Carini Brick Oven Cafe — Restaurant in Pennsylvania

Went there last night with friends. Small wait to get in, that was expected. Got seated outside, but had to go inside because it was too cold. Waited some times for drinks. After over an hour, we asked for at least bread. Waited it finally arrived. At this point we were so hungry the bread was gone in 2 seconds and so we're our drinks. We order more drinks (soda) got them after a while and finally got more bread. Still waiting for our food and was told serial times 5 more minutes. We asked to speak to manager, I believe his name was Carlos. After at least 10 mins he came and asked what we needed. We told him about the service, or should I say lack of. We explained when the bread finally came, we had no utensils or plate for our bread. How were we suppose to butter or bread? He got very defensive and just kept on saying, I don't want to argue with you, your food will be out shortly.I must say, the food was good, but left a bad taste after such slow and bad service. We received the bill he took 10% off but it turns out was charged for all refills of soda. We wouldn't have drank so much soda if our meals came out in a decent amount of time.people that came in after us ate their appetizers and received their meals before our bread came.carlos did say, well they got appetizers that's why they're eating.Were we suppose to order appetizers in order to get our meals in an appropriate amount of time? As stated before the food was good, but don't think I worth waiting over 1 hr 20 minutes to eat it. Don't think...

Our family dined in at this restaurant on our way home from a trip. It was our first time and what attracted us to it was having some gluten free options (not typical at an Italian restaurant). The waitress was reassuring and accommodating. The restaurant was busy and it was Saturday night. They seemed understaffed for the amount of people who were coming in. Unfortunately our service was lacking and I'm thinking it's probably due to that. Our drinks weren't refilled after asking. We had to ask a second time and the waitress only refilled 1 of 4 of our drinks. She also didn't check to see if we needed anything. The bathrooms were very messy and really needed more attention.

The food looked much better than it tasted. I enjoyed my meal but something seemed off on the flavor. There aren't any salt or pepper shakers on the tables, nor were we offered parmesan cheese for our dishes.

Everything is ala carte so even the entree's do not come with a salad. We were hoping for a little bread basket (for those who were not gluten free) but it wasn't included or offered. Our gluten free eater's pizza was extremely thin and the crust was very crispy. They said they were happy to get something GF but that it wasn't very good. It also cost $13.00 for a personal size pizza plus $1.50 extra for...

Ok so I don’t usually write reviews. However when this area finally has a tastefully appointed place to eat, and a good one at that, I start seeing crazy stuff that’s been written and had to chime in. First, I don’t understand the pushback on service, seating and paper plates. If you take the time to read their story, which has been available at the bar since they’ve opened, you’d know the township and state have limited their operations. I’ve been to Carini’s several times and their coffee is amazing. I love that you roast your own coffee and so does my coffee fanatic husband, he was impressed. Your pizza is amazing, love the NY Style with onion and mushroom, yum! And I haven’t had a sandwich I didn’t like. Haha Your food always tastes fresh, the place is always clean and the atmosphere is a much needed change to what’s normally offered in this area. So thank you for coming back and adding a much needed place for us to eat! Oh and I have to say your Apple crumb pie, when you have it, is so good! Had your Blueberry Ricotta gelato too at the old place, hope you have it again. Thank you for hanging in there, you guys have been treated unfairly by the township/state. We look forward to when you can operate at full capacity! We are definitely, several times over, returning...
