Had my first meal there. I had the prime rib and it was amazing. They give large portions,, the service was great and their prices were reasonable. I also love that is. BYOB. Can't wait to go back!!

Drove by The Crest Tavern... crowded. Kept driving about a mile further south was this nice little Italian restaurant! Carini's! An absolute gem, the service was spot on! Within a minute of sitting down at our table, our server arrived, introduced herself and described a perfect meal as the special. It's a byob but you can get a bottle of wine with your meal! Although it was busy, we felt like we had our servers attention the entire time!

Other than limited parking, this is one of the best Italian restaurants I've ever been to. Great food portions enough to feed two people superior service without being too expensive.
