“It was amazing. best meal I have ever had.“

“We had the best experience at Carmine! Everyone and everything was amazing!“

“I would recommend going here. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The food was fresh and presented beautifully on our plates. We had a table on the deck outside and it’s was a great view of the boats and the river/ocean. We had a great experience and you won’t be disappointed!“

“The salmon was absolutely the best—cooked perfectly just the way I wanted it! I loved that the skin was served on top since that’s the most nutritious part. Most of the time people just throw it away because it’s on the bottom with nothing on it, but this had a delicious pistachio crust. The asparagus was cooked just right, and the drinks fit both the food and the atmosphere perfectly. I purchased two meals, one to go. Couldn’t leave without ordering a LaRosa to go!“

“We called at the last minute hoping to get a table for two, and the experience was amazing from start to finish. Elisa, one of the sister owners, was incredibly kind and welcoming. She let us choose between two seating options, personally made sure our table was clean and ready, and checked in throughout the evening to ensure we were enjoying our food and leaving happy and full.

Michelle, our bartender, was friendly, attentive, and a pleasure to talk with. She made sure we always had everything we needed.

The food was outstanding. We ordered the Cioppino and the Pasta Antonietta, and both were exceptional. The presentation was beautiful, and the flavor was incredible. Every bite was delicious.

The combination of amazing food and genuine hospitality made this a five star dining experience. We can’t wait to return!“
