My first time there. Ordered for lunch the special, 2 slices of pizza with a drink. The pizza was totally fresh. Delicious! A little overpriced just like everything else these days. Definitely would recommend.

You can tell the minute you walk in that A Carini's is an authentic Italian establishment. During various parts of the day, there are single slices pizza to purchase for a quick meal. Pasta is made to order. The real star on the menu is the home made cheesecake that you can order to finish off your meal.

Totally awesome experience. I'm gluten intolerant and they have numerous gf choices. Totally delicious. The waitstaff friendly, attentive and a pleasure to interact with. Totally enjoyed the experience as did the rest of my family.

Hands down one of the best Italian meals I’ve had in a long time! The Classic Margherita Pizza was incredible — fresh plum tomatoes, creamy ricotta, basil, and garlic all came together perfectly on a crisp crust. You can really taste the quality ingredients and care that goes into it. The breadsticks were warm, buttery, and loaded with garlic flavor — and that homemade marinara sauce for dipping? Absolutely delicious! The Caprese Salad was light and refreshing, with perfectly ripe tomatoes, soft mozzarella, and just the right drizzle of olive oil and balsamic. The spaghetti with fresh marinara was simple and comforting, like an old family recipe — the sauce was full of flavor without being heavy. And let’s talk about Mom’s Cheesecake — wow! Creamy, rich, and perfectly sweet with that graham cracker crust. It honestly tasted homemade and was the perfect way to end the meal. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with love. Highly recommend — you won’t be disappointed! 🍕🍝🍰

Best Pizza I have had hands down! Their calzones are delicious too. Haven't tried the pasta but portions are looking good. Great spot for a casual eat or even a date night. Customer service is good too they bring your food to you and make sure you're happy.

My boyfriend and I went here the day before my birthday. We ordered fettuccine alfredo with shrimp and a small pepperoni pizza. Everything was great! We both enjoyed it! We will be back to try more! Oh! We also got some gelato and their very popular cheesecake! Both yummy! I have to say that their cheesecake is something special! You must try it!

Found this hidden gem while searching for a pizza-by-the-slice spot, and I’m so glad we did! It’s a cozy, family-owned mom-and-pop restaurant with friendly staff and an atmosphere that makes you feel like you’re in Italy. The food is absolutely delicious and authentic—by far some of the best pizza and pasta I’ve had. What makes it even more special is that the owner himself comes out to check in with guests, which really shows how much he cares. This place has quickly become my go-to for pizza and pasta. And one tip—you must try the cheesecake! It’s amazing.

This place is truly authentic and worth the drive from Menifee. We always look forward to their amazing pizza, and hot subs. Their gelato is sooo sooo good. Service is 10 stars. You will not be disappointed

This place had some great pizza. The service was quick and the owner and his wife came to speak with a couple of times. Everyone was very friendly and I’d love to come back and try more of their menu.

Like everyone else, the food is awesome. Nothing precooked! Wife and I had shrimp pasta. I usually don’t order restaurant shrimp as it is rarely fresh. A Carini’s shrimp is super fresh and so tasty. Maybe the best ever.!of course the pasta was perfectly cooked and really fresh hot. Family setting with best class food. See the pics my wife and papa Carini, and enjoy - Jim

100% Authentic Italian restaraunt. Very clean and cool vibe. The owner was their and he was very nice and talked to us. The Patricias pizza is one of the best pizzas I have ever had. My wife loves the ravioli here. Cool and quiet spot.

I'm half Italian are we surprised I have another review for an Italian restaurant? We went for the pizza, so I have zero input on the pasta. The pizza by the slice was fantastic! Large slices with a lite crispy bottom and crust. A robust sauce with amazing cheese pulls with each bite. It's a fantastic spot for pizza. We had the tiramisu which was light and fluffy! It was so good! The staff is kind and very attentive. The only thing I'm sad about is we missed out on that famous cheesecake! I guess we will just have to keep coming back.

The pasta and pizza both were delicious but on the expensive side. A pizza and pasta with tip was about 72 . The portion of pasta was small for the 20 bucks additional meat for extra 5. I have had way better services for the tip I paid . They didn’t even bother to ask for water and the whole experience was not enjoyable. We went there around 8:30 so was near the closing time but still service could have been better. As for the price and skipping on quality goes, quality skipping started when I had to stand up and order in front of counter like a line at blaze pizza. For dine in I was offered plastic spoon and pasta in aluminum foil. Imagine a 32 dollar pasta( with tips) coming with plastic spoons for dine in. Changed my star grading for 3-4 cause of candid visit we did second time and the experience was a lot better . Servers were prompt and efficient and the owner was friendly. Food was good as compared to other Italian restaurants but still the ambience is lacking and the prices are on high end and their dessert is bad for the price . Cut a star for that.

Stopped by on a Friday evening right before 5pm. No seating available for parties over 2 people. Lots of people picking up to go orders which kept the door open and it's 50° outside. We didn't want to break up our party of 3 so we left. The atmosphere is Subway-esque.

Came here with my family and was not impressed. We ordered a pizza and added toppings for $4 each. We ordered 2 slices of their "famous" cheesecake for $11 a slice. The pizza was ok. The cheesecake was alright. I love cheesecake but this cheesecake was not worth the hype. We weren't given napkins... our pizza was sent to the wrong table. Lastly, the owner never greeted us but he greeted other families which I found very odd.
