Manager Mike came over and greeted our table and asked if he can do anything for us and make sure we were happy. That was a nice touch. Our waiter Branley was excellent. He was all smiles and allowed us to eat at our own pace. And took time to actually chat with us. Of course the food is always abundant and delicious. Carmines salad is tops and you can never be disappointed with the Chicken Parm!

Huge portions, great service, food (salmon, fettuccine and mussels with white sauce ) flavorless. Price too expensive for quality. Price must cover quantity not quality.

We love coming here but I must say whoever the chef was Sunday night and cooked the Chicken Scarpiella, it was by far the best we ever had. We always get this dish, but Sunday it was Superb. Flavored and cooked to perfection. Our waitress was wonderful and the rest of the food was delicious. Ceasar salad , Veal parm and Lasagna. The only thing is I like the crusty Italian bread over the foccacia. Although the foccacia was good, the crusty Italian brings the dinner together. Thank you. We will be back. Next time we will save room for dessert 🍨 🥧 .

The taste wasn’t there, the porterhouse steak was over salted - $140 and it was bad. Atmosphere great, food quality was very disappointing. However, dessert was excellent

We had to ask for bread which came eventually. The waitress disappeared after we put in the food order. The salad was tasteless, the fra diavlo sauce with shrimp was okay, the white clam sauce had no clams and no sauce, the pasta was dry. No drink refills were offered. It was a birthday celebration which I mentioned when I booked the reservation but there was no acknowledgement of that fact. The waitress finally showed up to hand us the check. Horrible pricey dinner!!
