Editorial Review for Carmine's Uptown – by Paul Adams
The Scene
The room is vast, with high ceilings, rich cream-colored walls and photographs on the walls that lend a pleasant feeling of history. The service is vigorously efficient, friendly and accommodating, as suits a busy, festive restaurant like this one.
The Food
This is well-known southern Italian fare: pastas, chicken, beef, veal and so forth, and all dishes are served family-style in massive portions suitable for several people; even sides are entree-sized. But the food is surprisingly well crafted for such a large and casual restaurant: Baked clams are juicy and garlicky, stuffed artichokes delicate and well-seasoned, even the bread is fresh and delicious. The restaurant's one vice is a heavy hand with salt. If that doesn't bother you, try the savory rigatoni with sausage and broccoli, the tasty, ultra-cheesy manicotti and nightly specials like decent, if dryish, osso buco surrounded by a horde of gnocchi.

I went there already 3 times. In average the staff if sympathic, some are not friendly at all. The dished are huge as it is a family concept, I have never been dissapointed about the quality and the quantity, it's even sometimes too much, but we can take it home.
Pros: value, quality & quantity, ambiance
Cons: some staff are not really friendly

What a great place to eat, too bad that is far from me, and parking is impossible aroun that area. Dishes are enormous, enough for more than one, decor is nice, nothing over the top, a great place to dine in large groups. Prices are very accommodating, and servers are very friendly. Recommended restaurant!!
Pros: food quality, portions, prices
Cons: parking
