on Citysearch Nov 08, 2008VERY 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. (more)

on Citysearch Oct 02, 2008We 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 every time... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 15, 2006<b>In Short</b><br>If you don't mind a little noise, the casual, open-kitchen setting, replete with faux-rustic stone walls, wooden peasant-style seating and piped-in Sinatra nicely sets the tone for a broad,... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 11, 2003There was not a single thing interesting or inspiring about the food or service. I wouldn't say the food was bad, but there was just nothing here to set it apart. And it's a shame this website allows such blatant... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 07, 2003I 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.... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 06, 2002Maybe it's because it's newly opened (620 & Anderson Mill), but this Carino's doesn't have it's act together yet. All the courses came out at the same time, and while just starting the entree, the waitress is shoving... (more)
