Christmas Eve on Carmines – WE LOVE THIS PLACE! We are a bunch of New Yorkers and crave the taste of good food for the money (Ok we are spoiled). We ate there Christmas Eve and had a large party. We had several dishes that were amazingly good. The service was great, and the atmosphere is wonderful. Good value for the money. We plan on making Carmines our Christmas tradition! Yummmm!!!!
Great for large groups – I had my wedding reception here in late July (we also ate there once before to test the waters). The private party room in back was perfect for our reception. The room holds around 40. The family style dishes were excellent. Most of my family is from New York, and you can't get better Italian food than you can in New York. But, my family was very impressed and thought the food was excellent. The wine pairing were very good as well.
There's a Reason It's Crowded... – ...and it's because the food is good, big, and tasty. Great place to bring a date, your visiting friends and relatives. Also, in spite of what some snotty reviewers think, it's a good place for your kids. Even Italians have children, and "family style" has "family" in it, which includes children. Service generally good, but I'm more into my company than playing Freud about my waitstaff. I have dreams about Brian's Shrimp and Chicken Montana with Ziti (great gorgonzola cream sauce). I always... read more
Best Italian – I live 1/2 block south, and can't have vistors on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday nights because there's no place to park. But,......The food is so special, I can't blame a soul. As a local, I usually just call and go pick up the order, which approximately 48 of the 50 times I've done this is always the best on the menu BAKED ZITI WITH ITALIAN SASUAGE!!!! The little butter/garlic basted rolls melt in your mouth. A good bottle of wine, and your live is complete.
Our favorite Denver resturant – This is a great resturant, makes you feel like you are dining with friends. The huge family style portions are always great, espeically the nightly specials. The manager Jay knows how to take care of his guests. Admittedly some of the waitstaff have an attitude, but its a busy place. Make reservations or come at opening time, or expect to wait a while.
Outstanding in ever way – I am a manager of a large group of "entertainers" we had heard about this place from Don Baylor of the Rockies. While we were in Denver we visited Carmine's, I agree it is not like it name sake in NY but the differences are positive. Only negative - was the amount of time we had to wait for our table, 45 mins past our reservation time. During our wait we "slugged" down a few drinks and in the process interacted with Troy the young man who was attending bar on our Sat night visit. He is a real people... read more
You gotta go there! – Not cheap, but excellent. You'll take it home and have enough for days! Valet parking.
The best bread – You won't regret dining at this wonderful place; great bread, great food.
Memory outlasted the calories – Absolutely an incredible place to dine. I will say that although the food was outstanding the service our waiter provided was fantastic! Worth the reservation, and I recommend not ordering from the menu ;) Truely one of my most memorable dining experiences
