I was pleasantly surprised by Carmine’s given its location in a tourist area. The pasta was cooked al dente and chicken parm still had its crisp from the fryer and just enough sauce. Portions are for 2-4 ppl. Service was very attentive. Highly recommend for a family or group meal.

Our group enjoyed the food, ambiance, and service at this restaurant. I give extra points to the staff, who were very attentive at the door, at the table, and at the bar as we ordered takeout for our colleagues who could not make the lunch meeting. Thank you!
