I’ve wanted to visit Carmine’s forever. Finally got it done. It has an extremely beautiful interior which is very appealing. I chose a high table at happy hour because I was told the food portions were HUGE, but more manageable. I ordered the lasagna which was incredible! I had to take it to go it was so much. My friend had spaghetti which was also outstanding. We also had fried calamari and stuffed mushrooms. The only thing that sucked was our server (Mauricio). He totally forgot us. He was too busy flirting with the ladies at the bar. He first got aspects of our order wrong. I had to find someone else to fix it because he was MIA. He never returned so we had to ask for the check and to-go boxes when it was time to leave from other staff after waiting 20 minutes. I hope he at least got a phone number.

First time dining and didn’t realize it’s family style but luckily I’m old enough to sit at the bar where smaller portions are offered. Ordered the Rigatoni with Broccoli and Sausage with a Red Sauce. It was a busy Saturday night and the food took longer to arrive than I’d have liked but once it did I was instantly impressed and very satisfied with the meal. Also worth mentioning that the service at the bar was exceptional and truly professional.

Had a great time at Carmines. We had Darryl as our server and he was amazing. He was very attentive, got the bread and drinks quickly, and made recommendations. The only 4 I gave was the atmosphere as the restaurant used to have a demeanor of no plain clothes and we saw many people coming in with t shirts, v necks, sport shorts and flip flops. Just want to make sure that Carmines keeps the class it always has. I will always recommend this to anyone as the food is great and one meals serves 3. We got the shrimp and white sauce and it was amazing.

Chain Italian family style restaurant. The garlic bread, salad, and penne a la vodka were good. The chicken parmasean was on a bed of noodles that still had quite a bit of pasta water and the tomato sauce tasted of plain canned tomatoes. For the price, there are significantly better places with more delicious and comforting food. For a big group that isn’t going for the food, the ambiance is perfect. The staff were also friendly and accommodating. The service ware wasn’t as clean as expected— two wine glasses still had stains of red wine residue coating the glasses, and the water pitcher had a piece of lettuce stuck on the inside.

So much food. Serve many portions. The courses were a great variety, salads, muscles, shrimp, fish, pasta, lasagne, fresh fruit, dessert, beverage. All you could eat. Went as a group to celebrate graduation. Servers were awesome, attentive and made sure we had extra portions if we wanted. Would highly recommend even though price per person was $70. It was worth it.

We never heard about Carmine’s so we decided on a whim to visit the restaurant. Talk about lucky! The idea of the menu is that you share the meals with the people at your table. Normally we’re not really into that but sure: why not for a change? We were warned by our FANTASTIC waiter Kevin that the plates would be big. He was almost correct: they were HUGE! We had the lasagne and this could easily feed 3 people. The concept of sharing your meal was actually really nice and it helped set the mood for a nice family meal. Although we were quite full we were surprised by an equally huge dessert which was called the boat I think. It turned out there really is always room for ice cream. A lovely cake at the bottom with vanilla and chocolate ice on top of it, whipped cream on top of that and some strawberries and chocolate sauce. Mmmm!!! Absolutely delicious! Last but certainly not least I have to mention that the toilets were the first clean ones I encountered in DC. I highly recommend this great restaurant!

The food at Carmine’s is amazing. It’s a family-style restaurant that cares about what they serve their customers and it shows. I have been at the one in NYC and the one in DC and they are both 5-star to me. If you like Italian food this is the place for you.

Family-size portions of great food. Definitely try to go with a group of at least 3 people or you will have days worth of leftovers. Charles became our de facto tour guide and was an excellent server!

Charles was absolutely amazing. He really made us feel special and talked to us about the different wines we were considering, recommended his favorite for a reasonable price, and made us feel like family. The food was amazing and we will have leftovers for days!!
