- LLisaVIPChicago / Illinois •27 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe had a great lunch! Everything was delicious. Service was exceptional. Some of us had not been there before. Our waiter did a wonderful job walking us through the menu and highlighting their specialties. The restaurant was beautiful and comfortable. We enjoyed the calamari and the meatballs to start. Both were delicious! We split the antipasto salad (also really good). All entrees were delicious and the portions are very large. You won’t leave hungry! We all had leftovers. Can’t wait to come back!More infoCarmine's RosemontPrice: Expensive• Italian• Rosemont•4.6

In fact, there are plenty of high-end dining establishments where you can enjoy meat and vegetable dishes that are difficult to find elsewhere.
