Overall food was good and service was a little slow. Waited a long time for minor requests. One managers found our child’s bag outside of the wait area that she accidentally left behind. That made the service worth the wait.

Always a good time! I visit at least 4-5 times a year when I’m in town and I’m never disappointed! (Update) this was our first time having the “salmon oreganata” and we were truly impressed. We also had a picture of red sangria, stuffed artichoke and fried calamari.

There were eight of us in our party. We had a wonderful time, and were celebrating a birthday. The entire restaurant got involved in singing happy birthday. It was a wonderful experience.

We arrived 15 minutes early and were sat on time. It's extremely loud, in fact so loud you can't hear the wait staff tell you it's family style and just about nothing is in normal portions. The menu's are all online as well, but because it's very loud conversing with the staff is impossible. The mountain of food was delicious, we ate it for 2 days after. Would I go back, perhaps with a party of 6 people. Only visit the bar if you're a party of 2. This is a place that requires planning ahead. Wait staff was prompt and tables are cleared fast for turnover. Expect staff eyeballs on you looking to see when your table will open up.

Carmine's never fails to serve an outstanding meal at a decent price. Our server was outstanding and the quality as well as the quantity was terrific. If you love family style Italian food this is the place for it. We particularly loved the hot antipasto with the variety food on it. We were there with a party of 7, one of whose birthday it was and we had a wonderful time.
