Carmine's Mcgregor Square - Denver

I'm really disappointed. Carmine's on Penn used to be my favorite spot for delicious Italian food, but this location was a letdown. The pasta was undercooked and hard, and the 3-layer chocolate cake had no icing between the layers? To top it off, the staff seemed unfriendly and unhappy.

Great food and service...something you can always count on at Carmine's! They were busy with many large parties so a little loud for a more intimate dinner but the energy levels were good!! Always a fun and delicious place and the staff is very attentive and responsive!! A great go-to place to keep on your favorites list.

The food is certainly overpriced for what you receive and it is also not tasty. Plus afterwards on the way home, we had to stop because of a bit of food poisoning. We also did not feel right all night after eating at this location. It is the same after eating at their other location. To add insult to injury, then the 22% extra that is added on to the bill was really not worth going to the restaurant. The atmosphere is ok for a very basic look.

BEWARE!!! I believe the wait staff is knowledgeable enough to know the menu is confusing and uses that to their advantage. Let me explain: The staff has to split their tip with all the staff because of a 22%(I believe this is what it was) automatic tip that is added to the bill. Insanity. So with that they “upsale” the menu and since it’s confusing that is easy to do! Our bill was over $100 for average food and we ended up with way tooooo much food! Please keep this in mind.

Me my parents came here our experience was horrible . Mind you we are African American we were the only Black people in the whole restaurant . We sat down at 7:40pm didn’t get serviced until 8:30pm . The only one that helped us was Brittany when she came she even asked “Has anybody helped you?” After we said no she helped us . Brittany was really nice took care of us took our order bought us drinks etc. During the time we were waiting there were people who just sat down got serviced immediately. This establishment is defiantly not african american friendly . The next server was Nicole she stated she was busy asked if we need anything but after that another lady with an accent came and bought us food we originally thought that this lady was gonna be our waiter. She just kept ignoring us the whole time like she didn’t wanna talk to us even when she was serving the food she was giving an attitude didn’t wanna talk to us so this establishment definitely gives racist vibes. The only good service was Brittany so shout out to her . 0/10 do not recommend !
