We stayed in the hotel down the street and someone recommended this place. Very good,very fresh and very fast.Thatâs probably the best way to describe this place. We loved every dish we ordered. The only disappointment was they didnât serve wine or any other alcohol.You could bring your own so come prepared. Food is well worth the visit

Let me first start by saying that I would rate this restaurant somewhere between "Average & Very Good" as per the TripAdvisor rating scale. I would therefore call it "Good". Due to the lack of an option to choose "Good", I chose to select "Average"Now to my review of the restaurant.My colleagues invited me for lunch and I joined them at the Olive Garden. After having lived in Europe for half a decade, I have developed a liking for European food especially Italian food. So I tend to scrutinize any restaurant in detail when they claim to specialise in Italian food.The restaurant is conveniently located catering to the residential population from the nearby suburbs as well the business crowd from nearby Jacintoport. Parking availability is abundant.The restaurant from the outside looks very Italian, similar to a buildings in Lake Como or Lago Di Garda. Once in we were escorted to our tables by the hostess. The restaurant looked huge and at 12:15 PM it was almost full. This is a good sign for diners. More the people it indicates food is good.The options in the menu were nice especially the section where you can chose to make your own pasta with a variety of sauces and pastas to choose from. The beverage section also had something to offer (But it was out of bounds for me as I had to get back to work). I ordered a Meat Ball spaghetti pasta hoping to relieve the authentic taste from Italy. My colleagues ordered lasagnas and other type of pastas. The food was served pretty quick and it looked good. The aroma too was good but the variety which I opted for seemed to be too bland. But having said that it was nice to eat. The good thing was that the served portion was quite heavy.The service of the staff were really good. They paid attention to each table and guest especially the person who looked after our table. His name was Peter, always had a pleasant smile on his face. I hope his management reads this and appreciates him on my behalf.Overall a very nice restaurant and as I stated at the beginning of this review. I would like to rate it "Good" but due to the lack of the option, I rate it Average but they do have the potential to turn it into "Very Good"
I had often wondered why all the Carino's were closing their doors. After eating here I think I've figured it out. The service was less than adequate and the food, well, it was very below average. Little taste, little flavor and portion sizes cut considerably since my last visit to a Carino's. Servers were mostly standing around shooting the bull, kitchen staff were making so much noise it was drowning out the very loud music that was being piped in. The entire restaurant looked "tired", carpets worn/dirty, could use a paint job, and the bathroom was a real mess.....with mold here and there. There are too many good Italian restaurants in the Houston area, one should consider one of those over a less than average Carino's.
