Reviews


Carmine's in downtown Chicago offers a mix of average but decent food with good portion sizes, highlighted by the delicious stuffed mushrooms. There were some complaints about subpar service and odd ambiance, but overall, the staff was described as attentive and friendly. The restaurant may benefit from a renovation, but customers seem to keep coming back for the great food, especially the chicken parm and rib eye steak. Vegetarian options are available, and valet parking is recommended. Despite some mixed reviews, Carmine's appears to be a popular choice for those seeking a classic Chicago dining experience, Carmine's typically has an average rating of 4.5.
