Don't judge by the outside 2/17/2009

From the outside, Carini's looks pretty run down, but it's a good place to go for Italian food. I have always been there with a huge group, so I can't really judge what the normal service would be. They offer a wide variety of Italian foods and have a little banquet room in the back.\r They were kind enough to let our group play bagpipes (not the quietest instrument!) and dance in this room. more

My taste buds are in love 12/2/2008

Night after night my senses draw me back to the mouth watering delectables served at Carini. I know from past experience that service has been left to be desired but recently they have made important changes. Fresh faces mixed with a few old gives it a familiarity yet a newness. Also, the ability to please husband and wife as well as the kids ( considering the game room ), that doesn't happen everywhere. Try this deliciously satisfying restaurant, you'll be glad you did. Pros: ability to hold large parties, satisfy everyone in the family Cons: are there any? more

Consistantly good food 10/15/2008

My wife and I go often. The food is always good. The only problem I ever have is with slow service. Too many times we would be seated and wait for 10-15 minutes before being greeted by our server. Nonetheless, overall, this is a good restaurant. more

Party Party! 12/17/2007

We had my daughter's birthday here and was very impressed at how well the staff took care of us. The party went off without a hitch and everyone enjoyed the pizza. They also gave us a discount on the check! more

Authentic Italian with family aptmosphere 9/10/2007

Carnin's was recomended by a local hotel. My wife and I love authentic Italian restaurants and Carni's met all of our expectations. Service was superb, the aptmosphere was warm with a local charm, and the manager was welcoming. There were many choices for adults and young children. Food quality was extremely high and priced appropriately. Dinner at Carini's made our last evening on vacation most memorable. Pros: Ambience, food selection and quality more

FAMILY MEETING PLACE 8/8/2002

Having a family meeting here in the back room is wonderful. The kids can eat and then go to the game room while the adults discuss the issues. Plus having your meal served to you and not having to do the cleaning up is great too. Pros: Good parking, Convenient location, Excellent food/servic more

The East End's Best Kept Secret! 8/5/2002

Don't be fooled by the drab, outside appearance. This hole in the wall is actually transformed into a little piece of Italy. Not only is the food yummy and affordable, but the scenery (especially the hugh fountain and beautiful wall paintings) make for a truly enjoyable experience. Pros: Inexpensive, Yummy food, Great decor Cons: Hole in the wall, Drab location, Small more

All-Time Favorite 8/5/2002

I have been going to Carini's since I was a kid. They have wonderful Italian dishes and pizza. The salads are always fresh and their house dressing should be bottled! Prices are affordable for families and atmosphere is cozy. Service is prompt and friendly. Pros: food, service, pices more

Owner Message

  • Carin's represents the quintessential Horatio Alger American success story. Arriving in the U.S. in 1975, Giosue Joe Sanzone and wife, Rosalia, spoke little English and had few assets. The founding of Carini Italian Restaurant in 1978 symbolized their lifelong dream of business ownership based on an intuitive feeling that success would follow with a sufficient measure of hard work and patience. Today, Carini occupies more than 8, 000 sq. ft. and has 24 employees. The restaurant has become a fixture in Richmond East End dining. A second generation of Sanzones is also active in running the day to day affairs of the restaurant including daughters Cecilia and Maria. From our family to your family, the Sanzones bring you the best in Sicilian-Italian cuisine.

Editorial

  • Neighborhood Italian eatery serves two for one pizza, fresh pastas and calzones at affordable prices.
