Chicken Parmigiana was very good 4 to 5 stars. Came with salad. Good Grandma pizza with meatball add about 3 stars. Sauce was ok. Fettuccine Mediterranean was good not great. Came with Garden bread, so, so. Service was ok, you order at the counter, assign a table # and bring you your food. The place is large with lots of seating. May return, but Tuesday pasta special not as b8g deal. read more

Dined at Carmines with two other couples. I give three stars because everyone else seemed satisfied with their meals. Not me. I had the Pasta el Forno. What a disaster of a dish. Mediocre meat sauce seemingly whipped into mozzarella cheese to produce a gummy, unappealing congealed mess, and mixed with Penne pasta. This is undoubtedly the worst "baked" pasta dish I have ever had and one of the worst meals I have had on Kent Island. It was just mush. I only ate about half, not saying anything because our friends like Carmines and go there often. So, said I was full, put the other half in a box, then took it home and threw it away. I have had their pizza before and if I go back that is all I will order. read more

Food is mostly decent but 9/10 times your order will be wrong. If picking up takeout, ALWAYS check your order carefully! Very disappointing that they just can't get it right. read more

Horrible customer service and the pizzas are bland and stale. Will never be ordering food from this place again. read more

I didn't expect this small place in a strip mall to be so good, but it was great. We had the Fettuccine Bolognese, Chicken Parmesan, and kid's Fettuccine Alfredo. All three were delicious with delicate pasta, balanced sauces and hearty portions. We're so glad we made this stop before heading to the Bay Bridge. read more

This is a little pizza joint in Chester, MD, that has excellent Italian food. My husband had a vegetable calzone that he said was delicious. We shared some garlic knots that were wonderful. My husband said the pizza looked great, but we did not try it. But it is on our list of "to dos" when we return to Kent Island. The ambiance is casual. The service is good and the people friendly, but there is a language issue so beware. read more

A solid four star. I don't get the bad reviews. All of the staff were incredibly nice and friendly. The portions were huge and to go boxes and containers were stacked up in the dining room. Food was basic Italian food and very tasty. It is fast casual. You order at the counter and someone brings you your food. Would definitely come back. read more

Pizza was tasty and loaded with veggies. Restaurant staff was attentive and friendly!

This place was amazing. We stopped for a quick lunch on the way back from Christmas shopping. He wanted pizza and I've passed Carmine's a dozen times and just never stopped. He got the lunch combo. It consisted of a slice and side salad. I got the chicken Parmesan sandwich. Food came out quick. They definitely had a serious lunch rush going, but the wait wasn't bad at all. He's a native New Yorker and said this was the best pizza he's had down here and that it really reminded him of what he got back home. Sadly, my sandwich was not good. The chicken was left in the fryer too long and was burned. The bitter taste took over the entire sandwich. I talked to the manager and he immediately made it right. He offered to make me another sandwich, I opted for two slices of pizza instead. Great choice. The fact that the manger didn't put up a fight and immediately fixed the problem earned my loyalty. Carmine's will definitely be in heavy rotation in our house. read more

Stopped in a road trip. Just happened across it. They have a very good menu. We chose from the 5 dinner/daily specials. #4 Gnocchi with fresh mushrooms & pancetta- oh my, perfection. Deliciousness! My husband had the sausage with peppers, onions and shaved Parmesan over penne. Sausage had great spice. 5 Star meal, well priced. Family friendly. Did not expect such an amazing meal under $40 for 2 people. read more

You should go here it's amazing!! If your thinking about it, just go!! A newer addition to this shopping center, Carmine's is like the older style italian deli/pizza place but new. They have subs, hot and cold, salads, entrees, and pizza pie or just a slice. There is a specials menu for lunch when you walk in and their prices are very reasonable. I got the Garlic Knots and Italian Sub (heated just a little). The italian sauce they use on the sub is devine. This is my second trip while crossing the bay bridge to make a point to go to this restaurant. Staff are friendly, you can get a glass of wine or beer with your food. Go buy and pick something up for take out or dine in. You won't be sorry. read more

