The breadsticks were absolutely delicious and their homemade Mariana sauce tasted homemade. The pizza's ingredients were very fresh and the crust was crunchy yet fluffy. The cherry on top is the gelato and cannoli's read more

Pizza so good it tastes like a Frank Sinatra song. The outside patio ambiance with checkered tablecloth and soft music was perfect for enjoying a nice lunch, but the aromas inside the restaurant explained why so many customers chose to dine inside. The service was excellent, but the food quality made from fresh, whole ingredients made our mouths water. My only complaint is that we ate way too much. Just look at the cheese pull! read more

I was in Murrieta for a meeting and decided to stop by for lunch with my team. This restaurant was recommended by a fellow coworker and I'm glad we decided to eat here. I got the lunch special which comes with a slice of pizza, salad, and drink. I got a slice of pepperoni and it was delicious. The salad went well with the pizza too. They sell gelato, cannolis, tiramisu, and cheesecake. I decided to get the cannolis and they were incredibly delicious. You can tell they are made there. I also got a slice of the cheesecake to go for my daughter since it was highly recommended by the owner. She really enjoyed it. The owner is so friendly and talkative. He even sang to us haha. It was a great lunch and if I'm ever in the area, I would definitely stop by again. read more

YES. This is the pizza we have been searching for. It's like you walked into an Italian home and were greeted with a warm hug by your Italian grandma, except she lets you sit on the plastic couch reserved for the pope. Definitely coming back! read more

A Carini's Pizza & Pasta - Italian Near Me - Murrieta, California

I just keep coming back! My hubby and I discovered this place last year and we just can't stay away. They have delicious authentic Italian cuisine for half the price of the other restaurants in the area. We love all of the pastas but my favorite is the Fettuccine Alfredo and the Vodka Penne. The pizzas are thin crust which I like. My favorite is a sweet and spicy one that's always in the window. They are always friendly and eager to make your experience wonderful. And if you still have room for dessert, they have a little Gelato counter. It's a very casual dining space so you can run in between chores and not feel under dressed. read more

Super great family restaurant. Best local Italian, been to Old Town Temecula, been to Anthony's, Tesino's, and a handful of others...last but least Olive Garden. A. Carinis really was spectacular. From flavor to staff it was a great visit. And the World Famous Cheesecake is a MUST! Thank you Mr. Carini for insisting we get a slice, and thank you for accommodating us as you were preparing to have your restaurant Christmas party. My family and I appreciate it read more

I tried this place after seeing it on social media and hearing about their cheesecake. My family and I orders a couple slice of pizza which were delicious and baked perfectly. My kids got the fettuccine Alfredo which was ok. Service was not the best, I had to get up and ask for each food item we had ordered because they kept forgetting us, as well as no utensils and napkins at the table. The cheesecake was not what I expected, it was tasty but not worth the price. I do appreciate the amount of tables available and the cleanliness. I would go back for the pizza. read more

I love a place where the customer service is on point. The owner Antonio walks around to greet everyone and is simply the kindest. Marie our server was also pleasant and helpful. Food: vodka pasta had a little kick to it so be prepared! Pepperoni pizza- delish and Margherita pizza was tasty. Tiramisu was a little dry but tasty. Ambiance: sat outdoors and enjoyed the music. It was a great visit! read more

What a cute little Italian spot in Murrieta! I didn't know about this place, but my friend and I meet up everytime I'm back in town and we weren't trying to be fancy, but we did want some gooood food. A Carini's Pizza & Pasta hit the spot! With plenty of parking in the shopping plaza and reasonable prices, this is one to bookmark for sure. You place your order at the counter and they bring your food to your table. I was in the mood for something light, but also enough to hold me over for the rest of the night. The #104 Combo was the perfect way to go. For just $12.50, I got a nice portion of salad, a slice of pizza and a drink. My friend ordered the Fettuccine with Chicken and the Breadsticks but we ended up sharing everything, lol. The food was delicious and I like that they warmed up the pizza slice for me. This is a cute spot for a quick Italian meal. You can also place an order to go! I'll have to return to try other things on their menu, like the gelato I almost didn't see! Service was great as well. A solid 5 stars from me! =) read more

The food was was absolutely delicious.The staff were warm and attentive, excellent service .Highly recommended.

I was literally craving for pasta for some reason when visiting Temecula. Did a quick yelp search and this place looked appealing to me. Alfredo pasta was the one I picked for my creamy crave. First off, the unforgettable delicious baked daily garlic bread has stolen the show. They were delicious. Words cannot describe how salty buttery and warm bread is. And after the Alfredo Pasta served. I chose the chicken for the protein. Perhaps more garlic taste can be added though it's my preference. Service was so great. Unfortunately I was too full, therefore couldn't try the so called home made gelato. For sure will be back for dessert. read more

This restaurant just makes you feel at home! its not just a restaurant, it feels like its a family gathering!

Best Pizza by the slice in Murrieta. Went to The Next Slice today and Carini's is still the best.

