We stopped by Carmine's Cafe on Saturday afternoon and ordered two Italian sandwiches. The Italian sandwiches were delicious with the perfect amount of meat and cheese. The bread was good and complimented the sandwich nicely. We'll definitely come back again. Heads up that they are cash only. They have an ATM onsite if you don't have cash. read more

Carmine's Cafe - Italian - Pizza Near Me - Quincy, Massachusetts

Just discovered that Carmines does breakfast sandwiches and coffee as well! They serve New England coffee. I got the iced coffee which is a bit on the bitter side which I enjoy more than the water you get at Dunkin. So nice to have a local alternative for coffee in the neighborhood. read more

SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - filled us up and still had a couple leftover slices for the next day SERVICE: 4/5 - we called ahead to place our order and waited about 5min when we got there ATMOSPHERE: 4/5 - Carmine's is in a homey, residential area with some outdoor covered seating PARKING: 3/5 - didn't see any obvious street parking spots, so we hazard-parked next to Carmine's on Huckins Ave read more

You can always count on Carmine for a great sandwich or the best pizza in town. All served efficiently and with a smile. A hidden gem out on Squantum. Perfect to pick up for a picnic or a game day pizza. read more

We were only in Boston for a weekend in December and got in late. We looked for a local place to get some pizza and found this neighborhood cafe. We bought a pizza and a calzone. The calzone was huge and so was the pizza. Both were excellent and authentic. What made it even better was the service. The staff was so helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. If we go back to the area, this will be one of the first places we'll visit. read more

Great small local restaurant - the only one in Squantum, unless you want to go to Marina Bay and pay for overpriced food. The meatballs are fantastic and the pizza has a great chewy crust. The owner is super nice. Cash only but they have an ATM. read more

The Best buffalo chicken Pizza around! My kids love the chicken and FFs. Slushes in the summer. Thanks Carmine! Ciao Bella! read more

The best little local joint for your Italian cravings! Family owned- so nothing better than that!

Always fresh, always delicious and owner is very friendly making it a welcome and relaxed atmosphere. Not only do I get the sandwiches and salads, the dinners and catering are also excellent. WE love Carmines! forgot to mention pizza is awesome too....: ) read more

This place is great. I got the eggplant parm, and oh my gosh, it was so good! The bread was light, and the eggplant was soft and the sauce tasted very authentic. Along with the cheese it went together perfectly. I also had to get one of the huge, homemade, chocolate chip cookies that was resting on tray nearby. This also did not disappoint. There was a lot on the menu, so I hope for the chance to come back here again. The vibe was great. It had a bright atmosphere, and the workers were friendly. Everything felt very authentic. I'm pretty sure it's the only place to get food in Squantum, but it's not a bad option. read more

The pizza here is the best pizza in Quincy hands down. It's always ready on time and the fresh ingredients make the pizza taste so fine. Never had a problem with this place because the owner who is the cook is so sweet and always in a great mood. Love this Place! read more

Great sub sandwiches! He now has ice cream has a service window. We have stopped by a few times while walking our dogs during the summer. It is nice to sit at the outside table having ice cream and watching the people go by. But the menu inside is Great also. Everything is made fresh everyday with a few specials as well. You can even pick up cold cuts and salads too! We have been going here ever since Carmine bought the place. It's great to see that he is still there and doing well. Carmine is now a part of the Squantum Community now that he bought the property. read more

In this category of small neighborhood sandwich and pizza shop, this place is THE best. Great specials, too.

I am less than a block away from this location. I have ordered subs and pizza there Large pizza was too big for two individuals so tried a small pizza and that the size was huge for a small pizza But Carmine's has something that you very rarely see Bottled milk. It is a higher price than a plastic bottle from a 7-11 But it is so fresh. I make an attempt to get a half gallon any time a delivery arrives so I do not miss out! read more

Definetly the hidden gem of Quincy. You could call me a pizza snob, I went to college in New Haven, where it all began. If you want good pizza it has to be a thin crust with quality ingredients, end of story. Carmines has it. Their grinders are out of this world. The best Italian I have had outside of my family's own. Chicken parm and eggplant parm are perfect. The sauce is quality. It's cash only and no delivery so you know it has to be good. Highly recommended. read more