We had a dinner party for friends last weekend. My wife didn't feel like cooking so she ordered from Carmines, and it was DELICIOUS!! We got chicken parmigiana which was fresh and excellently prepared. BETTER THAN HOME MADE! There was more than enough food! It came with a big bed of spaghetti and Ceasar salad for the same number of people so it was a great value!!! Their salads, gluten free options and Subs are also amazing! THANKS carmine's for making it a terrific evening!!!! read more

We grabbed a bite to eat here recently and it was a good decision! They have delicious wraps and french fries. I liked the variety of the menu and how customizable items were. I had the Greek Chicken wrap and would get it again. Getting to this restaurant is a little tricky if you aren't on the main road nearby, but once you're here, it's worth it. The staff are friendly, the service is fast, and the food is fresh. Next time I come here, I definitely want to try their pizza! read more

Got here at at 11 as soon as the restaurant opened on a Sunday. The door was locked so we had to wait for them to open it. As soon as we got inside tho, we were served at the counter for take out. The lunch special was available on a Saturday which was a good deal, considering most places only honor lunch M-F. It was 1 New york slice pizza (any kind), a salad and large fountain soda. They also had beer. I only had 1/2 slice of pizza but i ate the whole salad. It came with a house sauce i guess, which was good! As we left out, about 15 mins later about 3 cars pulled up and also went inside of the restaurant. One star because the door wasn't unlocked / open when we got there at 11. The door time said it was to be open at 11a. read more

My husband and I order take out from carmines often! We even used them for our wedding about a year ago & everyone raved about the food (some still do to this day). We've never had a bad meal! read more

I just came from carmines pizza and was totally shocked. I went in, asked for slices and 2 full dinners and the man behind the counter (who I have never seen before and represented himself as the manager) told me I could not get sausage on the slice of pizza I was taking. BTW, twice a week we go in and get that with no problem and pay for it. He argued with me for 5 minutes that he would not put sausage on a slice that was made. He was rude and arrogant and I can't quite believe anyone would have him as a manager. i have only had pleasant experiences in there with other employees and he was awful. I am in service and if I had done that, the way he was so rude and unaccomodating, I would be fired. I plan on calling the store and talking to whoever is in charge to let them know. There are plenty of pizza places around and if a few pieces of sausage i paying $2.00 extra for is worth losing a customer, then that's pretty poor practice. He should not be waiting on customers. Sad because food is really good and all the other people I have dealt with are nice. read more

We were at the Holiday Inn Express and ordered from here. The two dishes that were ordered were decent and nobody complained. I ordered a sub, which was huge. The problem was that I got a 10" sub that had two layers of thin meat and cheese and the rest was all lettuce, tomatoes and so much onion. Someone who joined us to chat looked at my sub and asked if it was vegetarian. read more

Very happy this place delivers during COVID it was a new try for us, and I'll be back. We got the grandmas pizza and the margarita both were great! Perfectly seasoned, Usually I get Bella's or Boli's this is definitely better than those options. We live sorta far the food could have been hotter but that's part of the grub hub thing and I don't knock the restaurant for it. Nice thin and chewy NY style crust. Love the sauce too. I rarely leave reviews but this one deserves a higher rating truly. read more

Really should be 3 1/2 stars. You order at the counter and it was busy. The food is good. Had a Philly cheesesteak and it was great. My wife had Angel Hair pasta. She loves it. They do have someone attending to the diners. Really impressed with the food and would go back. read more

Good pizza, decent fast food Italian dishes. When doing large parties at home, Carmines does a good job catering large orders at a good price, read more

Everyone there is super friendly. The food is pretty good and it reminds me of my favorite Los Angeles pizza joint. The food is fresh fast and reasonably priced. A go to for lunch. read more

Carmines food is what you expect, excellent whatever you get. Chicken Marsala or a cheesesteak.

