We reserved a large table for a birthday celebration. There was most definitely a staffing issue - one person serving the entire dining room. It took hours to get our food. The food quality was reasonable, not spectacular. Our waiter tried his best, but he could only do so much.

Carmine's is well-known as one of the best restaurants in Ybor. The food - ranging from salads or cuban sandwiches, to crab pasta or shrimp piccata - is delicious, fresh, and unique to the Tampa area's culture. The server was attentive and even my somewhat picky parents were pleasantly surprised with the meal. The only (minor) downside was that it's not at all a quiet place to enjoy your meal, probably still one of the most chill places to eat in Ybor, so if you're looking for some outstanding food to start a night out in the area and aren't looking for a romantic candlelight ambiance, this is a great place to go. Also, my cocktails were perfect and less expensive than I was expecting.

We went there to try their cuban sandwich, which my husband ordered and loved, but I had a hankering for a meatball sandwich to go along with my malbec. The malbec was good, not the best, but the meatball sandwich was really good. Very well seasoned and extra dipping sauce. It was nice of the waitress to ask if I wanted cheese on it. My husband had the red velvet cheesecake, which was nice to see a smaller portion and I went for the sweet plantains, which were a little greasier than what I am used to, but nothing a little dabbing on a napkin won't hurt.

The menu is slightly confused. There is a blend of Spanish/Italian items and then American fare to appease the masses. Think if they stuck with one theme the menu would stand out a little more. Food was cooked well though and tasty, so you'd go more so to enjoy the cool atmosphere in Ybor while not worrying about getting mugged.

We book a Yelp reservation and we're seated ahead of time at a great table viewing the street with lots of folks enjoying Ybor City. Matthew provided excellent service! Devil Crabs and fantastic Cubans exceeded our expectations!! Just like our five previous visits!
