This restaurant is fairly good. They have really good specials that make for a great dinner at a very reasonable price. They run one special that has an appetizer, salad, steak and pasta for under $20. My main complaint is not having salt, pepper, sugar etc on the tables. Get that stuff on the tables like everywhere else. The service can also be good or slow. More attention to the tables is needed. Refill those beverages more. Patrons should never need to get up and find someone for a refill. Other than those issues this place will give you a decent meal at a decent price.

Our waitress was fast, efficient, and friendly! I was amazed at how she remembered our entire order for 3 people, plus drinks, and appetizers without writing anything down and got it all correct!! The food was delicious and plenty of it that we had to take the rest home. I think I enjoyed their menu a little more than the other place. It seems more authentic Italian to me.

We stopped by Carinos for the first time since the pandemic today and were not disappointed. Our server, Jessy, did an amazing job. I ordered steak and he noticed that it was not properly cooked and pointed it out to me. He made sure our food was good.

I didn’t take pictures, but I have to say at least this location needs a major face-lift. It looks and feels dingy and dated. It could be cleaner and it’s so loud in there. It’s like being in a dive bar with everyone talking super loud. Our waitress was super nice, and she took good care of us, brought us our food quickly, and answered any questions we had with a smile. The food was decent but could use some flavor. Tasted very plain. Again, the wait staff was excellent, the place just needs some TLC.

Overall service was good. It was late on a weekday so not very busy. The food was delicious best lasagna I’ve and had. very hot as it should be. I stress that because at another popular restaurant I’ve had my food served a few times not being hot enough. The only issue was. I had a hard time reading the menu. I guess the dimmed lighting makes it look cozy but lighting is too dimmed and makes it hard the menu. I also found the table top to be very sticky. I think its from the varnish and not that it was dirty but still found that a bit uncomfortable. Definitely recommend for good food and service.

10 of us arrived for a family get together. Our server was very inexperienced but tried to be helpful. Once we ordered and started to receive our meals, we had to ask for missing items (salad dressing, bread, butter, etc). The penne pasta with meat sauce was so overcooked, it broke into pieces when you tried to pick it up then was like mush in your mouth. The lasagna was decent. The hamburger and fries arrived lukewarm and the grilled chicken, supposedly hot off the grill wasn’t. For many of us, it was our 1st time here. We certainly wouldn’t recommend it.

We have visited twice while staying in Yuma and we sit at the bar. Food is totally awesome and the wait staff is great…no complaints at all! I’m sure we’ll be back before we leave this area. Too bad this franchise isn’t in our hometown of Pittsburgh, PA.

I really enjoyed my experience at Carino’s. The food is good and the complimentary bread with olive oil is generous and freshly baked is delicious and generous. The ambiance reminded me of the kind of genuine Italian restaurant of New York. I half expected to see Joe Pesci and Good Fellas walk in at any time. I jokingly checked the bottom of the table for microphones The 40s and 50s music just added to the ilusion of yesteryear. So different than Olive Garden across the street.
