The Pacific Avenue restaurant, open since 1985, will host a Wildwood school pasta dinner fundraiser on its last day.
WILDWOOD CREST, Nov. 9, 2026 — Carini Ristorante & Pizzeria will close for good Nov. 21, the restaurant announced in a social media post.
The family-run Italian restaurant at 9854 Pacific Ave. opened in 1985, according to its website.
"This decision has not been an easy one, and we want to take a moment to sincerely thank all of our customers for their loyalty, support, and friendship throughout the years," the Carini family wrote.
The post also thanked the restaurant's staff: "You have become more than employees; you have become family."
Wildwood Middle & High School will hold a pasta dinner fundraiser at the restaurant on Nov. 21, its final day. The family encouraged customers to "stop in, enjoy one more meal with us," and support the school.
Outstanding gift cards must be redeemed before Nov. 21.