Came by for lunch with a friend. I was expecting a different vibe from the food pictures I saw on here, but it's quaint little place at a shopping plaza/strip mall. It's counter service and there's a few small tables inside. We got some cheesy bread and I ordered pasta and everything tasted great! Although I expected something different, I'd say this place would definitely satisfy any pasta or pizza cravings read more

We're new to the area and looking for our go-to pizza spot. Just stopped in and ordered a large meat lovers with garlic cheese bread. First let me say, the guy who took my order was very friendly and helpful. Our pizza was done pretty fast and I figured he would just call my name, but he brought the pizza directly to me and proceeded to hold the door open for me as I was leaving. As someone who's worked all my life in customer service positions, this left a lasting impression. I told my family, we'll be back just based on customer service alone. Now to the pizza...SO GOOD! Can't wait to go back and try other options in the future. We will be back based on flavor as well! Thank you!! read more

Very good food and the customer service was good. They came to check on me and my daughter more than once and made us feel at home.

I'll be back. Great service and well priced. The food is off the hook good. Thin crust pizza by the slice is hearty. The lemon bar ice cream flavorful. read more

This is my family's favorite place to eat above all others. The ingredients are fresh. The environment is fun and friendly. The food is so delicious.

Excellent food. Staff are family and very nice. A little bit of Italy inside. Have been a couple of times now and both times have been very good. read more

First of all the most important thing to me is good food and then great service to back the good food up. We give them a full 5+ they come to your table and make sure everything is good. They have some amazing pasta platters. You must try the pasta as well as the pizza. It's not just a little pizza shop. It's much much more than that if you love Italian food, you will love this place don't ever hesitate to go there and bring your friends. read more

Honestly, this place deserves more Than a Single star. However, the Hispanic lady in the front continues to drag this business down. Now I've been coming here once I discovered this cheesecake. This cheesecake is the absolute best cheesecake you will ever find this cheesecake. I have been driving an hour and change for this cheesecake because this cheesecake is absolutely the best. The pizza is great too but you can get authentic pizza you can't get cheesecake like this! however, whenever I get this representative, who takes my order or even when I pick it up , she's always rude. She's always always rude always condescending now I did find this place from yelp and searching for authentic best pizza and this is what place popped up so I took the drive. Thankful to Yelp. I found this amazing pizza place. However, no one mentioned the rude Hispanic lady working in the front also to be forewarned they will not honor any menu item price on this app or any app or any website that they have listed she says they're old and outdated they are aware of the issue but won't fix it. Why they wouldn't help the elderly owners and delete the Old menu since apparently she's a supervisor. I don't know I don't know! That in itself makes me side eye her! To even say you know and brush it off knowing it's a bad representation of this business that's great and they honestly probably dont know how to do it. -_-. but regardless the pizza is good and the cheesecake is good but the service is absolutely terrible if it's her, the young kids that I guess might be their grandkids are amazing. They're sweet. They're kind they'll go above and beyond to make sure they take care of your order or serve you, but that lady in the front she's rude for no reason I came in one time and I paid for my order before I got there(my husband came in and paid then left out to a meeting before I came to pick it up with the kids) and she insisted I didn't pay and when she looked at the receipt and seen I paid she didn't even say sorry she just said here you go. I've been back here five times and every interaction with her has been rude and this is the first time I've left a review about it because I'm sick of it read more

Came here because I saw an instagram video of their famous homemade cheesecake. And I didn't know such thing existed in the area. My husband only got 1 for me and my 2 boys cause it's $12 a slice. Slice is about the size of my palm. Wish I could have 100 more but I'm broke lol. Definitely wished it was bigger. It's good. It's really good. Will come back once in a while if I crave it again. read more

Food was absolutely amazing and delicious! The service was great and the staff was kind!

I came across a video on Instagram showcasing their cheesecake, and my husband and I decided to hop in the car and drive about 40 minutes from Corona to Murrieta to check out this family-owned Italian restaurant. Totally worth the trip! We wanted to sample a little bit of everything, so we shared the chicken parmesan, the cheesy breadsticks, and each got a slice of pizza. Everything was bursting with flavor and clearly made with care. Of course, we couldn't leave without ordering their popular cheesecake to go--I can't wait to dig into it at home! The ambiance here is wonderful--warm, welcoming, and lively. Even though the restaurant was very busy, the staff worked together seamlessly. You could tell it's a friendly environment, and everyone was kind, attentive, and on top of everything. This spot is an absolute gem. We'll definitely be making the drive from Corona again. Highly recommend if you're looking for incredible Italian food with amazing service! read more

Delicious food and great service. Everything tasted fresh and each bite was the best bite! My husband and I just moved into the area, and before being unpacked completely our apartment became full of bees, so we had to get a hotel for us and our pets. We decided to give this place a try and pick up dinner which we ordered a pepperoni pizza, garlic bread, and sausage penne pasta. Seriously the food was amazing even just being a pick up order! We were blown away with the flavors, the restaurants story and found ourselves laughing because we'd lose track of our conversation because the food was so good. (I know it sounds corny but it really is that great) We can't wait to try it in person once we have a chance to! Definitely added some stars to this unexpected hotel sleepover :) read more

I stumbled on this place, read the reviews and had to try it! It's safe to say that this is my new favorite local restaurant! The pizza and pasta is a must try! You can tell once you bite into your food that it is made with love! The staff is very nice as well. I highly recommend A Carini's if you are ever in the mood for a delicious, pizza, pasta, or even gelato! read more

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! read more
