Review of Carmines at Candleworks

I wanted to love this place. Great atmosphere.

We started by splitting a gluten free Margherita pizza as an appetizer. The crust, we were told, is made in house. It appeared to be cauliflower-based (not confirmed). It wasn't bad, but not anywhere close to being worth a $7 up-charge. In addition, the pizza had too much sauce and it was too sweet.

Then for an entree, I got gluten free pasta cacciatore with sausage. The sausage and sautéed vegetables were good, but the pasta was so over cooked, it was disintegrating.

The service was friendly and good. May give it a second try, but the first go round was not great.
