| - I used to love Carmine's in NYC. As a college student, and an Italian, it was a treat eating at Carmine's in the City. The portions were HUGE and the food was delicious. However, going to Carmine's in Las Vegas was not the Carmine's I remember. We ordered a few appetizers. The stuffed mushrooms were probably 4 stars, while the mozzarella and tomatoes were at 3.
For entrees we ordered Penne alla Vodka (4 stars), Angel Hair and shrimp (2 stars), and Chicken Parm (3 stars). The Penne was al dente and the sauce was good. That is the only dish I would recommended. I love all parm dishes (chicken parm, veal parm, eggplant parm). However, this one was OK. The chicken was tender, but the cheese was not melted throughout the piece of chicken. While the edges were nicely melted, the center of the pieces still had unmelted cheese.
With so many restaurants in Vegas, I don't know if I'll be back to Carmine's. For italian food, there are def better choices.
