Food's terrific, portions are huge, 2 could easily share many of the entrees. Service is great, but not a place for a fast meal -- plan to stay for awhile, go when you can enjoy the full experience.

Marc Wigler

Great food!!! The birthday treat was amazing - Fresh Fruit & Granola - delicious!!! Loved the seared scallop salad , linguine w/clams, & chicken Marsala

Jennifer Ashton

Excellent linguine with clam sauce (I have only tried the white sauce , not the red), pasta e fagioli soup , and steaks -- all around prime comfort food destination!

Fish Salad (Calamari , octopus , shrimp , whole clams , scungilli, Italian vinegar, peppers , celery , garlic , lemon vinaigrette )

Elena

Eggplant salad was good, simple and fresh. Not the best idea to get calamari and clams . I hope trying some pasta will change my impression of this place.

Angela

One of the best Italian restaurants in Chicago. Seafood salad is exceptional and authentic . Pasta dishes and steak are extraordinary as well .

Ricardo Hardin

Very nice upscale restaurant and the food is great many celebrities ate there really nice staff located next the richest neighborhood in chicago Gold Coast/Lincoln Park

ISC Chicago

I always get the linguine with clams here, decided to try it with red sauce this time; love it, but white sauce is still the best

ᴡ Duplat

Typical restaurant where you can initiate a debate on the usefulness of the tip in US for non residents. Fast served, fast deserved, industrial behaviour. Lack of charm.

Elena

What I like at Carmine's is their eggplant salad . Simple and good.

Stina P.

One of the best caprese salads in all of Chicago. People watch all day from the outdoor terrace off the VT and if you're not feeling up for it, little known fact is you can place orders for pick up!

Mohammed AlDhaheri

One of the best seafood risotto i ever had !!

Lizz C.

Wine was pretty expensive but worth it. People from all over the world working there, so it was fun to speculate who was from where. Tomato and onion salad was BOMB!

Kevin Wilson

Calamari , huge tender, crunchy goodness!! Awesome and worth every dollar!

Sophia Wallat

Fettuccine crab and lobster alfredo with artichoke hearts !

Neal Jhala

Stuffed Mushrooms and the Eggplant stack are delicious veggie options .

JoAnn Rupp

Very good food! We come from Plainfield to go here. It's always worth it. Just have to say Yelp sucks. Ok sorry. Anyway our service not so great. Forgotten sides, limited refills and dessert offer

missreccamayk

Lamb chops are NOT worth $32. Ordered mine medium came out well done. So dry! Linguini clam with red spicy sauce in the other hand was amazing! Oysters were huge and meaty
