Carmine's Restaurant and Bar

We wanted gluten free and the menu had GF next to what we wanted to order, but we were charged an additional $3 for gluten free. Didn't offer bread with our meal.

This place offers true Italian food. I grew up with my Nonna right off the boat from Italy so I’m normally pretty picky with pasta 🤣 but this place nails it. But the thing that keeps me hooked on this place is the HOUSE MADE ITALIAN SALAD DRESSING. it is absolute crack. I wish they sold it in bottles. I would buy it wholesale 🤣 I love their chicken parm & gluten free penne, it’s my go to. Meatballs are soft and dense like they should be. My kids love the games. And wanted to shout out server Carter - he is a gem - crazy fast service and so friendly. He will go far. Thanks again.

Visited as part of a work group who was in the area for dinner.... Very "run of the mill" decor...nothing special...but that's just fine for this neighborhood joint.... Our server was a young guy who was very friendly and did a good job! I had the Steak Sierra and it was good....but it was steak and (mashed) potatoes! No veg???? I wasn't even suggested to order a salad or a side? We also ordered the calamari as an app....DON'T BOTHER! There was very little actual calamari...and it was mixed in with bits of fried "things" like fried pepperoncinis? The table got a mixture of food and it looked good! The pasta looked great with nice sized portions! Plus....THEY HAD CLEARLY MAKED GLUTEN FREE OPTIONS which is huge as my wife has celiac disease... I hope to stop out again as I'm sure that have some good dishes and having GF options clearly marked is awesome....but there is room for improvement....no doubt..
