Carmine's never disappoints. The food is delicious, and as long as you know their family style portions are huge, you will enjoy it! Great for a group, I didn't understand seeing couples having dinner there - as each platter is gigantic. Make a reservation, it is always packed and walking in doesn't typically work to securing a table.

Neither their website nor the menu nor the server indicated that this white sauce is not actually a sauce but just garlic oil. When food got on the table and we asked, they said that they are southern Italian cuisine and that they don’t use anything except garlic oil and that’s their sauce. I gave them the advice that they should clearly specify that on website, menu and via server as not all of their customers may understand and know between southern and northern Italian cuisine differences in what is white sauce. The server and manager were both very defensive and I am sure they are not going to do anything associated with my recommendation. For the charges we pay and for the reputation they carry, I was completely disappointed. Not going there again for sure. Neither will be my large family and friends
