    Carmine’s on Penn is absolutely worth visiting on a routine basis. Best if you have a bigger group, 4 should be considered a minimum and 6-8 is ideal due to the nature of family sized servings. What you WON’T get is standard Italian fare. Yes, they have Pasta and Meatballs, Carbonara, Chicken and Veal Parmigiana. That said they have a lot of their own dishes and the “standard fare” they’ve added their flare to it.

    Service was horribly slow and food wasn't as good as it normally is - usually this is a better experience

    New to the neighborhood and walk by all the time. We took the grandkids (10 and 9) and all had a great time. Cesar salad plates were perfectly cold, the salad excellent, the warm bread even better, the cherry Italian cream soda perfect(more soda and less ice would have been better), and the pastas great with enough to take home. And then there were Canolis. The service was excellent. Only one complaint. Put some cushions on the chairs! Fun family evening. Will be back!

    Great food but it was very loud in the back the room. We could hardly hear our own parties conversations

    Went for 2 birthday. 8 people. Service was great. We were in a semi private room so only the few tables near us were a little noisy. Parking can be a challenge.
