Pepperoni pizza
Kyle J.

Heard about this place on Yelp actually for having the best NY style pizza in my area. I pass this place all the time on my way to Medford so I decided to try it. Now let me say. I was born and raised in Brooklyn. I know what NY style pizza is. This is NOT NY style pizza. NY style pizza compared to this Thin crust - It had thin crust Crispy bottom - The bottom wasn't crispy Not sweet - The pizza was extremely sweet I went, I tried, that's it.

Pizza large with eggplant

Large cheese pizza with eggplant for delivery arrived within 40 min. Generous topping, good crust, and flavorful sauce.

Plain slice was very large
Curtis M.

The pizza was decent, the slice was about 1/4 of a full pie. They only hade about 3 different slices ready at 1230 on a Saturday.

New York Style? Yeah but the shitty kind of new york pizza.

This was so disappointing. I've never felt compelled to write a yelp review, but here I am. La Bella - The straw that broke the pizza principal's back. Where do I start? Ok, so right away I was a little confused. I put in an order for a large plain pie. When I saw the size of the pizza box, I was a little disappointed with the size (that's what she said!!111). I've read a few reviews on here and everyone was raving about the size of their individual slices, so I figured a large pie would be good. The pizza is probably a medium size anywhere else you go. But I gave it the benefit of the doubt. I've had really good small pizzas before, so I was hoping this would be good too. I was completely wrong. This pizza was awful. Everything is way to sweet and could have been left in the oven a little longer. This tasted like some kind of trash pizza you get out of state. Then I ordered a stromboli, which wasn't terrible..? Still too sweet. My problem is the amount of sauce they give you. What kind of psychopath can eat a large stromboli with a little cup of sauce? I always order extra sauce to avoid issues like this.. IT STILL WASN'T ENOUGH. I could eat one of those cups of sauce in one bite. This was a terrible experience. Oh by the way, they also didn't have any penne pasta. How in the world can an italian restaurant run out of penne? Never again.. Their pizza boxes say "New York Style Pizza".. Welp, it must be the shitty kind of new york style pizza, because this place was trash.

Lil doode BIG slice
Mike C.

I stopped in to try this place out for lunch. It was a small room in the back, but they have a decent sized patio in front of the store (great for warmer weather). As long as you aren't overly dramatic about a small dining area, eating in is fine and service was very friendly. I ordered the Chicken Italiano sandwich with fries. The entire roll was toasted just right. The spinach and red peppers were nicely sauteed. Chicken was perfectly seasoned and the sharp provolone was great quality. I've ordered this sandwich at many places and it oftentimes comes out very greasy and difficult to keep the sandwich intact while eating. Here, the sandwich was presented nicely, it wasn't dripping oil, and probably up there with one of the best Chicken Italiano sandwich I've had in this area. I'll definitely make another trip out.

My best friend and I have been wanting to try Femmina since he moved to Medford a year again…read more Finally the situation presented itself and we decided to head there on a Friday night. The parking lot was PACKED and it took a bit to find a spot. We were told there would be a 30 minute wait, which was significantly less than I thought considering they do not take reservations for parties less than 6. We were actually sat in 15 minutes and our server brought us waters and Arnold palmers while we perused the menu and specials. After placing our order, a food runner brought us buttery warm garlic rolls and a different style of crusty bread as well. We decided to start with the arancini ( Italian rice balls) which came with four huge rice balls stuffed with a ground beef bolognese style and served with marinara. Our house salads came with a thousand island style dressing and consisted of chopped romaine, grape tomatoes, and cucumbers. Very basic but the dressing seemed like it could be made in house. For our entrees, I did the limoncello chicken and my best friend did the paparadelle with lobster. Mine had the most decadent lemon cream sauce bathing several chicken cutlets covered in crab meat with melted cheese and a huge mound of capellini. His was covered in chunks of lobster claw meat, mushrooms, prosciutto, and peas with a sherry blush sauce. Both entrees were huge and we took more than half home but everything was delicious. For dessert we opted to share the tiramisu since it's made in house. It had a thin layer of chocolate on top, which made for the most delicious mocha flavor. Our server was wonderful, the place was packed with people celebrating birthdays and everyone sang every time another candlelit dessert was paraded through the dining room. The ambience is cozy and comfortable and I can't wait to go back!

