Carino's Northern Italian Cuisine

If you ever say, "I just want a traditional, old school Italian meal with quality food and a great atmosphere", you found your place. It was my wife's birthday and she wanted to try this restaurant. It was fantastic. We made reservations nad requested a table out of the way so we could relax, talk and enjoy. They accommodated. Beth was our server and she was helpful and nice. She paced the dinner perfectly and we had an amazing time. A glass of cava to start, the stuffed portobello appetizer paired great with that. We moved to a bottle of Montepuciano D'Abruzzo and had a second appetizer of the meatballs and we added the sausage. Taste, texture, melt in your mouth joy, it was perfect. 2 veal dishes were entree slections; the Veal Carino with mushrooms and artichoke hearts and the classic Osso Bucco. Each a masterpiece I their own way. Being a birthday celebration they surprised us with fresh cream puffs drizzled with a dark chocolate sauce. Of course we had to have cappacino and Frangelico and espresso with Sambuca to cap it off. One of the best complete meal experiences ever for me. No question the best food we have had since we moved here over 3 years ago. We WILL be back sooner than later. There are many menu items we still need to try. All food scratch made. It shows. All food made with love; you can feel it. Thank you for a memorable experience and see you VERY soon!

Best dinner we have had in forever. WOW. Get a reservation and go! We ordered the bruschetta, veal shank, and the seabass. It will melt in your mouth. Let's talk about the service, The BEST. Attentive, nice and responsive. They also had a piano player tonight (Saturday night) and he was so sweet and just the best tone. We had the best night here for dinner and will definitely be back. I'm telling you, go eat here! You will not be disappointed.

Soooo disappointed ! Sat in the piano bar which is pretty cool but unfortunately the normal piano player was not there. Our server appeared to be jonesing for some type of substance and hovered over our table as we looked at the menu, she just seemed incoherent and had some odd tics. The mussels were ok, nothing spectacular. I had linguini with clams which was decent but there are so many other places to get very good linguini! She had veal parm. It was a nice sized portion but the texture wasn't right, maybe too much breading making it mushy? I don't know. The wine and bread were great but we'll never return.
