An Unforgettable Meal & Next-Level Service from Doug!If you haven't been to Carmine's yet, make a reservation immediately. The Chicken Parm is absolutely legendary, perfectly crispy, smothered in the most incredible marinara sauce and melted cheese, and portioned generously enough to feed a crowd. It is pure, comforting perfection.But what truly took our dining experience from great to unforgettable was our server, Doug. I have never seen a server so incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about a menu.Here is why Doug is an absolute superstar:He let us in on the two best-kept secrets on the menu, the Pork Chop and the Brick Chicken. He was not wrong! Both were executed flawlessly and are total hidden gems.The Dessert Rainman!! I have never seen a server who has every single dessert completely memorized.The Life-Changer, he recommended the Chocolate Cake and told us with total confidence that it would "change our lives." Well, it sure did, it changed our lives right into a glorious food coma! It was rich, decadent, and the perfect end to the night.Amazing food, massive portions, and top-tier service from Doug. We will definitely be back!

I hosted a baby shower for my daughter yesterday in one of Carmines private rooms. I cannot say enough about how delicious the food was and its presentation. The service provided by Sandra, the events coordinator and our waitstaff Bela and Goldie went above and beyond. Hands down, the best event I ever hosted and I would highly recommend Carmines for your next party.

To be honest I'm pretty hard to please and I have nothing bad to say about my experience there. I got the seabass special and it was to die for as well as all the appetizers including the bruschetta and the mushroom appetizer I think it was a stuffed mushroom. Simply amazing! The mixed drinks were great the waiters and the staff were extremely professional I couldn't get my glass of water to get below half. Amazing place highly recommend it! I will be back!

Our waiter, Noah, was the absolute perfect server. We were a large party and he handled everything without a hitch. The eggplant stack is NOT to be missed and we also truly enjoyed the meatballs with polenta. The Diver Sole was some of the best we have had. Great place.

We always enjoy dining at Carmine’s. The food is excellent, the atmosphere is great, and the service is consistently attentive. The General Manager of Operations, Joe Scalzo, is very personable and often stops by the table to make sure everything is good, which is a thoughtful touch. It’s a place where the whole dining experience comes together nicely.

Shelly was amazing! She was honest and open about the menu and her recommendations! She didn’t miss a beat when it came to food allergies and knew the menu better than I know my own kids! The food was delicious and she was able to pair it with amazing wine while providing good energy and swift service! The music at the restaurant was good not missing a beat with different varieties and up beat temples! I will def be coming back for more and she was right the crab cake was excellent and the rigatoni à la vodka made spicy paired with the perfect meatball didn’t disappoint! She also offered a tip of drinking Pinot Noir and adding a splash of 7 up and I love this idea and as spring is fast approaching I will be adding this to my drink menu as I host get together say home! Shelly deserves a rise a more she was as amazing as the food xoxo

Very good Italian food and portions are big enough to share. The bread is fresh made and tasted amazing! Service was on par. Corkerage charges are very high if you bring your own booze. Food was very fresh and tasty. Chillean seabass was very good!

We were very excited to ring in the new year here. We had read previous reviews, and I confirmed that they would be open and offering a New Year's Eve dinner. What we didn't know was that they closed at 1:00 AM 😔, and since my daughter worked until 10:00 PM, that's why we made the reservation for 11:00 PM. I wish they had told us this beforehand, and we would have changed the reservation, at least so we could have enjoyed the music, which, from what little we heard, was fabulous. This was the only thing that slightly spoiled our New Year's celebration. Aside from this minor inconvenience, I have to highlight the excellent and attentive service from the young man who served us. I didn't catch his name 😔, but if you read this comment, thank you, thank you, thank you for your excellent recommendations, both for the wine I tasted and the food. My family and I enjoyed the dinner, the music, and your attentive service. Happy New Year! 🎇🎇🎇

We had dinner here last night and the food was good but the drinks were something to really rave about. I ordered egg drop soup, the sizzling shrimp dumplings, mongolian beef and tried the new holiday shrimp dish. The shrimp dish lacked in flavor but everything else made up for it. For drinks, we had jade margaritas and they were PERFECT!!! The highlight of our evening was being served by Valerie. She was attentive, kind and very helpful. Her attitude was so pleasant that it made for a wonderful overall experience. We will be back and we will definitely request Valerie for our server.

We really enjoyed this place. Everything was great: the food, the service, the atmosphere. The portion sizes are pretty generous which is always a good thing. The whole restaurant was clean and organized, including the restrooms, which are often a little neglected (in a lot of other places). So big kudos to them. We definitely recommend this restaurant.

Mer friends who were laying over due to air traffic controls. Had a lot of time to share memories with them. This restaurant was fantastic for food, drinks, service and hospitality. Immensely enjoyable time. Noise was low and could have wonderful conversation without having to raise voices. I would definitely go again.