A few minutes later, our server, Bailey, stopped by to ask what type of water we preferred and brought us a basket of bread with plates of extra-virgin olive oil. The restaurant was crowded, and the noise level was above average. Bailey made some good menu recommendations, and we opted to have our pasta served family-style. I noticed the menu mentions a two-hour dining limit. The restaurant itself is charming, although it didn't transport me back to Italy. The exposed brick walls reminded me more of Old City Philadelphia. The Food We decided to share the Capelli d'Angelo Pesto Siciliano con Pomodoro and Tagliolini al Ragù di Cinghiale. The pasta arrived beautifully plated, but the initial impression was that it was the smallest $60 portions of pasta I had ever seen. That said, the texture, layers of flavor, and overall taste were very good. Unfortunately, it simply wasn't worth the price. Our second family-style dish was the Spalla di Cinghiale Brasata. At another $80, the wild boar portion was minuscule, especially considering it was meant to be shared. The plating was attractive, with a small spoonful of white beans and two green chili peppers cut in half. However, the meat was dry and lacked flavor. This dish definitely missed the mark. The Service and Dining Experience Now let's revisit that two-hour dining limit mentioned on the menu. About 90 minutes into dinner, we had finished our pasta and were patiently waiting for the wild boar. Bailey eventually arrived with a complimentary plate of prosciutto and focaccia because the kitchen was running behind. At approximately the 100-minute mark, our boar finally arrived. Almost on cue, around minute 115, Bailey began removing plates from the table, even though not everyone had finished eating. This was rude and unprofessional. It was clear he was under pressure to get us out of the restaurant, even though the kitchen's delay had thrown off the entire timeline. We also shared the Torta di Mele, which was average at best. Bailey enthusiastically described the whipped cream that accompanied the dessert. He would have been better off saying nothing. The actual serving of whipped cream was less than a tablespoon. Final Thoughts I know Chef Kevin gets upset when people don't love his restaurant, but in my opinion, he is his own worst enemy. Yes, the food was good in some respects. However, the small portions, high prices, and poorly managed dining timeline overshadowed the positives. We felt rushed out of the restaurant through no fault of our own. Ultimately, the experience was not worth the money, and I won't be returning.

We ordered the calamari, Trio di Mare, and the grilled salmon, and every dish was fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. The complimentary house salad, fresh bread, and cheesecake dessert were all excellent and made the meal feel complete. The atmosphere is comfortable and perfect for a relaxing dinner with family or friends. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is that the restaurant charges a credit card service fee without informing customers in advance. A simple notice on the menu or by the register would go a long way in avoiding an unpleasant surprise at the end of an otherwise enjoyable meal. Overall, the food and ambiance make Cucina Carini worth visiting, and I would gladly return.

I rounded down instead of up because of my personal experience that night, but I could see that half star going either way. ANYWHO, Cucina Carini.....a local pizza shop that has an attached dining room that, while pretty small, is also pretty nice. BYOB, which we didn't know heading in, and unless we are missing something, the only beverage options are either water, or whatever YOU bring. (We weren't asked what we would like to drink, nor saw any beverage options on the menu.) SO, water it was, which was fine with ME anyway. ALSO, another thing not listed on the *dine in menu,* is that they DO have a kids menu, which consists of what you would think it does; chicken fingers, fries and the like. We sit and get to work looking over the menu. We land on crab ravioli for me, (crab meat, asparagus & plum tomatoes in a sherry cream sauce), potato gnocchi for The Misses (With spinach & bacon simmered in a gorgonzola cream sauce,) and the chicken fingers meal for The Little One. Entrees comes with soup or salad (soup for her, salad for me). Where CC is losing some points is on service. Our server was fine, but the kitchen was very mixed up. When we sat, our Little One was being a kid, so while getting her situated, we ordered all of the mains. About 5 minutes later, when the server brought the bread over, we asked to order an appetizer of fried mozzarella (which I assumed would be the fresh mozzarella, breaded and fried, but instead was the packaged Sams club type breaded sticks variety..the menu says "Fried Mozzarella, Breaded mozzarella, fried golden crisp & served with marinara sauce. Nowhere does it mention "sticks." *shoulder shrug emoji*). In rapid succession after that, the kids meal came out, and then, and I mean probably 3-4 minutes after ordering the mozz *sticks,* THEY hit the table. Still no soup or salad. The mozzarella sticks were made suspiciously fast. Maybe 15-20 minutes later the ENTREES hit the table. The server does recognize that she never brought the soup or salad, and offers to put them in To-Go containers. *second shoulder shrug emoji* The entrees themselves were good, not great. Decent flavor, but both dishes underseasoned. A little salt would have gone a long way. I had to add parmesan cheese, red pepper flake, and some salt myself to coax a better flavor out of my ravioli. The Misses's gnocchi also needed some doctoring to bring out some true flavor. The kids meal was a generous portion size, but then again, it WAS $13, so..... We decided to actually do dessert, as The Little One wanted cake, and I had seen a picture of the Peanut Butter Bomb, and absolutely wanted to try it. One bomb, and one Lemoncello Cake slice was the order. The Lemoncello cake was good, but again, lacking in deep flavor. You got a hint of lemon, then the rest of the bite was chewing on air. It speaks to the lightness of the cake crumb, but the flavor needs to be punched up. The Peanut Butter Bomb however; no notes. Delicious. Chocolate mousse on top of a peanut butter mousse, on top of a chocolate cookie type base, the whole thing covered in chocolate and peanut drizzle (?) and sprinkled with peanuts. Definitely the best thing I ate here. SO, all things put together, it wasn't a bad night. Service was a little slow, which was only really a problem because we had a squirmy 7 year old. I probably would have appreciated the pace if it were The Misses and I just sipping a bottle of wine. But, the kitchen course timings and mix up, plus the muted flavor of pretty much every dish knocked it down a few pegs. I could see Cucina Carini easily being a 4 star spot and a go-to, "our spot" type place, it just didn't get there for me on my one visit. It's a little far from us, but if I'm in the area, I would definitely give it another shot.
