Overall it was a good experience except several things. My friend's pork chops were over cooked and burnt, my Saltimbocca was not what resembles a Saltimbocca, and the only thing I wanted on the desert list they had run out of! The stuffed cabbage leaves were very good and their pizza's were very nice too. The atmosphere was great and the staff were very nice and professional. I would go again, but order my desert to be set aside as soon as I get there.
Fantastic service every time. The food was incredible and never a long wait. I would choose to come back here any time over any other place.
Great restaurant, very friendly staff and generous size meals which each person at our table thoroughly enjoyed. This was our first visit but will definitely be going there again
Great food and atmosphere. Great place for lunch or dinner.
Very good basic Italian cooking at its best. Wide selection of wine at modest prices. Prompt, efficient and friendly service. Music not imposing nor too load (too often the case these days).
Service was neither here or there. The young waiting staff need training, plates were cleared too fast and our antipasto wasn't finished. Food however was spot on.
Excellent service & extendive Italisn menu. Pleasant ambience; unfortunately a noisy group seated near us made conversation difficult; staff moved us to seating outside at our request. Will be back!
Nice restaurant but disappointed with a few things. Our starters were excellent. The bruschetta was made with a pizza base which was different but could have been better. It was still nice. Our main courses were brought out immediately after we finished our starters. This really annoys us when restaurants push to get you out the door rather then enjoy the dining experience. They, took our mains back when we said that we weren’t ready. We advised that a 15 minute break would be good. Rather, 40 minutes later they brought out the same meals reheated. Mine was so hot that steam came off it for 5 minutes before I could eat it. My husbands chicken dish had several dry pieces that he couldn’t eat from the reheating. Further more, when we asked if we could take the rest of the bruschetta that we didn’t eat home we were brought out a box for us to put the bruschetta into ourselves. Normally this should be done for us by the restaurant. Overall food was excellent but they let themselves down and didn’t perform to the standard that they should for the type of restaurant that it is.
Waitress was polite, well presented and effect. Service timing was good and the food was even better. Venue was clean, neat and tidy. We will be back.
Food was good, had to wait for an hour which effected the score I gave for this review. If the food came out faster it would have been a perfect score... will come back.
Generous serves, fresh ingredients, fantastic meal, amazing service. Great spot to enjoy a Sunday lunch. Not to far from the Adelaide CBD. Be sure to give it a try.
Great location, service and food. A true Port Adelaide institution with management who take the time and genuine interest talking to customers. You can see that they love the business they are in.
Good welcome upon arrival. Good menu with plenty of choice. Food was delicious so all in all an excellent restaurant. I can definitely recommend it.
Beautiful meal, best ever Lasagne, lovely staff, good all round experience. Come to Port Adelaide and visit Carmine's Restaurant - you certainly won't be disappointed.
delicious food, a large menu to choose from which includes the best pizza garlic bread ever, plus excellent service from the friendly staff and comfortable surroundings - long time customer.
Very accomodating, great service, great environment and exceptional food. Staff were genuinely friendly and could not do enough for us. We had our grandaughter who was 5 and they couldn’t do enough to make sure she was being looked after. Very kid friendly.
The food and service were awesome as usual, I have never had a bad meal or experience at Carmine’s and would thoroughly recommended this restaurant
Service was poor and food was cold. Not very impressed this time. Wouldn’t recommend to friends or work colleagues. Need I improvement big time. Average at best
Perfect location for our Xmas dinner with staff, the food was amazing and the service was friendly. Looking forward to returning in the new year.
Great service and it was done with a smile. Impressed this would happen on a Sunday night. Beautiful food which was served quickly even though they were busy.
Amazing food and service. Nothing was too much trouble. Try the cocktails. Highly recommend the gnocchi! A true gem in the Port. Perfect for functions.
Amazing atmosphere and all staff were very warm and inviting. We had a great time there and the food is delicious. Will definitely be back :)
Superb authentic Italian at its finest. The staff here actually seem to care about their customers - they work very hard to ensure their service is top notch, the food is prepared efficiently and presented well.
Helpful and polite staff. Explained menu to use in detail. All meals we saw brought to the tables looked amazing. Our table all had pizza which was great.
