About Carmine

Carmine is a highly acclaimed Italian restaurant that offers a delightful dining experience. The eggplant, linguine and clams, short rib bolognese, and chicken parmesan are among the standout dishes that have earned the restaurant a reputation for serving some of the best Italian food in the area. The intimate setting and excellent cocktails and appetizers further contribute to the overall enjoyment of the meal. The quality of the food and the attentive, personable staff make Carmine a must-visit destination for those seeking authentic Italian cuisine.

Customers have described the food as "phenomenal" and "obsessed with the Exploding Clams in rich broth and delicious enormous Veal parmesan over a unique homemade pasta". The small size of the restaurant with brick walls and low lighting creates a cozy, personable atmosphere, and the bar area is particularly popular for providing a more intimate dining experience. The restaurant is known for its amazing food, including the shrimp appetizer, meatball appetizer, Arugula (chicken) Milanese, and the Crazy Alfredo.

While the prices are slightly higher than the average Italian restaurant, the quality of the food and the attentive service make it a worthwhile investment. The restaurant does charge a separate $3 fee for the kitchen crew, which some customers have found to be an unexpected and unwelcome addition to their bill. Despite this, the restaurant remains a popular destination for those seeking an authentic and delightful Italian dining experience.
