1 /5 patrick rooney: Lived in the neighborhood for 3 years and frequent Carmine’s… never been here. Menu was limited. My girlfriend noted that the bread was the best part of the meal. The rest was 5/10 at best. Took 25 minutes just to get a drink order in. We ordered baby romaine and Arancini. The salad had ZERO flavor and the apples were brown. Arancini was decent but not remarkable at all. We were done with apps for 20 minutes before she decided to show back up to take our order for mains.
Entrees were Rigatoni and Carbonara… both were fine but Olive Garden quality, at best.
Server was a middle aged blonde woman with awful glasses and a worse attitude.
We ordered 3 drinks… not because we only wanted 3 drinks, but because she never came back. After the busser had boxed what was left of her food, the bag sat on the table while we were unattended for 30 minutes… at which point the server finally made some time to show up and was shocked to realize we weren’t ordering dessert. Lucky for me, the only tip options were 18, 20 and 25%… awkward while she stood there rushing me through cashing out. Wish I had an option for 0%.
Paid our bill and left.
I live less than 100’ away and will most certainly not return. Awful service and mediocre food.