Service was very great and attentive, though it's kind of a weird experience when everyone around you seems to know the owner and are all given free drinks, like, are you subsidising everyone elses drinks with your full priced ones? When it came to the food though, everything was very average. We ordered the special which was rabbit, so very tough. Store bought pasta and an overpriced beige antipasto plate. Don't expect much for your dollar here
Had a lovely meal for lunch of Lasagne & Garlic Bread, havent been for a couple of years and the meals tasted just as good as they did back then. Friendly staff and quick efficient service.
Great service and food. Would happily bring friends and family back! Recommend booking as it was packed from aroun 7pm. Once we had finished our dinner we asked for the bill but ended up sitting for another half an hour, the staff were lovely and never once made us feel as though we needed to leave as we had well and truly finished our meal. Defiantly worth a visit.
Food was delicious. Ample portions. Service excellent. Not rushed. (Plates could have been pre warmed a little. Sorry!) But definitely a come back to place😎 Friendly staff.
Friendly but lacking service tonight. Never got the table water we asked for either. We would have had coffee and cake but didn’t get service.
Amazing as always ! Great food, friendly service! Enjoyed a family birthday celebration and was a hit with the whole family. Thank you. We will be back.
It was a great atmosphere with lovely food and attentive staff. Did get busy as it was a Saturday night and people were queuing up to get in .
Superb food and friendly service. Good Italian hospitality never disappoints. When Nonna makes the meatballs, you know it must be good. Highly recommend for small or large occasions.
Everything was great, the food, the atmosphere and the service :) We had the Gnocchi and the Veal, both were brilliant and we are already looking forward to coming back.
Awesome steak oysters and amazing coffee to finish it off. Excellent service very friendly and helpful cheers. Good atmosphere highly recommended week be returning cheers
Fantastic oxtail ragu and awesome service. Great ambiance in the restaurant and a killer Nutella donut thing for dessert :) absolutely will be back - Yum
All thee of us enjoyed our meal and the ambience of Carmine, the waitress was polite, efficient and courteous. Will come back again with my friends
Food was awesome and service was great..!! Ambience was cozy and overall had a very good dining experience. Family friendly as well. Will be back for more...
Rocky provided the most exceptional service which complimented the phenomenal food and lovely atmosphere. The service was unbeaten. Highly recommended place to eat in the gorgeous Port Adelaide.
We went there for Sunday lunch, the dining room was very quiet. The place is very inviting and has a great high ceiling and was bright and welcoming on a sunny day. I ordered a kingfish special at $33, as did another one of our group. There were 2 largish pieces of fish with some chipped potatoes underneath. It was served with a separate salad to share, consisting of lettuce, onion, tomato & cucumber. It was pretty underwhelming and I didn’t particularly enjoy it. There was no sauce and it was unimaginative. I wouldn’t go back and neither would the other 3 in our group. Shame.
Beautiful food and great friendly service from all the staff! Will definitely be back and would not hesitate to recommend to friends. Great for the Port!
Great night of delicious food and drinks. Prompt, friendly service ensured an enjoyable night. It was nice to be checked on as to wether everything was satisfactory not long into eating our meals. We’ll be back!
The food the service was above board it’s great to be Italian Bella There is no shortage of fine food and the wine from the Italian regions are unique
Decent food, good friendly service always worth leaving the house for to enjoy a night with friends of a good selection of wine and food
My friends and I had a wonderful evening. The food was authentically Italian, beautifully cooked and presented and the table staff were delightful. Thank you Marie
All the food was delicuoitz. The service was outstanding! All the staff knew the menu and were very helpful. They were also great with the kids!
Delicious food and very welcoming friendly staff as always! I highly recommend to family and friends. The premises has been decorated beautifully you can look at the wall and plan your next Italian holiday!
At Carmine & Co we enjoyed great service, food and the setting was warm and modern. My scallopini was perfectly cooked and my entree and desert were equally tasty. The staff were friendly and engaging; their mood was genuine. We will be returning.
Excellent overall. Great ambience, menu selection is great and the risotto with Moreton Bay bags was amazing; authentic style risotto and not the usual over cooked mush I have frequently experienced. The arancini are delicious too. The coutrayard garden dining recreates a very country Italian feel; reminds me of dining in Tuscany. If you are looking for genuine Italian food prepared like nonna used to make- try this little gem.
First time dinner Was very impressed with staff and food It all had plenty of flavors. Would recommend this restaurant to others Wii be back.
Fantastic food and service last Saturday night. Great atmosphere and fully booked - so great for the Port -we will be back and tell friends
