I ordered the Veal Marsala-it was very tasty and tender. My wife ordered Linguine and clams. She said the clams were very tender and the sauce was delicious The best she has had in NC!
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 7/22/2009 - Great Food, Nice AtmosphereThe pizza is probably the best in the Chapel Hill area. The ingredients seem real fresh and the sauce is incredible. I have only dined in once but it was a great experience. The dish was fresh and full of flavor. The atmosphere is suitable for causal and more formal dining, so it pretty much works for any occasion. Waitstaff are nice and attentive. Prices are reasonable. High recommended Italian ...
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 5/30/2009 - Delicious PizzaThe crust and ingredients of their pizza are like no other in the area. I ordered the vegetable pizza and the margherita pizza and both were delicious. The prices are very reasonable too. Highly recommended!!!
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 4/11/2009 - a rare gem tucked away in the corner of Eastgate shopping mallFrom the first time eating at Carmine's I knew I would be back many times. The food is so full of flavor and yet very light and fresh. I especially loved Darius' signature Carbonara, spaghetti tossed with sauteed pancetta, onions and peas in a rich cream sauce. I've been back and had the Margarita pizza, which is in all it's simplicity, amazing. From the fresh basil and fresh mozzarella to the th...
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 3/28/2009 - Great meal and atmosphere for the price!I have enjoyed Italian restaurants in Cary (eg, Biaggi's, Vespa, Bella Napoli), and Casalinga in Raleigh. This was by far the best Italian meal for the price of any I have tried in the Triangle.! The atmosphere was clean and modern. I expected more of a modern day pizzeria meal, but felt the meal quality far exceeded my expectations. The ingredients were fresh, the cheeses, the tomatoes, the pas...
Read More On Citysearch dukedarling 3/27/2009 - Used to be good--But NO MORE! Never again!We were impressed by our first visit to Carmine's and I mistakenly raved about it to many people--including my boss. After receiving two shockingly negative reports back about it in a row, we went a third time and experienced what my boss and another friend had. The service was shockingly horrible. As another person on here reports--food is delivered to other tables but wasn't to ours. We were th...
Read More On Citysearch comfortandjoy 3/25/2009 - Good Italian In Chapel HillWhether you get Eggplant Parmigiana, Spaghetti, Lasagne, Pizza, Calzone or Stromboli, it's going to taste very good. The prices are very reasonable, the wine selection is ample. The staff are absolutely wonderful. They always remember us and where we sit, and believe it or not, what we like to drink! Everyone that work there is always so friendly. I would definitely recommend Carmine's to anyone ...
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 3/22/2009 - Best Italian Food in Chapel HillMy husband and I have been to Carmine's several times because of the homemade Italian sauce. I know GOOD SAUCE because I make my own. The key to Italian cooking is "THE SAUCE". The pasta, seafood dishes are superb. The thin crust pizza was also very good and they deliver which is an extra plus.
The service is very good, and the waiters are always looking to help you.
My husband and I recomme...
Read More On Citysearch Italianfoodcritic5865 3/20/2009 - Italian Food LikeHomeSo I drop in for a late lunch and can't pass up the ZUPPA DI PESCE..what a mountain of Mussels, Clams . Calamari and Shrimp in a really nicely spiced sauce over pasta. The seafood was rhe star of the show here.As a relocated New Englander I've missed the North End of Boston's great Italian food, especially pasta and seafood combos. Now its here.
Read More On Citysearch FRMCC 3/18/2009 - Great Place to take your Family and FriendsThe staff and chef at Carmine's made you feel like you were having dinner with your best friends! If the Chef recommeds a special dish...make sure you order what he says! The Pork Chops with the cranberry and balsamic sauce was the best meal I have had in the area in years! I would recommend everyone add this restaurant to their list!
Read More On Citysearch saintpatrick 3/18/2009 - Best Italian food I've had in NCOur experience was the best we've had in a restaurant in a long,long time. The decor is awesome - I love the colors of the walls and molding blended with the wood. It felt very cozy. The service was fantastic - our waiter was very attentive without it being too much. The food was great - some of the best mozzarella sticks, not over cooked, nice spice, good sauce to complement. The bread was ...
Read More On Citysearch brighter3 3/10/2009 - Will never go backThis was one of my worst dining experiences. We had to wait an hour and a half for our food and it wasn't even worth it when it came. The pasta was overcooked and not even drained properly. It was soggy pasta and when I pushed some aside, water streamed across the plate. The worst part was the taste. I had been under the impression that the sauce was very flavorful. Nothing could be farther...
Read More On Citysearch kyoung2 3/5/2009 - Absolutely amazing!Carmine's perfects traditional Italian cuisine with a touch of Chapel Hill homestyle. Complementing the astounding, yet affordable, wine list is a fanfare of fresh and unique dishes, including a homemade eggplant rollatini and made-to-order gnocchi. If you are looking for your basic Italian fare, such as a homemade marinara sauce over house-rolled manicotti, or if you are in the mood for a more i...

Read More On Citysearch jenjen99 2/27/2009 - Yes they do Accommodate Gluten free dietsCarmine's Ristorante and Pizzeria is located at 1800 E. Franklin Street in Eastgate Plaza to the right of Stein Mart. I saw on their website that they can accommodate gluten free diets, so I went to check it out. It says to ask about vegetarian and vegan diets as well. I decided to go to Carmine's at lunch today because I knew they'd be less busy and I wanted to make sure they'd have all the time...

Thankfully, the wait staff and chef were very attentive and helpful to me and I ate quite well! Their food is fresh, tasty and reasonably priced and the atmosphere is friendly. Carmine's is a new favorite local restaurant for me and my family
Read More On Citysearch Patricia1955 2/26/2009 - Wonderful Italian FoodI tried this restaurant for the first time for a take out lunch. The food was fabulous. I had the vegetable lasagna and ordered my boyfriend a pasta dish recommended by the manager. I can't remember what it was called, but it had mushrooms, spinach and sun dried tomato sauce. Both dishes were delicious and so flavorful. The portions and price were appropriate too. My boyfriend is Italian and very...
Read More On Citysearch Briannia 2/26/2009 - Never againThis review is from my experience in January. Some of the details are not perfect but the general idea is 100% accurate. I was hoping to put this review up immediately but there was no entry on Citysearch at the time. Some friends of mine came over and I suggested we try Carmine's as it got a pretty good review in the N&O. We went on a Friday night and had to wait a minute or two for a table. Our...

The staff was friendly and prompt with everything my husband and I ordered - we were even greeted by the owner! The ambiance is inviting, casual, but classy. It was not noisy so I was able to have a romantic dinner with my husband. The bruchetta we ordered as an appetizer was the freshest I have had at any other resta...

Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 2/5/2009 - Great for dinner, lunch and pizzaWe are so glad to have a comfortable, friendly and affordable neighborhood restaurant that serves exceptional food. The coupon brought us in for dinner and we came back for lunch and pizza and were not disappointed. The cannoli is fabulous. Their marinara sauce is great. We will come back often.
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 1/24/2009 - Delicious PizzaCarmine's has the best pizza in the Chapel Hill area, as well as awesome sandwiches and pasta salad. Their vegetarian options are spectacular, and you can choose between more than just a salad or pasta with marinara sauce. Lastly their service is absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend them to anyone.
