Carlo's Independent Italian Restaurant

Update May 2025 Its still as good as ever, best pizzeria in Haslemere with a warm and friendly welcome from Carlo - highly recommended Fantastic authentic Italian food , great cafe and pizzeria, so much better than the chains. Very reasonable priced Friendly and welcoming staff, well worth a visit .

Can't comment on what it's like to dine in but do not recommend for take away or collection. Our main gripe is with the lasagne which was presented poorly and didn't taste great. And considering this was £15 the portion size wasnt great either. Tasted similar to a ready meal you'd get from a supermarket and looked like it too. The pizza I had was okay and the starters we ordered were fine. Considering this cost us close to £50 there are other Italian restaurants which are so much better for a similar price. Disappointed

Overpriced ££££ !!! 1 Flat white, 1 black coffee ☕️ ☕️ & a 1 piece of "out of a box" Daim chocolate cake for over £15 ! All coffees are one price ... & any cake is £8 Selected because it was meant to be authentic, in a sunny spot & looked a little less busy than the main street in Haslemere. After getting the bill the only aspect we got was some very authentic pricing. My fault should have checked the prices before sitting down. Will definitely be trying the very busy Hemmingways next time, on the main road, where pricing and food looks amazing. Next time.

I've been coming to Carlo since it opened, and the biggest reason is, well, Carlo. He exudes the relaxed, friendly, inviting air of Italy itself, and every visit to his eponymous restaurant – soon to be plural, with the imminent opening of a second Surrey location in Great Bookham – feels like a visit to my Italian grandparents'. From my morning coffee and cannoli to a great evening glass of Barolo with my lasagna, Carlo is simply a taste of the best of Italy.

Lovely evening meal tonight. Fabulous food and service. The Tagliatelle Courgette Gamberetti was to die for!! Best Italian food in town!

We stoped in on the off chance they had a table, they managed to squeeze us in as we didn’t have long. The food did not disappoint ! Hands down the best pizza I have had. We had two pizza and a carbonara between the three os us and all agreed the food was great. Reasonable prices certainly for the level the food is. My only gripe and it is small gripe and personal preference being only a small place it does feel a little cramped almost sharing a table with the one next to you. But don’t let this put you off. We will definitely visit again. Grazie

We booked a table for Valentines Day yesterday and it was lovely! Carlo is so polite and warm and welcoming and made us feel special. The food was delicious as always... thanks guys!
