   Excellent food and service. Our server Alexa was knowledgable and friendly, and we enjoyed her recommendations, especially the meatballs!

   This was our first visit and we really loved everything about Carmine’s! Alexa, our waitress, was wonderful and the food met the hopes of all four of us (each with very discriminating palates!) From the delicious bread and dipping oil, to the arugula salad (large enough for three of us to share), to the Vongole and chicken parm and our granddaughter’s spaghetti and meatballs, everyone loved their food! We will be back!

   We really love this place and will come back. The place has a 90 minute limit- No issues with that, but when it is busy the staff seems to run behind. Our drinks, bread, and food all came out a little bit off. Timing wise. Truly a wonderful spot, but set your expectations for smooth operations at a 50/50.

   Awful experience even though the food was good, 60 minutes to have your drink and eat your appetizer and your dinner entree. After 60 minutes you get bounced out of the restaurant. Hilarious rule to have at a restaurant. Ive been to restaurants that have 90 minute and 2 hour policies but 60 minutes is just ridiculous. Be aware if you go to this place that they will make you uncomfortable if you aren’t eating fast enough. The time limits are on the website which unfortunately I didn’t read… my bad. Read the website so you know in advance what you are getting into. 60 minutes, then the door.

   Superb food. Small but visually attractive space. More noise than my wife's and my old ears can deal with. But the food is so good we'll go back from time to time.

   Food and service was amazing. Disappointed that they don’t offer dessert at an italian restaurant. Otherwise it was great.

   This is a great little restaurant with consistently good Italian dishes and a nice wine list. The servers are also wonderful.

   My experience at the restaurant was fantastic. The staff was great. The oil , garlic and bread was out of this world. My drink was spot on. My only complaint  is that the seating is very uncomfortable. Hard cold and very small. No padding whatsoever on hard cold metal chairs which makes it a little bit difficult trying to enjoy the food. The food itself is fantastic 👌🏻and I plan on going back but once again, I have to say the seating is not comfortable at all. I wish the seating was better and hope they are much improved by the time I go back. Thank you Carmine for a fantastic meal .

    The beet salad was delicious. I especially liked that they sliced the beets thin. The hazelnuts and raisins added to the flavors. The clams with spaghetti was perfect. Not only were there chopped clams but 10 juicy plump clams still in the shells. The spaghetti was al dente as it should be. My husband had veal Milanese and that was also good. We were also very happy with the service.
