    The complimentary brushetta, grana cheese, various breads and fried zucchini were all very nice. The octopus appetizer was fabulous and I really liked that you could order half portions of pasta. The bolognese sauce was the best I’ve had and the veal Marsala was out of this world. Portions were plentiful and service impeccable. Would highly recommend this authentic Italian restaurant. The only negative was the noise level made it difficult to have a conversation.

    Our server Ashley was the nicest, most amazing server I have ever experienced. She catered to all of our needs perfectly and made small talk about our night which helped us a million. It was my birthday and she made my night extra special by providing us with a great experience. The service was amazing. Promote her.

    We have eaten at carmine’s over the years and never been disappointed. This year we had Christmas Eve and Christmas Day dinner at Carmine’s. As in the past we were not disappointed. In fact everything seemed better than in previous years. We highly recommend carmine’s for a real treat in dining experience.

    This place is a hidden gem. I am so happy to have found my new go to restaurant when I'm in Atlantic City. The restaurant has such a great vibe. Old school charm and elegance and beautifully decorated. The views of the ocean were awesome. Our server was very attentive and pleasant. We ordered the chicken cutlet parmigiana which was outstanding, the sauce was authentic and the pasta that was on the side was excellent. What a great place to dine. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try. The prices were very reasonable for Italian restaurants and for the view and for the excellent food that you're gonna get it is definitely worth your while. I will be returning whenever I'm in Atlantic City.
