Carmine's Bistro - Carlton

Just had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. The waiter talked up the food so much that I decided to give it a try. However, the pizza that came out quickly tasted stale and the base/dough was like an off-tasting biscuit. It also did not have bocconcini on it as the menu had stated. The chicken burger was stringy and rubbery and did not taste as good as most fast food burgers. After a few bites, we decided that the meal was not worth eating. We expressed our disappointment to the staff and asked to go elsewhere. Despite our feedback, the staff seemed to be in denial and did not try to rectify the situation or offer any compensation. Overall, I would recommend dining elsewhere.

I tried the affordable pasta lunch specials with a glass of wine, and it was satisfying and authentically delicious. The staff was friendly and efficient. While not trendy, the restaurant is comfortable and clean.

Extremely accommodating staff and fantastic food! My partner and I arrived quite close to C.O.B expecting the Kitchen to be done for the night, but instead we were greeted with enthusiastic and cheerful staff who were more than happy to have us. The food was exceptional, the daiquiris were great, and the service was second to none. We would highly recommend Carmine’s for anyone looking for a authentic Italian dining experience. Thanks again guys!

Came here with a groupon deal with my wife for our wedding anniversary. Started with mussels, then pizza followed by two pastas. Food was amazing and very generous serves. Would definitely recommend.

Was amazing in everyway. The staff were amazing and friendly, the food was the best Italian I have tasted in years and it was all a reasonable price. Had a great $15 lunch deal that included a huge meal and a wine. Would recommend this place to anyone
