- TTracyCalgary / Southern Alberta •14 reviews5.0Dined on 16 Dec 2024Absolutely LOVED our first time at Carmines! From the service to the food everything was spectacular. It felt like we were part of the family and not only did Sarah, our sever, make sure we were well taken care of but everyone else who took our plates or tidied our table was so attentive and friendly. Definitely one of those core memory experiences. 10/10 Carmines…we will see you again :)More infoCarmine's - 91st Street - NYCPrice: Expensive• Italian• Upper West Side•4.6

- EEdwardGreater Boston •7 reviews4.0Dined on 17 Nov 2024Such satisfying food, it makes you feel cared for and relaxed. It was loud but in part because there was a large party of 20’s who were having a wonderful group dinner. We could talk at our table. But the food was terrific.More infoHavana HeightsPrice: Moderate• Cuban• Washington Heights•4.4
