    The best meal in Atlantic City so far. The atmosphere is only brought down by being inside the Tropicana that needs a cleanliness update. That being said, everything in Carmines was clean and great. Carmine's salad was fresh, crispy and tasty. The muscles were clean and well made. Soft and delicious meatballs. This steak was so tender I cut it with my fork. The chicken parmigiana and manicotti were tasty and hot. The whole family highly recommends this place. We'll be back!

    Huge portions make this Italian restaurant great for sharing. We were recommended to Carmine’s by friends a long while back but never had a chance to try until a recent trip to Atlantic City. We came with a group of around 10 and thankfully with a reservation we didn’t have to wait too long to be seated. Of the dishes we ordered I particularly enjoyed: - zucchini fries: crispy! - prime rib - one of their salads One of our party really likes their Titanic dessert so the table split one as well. See photos to get a sense for what it contains. I don’t typically go out of my way to experiment with Italian food. But now I’ll keep Carmine’s in mind if we ever have a starving group looking to share large portions together.

    Tbh I didn’t read the menu and I just made a reservation for one. They told me the portions were large and wow but I was just hungry and couldn’t get a last minute spot anywhere else. Kind of my fault but the food was actually really good. I ended up taking half of each dish to go. it’s definitely enough for two people. I wouldn’t recommend going alone though

    We celebrated our sister's 50th birthday at Carmine's, and we were not disappointed! The food menu, for a large private party, was fabulous! The semi-private Bobby Darin room was perfect! Most importantly, the service was impeccable! Vincent, Colleja (I hope I'm spelling her name correctly), and the rest of the team was outstanding! Every request was met with a family-like professionalism! Working with Rebecca in coordinating the entire experience could not have been more fun or easier! The emails, the phone calls, and most importantly taking the time to meet with me and provide that personal touch that shows she truly values herr customers. I use that term for lack of a better word, because I didn't feel like just a customer. She made the whole experience feel like I was planning with a friend. Rebecca is World Class! We will DEFINITELY be back, next time we're up visiting. Those wings alone are worth a return trip!

    We had an excellent meal here. On our waitress's suggestion we tried the stuffed mushrooms. They were so good. The bread basket was very good. We also got the meatballs with rigatoni. We enjoyed it. Every staff member we encountered was super nice and helpful. Being from the Midwest, the pricing was a bit high to us, but for the area I would say reasonable. We will definitely eat here again on our next stay.

    It is a place located in the Tropicana Hotel. Since it is a very popular restaurant, if you go without a reservation, you may not be able to find a seat. The portions are very large, I would say for at least 3 people. It would be useful to order knowing this. The atmosphere is great. It is a really nice restaurant.

    Had a wonderful dinner at Carmines. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was comfortable. The decor had an old world Italian restaurant feel. Our server was attentive. The portion sizes here are HUGE so order wisely. Delicious food. Drinks weren’t that great in my opinion.
