Carmine's on Penn

The pasta alla Carmine was delicious and perfect for two people. Get a spot at the bar for a shorter wait if you don't have a reservation ! Gelato comes in HUGE proportions so be ready.

The shrimp Calabrese is tasty with its sweet Calabrian peppers in the mix and I liked the staple Chicken Parm which was awesome!!

Order the pear salad and a side of simple but delicious garlic and oil pasta to round out your meal.

Everything is family style , come prepared for fierce conversations about what you want to share.

Chicken Montana is a must! Serves five easily!

Rather than trying to study the menu, tell your server what kind of things you like and let the server order for you. I've been doing this for 10 years and haven't been disappointed a single time.

The Bolognese is amazing here.

Great family style , independent restaurant in a residential neighborhood .

Everything!

What a friendly atmosphere and fab food!

Bring friends, they serve via platter.

The gnocchi pomodoro is perfection! Velvety, not that floury thing you get elsewhere.

Best eggplant parm . Hands down.

Fantastic ambience.

Chicken Montana all the way

Be careful when you order: The portions are so large that it's easy to overload on this food, and many of the recommended dishes do not come cheap . Read more

Loud and snotty service. Don't appreciate the attitudes and being rushed. The food was great, but not worth being treated like second class citizens.
