Best Italian Restaurants in Gold Coast Hotel & Casino

Wow, where do I even begin? My family of 10 dined at Carmine’s tonight, and the entire experience was nothing short of incredible! From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and taken care of. Our waitress, Maegan, was phenomenal—attentive, friendly, and ensured we had everything we needed. She handled our large group with such grace and made us feel like VIPs. The manager, Tanisha, also went above and beyond to check in on us and make sure everything was perfect. Each dish was served family-style, perfectly cooked, and absolutely delicious. And the desserts—oh my goodness! The tiramisu was perfection and the “Titanic” dessert was the perfect grand finale. It was a showstopper that left everyone at the table raving. I honestly can’t say enough amazing things about this dining experience. The food, the service, the ambiance—it was all top-notch. If you’re looking for a place to celebrate or just enjoy a fantastic meal with family or friends, Carmine’s is it. We’ll definitely be back!

Loved this place, our server and everyone working the floor were so nice, even with it being close to closing they didn’t rush us. Only thing I wasn’t a fan of was the drinks/cocktails, they are definitely an acquired taste but it is things I've never tried before so I wouldn’t blame the restaurant, I should’ve asked what the drinks taste like to have an expectation.

Sure! Here’s the revised five-star review including the tasting menu: --- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently celebrated my daughter's 15th birthday, and I cannot express enough how incredible the entire experience was! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel special, welcoming us with warm smiles and excellent service. The atmosphere was perfect for a birthday celebration—classy yet comfortable. The decor was beautiful, setting a wonderful backdrop for our evening. We opted for the tasting menu, and it was simply outstanding! Each dish was a masterpiece, beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. Every bite was a delight, showcasing the talent and creativity of the chefs. The variety of courses kept us excited, and we appreciated the thoughtful pairings that enhanced each dish. Overall, this was an unforgettable evening filled with laughter, joy, and exceptional food. Thank you for making my daughter's birthday so memorable! We will definitely be back for more celebrations in the future!

Service was excellent. Bobby was there so it was a treat to see him overseeing his restaurant. Loved the arancini. Seafood squid ink and shrimp scampi were delicious. Different than what you are use to. Portions are small as they are in Italy. Orange olive cake is a must to try. I wanted to take more home. We will return.

Everything was delicious! We had a fun server who was constantly checking on us, and made excellent suggestions!
