The food was not good. It was very loud. The wine was actually bad. I have never left a bad review before but feel compelled in this case. I do not recommend this place. Olive Garden would have kicked Carmine’s butt. Our waitress was very nice though.

Sure! Here's a review you can use for Carmine’s Atlantic City: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Unforgettable Italian Feast at Carmine’s Atlantic City If you're looking for a truly authentic Italian dining experience in Atlantic City, Carmine’s is the place to go. From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed with warmth and professionalism by an incredible staff who treat you like family. What stood out the most to me was the freshness of every single ingredient—you can taste the quality in every bite. Whether it’s the crisp vegetables, rich sauces, or perfectly cooked pasta, Carmine’s delivers excellence across the board. One dish I highly recommend is the rigatoni with Bolognese sauce. It’s absolutely outstanding—hearty, flavorful, and comforting. The sauce is slow-cooked to perfection, and the rigatoni is always al dente. Whether you're visiting with family or a group of friends, Carmine’s generous portions and vibrant atmosphere make it the perfect spot for a memorable meal. I’ll definitely be back!
