Carini's Pizzaria Trattoria

The best pizza and calamari in our area!! Service, menu, great wine, best service!! Love this restaurant, wait staff, chef and atmosphere

Very good food horrible service. Waited an hour for our food. The waiter was obvious lost and it was only half full of customers.Had to remind waiter after 15 minutes to take our order. Had to get up to get containers and got up again to pay bill. Try Nino in Fort Myers instead. Will not go back!!

My wife and I were celebrating our 45th Wedding Anniversary and wanted to eat out in a nearby restaurant. My wife's hairdresser Staten Island had that morning recommended Carini's Restaurant which was a short drive away. She indicated that the place was family owned and served solid Italian food. . My dear wife and I moved to SW Florida a year ago from Philadelphia and Brooklyn and have been dreadfully missing well made Italian food. So, what the heck; we decided on Carini's, and the rest is all good. We were greeted at the door by a distinguished gentleman Mr. Rinaldi who works for the son owner and is from Naples, Italy. Turns out that he is also the waiter, server, Sommelier, and check presenter and does it all with charm and aplomb. So, then to the Food: Best Garlic Cheese bread I have eaten in years bubbling hot and served with a bubbling hot and delicious marinara sauce delicious! Entrees were Spaghetti Bolognese and Rigatoni with Broccoli Rabe and Sausage. Both dishes were professionally prepared and delicious to boot. The portions were generous and we took some home with us for the next day. Dessert was a Limoncello Cake that we both shared also delicious. Expresso with a nice cover of crema. So, after a year in the Italian food desert, we have found an Oasis and intend to return; so many good dishes and pizza per noi da mangiare.

We had not visited Carini's since our last trip to Florida in 2019, but we found it to be even better in 2022. The service was friendly and quick, and the food was delicious. We will definitely be coming back to Carini's.

Great pizza and pasta for a very reasonable price. Stone oven high quality food. Great wait staff as well.
