You feel instantly at ease when you walk into Carini's. The hostesses and servers are always so nice and welcoming. I have yet to have a bad meal here. Try the chicken parm sub. Comfort food! The bread they use for the sub tastes just like it was freshly baked in your oven at home.
Excellent decor, menu and food. Great variety of Italian meats, seafood & cheese. Cannoli was excellent!
Everyone I talked with at my hotel said this was the place for an Italian sub. It did not disappoint. The garlic cheese bread tasted fresh with fresh garlic. Nice wine and beer options.
Been loving this restaurant for many years. Always good food, service and prices. Never have had a bad meal here. Their pasta dishes are awesome. The sauce is so good. Always more than I can eat. Got stuffed shells with tomato sauce, no meat. Was excellent. The spaghetti is so good I usually get that but tried something different. Bread is good. I haven't had better Italian food anywhere else in Richmond that's as good as Carini's.

September 2023 - Good experience and meals. I would have liked a bit more sauce on the spaghetti but more than I could eat in one meal. Leftovers for lunch. Still delicious. Fast, friendly service.
I love this place!! I could be considered a regular, I dine in & carry out .All the workers have excellent customer service, I love the food & atmosphere. Thanks Maria, she knows me by name & we have a pleasant exchange every time I come in. There's something special about it being family owned & not a big chain.

Very large selection of menu items, surprising it how many items there were on the menu, not just Italian.
The food was good and reasonably priced
Great little Italian spot in a forgotten shopping center. Fine dining? No. Very good food at very good prices. Yes!
My brother took me here 2 years back. I travel through Richmond to Williamsburg every few months. This is my stop for lunch every trip. I love Italian and Carlini's hits it! Great lunch - great service! One server has been there for over 30 years!
We've celebrated countless Birthdays, anniversaries and other special occasions here, as it's been one of my favorite restaurants since I was a kid.
I've yet to find a dish that wasn't delectable, with each one being plentiful and endlessly appetizing. My favorite probably being just the good ol' Spaghetti and Meatballs. SIMPLE? Yes. SIMPLY AMAZING!
The staff are always friendly, attentive and accommodating. Maria (manager) is very personable and always makes us feel right at home and in good hands.
Whether it's pickup, a romantic dinner for two or a family reunion in the banquet room (and air hockey tournament afterwards) they got ya covered.
I've always said that if I were to ever open my own restaurant, I would strive to be like Carini's.
I really liked this place! My only complaint was that I think the fries cooled off before serving. Other than that the food was very good and the service was excellent. I'd like to come back soon. Great value.
