My niece and I were so exhausted by the traffic jam in NY and CT. We found it after 8:30pm. We were wondering if they serve this late but the server was very friendly. No other customers were there but our experience was surprisingly good. The food was delicious and the portion was big. We enjoyed the food and recommend anyone who visit New Haven.

How disappointing when I came into town to bring my mother& family for her 90th birthday celebration I privately asked the waiter to bring some thing for dessert with a candle in it regardless, if anyone ordered dessert, and this was completely forgotten, very disappointing

Just had a couple of appetizers. No good. Calamari Siciliano was just a soggy mess. Apparently the “chef” doesn’t get it. Stuffed Portobello was a scoop of cold stuffing on a raw mushroom cap with some unidentifiable sauce. Got de-appetized. No beer on tap? Unprofessional service.

Carmine's is a hidden gem. Our server Jonathan was on point. The place was nicely decorated for the holidays. House made butter, bread and sauces. Beautiful staff, excellent food and service. Thank you Miguel & Luis!

Super customer service, fantastic cocktails and delicious buffet styled 90th birthday dinner!..would definitely hold an event with Carmines di Vega!!
This place is old school ambience but the food is amazing! I stop here on my way from NY to Boston when the traffic is unbearable, and they never disappoint!! The chef goes out of his way to accommodate your needs!! I wanted clams instead of mussels in a white wine sauce, delicious! And I can’t eat cream so the Chef made me Salmon with a puttanesca sauce!! Soooo good! And the service is amazing!! Can’t wait to come back!!Vegetarian options: The Chef will make you something!
Recommended dishes: Calamari Fritti, Escarole Bean Soup, House Salad, Pasta with Marinara Sauce

Ct has some of the best Italian food. This place did not disappoint. My 95 year old grandfather and his best friend, and 82 year old Italian American, found this spot on the way back from an appointment. They have been telling me about it for 10 months- and it was so worth it! We came in when they weren't busy, only a few other people. Fast service, not talkative but still friendly, and everything came quickly. On to the food:The calamari is it we loved it.The salmon was fantastic, although there were a few more bones than I liked. Soup and chicken were great too! Do yourself a favor and check this place out!

Best tomato sauce I’ve ever had. The sauce is phenomenal! Everything is very fresh and delicious. High quality homemade bread and salad included in the dishes. Really made the food wonderful. I usually get takeout because I’m too busy to dine in, but this food is spectacular every time! ?

When we walked in for the first time, we were taken in by the beautiful ambiance. We sat by a window where the outside plants framed the window and were well maintained, including real green grapes. The window made me feel like I was sitting in Italy, with Italian-style decor and music. Aiden, our server could not have been more excellent, accommodating our every need.The food and wine were excellent, with large portions. And, the price of our bill was very reasonable for what we ordered.We hope more people visit because it was worth our visit, and we know others will also feel the same.
