What People Are Saying About Carmine's Italian Restaurant

In Short
The warm dining room bustles with families sharing pizzas and pasta every night. Wood furniture, empty Chianti bottles and closely packed tables add to a homey atmosphere. Iceberg salads accompanying each meal can substitute for starters like calamari. Seafood consists of shrimp scampi in lemon juice, while house specialties include rigatoni smothered in a cheese-tomato-meat sauce. Desserts are flown in from Italy.

I must say i like Carmines,but it was a MUCH,MUCH better ran restaurant when the manager was the little blond girl with the most welcoming smile was there.Today it seems to be ran so chaotic, you should really look into getting some management who know what they are doing.(bring the blond girl back,we miss her) Other then that Carmines food is good.

Large portions. Great food. Can be a bit pricey for a family restuarant. Great for the date night for couples.

We have been going to Carmines in Arcadia for about 20 years, maybe more. It was our favorite Italian place. In the last several years there has been a change and now we don't go anymore. I think the food is still good, but the servers rush you through now. There is no time to linger. You are not even finished with your pile of pasta and they are at your table asking you if you want to take it home. It seems they are trying to go upscale and have lost the intimate family and romantic date night feeling. Someone should tell them they are not in Old Town Pasadena, just on Live Oak in Arcadia.
