   Good service, food ok but other Italian restaurants have upped their game, serving lighter more innovative fare.

   Good food; a bit pricey. Casual dining…I think I was expecting it to be a little more upscale at that price point. Good service. Overall a lovely casual dining experience.

   We once visited Carmine's regularly but hadn't there in two years. Sadly, we will never come back. Our family favorite for many years has been the spinach salad, which was described as "Spinach leaf tossed with carrots, red onions, red cabbage, cucumbers, sweet grape tomatoes, roasted red peppers, gorgonzola cheese, croutons, olive oil and balsamic vinegar." The salad we were served bore no resemblance to what we once enjoyed. The only ingredients included were the spinach, red onions, the dressing, and strawberries! Strawberries? Luckily, the pear salad we ordered was as advertised. When the family came here in years past we each ordered an entree and were advised that the portions were so large, we should not do that. Each entree was either for 2 people or 4. We chuckled at the servers, explaining we wanted to take home a lot of leftovers, which we always did. NO MORE THE CASE! Portion control has come to Carmine's. The two ravioli dishes we ordered were barely enough to feed one person; the Bolognese the same. Only my entree (meatballs in vodka sauce) merited a take-home box. On the plus side, the service was friendly and attentive, as always, but our evening was made even more disappointing by the fact we were seated in a small room along with a party of twelve, who created so much noise we couldn't hear one another speaking. To say we were dissatisfied is an understatement. If you remember the "old" Carmine's on Penn, you will likely be as disappointed as we were when you return.

   Carmine's On PennGereageerd op 28 januari 2023Dear Peter, Please accept our sincere apologies for your disappointing dining experience you had recently. The spinach salad has changed over the past year which needs to be updated on our website. There should have been 12 pieces of ravioli in one family size order. Large parties can be tricky with the noise levels they emit. We certainly do appreciate you letting us know how much you were let down. We continue to strive through the many challenges we continue to face.

   Great service, very friendly staff, really good food, dinner was a little pricy, and parking is really difficult in this area on busy nights, but definitely a restaurant worth checking out in Denver for good Italian. Would recommend and will be back!

   Good, reliable Italian restaurant with slightly above average food, nice ambiance, and great for large parties where family style dishes are desired. Very overpriced for what you get but such is life these days. Overall worth a try but nothing extraordinary.

    We had a reservation at 5:00pm, and we were immediately seated when we arrived. We ordered 2 appetizers, as well as our entire Salad, Pasta, and Main. While waiting for our appetizers, we noticed the waiter walking around casually, with his hands in this pockets, as if he was just hanging out. Others tables were beginning to receive the appetizers. Caught up in conversation, we waited 45 minutes before asking the wait staff about our Bruschetta and Antipasti Misti appetizers. We were informed that the computer had issues, and they were working on it. We were also told the waiter had entered the dinner as a 4 course meal, not sure that should have caused a 45 minute delay. After asking, the food began to arrive at a steady pace, up until the Pasta and Mains. We ordered Pasta Carbonara, Sausage and Peppers, and Chicken Parmesan. The Pasta and Sausage arrived, but we had to wait for the Chicken to arrive 10 minutes later. This made it difficult to enjoy the main meal when only the sides had arrived. The final issue we had was when the waiter decided to run our card for +$104.00 more than the bill he dropped off. We immediately contacted the manager. She was very receptive and apologized for the service and overcharge. She corrected the overcharge and compensated us accordingly. The food was delicious, the manager was on point, but the wait staff will need to change before I go back.

    Carmine's On PennGereageerd op 12 januari 2023Joe: We sincerely regret the service you experienced when dining with us recently. Although we have kitchen staff newly hired and the computer in the kitchen which prints the orders had, in fact, malfunctioned, you should have been properly communicated with by your server. We appreciate you taking the time to share your comments with us. These have been appropriately forwarded to Carmine's management team.

    Carmine’s on Penn serves up everything you want in quality Italian cuisine. An amazingly tiny kitchen produces bountiful amounts of delicious food that is served with a smile. Our server made suggestions that were spot on and no one in my party was left unsatisfied. I recommend this restaurant without hesitation.

    Seemed like a nice clean place, very busy, we had to wait awhile for everything except to be seated. We had reservations. In my opinion, having to order the same thing for everyone at the table was unusual and I thought that the menu was very limited. Yes, your options were order for 2 or for a family. Period..

    Carmine's On PennGereageerd op 28 december 2022Dear Hank, Family-style with food meant to share has been our concept for 28 years. Having over 40 items on our menu excluding dessert, we trust you found some dishes that your table enjoyed. Thank you for dining with us.

    The food was great !! Felt the lights were too bright. There were 4 of us- we tried to order 2 meals for 2 which =4. But were told that wouldn't be enough; and to order family style which was much pricier. So maybe don't say on menu the dish serves 2ppl.

    Everything was excellent except the service. I assumed they were short staffed on waiters/waitresses because our waiter seemed to be the only waiter for several rooms. But every time I went to look for him to take our order, get water or get the check, he was standing and chatting with other servers.

    Food is delicious. Hats off to the kitchen team. Small antipasto plate is excellent with a variety of textures and flavors. Shared ceased salad is expensive for what you get, but the dressing is house made and the greens are fresh. Entrees were cooked flawlessly, served temperature perfect, on-time, and tasted authentic. Service was relaxed and welcoming if not a tad underperformed and too familiar.

    I had not been to Carmine's for about twenty years, and decided to bless my youngest child with a special birthday celebration at a place where his late father and I had many happy memories. Pasta is his favorite food, so Carmine's seemed the obvious choice. My elderly folks, my brother, and another one of my five children joined us for dinner. The ambience and service were excellent, and the salad was cold and crisp. However, the 5 different pasta dishes we ordered were lackluster at best and overpriced for the volume of food we received. The two GF dishes we ordered were obviously not 100% GF (and the noodles were some sort of cheap, chewy brand), as both my son and I were sick all last night and this morning. I'm so deeply disappointed and a bit embarrassed, as it was a big sacrifice for me as a single mother to bless my youngest son in this way. We also drove 40 min each way, too, and he had been looking forward to it for a month. Such a frustrating evening, and I'm just sick about the $275 I spent on such a bad experience.

    Carmine's On PennGereageerd op 6 december 2022Karen, Our sincere apologies for such a frustrating experience you had when recently dining with us. We too are embarrassed. We certainly do strive to avoid cross contamination when preparing GF pasta. The product we use is imported from Italy and is priced considerably higher than our regular pasta. Our servers are knowledgeable when it comes to the sauce preparation (GF or not) but it appears that communication was lacking that evening. Your message has been forwarded to our management team.
