I am a journalist, not a restaurant reviewer, and I love good food and great service.
From time to time, I go with good friends to eat at a new restaurant.
This time, my friend chose an Italian restaurant in Prague’s Old Town, by the Jewish museum, called “Casa de Carli”.
It is a family-run Italian restaurant that opened in 2012. From 2021, it’s been a part of the Michelin guide, though I only found this information out just now, when writing this article. When I arrived there, all I knew was the name and the address.
My first impression was good: a beautiful, clean, and warm design, with a high ceiling. I was welcomed by the host with a great smile, which made me feel more comfortable.
Now, let’s speak about the food:
As a primi / antipasti, I chose the pan-seared foie gras, while my friend had the artichoke with avocado.
As the main dish, I choose the sea bass filet, and my friend ordered the baked turbot fillet in crust.
I could not miss out on the “Dolce” – we ordered 2 kinds to share. A traditional tiramisu – made in front of you, and the smoked Cuban cigar. (watch the video).
The foie gras was divine. It took me back to our visit to France a few years ago. My friend loved the artichoke with avocado.
I found the sea bass very tasty, and my friend described her baked turbot fillet in crust as “divine”.
We shared the “dolce”. The tiramisu (freshly-made in front of us) was great, we could really taste the fresh coffee. Probably one of the best we have ever had. The smoked Cuban cigar had a special presentation, and was tasty
Watch the video and the pictures of our menu (different than on their website – https://www.casadecarli.cz/en/)
Unfortunately, I cannot electronically share the great taste…
