Carmine's Italian Restaurant in Washington D.C. is a spacious establishment with friendly front desk staff who are happy to accommodate special requests. The service is generally good, although the main server may sometimes have a strong smell of cigarette smoke.
The food is expensive but the portions are very large, making it a better value for larger groups. It is recommended to share a few dishes among many people, as individual portions may be too much to finish.
The bread appetizer is average, but the herbed and red sauce bread are standouts. The ragu main course features tender and flavorful meat. The chocolate bread pudding is a popular dessert option, with a crunchy exterior and gooey interior. The zucchini fritters are also a favorite, and can serve several people.
The service can be hit or miss, with some guests reporting the need to ask for basic items like bread. However, the restaurant is known for its quick service and delicious, family-style dishes that are perfect for large groups. The atmosphere is casual and comfortable, and the overall value is considered excellent given the quality of the food.
