We stopped in over the weekend & had the pleasure of having Audra take care of us. I went with my usual omelette while he had an egg sandwich, both super tasty. The surprise stars? The baked beans & baked apple side The apples tasted just like warm apple pie filling straight from grandma's kitchen time machine. Needless to say we left full, happy, & carrying leftovers home like little victory trophies They serve breakfast all day everyday along with lunch & dinner plus some great specials that make your wallet breathe easy. also don't forget to try the grape nut pudding its to die for! #RhodeIslandEats #ProvidenceFoodie #BreakfastLovers #DinerFood #FoodieFinds

I got the biscuits and gravy's with eggs and home fries, tried their French toast and paired it with coffee milk. Everything was so tasty and I have so many leftovers! The really special part of my experience was the regulars. This spot has quite the following that comes in daily for breakfast (and sometimes for dinner too) and I loved chatting with many of them today, hearing about what they loved about UMD and also listening to what their go to orders were. This spot is not just a cute breakfast joint with amazing food---it's a gathering place for a really special community. I will certainly be back soon! Thanks for a wonderful experience!

I can't believe we had never been to Carmine's before. Honestly, I didn't even realize it was there…read moreuntil a couple of weeks ago when we happened to drive by. I remembered the building from when it was Cal's and had no idea Carmine's had moved into the space. I'm glad we finally decided to stop in because this place was an absolute home run. The dining room is on the smaller side and pretty simple, but that's part of its charm. It's comfortable, welcoming, and puts the focus exactly where it belongs, on the food. We arrived around 5:00 p.m. and there was only one other table occupied, but by the time we finished dinner the restaurant had filled up. After eating there, it's easy to understand why. My wife and I are admittedly pizza snobs. At our home in Phoenix we even have an outdoor wood-fired pizza oven, so we're probably a little more critical than the average customer. Naturally, when we saw pizza on the menu we had to order one. We went with the Carmine Pizza, and it completely exceeded our expectations. The crust had great texture, the toppings were balanced, and everything worked together without trying too hard. I'd go as far as saying it's one of the best pizzas I've had in North Providence. I also ordered the Italian Wedding Soup, something I hadn't had in years, and it instantly reminded me why I used to love it. It was flavorful, comforting, and exactly what I was hoping for. For my entrée I ordered the veal parmigiana. I always think it's a good benchmark for an Italian-American restaurant because it sounds simple, but you'd be surprised how many places manage to overcook the veal or drown everything in mediocre sauce. Carmine's got it exactly right. The veal was tender, the breading stayed crisp under the sauce, and the gravy had that rich, homemade flavor that reminded me of family dinners growing up. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente, just the way it should be. Unfortunately, we were too full for dessert. The portions here are generous, and considering the quality of the food, I thought the prices were extremely reasonable. One of the nicest surprises of the evening was finding out our server was also the owner. He spent some time telling us about the restaurant, why he moved into this location, and checked on us throughout the meal without ever hovering. You could tell he genuinely cared that everyone was enjoying themselves, and that kind of hospitality is becoming harder to find. If you're visiting for the first time, just know there's no dedicated parking lot, so you'll need to park on the street. It wasn't an issue at all, and certainly not something that would keep us from coming back. In fact, there's no question we'll be back. It's not a matter of if, but when. They're close enough to our home in Lincoln that I can already see takeout becoming a regular thing after a long week when neither of us feels like cooking. This was one of those meals that exceeded every expectation. Great food, generous portions, fair prices, and an owner who clearly takes pride in what he's serving. Carmine's has earned every bit of this five-star review.

Service was friendly & helpful, and the menu offers many delicious sounding options. Food is fast casual style (order at the counter, get a card - here all were west side street signs, not the usual numbered placards, food will be delivered to your table. I had the avocado shakshuka, my husband had the lox omelet (see the photo). Despite the large menu of fancy coffee options, we each had a basic iced. It was served in a glass, which was a nice touch. Self serve milk was at a station in the dining room area. Coffee was good, cold but I would have traded some coffee for a bit more ice to stay that way as I drank it slowly. Both of us were surprised when our meals were delivered: the plates were beaut! In particular his omelet was absolutely gorgeous! Now for the flavors: the omelet had a generous helping of perfect cooked eggs (not sitting in a pile of grease, as restaurant omelets frequently are). It was so fluffy that we both thought "that's way more than the advertised 3 eggs," and the lox was thickly layered whole slices nestled inside the fold. Most places chop the lox like vegetables, add it to the eggs, & make it like a veggie omelet - meh. This iteration was perfect; the lox tasted like smoked salty fish, losing none of that flavor to the omelet itself. The potatoes? Fabulous! Great spice mix, cooked until they were crispy. That was a tasty bit of marble rye toast too. My shakshuka was very good, but a bit less successful. The elements were all excellent; the avocado was actually guacamole since it was mashed & there were tomatoes and spices in the dish. The combination worked, except for the bread element. The dish as presented was really more of an avocado toast with shakshuka on top. It might have been more successful to add the avocado/guacamole as a unique base on the plate, with the tomato sauce and eggs on top with toast on the side (as is the way shakshuka is traditionally served) because halfway through the bread got really soggy & less appetizing. Still, the first few bites, while everything was still warm? So good!

One thing I really loved here? They offer a free coffee with any food purchase for first…read moreresponders, which is especially fitting since they're right next door to a police and fire complex. For the RI food fights challenge, they were serving a CRU Cookie Blazer--an iced dirty chai latte with hazelnut and vanilla syrup, vanilla cold foam, Oreos, and CRU mocha sauce. It's not normally on their menu, but they'll happily make it if you ask! This one was definitely more of a sweet treat than the bold coffee flavor I usually gravitate toward, but if you love dessert-inspired coffee drinks, this is right up your alley. I'll definitely be back because that lobster avocado toast has my name written all over it.

To make the experience extra special, Caro brought out a brownie with a birthday candle in it for me! It was such a sweet touch (and a delicious brownie)! Next time I'm in Providence, I'll be sure to pay Frank and Laurie's another visit!

food here was good, but also quite expensive. we got the lamb sausage, hashbrowns, deviled eggs,…read moreand biscuit. the lamb sausage was fantastic, the fennel mint and onions paired super nicely with the juicy and fatty sausage. it was a well balanced and unique dish that was totally worth it. hashbrowns were also fantastic, i've never quite had a hash brown with that texture, super crispy but not too oily while maintaining a good salty potato flavor. the deviled eggs were nothing to write home about and the biscuit was solid, i wished there was more jam though. my main complaint here was the service. it took an hour to be seated which we expected, but the tables around us were getting free desserts because of the wait time, yet we weren't offered one. we all arrived at the same time and waited the same time, which rubbed us the wrong way, but didn't mind too much. the main thing that off put me was the 20% service charge at the end, we were not told by the front desk person or our waiter til the very end when we got the check about this. it was also not stated on the menu. for a party of two i was shocked that we were forced into that amount without anyone informing us about it. this should 100% be put on the menu or just told to customers. i don't mind tipping this much but i truly do believe the patron should tip based off of the quality of food and service, rather than being forced into a certain amount without prior knowledge. it's not a deal breaker whatsoever, but id like to be told up front about it this sort of stuff. overall i would totally come back and try some more of their food options, i also now know what to expect price wise. i was a little disappointed on service but the food is worth it.
