Carmen's Italian Cafe

Came here with my family for vacation around 8 and waited for about 20 minutes for the server to take our order for drinks and then they took our order, around 9:35 we where still waiting for our food and the server never came to check on us, the waiter only had 2 other tables besides us. I understand low staff on a slow evening as I work in restaurants before but I also know how to organized and check in my tables. By 9:40 a table that was here before us just gotten their food and we where still waiting. I DO NOT RECOMMEND COMING HERE

Not one to usually post a bad review- however think that our experience is worth noting. My boyfriend and I came in as a 2 top at exactly 6 pm on a Wednesday evening. There were a total of 11 other people in the restaurant and 2 servers on the floor. I have been before and understand the “everything is made fresh to order” delay on food. However, upon coming in we were sat at a small 2 top table with a nearly empty dining room. We sat for about 25 minutes juggling our menus in our laps waiting for some kind of order to be taken- feeling more and more uncomfortable watching other tables be waited on and served. Finally ordered calamari, a salad and two entrees all at once when we were finally able to do so. Waited another 45 minutes for the salad and calamari until we finally left some money on the table for what little time our server did spend with us and went to leave. As I was getting up to go our server passed us, with zero acknowledgment and I had to verbally get her attention when it was quite obvious what was happening to let her know to which she replied, “oh do you want me to cancel your food then?”. Carmen’s has ALWAYS been my first recommendation to ANYONE in the area when asking for a good place to eat out. I’m embarrassed to think what their experiences have been when they’ve chosen to go, and will never recommend to anyone again. The food may be good, but the service and lack of acknowledgement is just not worth. Wish you all the best, and hope matters can be resolved (seems like there’s quite a few reviews that have had the same issue).

Don't waste your money! Where to start...the pop and tea is all watered down, the service was so-so. We were a party of 6 with only two other tables occupied. The lasagna was only one layer, the sausage on the spaghetti tasted old and the fish was chewy. Waited almost an hour for food and was told everything was made to order. Way too expensive for the quality. There was a young boy, that was obviously related to an employee, that ran around the restaurant, was behind the bar and in and out of the kitchen. I definitely do not recommend this place. UPDATE: This restaurant should be shut down as two people in our party had severe stomach cramping shortly after leaving....you can figure out the rest SECOND UPDATE: I would NEVER come back to your overpriced, awful food, so-so service if you paid me to come there. I contacted the health department, better start cleaning
