I’ve been coming here for about 3 years approx. and I’ve noticed some changes in the food. I always order the same thing, Carolina’s trio, and unfortunately the lasagna is too dry now, it only has a little bit of the marinara sauce on top and that’s it, and the raviolis used to be big and now they’re small and they taste like the can sauce from the supermarket. Also another thing I noticed is that the straws for the drinks, break so easily! Although the staff was super nice, my son and I love this place,it’s so warming , it’s just that there has been changes in the food unfortunately

You are better off getting a frozen Digiorno Rising Crust pizza from your local grocery store.
I ordered 2 pies, 1 topping each pizza for delivery. With tip provided, the total some was $40.
It was beyond underwhelming. It was Like eating thick fluffy dough with pizza ingredients sprinkled on the surface. The Garlic Parmesan Oil that they charged us for was a 5 oz cup of cooking oil grease.
The taste and experience was extremely disappointing for the price.

We ordered food from here on an app that is supposed to help food waste. They took it as a way to dump their garbage on people. They gave us crap that wasn't even on their menu. They gave us chili beans that were garbage and something that might have been vegetable lasagna. There were literally 2 tiny slices of zucchini and 3 pieces of red onion. There was a decent amount of ricotta but that was covered in their trash red sauce. Pretty pathetic.

Came here specifically for pizza. As a pizza lover I was highly disappointed. a pizza is nothing without a good sauce and cheese unfortunately this tasted like elementary school pizza with a weird after taste.

Good food! The portions were huge—I got super full and still had plenty left over. I ordered the trio, and it was great. The only downside is they don’t allow any substitutions, which was a little disappointing, but not a deal-breaker. The garlic knots were basically just bread without much garlic flavor, so I’d honestly stick with the free bread they bring to the table. Overall, I’d definitely come back.

Best Italian restaurant around. Lasagna is so good. Family meals on Wednesday are cheap and they give you a lot of food. Five Stars.

We ordered a meal for delivery from this restaurant and If they allowed for a lower rating I would happily use it. We ordered a relatively large meal for our family which included, the sampler, spaghetti and meatballs, Salmon salad, garlic knots, and chicken fettuccine Alfredo. Ill start with the positive, the food was delicered in a timely manner and the wings were decent. Now the negative, There were so many things wrong with out order. The fettuccine was watery and had no seasoning, and unfortunately tasted like it came from a can. The sampler was a hair away from burnt, and the garlic knots had some melted butter but no garlic or parmesan so pretty much tasteless. My son ate some of the spaghetti but nobody could stomach the meatballs. The salmon salad looked nothing like the picture on the website and was mostly the whiter end pieces of iceberg lettuce and a lot of chopped tomatoes.I try to be a upstanding citizen and called the restaurant to report the issues and bring back the food in case they thought we were trying to scam them. Unfortunately even though the supervisor was nice, the only thing they would offer was to remake the food which after all that went wrong we had no interest in. We would have even accepted a partial refund and driving the food back to the restaurant. I cannot recommend this restaurant and will not order from here ever again.

Overall we all (4) disappointed last night. I had ordered salmon and Broccoli because I cannot have pasta. The salmon was good and the broccoli was fixed just like I ordered. We ordered calamari for an appetizer. It should never have left the kitchen. It was beyond over done. Like eating a fried crouton. We sent it back and replaced with a better batch. Everyone else ordered a pasta dish. Linguine and clams but were told this was a different linguine. No it was spaghetti noodles. I was wondering if there was new chefs or owners because in the past it was excellent. Our waiter spoke little English and was very hard to understand. It was my husband’s birthday and they did sing to him and the entire room did too so that was very special.
Hoping next time is back to excellent.

Support local business... especially when they go above and beyond like Carolina's. The specials are always a great deal, ready when I get there (even when I'm early) And everyone is always happy to see you. Buy some beers, sangria, or desserts when you pick up a Wed special; because I swear they can't be making money on that deal!
