In a restaurant with such a large selection of food, the chef couldn't not accommodate a small request of serving a small bowl of white rice and plain chicken for a sick guess. It was disappointing. The rest of my party spoke highly of the food.

What an amazing experience! We received everything we requested and more. The staff was very attentive and professional. If you are looking for a place with quality service and vibes, Carmines is the place to go. The private room gave me and my guests the opportunity to strategize, reflect without any addiitional noise. The attendant, unfortunately I cannot remember his name was all about good service. He ensured we received everything we needed and more.

I had 18 girls celebrating their homecoming there this past weekend. Hands down best time! Best age appropriate food; they are 15 & 16. The staff treated us like gold. My husband and I had to be in Building because they are under 18. 100000000% recommend!

Carmine’s is massive..like, they definitely got room for you and your whole friend group plus your ex’s new boo. We made a reservation and got seated right away, so props for that. But then we sat there for like ten minutes before anyone even said hi. Not a dealbreaker, just kinda awkward.
Everything here is family style, so don’t go wild ordering unless you’re tryna feed a small army. We got the Caesar salad, meatball appetizer, broccoli with sausage, and rigatoni. Portions? Insane. We couldn’t even finish it and ended up boxing half of it like true survivors.
Food-wise, it was pretty solid. The meatballs were bussin for real, salad was fresh, pasta was hitting. Not life-changing, but you’ll leave full and happy.
Now the service… yeah, not it. Our waiter vanished like he was in witness protection. Some random server dropped off our food, and we barely saw our actual guy again. Felt kinda weird for a place that fancy-looking.
Overall, Carmine’s is that “go with a group and laugh too loud” kinda spot. Big vibes, huge portions, average service. Still worth it if you’re tryna carb-load and don’t mind chasing your waiter down like you’re in a side quest.

Had a gin martini and burrata and tomatoes at the bar, and that was a sufficiency. Burrata was very good; was topped with some basil pesto kinda stuff. The tomatoes were under-ripe factory tomatoes, though, not those nice juicy organic ones you get at the farmer's market, so that was a little disappointing. Are tomatoes out of season already?

Portions were huge best way to order is to get one dish for two or 2 dishes for 4.
They offer free bread and olive oil for the table.
They upcharge on my ravioli because I got meat sauce ( I wasn’t aware until later) so be careful with up charges.
Pricey: our total for two plates+ one soda was $105

We had a large group of 14 on a busy Friday night, and they handled everything incredibly well. Service was great, friendly and attentive, and the food was excellent. Keeping 14 people happy is a tall order, and Carmine's rose to the task. From the stuffed mushrooms to the canolli, everything was spot on.

Great restaurant with a great staff! Food was great and our kiddos loved it! Definitely can share one food choice with 4-6 ppl!
Food was excellent! It was quite cold in the restaurant and we were told that was in preparation for the dinner rush. We did have to wait a bit for our server to bring the bill and ended up walking to the front to get help. Overall good experience and will return.
Awful. Food good. Management judgement atrocious. Large drunk noisy table of 10 people in one section of restaurant, and every group that came in was seated right next to them - while 3/4 of restaurant in other sections were empty. That table was actually screaming jokes and top of lung laughter. All other groups including ours were mortified. I called manager over to complain but she just made excuses for them It ruined what should have been a nice dinne.r
