A. Carini's Pizza and Pasta

A. Carini's is a family-owned Italian restaurant in Murrieta serving hand-tossed pizzas, made-from-scratch pasta and classic Italian comfort dishes. The house-made dough is prepared daily, pasta is cooked to order, and the breadsticks are a regular draw. Popular picks include the Meat Lovers and Creamy Garlic pizzas, the Margherita, and lasagna and stuffed shells.

The menu also covers Sicilian-style pizza, subs made with Boarshead meats and cheeses, salads and desserts such as cannoli and tiramisu. Orders can be placed ahead by phone, and catering is available. The restaurant is on Madison Avenue in Murrieta and is open daily from 11 AM to 9 PM.
