What a nice little gem hidden in the high desert.They have a decent selection of beer on tap to fit any mood you're in.I am a creature of habit and was about to get spaghetti before I asked for a recommendation. The Penne Alla vodka was AMAZING. The sauce was delicious and I wish they sold it in jars.I was surprised with how good the pizza was. It has a perfect crisp and the crust was perfect in my opinion.
Great place for good, traditional Italian food!Brittany, our server, was fantastic. Friendly, professional, and on it. As well as the rest of the staff.. all are professionally dressed.. had very enjoyable meal.
Amazing Amazing Amazing!!! Best Italian Spot in the High Desert. Love the food love the service love the ambiance. We went to dinner for a Birthday and they did not disappoint.
We ordered food to go on Mother's Day and it was a 10 out of 10 no joke. The freshness, the quality, I have to say probably the best food I have ever eaten in my 43 years on this planet. My husband and son ordered everything so I'm not sure of the names of everything but the salad with blue cheese crumble fresh slices of tomatoes and Mozzarella cheese was out of this world. It should be illegal its so good. The bread so fresh and good, they got a cheese and pepperoni pizza and let me tell you, for someone who doesn't really like pizza, I will order this again without hesitation, the cheese was real and fresh the crust was not oily and soggy. It was the most perfect pizza I have ever eaten. Now we live 20 min away and it all held up and was still perfect. That says something. Now, the cream puffs wow real cream it was outstanding. The Canolis tasted Phenomenal. I can't get over this perfection. I am extremely picky when it comes to food and like I said 10/10. Oh and I usually have to throw left overs away, no leftovers in the trash, it was that good. I now have a place I can eat at that I don't mind spending the money on. I will tell everyone I come across about this place. Excellent Job
Always delicious with helpful, friendly staff. Mama Carpino’s is the place for a great evening! The seafood and eggplant is amazing.
Three words: Penne Alla Vodka.It’s a must order. Probably the best food you will find in the high desert. It does get pretty busy even with all of the seating they have so be prepared to wait (sorry I can’t recall if they do reservations!). I haven’t had anything on the menu that I didn’t like!
I tried Mama Carpinos Saturday 3/12/22, and boy, was it worth it. I had been wanting to try this Italian Restaurant out and just kept putting it off. I'm so glad, @go.gringeaux suggested we go.?I had the cheesy Potato Soup, which was very good and hearty. The Chicken Scaloppini was Delicious (2nd photo)! Chicken cooked too perfection and serving size was bigger than expected. The Caramel Tiramisu was good and great way to finish off dinner. Richie had the house Salad, the Baked Ziti, which looked delicious and tasted great. You know I had to try it ?. He then had a chocolate cannoli for dessert.The food was delicious and fresh, and the atmosphere was nice and relaxing. The waitress was friendly and had a great attitude. When I asked for coffee to go with my dessert, she had no problem putting a fresh pot to brew. The dessert was gobbled down so I was unable to get photos of that, just empty plates ?.
Our dinner experience was phenomenal. The food was spectacular. I live out of town and every time I come to town we come here to eat. ?
Lately due to medical reasons I've been resorting to take out to feed my family and myself. And it's been a hit and miss process and throughout the last 8 months I have been craving pasta. I have tried every place in the entire high desert with everything failing to please not that they were all terrible it's just that nothing really made me feel great about spending the money and I just felt like gosh I wish I was in better health so I could just stand in the kitchen and cook myself. I tried a couple times to go to this restaurant and eat inside but it was so busy and the wait was so long that I ended up going elsewhere so finally I called my order in and I drove over and picked it up and let me tell you it was so good and so satisfying that it almost made me cry. I know that sounds ridiculous but I've had such a difficult time being able to eat and not only was I able to really enjoy my dinner but it was absolutely delicious. And even my children who are a little on the finicky side or very impressed and agreed with me that it was really really good. We ordered traditional spaghetti with meat sauce and I swapped out Italian sausage instead of the meatballs, the sausage filled cannellini with Italian sausage and the meat sauce and antipasto salad. I also ordered a variety of desserts and cookies. The spaghetti was the best spaghetti that I've had in probably 30 years since I ate at the portofino restaurant in Torrance California. The sausage was wonderful the sauce everything... I spent about a half hour reading all the reviews before I decided to call in the order because it's not cheap. There were a couple of people that had complaints but they're always are. And I'm telling you as someone who usually cooks and feels like they're an accomplished chef I absolutely love this restaurant. This is it for me the spaghetti is going to be my Friday night treat for quite some time. I'm extremely happy that I decided to phone in the order tonight and I can't wait to try the rest of the stuff on the menu. And the desserts were great the cookies absolutely spectacular!
Great family owned and operated resturant! They also have a variety of Italian deli items and a nice selection of desserts! Their pizzas are top notch! I haven't been disappointed by anything I ordered here. Friendly and very prompt service as well!
