A group of nine, we had many dishes. Salads, pasta, chicken parmesan, lasagna, calzone. We all enjoyed our food and very good service immensely. A good solid choice for traditional, tasty italian food.

They do great fresh Italian meals and the reasonable prices are just icing on the cake. The pizza's and veal dishes are excellent. We are Italian, and this is where we go to eat. The sauces are not as sweet as American style is. The atmosphere is friendly and family style. Love the deserts as well.

It had been a while since I had gone to Carini's because the wait staff, the food, and the decor had become very below par through the years. This time, I found the decor refreshingly updated, the wait staff, attentive, and the food to rival my favorite Italian restaurant. In fact, my husband and I enjoyed it so much, I... More

My wife and I were driving from Savannah GA back to Maine and stayed a night near this restaurant. We didn't feel like eating at a mall, so we looked on trip advisor. Good thing we did - instead of driving 5 minutes toward the mall and all of the chain restaurants, we drove 5 minutes the other direction and... More

Can't say enough about this place for classic Italian food. The service was great, the food delicious and the price seemed to be from a different era. The portions are large, so the two of us wisely split one of the pasta dishes. My wife had a salad and I had the pasta e fagioli as appetizers. This is a... More

Server was so friendly, efficient and experienced. Food is plentiful, absolutely delicious, and very well priced. Location is quite convenient to airport hotels, but other diners appeared more like locals than travelers. This is a casual place, a throwback to the 70's or 80's. Got a kick out of the paper placemats featuring local ads -- particularly the ad for... More

Visited twice for lunch in January and February 2013. Have driven by this place thousands of times over the last 30 years and have never eaten there. What a surprise. Great decor and service. Food was good and value priced. Will be going there for lunch again in the next few weeks.

This was the best Italian cuisine I have had in a long time. I had the lasagna and it was excellent. I also ordered a side salad and the meal came with bread. They were average. The dressing was high quality. The lasagna meat sauce and main course made up for the plain bread by a few dips. The restaurant... More
