.
Great place to bring a date or enjoy great Italian with friends or family

Great meal at Carciofi in Prospect last night. Great cocktails, all pasta made in house, friendly and prompt service. Best Cacio e Pepe I’ve had in quite a while and my wife really enjoyed her Aglio e Olio Artichoke Pasta.
We had Honey Goat Cheese Schmear on French Bread and Smoked Salmon Bites to start. Both delicious. Tiramisu was light and fluffy! We enjoyed a nice bottle of Chianti Classico but would be nice to have another 10 items from Italy on the list.
Cute spot; will be back!

Our first time at Carciofi and we’ll certainly be back! Each course was just as excellent as what came before – from cocktails (Old Fashioned & Rob Ramsey) to appetizer (Queso de Cabra) to the Strawberry salad to main course (Butternut Squash Risotto & Spaghetti Al Nero) to dessert (tiramisu). So much on the menu still to try! Kyle is an amazing server and certainly added to our truly enjoyable experience. What a little gem of a place!!!

Small, intimate and delicious from appetizers to dessert. This place is our special spot for romantic dinners. The pasta is homemade, the sauces are unique, and the service is excellent. I recommend the smoked salmon cucumber appetizer, watermelon salad, the spicy red sauce and linguine for the main course, and the tiramisu to finish.

My husband and I came here for dinner to celebrate our anniversary. We loved everything about this restaurant. We had the Smoked Salmon Bites as our antipasti. These small bites of Cucumber and Salmon were so delicious and light, it was a great way to start the meal. We split the Caprese Salad which was amazing. A simple dish of sliced Mozzarella, Tomato, and Basil with Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar. It was the best Caprese I ever had. My husband had the Squid Ink pasta and I had the Spaghetti alle vongole (Spaghetti with clams), both dishes were phenomenal. We will definitely be returning here soon.

We were so looking forward to this evening, our first visit, to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Unfortunately the waiter we had was simply awful & downright rude.
The place was not busy yet he was oddly invisible; never checked in on us after our food arrived. I had an issue of concern with my pasta & waited for the waiter to finally be visible so that I could flag him down.
I quietly & discretely shared my concerns & he was not only immediately defensive, he was also insulting as well & condescending.
It was a simple misunderstanding, and yet he handled it most unprofessionally; enough so that we left the restaurant immediately, left my cold uneaten meal & our drinks on the table, he completely wrecked the mood.
It honestly wrecked our anniversary night which only comes around once a year & that we were looking forward to immensely.
And sadly it could have taken a completely different turn for the better if the waiter knew enough about basic etiquette and simply asked “how can I make this right?” with sincerity & kindness, instead of copping an attitude & being so unprofessional.
I tried to resolve this at the restaurant on site but this waiter was just so rude it made my husband and I most uncomfortable. For a bill that came to over $100 (which is a lot to us) I went home hungry & saddened by the entire experience.
Never again will we dine here, as there are too many restaurants at this level ($$$) that train their staff properly and who get it right.
I did email the restaurant off their website form & am eager to see their response. I do not believe that a private email is enough, and sharing my personal experience here might actually be helpful to other folks out there wanting a nice romantic special meal somewhere, to keep in mind that ours was ruined by one single waiter assigned to our table. (The other waiter at nearby tables was absolutely fabulously warm & friendly & professional).
It’s a crapshoot when dining out and we got the server who honestly didn’t give a hoot about making our evening or meal special, or righting his wrong, and as a result, he ruined it.
A huge thumbs down from us. We hope others find this review helpful. Give the place a try & see what you get, hopefully you’ll get the good server! It would have been an entirely different review if we had.

They put cheese in their marinara. Who does that? While they have 2 separate GF options (spiralized zucchini and banza pasta) your only option for a dairy free sauce is aglio e oglio. I paid way too much money for a plate of zucchini swimming in oil. The artichokes were tasty, but they forgot the mushrooms I asked for. An expensive, unsatisfying dinner. None of my table mates were super impressed with their meals either. A shame, really. Good cocktails, but the rest was super meh.

Carciofi is exactly what Prospect needed. It’s the perfect restaurant for a date-night or girls night. Last night we ordered the charcuterie board, smoked salmon bites, and house salad to-go and everything was 10/10! The charcuterie board is the perfect portion & a really great value for the price! Highly recommend