I went down to Quincy to meet up with some family members and stopped in for some food. I ordered two pizzas It wasn't exactly quick wait. I called in the car and they still took an extra 20 minutes when I got there (about 20 minutes later) and didn't notice until I got home but the bottom of the pizzas where very black and inedible because of this. I tried to call back and asked for the manager who told me that was how the pizza was cooked and hung up the phone. I called back and one of the regular service people apologized and mentioned he was not talking the phone calls any more. His word was final (fair enough considering he was in charge but not very costumer oriented....) I don't know if he was manager or the owner but I sure hope it was just an angry manager. Apparently my cousin doesn't order there because the food isn't really cooked properly all the time, like it was made to the taste of the chef and not to a standard food quality. Like sometimes it was over salty or very spicy on something that was only suppose to have a bit of a kick. My uncle said they where not open all the time and where constantly closed for mild weather and other small family stuff. He said the food is normally okay but because they can't rely on them being open they don't bother anymore. So that was probably my bad for not double checking with my family. It was pretty sad considering the other ingredients tasted okay and the other staff was so nice but I would not go back. read more

We travel to Quincy just to get Carmine's pizza. My son had Carmine's pizza and meatball subs as a small child and still insists it's his favorite food to eat. Carmine is a gem. read more

My husband's grandmother passed away, and we needed food for the 20+ people, who were visiting that afternoon. Carmine was very gracious - he talked us through the menu options and fit us in despite the short notice and a busy weekend day. The dish came out beautifully, and exactly when promised. The food received a lot of compliments - more than once the guests said that it was delicious and tasted homemade. We also picked up some chicken salad, which is almost gone a day later - also very tasty! Carmine's is a hidden gem, we're very glad that we found this place. read more

Best place for home cooked Italian meals and pizza to go. And great prices. You must check out his homemade chicken pot pies it's beyond the best around. I been going to carmines for many years. Foods always fresh. And he gives back to the community with his find catering to functions in and round Squantum read more

Carmine's Cafe - Ice cream great - Pizza Near Me - Quincy, Massachusetts

The chicken pot pie is the best I've every had. They only have it on Monday. They have good Italian style pizza, lots of home made paste Togo. They have eggplant parmigiana, ziti with meatballs, and also lasagna. It's very kid friendly. The only bad thing is that the don't deliver and they close at 7pm. read more

The best little Italian market you'll find outside of Italy. Carmine is a sweetheart and deserves your business!!!the subs are great and the pasta dishes are fantastic! read more

Really excellent pizza, great sandwiches, subs, salads and soups.

Great neighborhood cafe! Subs, pizza, italian specialities and the newest addition: premium soft serve ice cream - YUM!

You know the place has good food & is loved by the community when the neighborhood bans together to stop the sale of the bldg & helps to make sure that the restaurant stays in the neighborhood for a long time! Great food - always homemade & fresh ... served with a smile by the gentleman who loves to do what he's doing ... In the community he's doing it. After your second order, Carmine will know your name, how "you like your food" - and will make sure you are satisfied. read more

Carmine's food, from pizza to salads to calzones, is delicious. It's a great take out option, with a few tables inside to eat in. Coffee is good, as are homemade muffins and chocolate chip cookies, which are often hot straight out of the oven. With a little notice, Carmine also can cater an event, with large, delicious trays of sausage-onion-pepper, meatballs, chicken dishes, several types of salads, and more. When we order from Carmine's, the food always gets compliments. We are lucky to have such good food on our peninsula. read more

Many times I have had Carmine's pizza, sandwiches, and catered trays. Sandwiches, pizzas, salads, and baked goods are always fresh and delicious. The recently opened ice cream window and outdoor picnic tables should attract summer family business, and give people a place to eat, as there is very limited seating. If you live in the area, I recommend trying Carmine's to enjoy good food and support an important local business. read more

The food was delicious. Prices were very reasonable for the amount of food you get. Server was very nice and was happy to help. CASH ONLY! Not from the area and this was the first stop. Would certainly recommend. read more

I love this little gem in Squantum!!! Carmine is so great he goes above and beyond for his regulars. Always a smile, hello princess, and out of this world ingredients. I love his food, especially his steak and cheese subs. Best of all, he makes each person feel special. We love you Carmine!!! read more

I only give 4 stars because of the lack of large variety. But the food is always good, and the staff very friendly.

Fresh food, great service, and now an ice cream window. Wonderful!

Hands down, the best Italian sub I've ever had in my life. Quality meats, fresh onions, tomatoes and (thankfully) hots. This is a great neighborhood gem and Carmine and his staff are so friendly and courteous, it's makes you wish every neighborhood had a place like this. read more

I just tried Carmine's new side window where burgers, chicken, salad and ice cream is served and I got a cheese burger. Best burger I've ever had. Also the pizza there is always great. Another favorite of mine is the buffalo chicken sub. I haven't tried much else but based on the rest I assume it's outstanding. To conclude Carmine's is a very family friendly shop and you are always served with a smile! read more

Hands down the best kept secret in the greater Boston area. This place is amazing. Everything Carmine makes is delicious. I go almost every Monday and get food here. I love the pasta and meatballs and the chicken pot pie. This two man team is all this place needs. read more
