Carini's Italian - Roanoke Rapids

I visited this restaurant during my family reunion, and it felt like stepping back in time. The town has an old-fashioned charm, which I appreciated. The interior could use some updates, but that’s just my perspective as an outsider. I ordered the grilled chicken salad with ranch dressing, and let me tell you, it was absolutely heavenly! I'm usually not a fan of iceberg lettuce, but the way it paired with the fresh grilled chicken, red onions, black olives, cucumbers, and shredded cheese, all drizzled with ranch (not sure of the brand), made me fall in love with it. I should have opted for a larger size because the small portion just wasn't enough, but since it was my first time at the restaurant, I wanted to play it safe.

I previously stopped dining at Carini's due to the quality of the food, but upon hearing they had new owners, I decided to give them another chance. Unfortunately, the food quality was even worse than before. The burger was a tasteless, disorganized mess, and the fried pickles were so burnt that they were unrecognizable. My family and I won't be returning.

I ordered wings and pizza, and both were excellent. I used the Slice app to place my order, and it arrived hot and fresh. If you're passing through the area and craving good pizza or wings, I highly recommend Carini's Italian Restaurant.

We absolutely love Carini's! The staff puts in a lot of effort to serve you, and the food is consistently fantastic!

Order here if you want something from the frozen food section. Some of my food was missing. I was told they no longer sold the items yet it’s on their menu and they charged me full price. The menu that you see only under their site isn’t accurate according to the manager. She was nasty and hardly let me get a word in and tried to tell me that I didn’t pay the full price posted. I TRIED to her what was posted on the site, which is where I normally order from, and she was super rude and unaccommodating. I captured a picture of what was posted on the menu before she just changed it a few minutes ago.
