It’s a true dining experience! White linen and a wonderful atmosphere. You can dress up or go in shorts. Plan on being pampered and enjoy an authentic italian meal. It’s not fast food, it’s totally worth the wait ♥️

Carmens is a wonderful restaurant with amazing italian food made from scratch. I had a birthday dinner for my mother last Saturday & Carmen & his family made the event a memorable experience.

Carmen’s never disappoints! My family, friends and I have celebrated many specially occasions (and just a good friday. night) at Carmen’s.

Freaking delicious

Got the clams and white wine sauce and my wife made me switch plates with her it was so good. Unbelievably nice staff and the owner is a real Italian guy who knows how to cook. Skip the other Italian spots, go here instead.

Service is off the charts

Service that comes from a place that they truly care. We had the stuffed Lobster special and it tasted like all the ingredients were just caught or picked.
