Carmen's Italian Restaurant & Bar

The place was closed when I arrived at around 8:45pm, but I've heard of good things from family members that ate here previously.

food was amazing, Chef Ali is so personable, he made the experience so much fun. Will def be back to try more of his menu

Fast and friendly service every one there nice and friendly food was very good nice portions had to take some home could not finish everything.

The food is good. Not really a bar person though.

Delicious food at friendly prices!

Nice atmosphere nice employee's

This Bar/Restaurant is Fantastic. It used to be called Della Polla's for many years while I was growing up in Folsom, the next town over. Surprisingly I never visited this place until now which I think is still managed by the same people though I'm not certain. But everything they make is so delicious and a much larger amount than a typical entree anywhere else. I got penne w/vodka sauce and it was made perfectly. And anyone who knows anything about Italian Cuisine knows that it takes a special "know how" to achieve the love that you could taste in this dish. My sister got the same thing and agrees. My brother in-law got the Italian stromboli and it was made perfectly, and served literally on a silver platter (probably stainless steel, but still). The calamari appetizer we ordered was noticeably different than what I'm used to in a good way, as it appeared to be breaded and fried right there in the establishment rather than bought frozen. I Definitely reccomend Carmens so much that I'm going to get it published on my next Google Maps list of "Favorite Places To Go!" If you're in town, check this place out!

Food is fantastic! Service is slow but worth the wait.

Best cheesesteaks around

Best bartender in the world works there on Tuesday nights. Go out and see her. She's a cutie, too.

Ali is a great chef. Food is always good and portions are large.

Nice family oriented place good food nice staff

Heard about it through a friend, decided to try it out. Staff (Renee) was amazing, very courteous and helpful. It was hard to find a decent eggplant parm sandwhich anywhere, but Carmens mase everything from scratch and the sauce wasnt spicy. Definitely our new favorite place!!! Thank you John for your years of food service!!!!

Not sure when they changed ownership but, the food is excellent. Just got take out
