Not Impressed

VERY loud restaurant. Difficult to carry on a conversation in here. Food is alright but definately not authentic italian food. I reccomend Ginos italian food over this.

Never been disappointed here

We have eaten here several times and never been disappointed. They offer family meals, which for us has actually fed more than the menu listed. Their Sicilian Fire Sticks appetizer is the bomb! We order it...

worst ever Italian Food. EVER

It was like cafeteria Italian.Red sauce tasted like it came out of a no brand jar.The Marcella looked like yellow glue and tasted nothing like Marcella or anything else I had ever tasted .I have looked at the reviews seems like 2002 was a good year.

I was surprised since I don't usually enjoy chain restaurants. The food was good and the wait staff attentive. Everyone seemed to enjoy their entrees--mine came out a little late but worth the wait and the...

Avoid at all costs!

Brodie, BAD Service

I have tried Carino's 3 times now hoping for better service. I always leave dissapointed. The wait staff is rude and lazy. There is no reason why an inexpensive resturant has to have such a poor wait staff.
