Tonight’s dinner is a quick one due to my companion’s schedule. Carlino’s Market is located at 128 W. Market Street in West Chester, PA. For many of us “Foodies”, we go back to the days when Carlino’s only had one location in Ardmore. This market is drastically bigger than Ardmore and has probably about ten tables along with a side bar that they call their coffee bar. They are open in the evenings until 7:00 so one is still able to get something from the Market to sit and enjoy it if eaten early enough.
The nice thing about Carlino’s is the selection. They literally have everything! I wasn’t necessarily in the mood for Italian this evening since we had it several times in the last few days, but this is not a problem at Carlino’s. I chose to have a sandwich freshly made from the deli area of the market. My sandwich was roast beef, turkey and provolone cheese with tomato on white bread. I did opt for some brown mustard along with a little bit of mayonnaise. This sandwich was a nice size and tasted very good. The sandwich was $6.99. The roast beef was done perfectly and had the nice pink color leaning towards rare that many of us look for in our Jewish deli’s when ordering.
My dining companion chose to have a small personal plain cheese pizza made for him. I did have a taste and it was done to perfection in the Carlino’s brick style oven. This is a true thin crusted Italian pizza with a lot of flavor! The pizza had an abundance of cheese (almost too much) and is well priced at $5.95.
The beauty about a place like Carlino’s is that they have something to fit almost any palate at reasonable prices. The dining area is a bit cluttered with the tables and it could be a few degrees warmer because we visited on a thirty degree night and felt it when eating.
Our meal with 2 beverages was $15.99—no tip since you are serving yourself! This is a nice budget busting place for dinner and is one to consider when in the West Chester area.
