Carinis la conca d'oro
At Carini's you cannot get any more authentic than being in Sicily. In fact Peter, owner/chef, comes from Sicily and takes pride in all that he prepares. Many of the dishes are prepared the same way his mother cooked them. He uses the freshest ingredients and can customize any dish to your liking. His expanse menu offers 5 kinds of spiedini, seafood, pasta, chicken, veal, vegetarian, appetizers including calamari, octopus salad, antipasto plates and much more. He has many imported desserts plus his homemade tiramisu, cannolis and casatta, a yellow cake infused with rum and filled with cannoli filling and glazed. Peter also sells his spaghetti and marinara sauce, garlic olive oil and seasoned salt from the restaurant as well as gift baskets. All of the products can be shipped anywhere in the US. The restaurant can accomodate parties of any size up to 140 people.

"Went with a big party and the whole experience was forgetful. Food is bland service was horrible and the chef was more interested in watching TV in the bar area than cooking. Please do yourself a favor don't go. The red sauce isn't even good enough to be out of a jar. We should have known better when we were the only party in the place at 7pm."

"This restaurant has delicious food, and good service. Out server seemed a little out of sorts, or like she had too many tables to keep things straight, no major mishaps though. Only thing I didn't love was the soup, it was a chicken soup with pasta and potatoes and carrots and celery. It just didn't taste great to me, my bf liked it and finished my bowl. I had the chicken Alfredo, it was great! As were the bread with dipping oil, and the lasagna. I will definitely return."

"First time at this restaurant, will be back soon. Food was prepared very well and was a bit distinctive... not a copy of every Italian restuarnat. Had Spedini and it was tender, flavorfull and not overdone. My wife had Cabonara and it was creamy and rich. Eggplant appitizer was crisp, light without a hint of grease. Nice view of the neighborhoon. Things flowed at a nice pace, not rushed but no long waits either. I wish I lived within walking distance but I bet my cardiologist wouldn't be happy :)"

"The food was fine, but definitely nothing special. I ordered the Beef Spiedini, which didn't have much flavor. My wife had the Eggplant Parmesan, which was good. The atmosphere was somewhat sterile and it wasn't busy at all on a Friday night...not a good sign. I do have to say that the service was excellent. Everyone who works there is very friendly and helpful."

"The other reviews were so positive, this must have been an off-night for them. The specials were announced, with accompanying starch and veggies; when our plates arrived, there were no veggies. When we asked, "Didn't the lamb come with asparagus?" we were told that they "ran out" (this is a 6pm reservation on Wednesday and no one else in the restaurant). There was no offer of substitution veggie until we asked for it. Food was all right -- the shrimp and scallops in the scampi were plentiful -- but it certainly was not the typically generous Wisconsin "pour" of liquor from the bar. Then at the end, an extraneous beer added to the tab left us unenthusiastic about returning."
