This is my FAVORITE restaurant in Denver! The food is amazing and the staff is awesome! If you haven't been to Carmine's you HAVE to try it!
This is the best Italian food in Denver. Wonderful service, great atmosphere, and delicious food!
Forget about Maggiano's...Carmines is absolutely, hands down, the best italian food I've ever had (and I live on the east coast where it's lousy with Italian food). Get the eggplant appetizer too!
Carmines on Penn is the best Italian restaurant in Denver hands down! Tony the bartender makes our experience even better with his humor and bright smile! Thank you Tony!
Amazing food! This little place has such a cozy atmosphere and it's a great location away from the mainstream. Always a treat!
Ok, let's discuss Carmines.... clearly a frontrunner in Denver's italian cuisine but the family size portions are excessive. Rarely do I have a chance to dine out with a party the size Carmine's targets. It provides the perfect date night ambiance but the menu discriminates against a group of 4 or less. When my husband and I do decide to gorge in their lovely food, we leave feeling overly full and terrible guilty for all the under nourished people particularly those in Denver. Our drive home we often take alternate routes looking for a homeless person to pass our leftover's on to. While I believe they are the best, I'd love to see a special menu for 2!
The most appetizing menu, the best service and, as busy as it is, still has a family feel. WE LOVE THIS PLACE!
The absolute best food and atmosphere in Denver!!! Their Limoncello is fantastic also! Great wait staff and friendly.
The northern Italian food is the best in Denver! The atmosphere is relaxing and the waiters are always very helpful and fun!
The best family style Italian in Denver. Great food, better wine and stellar service.
Everything is made fresh including their garlic rolls which are fantastic. The atmosphere is relaxed and very conducive to enjoying dinner with friends and family. Friendly management and wait staff. Lots of energy and you know a restaurant that has people lined up down the block waiting to get in on a nightly basis has to be good...very good!
It's our family's gathering place for special celebrations. Great food, atmosphere, and staff.
I have been going to Carmines for years now and everytime I go it gets better & better! My boyfriend and I have reservations there this Friday night!
