I went to stop off at Carini's today and they are gone. A new place called La Romas or something like that is "coming soon". Did somebody buy them out? I noticed that the quality has gone down over the past few years, and recently it was all Spanish speaking people working there instead of Italian people, etc, but the pizza was still good. Anyone have any info on the new owners, or is it just a name change with a remodeling like Sherridan's?

I was talking to a few of the local residents and found out the real story of how the owner of the shopping center, Greg Chaires of Kent Island realty once again showed what a real snake in grass he is by evicting Carini's. The owner had been battling with Greg Chaires for years and now he finally got his wish when Carini's forgot to send a letter of intent to renew the lease for the next five years Mr. Chaires is now going to open up his own pizza shop in place of Carini's with the Mexican people that ran the place. I heard that the original owner of Carini's is going to reopen across from Centervlle National Bank on Thompson Creek Rd in the Champion Realty shopping center. For info call 410-604-2501. I heard that Vico is the original owner back in Carini's now.

That's pretty close tj. Actually, Vico never sold the place. The owner for the last five years (Freddy) was renting with option to buy. After five years, he wasn't making it. Vico (Owner of LaFontana) will be taking it back. Vico was fanatical about cleanliness and quality, something the Freddy took for granted. People noticed, and showed it by not patronizing the shop. I would guess it will go back to Italian carryout simply because that's what Vico knows best.

Isn't Short Stop Pizza right behind there? With the place that is taking over Carini's, the 'old' Canini's relocating and the new Italian restaurant opening up where Love Point Cafe' was in addition to Squisito, La Fontana, Ledo, La Piazza, Pizza Hut, Short Stop, Papa Johns, Dominoes, etc., we sure have a lot of Italian/Pizza places here. It's going to be interesting to see who lasts.

Hi all. Im new to this board but did want to say hi & start being part of the group. I hadnt noticed that Carinis was gone (I hope they stay close as I did order from there on occasion) but I did see that Sheridans also bit the dust. It was there 1 wk & gone the next. Any ideas what happened there? We liked it there & it was a good deal. There just arent many nice, reasonable places on KI. Ta Sharon

That's for sure!! man I miss living where I used to live...we had everything delivered...Italian, Mexican, Chinese, sandwiches, chicken, pizza...... Here...I get to be the delivery person if we want something besides pizza....(and that's only when we are desperate or I am too lazy to drive in and pick up from Squizitos...)

I know there are alot of "fish" places & thats nice BUT I dont eat anything out of the Bay so that takes care of the majority of the places unless you want fast food, thank you but not on a regular basis. Thats why Sheridans worked. It had a cross cut of food, it was good, it wasnt expensive & you could be very casual there. oh well Ta

U'll not know what the f*** ur talk about. It's not Mexican there are from El Salvador . What i know from people is they started buying 50% from vico and 3 year later they wanted to buy the rest but vico wanted to make easy money by use them so he said no. And vico forgot to send a letter of intent to renew the lease for the next five years and Mr. Chaires wanted vico out because vico is a crap talker so what vico going to do was Censored Bad Word Here over the Spanish people. The Spanish people talk to Mr. Chaires to renew the lease and he said i will to u but not to vico i not want him here any more. So the Spanish people did what they know best Italian food . So now they own it not Mr. Chaires he want to act like its his but its not......... but they have the best pizza in KI. So now vico is mad that he lost so he wants to make them look bad but their not. They run the restaurant better then vico did.
