Very sweet place! This was my first time at Carmines. I took my sister in law from out of state. I got the muscle littleneck app. Unfortunately they were not fresh.at all. Waitstaff amazing! My sister-in-law’s steak was good. Would go back for sure.

Food was excellent as always. One of the best chicken marsala dishes around and great drinks. Service felt like they were pushing us out a bit about an hour before they closed.

My girlfriend and I loved the food and our waiter was great. We also loved the look of the place, even their outdoor dinning area was nice. Plan on definitely going back.

We had Emily as our server, she was friendly and very attentive! We came for pizza Monday and the pizza was so perfectly cooked, the crust was fluffy and soft & there was the perfect amount of sauce, cheese and toppings 😍 Overall experience 10/10

My wife and I went out to Carmine's for our anniversary. She had been wanting to go here for a long time. The service was great, but she was disappointed in her meal which was scallops on a bed of cornbread. It was just ok. Not a lot of flavor and the cornbread was dry. I had the flatbread pizza which was delicious. My wife ordered the tiramisu for dessert and was really disappointed. It is her favorite dessert, but this one was very dry and had no flavor. She regretted her meal choices and wished she had tried an Italian dish or the lobster ravioli and the chocolate volcano for dessert. Maybe next time....if we go back again.

Very good food; but small portions. Prices on the higher side. Service very good and timed well. A bit noisy, so if you are looking for a quiet restaurant this isn’t it.
