- HHowardWest Palm Beach •14 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoGreat family style Italian restaurant experience. We had dinner in one of the little side rooms which added an unexpected degree of intimacy. Shrimp fra diablo was excellent, along with the Caesar salad, and the garlic toast. But the dessert was the best— the Titanic is unforgettable! Excellent service complemented well the exceptionally excellent food.More infoCarmine's - Washington DCPrice: Moderate• Italian• Penn Quarter•4.5
- RRachelLos Angeles •17 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoFood was so amazingly good, from the roasted cauliflower to the tender and flavorful steak. The service was friendly and helpful, modifying the chef's menu for our vegetarian with shellfish allergy guest. And the overall enviroment was warm, welcoming, and cozy. My only complaint is that the experience is so good that no one wants to leave their tables! Like a great family dinner.
