    This place is amazing, from the ambience to the delicious food and the wonderful staff. The menu is very versatile. There are so many choices. Everything was incredible! If you love meatballs try them for an appetizer. They are some of the best we have ever had. One of the best experiences dining at a restaurant. So beautifully decorated for the holidays Thank you Carmine’s for such a wonderful evening.

    The atmosphere is great. We go to this restaurant for anniversaries and birthdays. The calamari appetizer is a winner. We had steak and seared ahi. Both were excellent and beautifully presented. Highly recommended for special occasions. We missed the Christmas boat parade but have seen it in prior years.
