Reviews for Carmine's Italian Restaurant - Upper West Side in Atlantic City, NJ

Family style Italian decadence. I've eaten at four of their locations and it is top notch. Recommend almost any dish. Desserts... are a spectacle. Just remember that family style means that portions are intended for multiple people to share. So don't bescared by the prices. The value here is almost impossible to beat Read more

Absolutely amazing! Our server was impeccable, a woman named Marie D. As an old 100% Italian, I was very impressed with the... flavors and the ambiance of Atlantic City’s location. Very clean & comfortable. We ordered the Pomadoro sauce, fresh basil &plum tomatoes with prosciutto & bay leaves flavors were perfect,(gluten-free) pasta & a meatball. At first we only ordered theone, to try… it was love! We ordered 2 more meatballs. From start to finish was absolutely delicious. Bravo! Definitely goingback! Ask for Marie D. Read more

Pretty dang good! Came here for a celebratory dinner with 9 other people. We had a reservation but still had to wait a little,... though it wasn’t too long. Our waiter was also very nice and answered our questions patiently. I didn’t get to tryeverything on the table, but the garlic and oil pasta is always fantastic here! They also had great cocktails. My favorite part,however, was the chocolate torte. Holy cow! We ordered the ‘Titanic’ ???? dessert, which came with a bunch of stuff loadedon the chocolate torte (which I believe you can order separately.) Maybe I expected dry chocolate cake, I don’t know. But itwas ANYTHING BUT. It was creamy and rich, almost like a ganache. Definitely for the chocolate lovers out there!! Based on thisalone I’d recommend Carmine’s ???? But the experience overall was nice. We dined very late so we couldn’t complain aboutthem running out of bread or espresso cups. And honestly, because it’s a family style restaurant, the price per person cameout to a very reasonable amount. An entree, for example, is usually shared between 3 people and could cost around $36. You couldhave a very nice affordable meal here if you come with a group! Definitely recommend it. My only complaint was that the bathroomwas so far away. It’s on the first floor, towards the back, down the hall, and to the right. If you’re on the second floor,you have a bit of a trek to get there. Just an FYI for those with mobility issues - you might want to opt for the first floordining area! Read more

We were really hungry after a full day at the pool, and had no reservation, but were seated in the bar area immediately, without... any wait. The bartender is on top of his game - very accommodating, friendly, and the drinks were top notch ???? One of thebetter shrimp cocktails - shrimp was firm, flavorful, perfectly chilled - 5 stars Ideally seasoned stuffed mushrooms, absolutelydelicious. And they served like 9 or 10 mushrooms - all portions are humongous ???????? Chicken marsala entree was servedliterally on a plate that's the size of the tray! Could be the whole catering size dish almost ???? Not to mention, it wasabsolutely delectable. 6 stars and will be back! Read more

We had two kinds of pasta - veal and shrimp scampi. Per serving is pretty large that is suitable for 2-4 people according to the... staff. However for us party of five are stuffed with loads of pasta lol, we didn’t even finish them. Veal tastes like porkloin different from what we were expected. Could be a place for family or large group. Staff is attentive and simpática. Read more

Goodness!!! Carmine's was impeccable from the wonderful host at the entrance, the ambiance of the venue, the soft music in the... background, and an amazing waiter named Chris! The food was AMAZING and portions you won't believe! We ordered the ChickenParmigiana, and amazing mixed green salad! The bread snd rolls are such a weakness here.. This experience was top notch! I willbe going again for sure! Read more

I stayed in AC for a week with my Bestie and her two daughters. We worked a fully remote schedule at the time and decided to... take advantage of it. We worked from our room during the day and spent the rest of our day shopping and eating???????? Carmineswas on our list of places to visit. I don’t have to tell you they didn’t disappoint us. The only down side was we had tomake early reservation to be sure we got a table. The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered the rosemary infused wings,lasagna and Cesar salad. EVERYTHING was delicious. I’m suppose to go to the NYC location soon and I know it will be anothergreat experience Read more

I love Carmines in NYC. Don't care for Carmines in DC and was eagerly anticipating my Friday night birthday visit to this... location after moving nearby 2 years ago. I had My usual, Porterhouse garnished with full size sausages (4) apotatoes/onions/peppers. It's a battleship sized Platter baby! My gal had a great Rigatoni Country Style pasta dish that weenjoyed while my Medium well beast was being broiled. The platter was brought out by the kitchen manager who planned on givingus some helpful instruction but I assured him I was very familiar. It was incredible. Close to the original NYC in taste whichis a very good thing. (DC shape up!) Its really enough food for 4 and a doggie bag. The entire experience was A+. We hadreservations and was seated right away. Staff is plentiful and top notch. By boat was a $150 price tag but it was worth everypenny. I plan to eat steak all weekend. I highly recommend this if you are one who appreciates quality food, massive portionsand expert staff. Read more
