Carmine's Italian Washington D.c.

Was here for Christmas Eve dinner with my kids and we received great service from beginning to end by our server Morgan H and all of the staff. Carmine's never disappoints.

Food was good. We didn't realize the plates were family sized portions so we did over order. We were seated next to the window at the front of the restaurant, and every time someone opened the door (which was every few minutes) it made a very loud and long creaking sound so that took away from us enjoying the experience.

Great experience and food in Carmines. My son, grandson, and myself love this place. The service from the moment we walked in was perfect. It is country style so we had enough leftovers for another wonderful Italian meal.

Very crowded, you’ll usually need a reservation. The food is very good. There are different seafood dishes on the menu and we ordered the mussels appetizer and the calamari linguini. The food isn’t salty which is a deal breaker for me. The salad was also fresh and tasty. I liked that the salad wasn’t doused in dressing. There was just enough dressing to flavor the salad. The wine was served in a regular glass. I would have liked to have had my white wine in a regular wine glass and colder but that’s ok. I forgot to mention, the servings are huge. So be aware of ordering too many dishes.

Huge food portions chicken Parm was big enough to feed a family of four.
