Carmine's,

88 102nd Ave NE, Bellevue, WA 98004, United States

"I love Italian food and the Mediterranean in general. This restaurant has great food and great service. Thank you guys.... - but here's what disappointed us, we went to this restaurant on Valentine's Day February 14th, not hungry, just wanted to sit down, have a couple of drinks, a couple of appetizers, talk and have a good evening. that's basically what happened until we brought the check for payment, we ordered calamari, a small cup of soup , and two drinks... my partner asked what the waiter would recommend, and she offered him some "restaurant special." it was fettuccini with vegetables and lobster pieces.... ok, all well and good, but we didn't see a price for this dish anywhere..... we thought ..... 35-40 dollars. It turned out to be $75 when the most expensive steak in this restaurant is $70, but I couldn't even find this dish on the menu..... All in all, my partner was upset.... he didn't expect to pay $75 for pasta..... that's the story... surprises like this are not very pleasant..... I ask you to clarify the prices to leave a tip with a light heart..... and not with bitterness...."

"I came to Carmine’s for a friends girl’s lunch and it was exceptional! The quality of food was impeccable and the service was friendly and timely. We ordered fried calamari, the bread trio and a nice bottle of wine. A couple of us ordered the rigatoni bolognese and another ordered the scallops. In all, we had a wonderful time and weren’t rushed out (they close between 3-5pm). We sat inside but there’s also heated outdoor patio seating available. I cannot wait to return to Carmine’s with the girls, or with my husband for an awesome date night. Either way, Carmine’s is for everyone! Also, the prices were very reasonable for the quality of food. My rigatoni was sensational."

"Atmosphere was the best of the entire experience. Highly recommend taking reservations, especially for a big party or holidays/weekends. Pasta was 3/5 Pizza was 4/5 Garlic Bread 5/5 Desert 3/5 Service was pretty terrible, it was slow and the server ended up asking us to tip more “or he will be losing money”. Only for this reason I will not be stepping in this restaurant again."

"We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The food was excellent, and the drinks were amazing. The service, led by our server Paolo, was exceptional—he was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, assisting us with our order. The restrooms were well-maintained, and the overall service was prompt. The staff was friendly, and the chef showcased remarkable skills."

"This place is 5 stars all around. Incredible food service and atmosphere! We went here last week and sat outside on a cold night. They provided blankets and a heater so we were very comfortable. Our server was Steven who was friendly and gave great recommendations- I ordered everything he suggested and I was definitely super happy with everything. I felt like he was also giving suggestions based on what he likes rather than just trying to upsell. He was super nice and if I go back I’d request to be seated in his area. We got some fresh bread to start which was very good and the butter was good too. We got a couple of orders of meatballs which were amazing. The garlic bread with extra cheese is also a must. Also got a Caesar salad which had incredible dressing. They will remove the anchovies of those aren’t your thing. I got the manicotti (amazing) and we got a variety of desserts and I thought the best was the coconut crème pie. They have valet parking and an extensive wine and alcohol list and a good variety of pastas and pizzas and meat dishes. Overall something for everyone. And basically everything we ordered we loved."