Carmine's used to have a location in the Timonium /Hunt Valley area that has been gone for quite some time but I always remembered their excellent pizza. When someone told me there was this location on the Eastern Shore I did not think it was related but alas IT IS and the pizza is still just as I remember it and even better!! We grabbed carry out but everything was delish love the fried ravioli and the pizza was spot on. This will be a stop for me every time I do the commute. read more

Terrible customer service... which is a shame because the food is good. My husband stopped here on his way home from business travel and raved about them for weeks after. We stopped as a family on our next trip back across the bay bridge. The counter server gave perhaps the rudest experience we have ever encountered... to the point that my husband says he will never return. read more

Arrived at 9:00 after 6 hours on the road from North Carolina. Open until 9:30 and they would not serve us. We explained that we had come so far and would not be long. We had three hungry children and were appalled at the lack of professionalism and hospitality. read more

This place is awesome! Great food! The pizza is like the real NY pizza. It's very good!!! Highly recommend the pizza. The salads are very fresh and flavorful. Exactly as described in the menu. The spaghetti looked amazing and I would definitely try it next time. The staff here is all very friendly!! I highly recommend stopping here!! read more

Worst pizza I have ever had! The service was a 1/2 star cashier had absolutely no customer service skills!!!!

Good pizza, just let them know that you want your pizza well-done. Sometimes, their pizza is a little light on the bottom, leaving it chewy and tasting undercooked. I do recommend it! read more

I've gone to Carmines Pizza on Kent Island with my wife on several occasions and everything was fine. Recently we went and to our horrid surprise I found a long piece of hair in our pizza. I literally pulled a long piece of hair out of my mouth. It was very stomach churning to say the least. We reported it to the the manager and his response was it was not his people so do you want another pizza ? Our response was no we don't want another pizza nor are we asking for a refund. We left 3 slices and the box on the table. Just wear hairnets! Fast forward to March 27th(We hadn't been there since that 1st hair incident). I ordered 1 cheesesteak, 1 Greek Salad and 6 Garlic Knots. When my wife took a bite of her cheesesteak at home she pulled out a long piece of hair. We both said not again! We both should have been highly hot and upset. We were but not boiling. We called and told the supervisor about it and again his response was that it could never be his people. Well if you're not wearing hairnets this is going to happen. We did not ask for anything free nor did we ask for a refund. All we requested was, 'wear a hairnet!!! He was so rude, disrespectful and unapologetic. His cashier/server is just as rude, she really is but that's a whole different complaint. Obviously we must have liked the establishment to go back after the first hair incident but this is unacceptable ,inexcusable and very unprofessional. The Health Department should be made aware of this. They all should wear hairnets!!!! read more

We showed up 30 minutes before closing (at 9pm) and were told they could not serve us "because they closed at 9:30". We were very confused and asked them many times to clarify why we could not eat. We explained we would only need pizza, and would eat quickly to accommodate. The woman at the register was unbelievably RUDE. We asked to speak to the owner because we were in shock at her hostility. We were told the owner wasn't there. We also asked if we could order it to-go instead, as there were over 8 employees standing idly waiting to have something to do. The woman insisted we could not place an order. The rest of the staff didn't seem to understand English and were depending on the one woman to talk to us. We felt bad they may have not known what was going on, because the rest of the staff seemed eager to cook and serve us food. There was only one table there who were only beginning their meal. Went for food and hospitality, instead got 'tude and hostility. read more

Very Tasty, fast, big dishes, authentic. We ordered the chicken marsala, spaghetti mama and pizza Margherita. Everything was tasty.! Kind and friendly staff read more

Great place to get good Italian food at reasonable prices. Pizza can be made to order, we like our crust thin and with a good crust as we request. The flavor is yummy. You can tell they use top notch ingredients. They have the best chicken Cesar salad, it's loaded with chicken and lettuce is fresh and crisp. The pasta dishes will not disappoint. Meatballs are not tough, but moist and flavorful. Definitely worth a visit if you are driving through Kent Island on the way to the ocean. We are Kent Islanders and eat here quite often. Staff and owners are very pleasant and accommodating. read more
