Carlino's

We will NEVER eat here again! My friend and I called before we went there and they told us they closed at 11pm. We arrived at 945pm and because my friend was African American they gave us dirty looks and proceeded to point to a table in the pizzeria part of the front even though I said not once, but THREE times that we wanted to sit in the dining room. The staff gave us dirty looks the whole time we were there and the owner kept coming in and staring at us and then walking out. Then when we got the check we were rushed out by the rude owner who, at 10:45pm took my friends money off the table (we were going to pay by credit card), but he took it without asking and said he wanted to close. He was very rude. Also, they ripped us off. We ordered 2 cannolli's to go, and they were both empty except for the ends to make them look normal. Then when we were getting into our car, the owner came out and made some snide remark under his breath about checking all the windows and the doors so nobody robs them and looked right at us. I do not recommend this place to anyone and especially not if you are African American! NOBODY should be treated in this manner. ESPECIALLY NOT IF YOU ARE SPENDING MONEY!!!! The waitress was nice and the food was good but not worth being treated poorly!

Pretty good Italian place. I'm pretty picky with my Italian food as I'm constantly comparing it to my grandmother's cooking, as well as my own, but this place does a pretty good job without charging an arm and a leg

Came here on the recommendation of friends. Very dated exterior and decor. But you can't eat atmosphere. Quality and freshness of the food was wonderful. Very attentive and informative wait staff. They know their menu. And made some wonderful recommendations. Stop by this hole in the wall and have a wonderful meal

Best Southern Italian food and service anywhere. Period. Carlino's has a great location on Jericho Turnpike in Mineola and I really love that they have a large parking lot in the back. There's a lot of restaurant owners that eat at Carlino's and that says a lot.

Many restaurants take reservations, but when you arrive they give you excuses. That's never been the case with Carlino's Restaurant. I like that you can make a reservation and they never keep you waiting.

Me and my co-worker eat here every friday, WE LOVE IT !!! Best gramma pizza around. Loved it. Lunch specials are delicious and a great ddeal as well
