Upon arrival at Carmine's we were promptly seated at our reserved time in a full house so there was no trouble there.
Crowded is a little understated, more liked packed. It's definitely not the place to take a date because of the ear splitting decibel noise level. Our ears were still ringing when we exited the doors.
Both food and wine are a tad bit overpriced. We enjoyed our food but the overall consensus was good but not great. Basic, traditional italian fare (i.e. spaghetti, linguini, pizza, veal, etc..)
Pros: Courteous Staff, Passable food
Cons: Overpriced, Loud
