Review of Carmine's Italian Restaurant

What a horrific experience. As someone who is gluten free, I was so excited to maybe finally have some Italian food that I would like!

I was very wrong.

The first wait staff, a waitress named Celeste or something (she didn’t really introduce herself with enthusiasm or noticeable energy, so her name is forgettable) seemed to stumble trying to guide me through the allergen menu. Then when I finally thought I had settled on something, I find out all gluten free meals MUST come in dinner size. So I was going to have to pay $40 for a lunch just for myself. I was with people, so I couldn’t just leave. I ordered the food. It took around forty minutes for the food to arrive and all of it was disgusting. My food was watery and the chicken was almost grey and overcooked. I was shocked that I would have to pay $40 for this!

During this time, the waitstaff was replaced with a slight more awake guy. Slightly. When my food came out, I told him I couldn’t in good conscious pay $40 for this beyond subpar dish. He took it back, then told me I COULD HAVE A LUNCH PORTION. I had ordered a dish with a lemon butter sauce but they remade the meal almost entirely, then gave me THREE LEMONS TO SQUEEZE ON THE DISH. What LAZY chefs CANNOT add LEMON to the SAUCE in the KITCHEN.

Everyone else was disappointed with the experience as well. they couldn’t even get the bill right. HORRIFIC experience that I will be sharing EVERYWHERE.

DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU HAVE ALLERGIES. It’s too traumatizing.

Celiac friendly?
