What People's Say About Place

I wish I remember our waitress name. She was very polite and patient with us. It was our 1st time going so we were a bit indecisive but she helped us decide on a couple dishes. Food was a 100/10. The watermelon margarita AMAZING. Will definitely be returning. We went on a Friday night and there was no wait, food came fast and the waitress even brought me ice cream for my birthday.

Service is always great, if you go at the right time you can get seated immediately. The staff is very friendly. I love the jalapeño tilapia with angel hair noodles (you have to ask for angel hair because it now comes with a thicker noodles). It always taste the same no matter when I come. The watermelon margarita was absolutely delicious. If you have not tried it you should.

Our server was Daniel and was very attentive. He made sure we were always taken care of. I got the grilled chicken bow tie festival and it was delicious as always.

Great place to eat. Food was good and plentiful. Or waitress couldn't have be any better. The one and only issue was the seat I was in had lost most of the padding. I could feel the frame in my backside. I let the waitress know but I'm sure the restaurant management won't but fixing it real soon. Really though it was a wonderful experience.

Love me some carino's even though they took the timbalo off the menu they'll still make it for you, my all time fav Italian dish. Service has always been fenominal and they run daily specials. Had the pepperoni pizza and wings, half price!! Had left over wings for lunch next day, cant beat it

Good service, generous portions and decent food. We were seated and served quickly. The restaurant was not crowded on an early Friday evening. The house salad was underwhelming, the bread was quite nice, the lasagna was delicious and the linguini pasta with marinara and meatballs was just okay. In general, the price is a little high for the quality of the food and the dining experience.

The food was excellent! There were 16 of us and everyone was satisfied. I had the lasagna which melt in your mouth! Our server, Tameka, did a great job getting food and drinks to us. Everyone I talked to that worked there was very friendly and helpful. I am definitely going back!!

Had a great meal. First time here, truly loved it. Had the lasagna myself . The wife had the Timballo combo she loved it, and had to take some home. The waitress Alexis-R was great and loved her job, which makes a big difference. And whatever you do don't miss out on the stuffed mushroom appetizer.
