This place is famous for a reason. Staff is super welcoming and professional. The ambiance is romantic and clean. Food is delicious and all around a wonderful experience. We got the Caesar salad, Lamb Shank, Lasagna, and hazelnut bookie cake. All were fantastic and a great experience. Definitely worth the price tag in one of Seattle’s most popular restaurants.

Angie our server was attentive and engaging! Food was great.

Wonderful place. Server was great and everything came out timed very well. The half price Washington wine bottles on Monday is an incredible deal. And the view…a great experience.

I am a long time fan and customer of Carmine’s restaurants. I still go to the original Seattle location. But I also love the Bellevue location as well.. It is all not just good, it’s exceptional! Food, service, atmosphere, and overall ambience are of the highest quality. Truly a special place.
