Description: Carmine's simple and very popular concept is to serve every meal in the style of an Italian American wedding feast - which means large portions of home-style antipasti, pastas, seafood and meat entrees served on large platters designed for sharing. And when we say large, we mean large. An entree here could easily feed three to four average eaters. If you are in the market for better than average family style Italian food that is served in huge portions at reasonable prices, this is the place for you.

This is a great family style Italian restaurant. Go there for a birthday or any other occasion with a large group of people and expect great service and family style portions. You will be sharing every dish you order. Start with the meatballs, some antipasto, then delve into the pastas and some meats. Good, solid spot when you're in AC... More

Recently dined at Carmine's for a day out with my husband. We spent the day on the boardwalk, casinos and decided Italian cuisine at Carmine's in the Trop smelled delish! So....we were surprised at the family style serving but found it pleasant and the sharing of pastas,chicken,seafood was enjoyable. Down side was the service was not very friendly, although that...

We went with a large group and fit right in with the noisy atmosphere and family style food. The servings are huge and the food is tasty but not fine. The pasta is nicely al dente. We were served Montepulciano D'Abruzzo bottled for Carmine's and it was a pleasant table wine. We had veal Marsala and chicken Parmesan, both of... More

Went with another couple and the food was wonderful!!!! I had never been there before and will definitely go again. Be advised that the portions are "family sized" and should be shared among 2-4 people with left overs to be sent home. The antipasto salad was the best I have ever had....fresh and plentiful. I plan to visit the one... More

This is our second time visiting this location. There were 11 in my party. I made a 5:30 reservation. We arrived early and were seated by 5:25. We were sitting there about 10-12 min without a server coming to our table. A waiter Chris finally came up to our table and asked if anyone has come up yet and we... More

Try it once. You decide. To many great italian restaurants, family owned who depend on repeats. Carmine's caters to tourists.

We were a party of 8 on Friday night, including 4 children. We did not have a reservation and waited about 40 minutes which is acceptable and understandable. First let me say Carmine's is loud. The room is large and open with high ceilings. We don't mind that sort of atmosphere but it isn't the place if you are looking... More
