The Take
Order the grilled fish or veal with olive oil, herbs, and extra vegetables instead of pasta. Carino's stands out among chains by putting olive oil on seafood explicitly rather than defaulting to cream.
The focus stays on vitello, carne, and pesce over fried apps, though most pastas still lean carb-plus-cream.
The Verdict
Carino's delivers rare chain honesty with olive oil on seafood and a protein focus that beats the usual fried-app trap.
Order the grilled fish or veal with olive oil, herbs, and double veggies.
