This might be the best restaurant in Milwaukee. The food is up there with some of my favorite spots in southern Italy. The attention to detail is so great that when I walked in recently, they apologized for not having my usual Peroni, so they poured me two other Italian beers samples and asked which I preferred. White not being a VPN pizzeria, they continue to churn out the best Neopolitan pizza in the Midwest. Whether it’s date night, bellying up to the bar, carry out or Sunday family dinner — Carini’s cannot be beat.

Southern Italian food at it’s best. Day of so we phone ahead, and it’s best if you do. This place fills up!

Wow! I was so impressed at my first visit to Carinis. This restaurant has been around forever, 20 years ago I took drivers Ed in the business next door and it was there then too! It was a Sunday and my usual places were closed, so I looked at restaurants near me with 5 star reviews and this one came up. I have been to Italy and I LOVE authentic Italian food, which is honestly hard to find. Me and my aunt decided to give it a try. So many places on Oakland Ave go out of business in 1-2 years, so for this place to still be there says something!!

Delicious entrees and excellent service. My wife asked if the chef would prepare veal parm for her as it was not on the menu. “Of course” was our server Isabella’s answer. The spedini was excellent as was the veal parm. So tender! The wine list provided a variety of regional Italian wines which complemented our meal. The cannoli we shared for dessert was rich with a hint of cinnamon in the shell.

Truly the best place near UWM. Food is extremely cheap for the perfect Italian quality Carinis provides. I took my girlfriend here on a whim and was blown away by the amazing food and comfortable atmosphere. Waiters are so kind, and the chef/owner is the kindest pureblood Italian men I’ve ever met. Easily one of the best pizza and pasta places I’ve ever been to.

My husband and I took our 20 yr old niece here for her birthday. The food and the service was outstanding! Everything was super fresh and flavorful. The entire staff was very attentive and genuinely friendly (not fake-nice). The chef even came out to ask us how the dinners were! Prices were very reasonable for both the quality and quantity of food. We left with a small tower of leftovers! I highly recommend this place for any occasion, or none at all. You won’t be disappointed.

Okay restaurant. Large portions, a bit pricey. Servers are very nice, but the ceiling fans could use a good swipe. Food tastes just like any other Italian American food, no surprises there, tastes exactly how you expect it to. Good place for family meals or meeting.
