It was really really good, but unfortunately when I and my families try to get there for dinner again tonight, the restaurant shut down on Saturday on 10th Nov 2018 informed by next door business.
Extremely accommodating staff and fantastic food! My partner and I arrived quite close to C.O.B expecting the Kitchen to be done for the night, but instead we were greeted with enthusiastic and cheerful staff who were more than happy to have us. The food was exceptional, the daiquiris were great, and the service was second to none. We would highly recommend Carmine’s for anyone looking for a authentic Italian dining experience. Thanks again guys!
Delicious Italian food at Lygon street, topped up with great customer service. Had my birthday dinner here last weekend and the staff are great and very hospitable, couldn’t have asked for better service. Overall, amazing food and staff, highly recommended 😊
Chowing down on a 750g steak... what could be sweeter than that? The food, service and ambience are all very food. Worth a trip down to Lygon St. any night of the week.
Really enjoyed my dinner here the other night ! The standout dish was defs the Carmine Pizza! All the ingredients were super fresh and tasted amazing together. The lamb ragu pasta was also quite nice except it would’ve been a lot better with more sauce IMO

Our impromptu visit to Carmines was great! We were accomodated straight away & seated at the round table at the front of house. This was great for a large group as we could all communicate and share entrees.
Food & drink were speedy and served without a glitch! I had the halloumi chips with chutney and gnocchi gorgonzola for main. Both tasted phenomenal- only critic is made the pasta serve larger, I could have easily eaten triple the serve.
It was an awesome night and we will definitely be back - the wait staff were great!
Thank you
Carmines you deserve 10 stars!!
My wife and I had the feed me deal and we literally had 7 courses, traditional bruschett, 3 tapas plates, 2 pastas delicious, pizza wow, calamari. Our new favorite place on lygon street. Best $120 spend if your up for it.
Heard so much about Lygon Street, I decided to go explore today. This is one of the best places I've eaten at in Melbourne so far. The restaurant is tastefully decorated and the staff are the friendliest. I ordered the matricianna but with gnocchi. The gnocchi was melting in my mouth and the pancetta was cooked to perfection. It wasn't fatty which you can get at certain places and the sauce had the perfect saltiness. I am not big on Tiramisu but the one I had there was gorgeous and made me think twice about not being a fan of Tiramisu.

We walked in here and we really enjoyed this chic, stylish and modern large restaurant. With a gorgeous chandelier this really set the scene for what reminded me of a night out in New York rather than Lygon street 😉.
We started the night off with a glass of campari. Oysters the Natural and Florentino Sauce, the Florentino was very cheesy but tasty. However, my favourite meal of the night was followed by the Halloumi Sticks which were nice and light full of flavour.
Now this was followed by my favourite pizza Margherita with the Classic Napoli sauce, mozzarella cheese and herbs and the Quatro Formagi, Four cheeses of mozzarella, parmesan, gorgonzola and bocconcini.
The pizzas were on point and delicious with a great base and so do delicious.
Followed by the most beautiful Pumpkin tortellini which was so smooth and melt in your mouth. Totally delicious and not something I have seen on too many menus.
We also had the most juiciest large
SPAGHETTI MEATBALLS, it was oven baked with homemade meatballs served in a rich traditional Napolitana sauce...well what can I say I was in carb heaven 😋😋😋
Now we could not leave the night without enjoying the largest slab of Tiramisu and great coffees as well.
Thanks for the invite.
Amazing food and atmosphere, incredible service too! Best place on Lygon St! Highly recommend the Gnocchi Gorgonzola, it literally melts in your mouth!
Pizza & spaghetti were ok. Very crowded at night.

Had a late lunch here over the Easter weekend with my cousins from overseas. The service was excellent and the food was great. The waitress who served us outside and Alex (if I remember correctly) at the coffee counter were really attentive and friendly and our waitress made some great recommendations. The overall experience was just really enjoyable. We'll definitely be back! Thanks guys!
Came here for a late lunch. My wife mentioned that it was our wedding anniversary and they brought out dessert and the most delicious orange shots. Very generous and friendly place. Would highly recommend. Best pizza on Lygon too. Try the margarita!
Me and my wife stopped here on a Friday night. Staff were amazing. Friendly and very accomodating. Food was absolutely delicious! Best tortellini and pizza we have ever had. If you want Authentic Italian Carmines is the place. We will definitely be back 😁
