 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I love carinis. They’re my go to but today they went above and beyond. I ordered DoorDash and the dasher brought me the wrong order and I was unable to reach him once he left. I called them to try and figure out a solution and within minutes they had a staff member drive it out to me. Amazing service

The food is very good, and the service is always with a smile! They have a full bar, pizza and pasta dishes. We tried the white pizza with ricotta, and another with garlic. We also ordered fettuccine alfredo with chicken. It was so good with generous portions. The atmosphere is warm and cozy.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Decorated for Valentines Day, the atmosphere was romantically fun. My husband and I didn't have reservations but luckily, we were early enough that we walked right in and were seated immediately. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and pleasant. We placed our order and before long, our food was before us. The calamari was lightly breaded and quite tasty. My white pizza was delicious! The hubby got a fettuccine with pesto sauce and he said he really liked it. On our way out, there was a line to get in so this place must be quite popular. I know that I'll definitely go back!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have loved this place for years—nothing too fancy which is what we want when we go in there—love their pizza crust— love the interior design of the place—love the murals and the neon signs; I hope they never change it…owned by a wonderful family. A great local business to support. RIP Joe🏆🙏🏼
