    A charming mom-and-pop shop, we originally came in for their desserts but were seriously tempted by the smell of their pizza. It's a small spot with a few tables out front, perfect for a casual treat. The desserts were absolutely delicious. We tried their tiramisu and cannolis, and both were phenomenal, especially for the price. The staff was super friendly and gave us great suggestions on what to order. What a little gem!

    Ordered online and said it would be ready for pickup by 6:27 pm but it was actually ready at 6:45pm so the website should give more accurate pickup time. The pizza was okay, the crust is super doughy+ pale and the pizza was thin. Did not taste or see any white sauce on the pizza like it should have. The pasta needs a lot more sauce on the pasta it was $19.50 but not worth it. The picture of the pasta looks good only because the cheese on top. Once I got in there there was barely any sauce. Specifically asked for utensils and napkins but did not get any.

    Finding a place to eat in downtown Carlisle on a Monday evening is harder the you'd think, and so we honestly stumbled on Nonna Ilva. I'm glad we did, because I was very impressed with the quality and the atmosphere. The food was delicious and reasonably priced for the portion sizes. My calzone was gigantic and PACKED with meats and cheeses (I think I'll go with one of their appetizer mini calzones next time) and the large cheese pizza provided more than enough for my wife and three kids. Also a the gelato is home made and WOW it's worth it! We had chocolate and it was out of this world! Don't get me wrong - I love Rita's, but this is on a whole other level! The staff was very friendly - the guy who took our order was super personable, asked questions, and said he tries to remember everyone local who comes through. It's mostly outdoor seating with only a couple of seats inside, but that worked out perfect for us! Highly recommend!

    We have passed Nonna Ilva's and wanted to try it. They have many options on the menu including pizza, salads, panini, rice balls, and desserts. They have canned soda including Diet Coke. We tried a large cheese pizza. It was delicious! The crust is thin and was easier for me to eat when I folded it over. There are two bar type shelves inside with stools for eating as well as several tables outside. There is street parking. Many people came through while we were waiting for our pizza to pick up takeout orders. I will definitely go back to try other items on the menu.

    One of the best pizzas I have had in many years. Carlisle has many pizza places, but they are often mediocre yet popular. Local opinion is often a bit insular and bland. My reference points are the superb pizzas in NJ/NY/CT that are memorable for high quality and flavor. The pizza I ordered had homemade Italian sausage on it and mushrooms that didn't come out of a can. The sauce, cheese, and dough (crust) were amazing. I highly recommend this restaurant to those who really appreciate a great pizza.

    We had a terrific cheese pizza with sautéed onions that was delicious; the rich, gorgonzola salad was also wonderful.

    Randomly looking for a new place to eat yesterday, we came upon Marcello's Ristorante, Pizzeria, &…read moreCatering in Carlisle. It was absolutely amazing. Best Chicken Parm I've ever had anywhere. Everything is made to order, and you definitely taste it. Garlic bread is pulled from the oven for the table, which is great. My "side" of Fettuccine Alfredo was amazing and more like a main course since there was so much. We can't believe we've never been here before, but will definitely be at the top of the rotation now. Amazing.

    I really enjoyed the food from here! The lobster ravioli is very very good! Very large portions! I…read moreordered a medium stuffed pizza, and I can't imagine what the large looks like! It is huge! I also ordered the breaded mushrooms and it would've fed 3 people! How are they making money with portions this big! The service was top notch also! I can't handle spicy food, not even pepperoni, and I have a hard time speaking some times because I had a full laryngectomy but the young lady at the counter was very kind and patient with me, and helped me find some substitutes and they didn't charge me anything extra! The place had a nice vibe going on, everyone in the kitchen was busy, but all seemed to be enjoying what they did! I'd highly recommend this place if you're looking for top notch Italian cuisine! Very tasty!
