Our Story

Since 2003, Mama Carpino's has been the finest location for Italian cuisine in the High Desert. Tom Carpino, family, and staff make sure every guest receives the best in service and quality food.

The sauces still simmer all day, the dough is still made by hand, and the recipes are still the family's own. Whether it is a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, there is a seat for you here.
