5:35 - 6:40 PM

Ramona: Caesar salad, Bowtie Festival, Italian chocolate cake with chocolate sauce, iced tea

Jim: Caesar salad, chicken Gorgonzola penne pasta, amaretto cherry cheese cake, iced tea

We are always nervous about eating at Carino's, because they have been uneven in the past, but this dinner was very good. Ramona had enough left over for lunch on Tuesday.

We took advantage of the "two can dine for $19.99" and both dishes were excellent.

Bread, which is always key, is especially good here. The dish with baked garlic, oregano, and olive oil for dipping is also a nice treat.

The dinner included two mini-desserts and they were enough for us. Mine was a 1-1/2 inch square piece of cheese cake with two cherries soaked in Amaretto. Ramona's was about the same size.
