Cucina Carini

There must be a lot of fake accounts that rate this place. Because I don’t understand how they could be four stars.

I’ve been to this location a total of two times. The first time I ordered a pizza off of Slice and they totally screwed up my order. I asked for a specific type of pizza and get the exact opposite. I walked back in and told the people that they messed up on my order. The guy with black hair at the front counter argue with me and told me I was a liar. I opened the Slice app and showed him where I ordered the pizza. The young girl at the counter spoke up and said yes, she screwed up whenever she input the order. Needless to say, I walked out of there with the wrong pizza because they would not remake it. They did not have time.

The second time, 6 December, I walked in there at 8:30. All of the workers just looked at me and my significant other at the podium. They did not walk over. They did not come over and ask us to be seated. After 10 minutes, I walked out of the restaurant.

Needless to say, I will not be back to this location. I don’t understand the people who own this either. They allow this type of behavior from their workers. You should be ashamed of yourself for owning this Restaurant.

When you live close....you forget the local gems. This is one. Main dining room nice spacious. Outdoor dining in better weather.
BYOB Appetizers of Clams Casino and Fried Tomatoes were terrific. Entrees of Salmon, Seafood over Pasta and Chicken with Prosciutto were hot plentiful and great flavor. Hot bread basket addicting!

Another wonderful meal was had by all at our table. Such a quaint restaurant that never disappoints.

What a gem of a find! Our meals were great and what a cute spot. Yes they have pizza takeout but the restaurant side is fantastic and interesting. Great food.

It was our first time there. The parking lot is not big and you really need a reservation. The place is very cute and the food is good. I got veal and shrimp francese, but I would have preferred parmigiana ( wish I had asked). My husband got veal parmigiana.....the meat was very tender and the portion satisfying. We would definitely go back. You can bring your own bottle too.

We had a luncheon after my Mom's funeral. It was wonderful. Food was delicious. Highly recommend.

We have been here many times and it has always been great. The ambiance, food, service are all top notch. Highly recommend and love that it is a local restaurant.

Pretty dining room, friendly waitress, , parking lot was full but the dining room was pretty empty. The food was disappointing, portions were ridiculously small. Left hungry, spent too much, Won’t be going back

Dear Paula and Anthony on behalf of the Brooks family I would like to thank so much for the amazing luncheon today for my father Harry Brooks celebration of his life.

I had no issue getting a reservation. The staff greeted us warmly. The waitress was great. She had a pleasant and funny demeaner and you could tell that she's been doing this for a while and was good with our back and forth banter. The menu was great. We started off with Long Hots, but they weren't. You either get a good batch or a bad batch (meaning Hot or Not) These were tasty, but had no heat. The Escarole and Bean soup left a lot to be desired, was primarily tasteless. The Ceasar Salad definately made up for the soup., The salad was fresh, crisp and the dressing was perfect. I had the veal (Requested Long Hots be added, which they did) but again, No Heat. The veal was tender and it was a good proportion and tasty. I forgot to ask for cappaleni and wound up with spagetthi, but it was done to perfection. My wife had the Eggplant Rollatini and it was great also. Overall, it was a good experience and I will definately be going back.

I wish I could be more positive about this visit, as I have had dinner here in the past and loved it, so I recommended it for lunch this week with a couple of friends. Bad decision.

We were the only party in the place, but our server was MIA most of the time. We could see her on her phone.

One of my friends was limited for time and hoped for a dish that would be quick. So she ordered a cheesesteak with provolone instead of American cheese, and was told at first that American cheese was the only option, but in the end, she was allowed to substitute. Her cheesesteak arrived on a roll that was so cold it appeared to have been frozen.

I wanted veal, which is on the dinner menu, but not lunch, because at my previous meals there it was so good. I was able to get a lunch portion. This time it was awful, very dry, almost burnt around the edges, and tasted freezer burned. The broccoli rabe was so tough that I could barely cut through it.

I don't know why this whole lunch experience was so bad compared to the dinners I'd had there.

I might give Cucina Carini a try for dinner again some day, though definitely not for lunch. However, I doubt my friends will ever be back.

Fettuccine Alfredo came out like milk and had no flavor. I think they knew it and came out with it like that anyway. Had to send it back it was so bad.

I will definitely go back. Excellent food and service!
