They serve complimentary bread and olive oil dip. The bread was just okay but the dip was amazing. We started with the salads which were a little over dressed but still delicious and we cleaned the plate. For our entrees we ordered the Seafood Spaghetti and the Puttanesca adding shrimp. They were both absolutely perfect. We were so impressed by the rich tomatoey flavorful sauces and the perfect cook on the seafood that we forgave them for the boring sliced bread. We are looking forward to coming back soon and trying many more of their wonderful dishes. See you there!

The waiter came by and took orders. We started with the Spicy Shrimp Tower, a Caesar Salad, and a Sage Salad. We then went with Filet Mignon, Wild Salmon, Wife's Favorite Pasta, and Pork Saltimbocca. All the food was well prepared, presented and excellent. We ended with ice cream and cheesecake, which were very tasty. The service was great, the waiter was prompt, friendly, and professional. Overall, an excellent spot for fine Italian dining.

Due Cucina - Redmond…read more We really enjoyed everything we ordered here. Burrata Tricolore -- The salad was a standout. The balsamic dressing, pine nuts, and fresh greens were already delicious, and the burrata tied it all together with that perfect creamy finish. I could honestly eat this every day Eggplant Parmigiana -- Flavorful, satisfying, and refreshingly reasonable in portion size. Unlike some places that serve a mountain of bland eggplant, this one delivered on taste without overwhelming you. Carbonara -- Creamy, cheesy, and simply delicious. Pesto Pasta with Burrata -- Another favorite. The pesto had great flavor without that overly strong basil punch some places have. Adding burrata made it even better. Cheese Ravioli with Sage Butter -- Soft ravioli with a nicely filled center, paired with a sage butter sauce that was subtle rather than overpowering. Too much sage can ruin a dish for me, so this balance was perfect. A quick heads-up: this isn't a full-service restaurant. You order at the kiosk/front counter, grab your own utensils, napkins, and water, pick up your food when it's ready, and bus your own table afterward. We didn't mind the self-service setup at all--the food more than made up for it. We'll definitely be back

New menu tonight, first the Panzela (most likely mispelled this) was delicious, a medley of vegs and croutons in a pesto was great and probably the best of the night honestly. 4.5 Stars. The chicken smelled, and looked great, but was just too chicken "breasty" if you know what I mean. Just a bit bland and plain, needed a bit more salt. The skin was well cooked and you do need to wait just a tad longer for the prep on this. It is a solid dish but nothing special. Could I eat it multiple times, probably, great protein. 3.5 Stars. King Salmon and the prep around it was very nicely done. Fresh, healthy, clean, buttttttt overcooked. Asked for medium rare plus and the moment I saw the char I knew it would be overcooked. While still good, it just had too much orange if you know what I mean and not enough delicate touch to it. If done right, definitely could see myself ordering this often. But it was disappointing to have my salmon overcooked. 3.5 Stars. I think this is a very quaint, nice ambiance, neighborhood restaurant. Not a destination restaurant though. Sorry. The service and the potential however makes it promising.

Wanted a lot of their meat/ seafood items from dinner menu, but when we came, only lunch was available. Very limited menu. The pasta from chicken parmigiana was good. Calamari was a little salty.

Can not recommend this restaurant. Food was sub-par and simply not good. Very overpriced…read more Specifically, the spaghetti bolognese was dry and had virtually no sauce. Portions were quite small. The chicken with pesto was just ok. Nothing to justify the price. The grilled vegetables were undercooked and lukewarm. Service was mediocre. We've had worse, but it was definitely needing work. All told, our bill was $70 not including tip for two very sub-par meals, no drinks, just tap water, no appetizers, and no dessert. We will not be returning and we'd recommend you stay away from this. And honestly, I'd even rate Olive Garden a few notches above this place, and that's saying something. At least the food there is consistently decent, they give you free bread, free soup, and free salad. And the prices are significantly cheaper and service is better.

I have to reduce several stars because:…read more 1. They charge garbage credit card transaction fees. Any percentage they charge will get deducted from tipping and discourage us from coming again. 2. They no longer validate parking in the garage behind it since several years ago. Street parking is limited and painful sometimes. 3. They exited Resy network a few years ago - that was one of the reasons we kept coming. 4. The food is still good but the quality is declining. The "+add brisket" option which costs $10 on top of the Mac and Cheese was the driest I've had in many years. They also removed menu items like duck chicken liver mouse which were really good.

We just had our first experience with Carmine's in Bellevue, our first time going to Seattle area…read morehigher-class Italian restaurants, as we tend to go to neighborhood places that are owner-operated. As background, we spent the day in Bellevue, and my wife wanted a high-end Italian experience. My goal was to find a place at noon for that evening on a Friday night, not expecting it to be easy. I decided on Carmine's and called, leaving them a message that we would be dropping in at 5:00 PM and hoped they could accommodate us for bar seating. As a backup, I made a best-available reservation on OpenTable, hoping for the best or planning to just drop in and wing it. Well, amazingly, at 3:00 PM I got an email saying that they had made us a reservation at the bar and would see us at 5:00 PM. Then, an hour later, OpenTable emailed and told us they had us down for a table. So, I called back to let them know to cancel one, and we ended up having a table reserved in the bar area, which I prefer, as typically we get more personable and casual service. This accommodations was so easy when I expected it to impossible on such late notice on a Friday afternoon. Ultimately, we arrived to immediate seating in the bar table with a view of the gardens and the greenspace that was just so relaxing. I felt like I was in a country club garden party, top notch. We received excellent treatment from our server--a nice guy, I believe Nathan. Service was so prompt that I asked to drag this out, since we would be sharing plates. Because I noticed how fast the other tables got their food, I asked that every course arrive serially with a cocktail or wine between each. This was perfect for us to really enjoy the food and service. We ordered Caesar salad (asking for anchovies), a lobster pasta special, and Osso Buco with drinks, ending with affogato (which isn't on the menu, we just asked) for dessert. Carmine's reminded me of going to Sinatra at the Wynn in Las Vegas, which is a great compliment, as Sinatra is fabulous. Our service was professional, and our meal and drinks were paced out perfectly per my instructions. We also used the valet, and that was perfect, as I really don't like to park in congested areas such as downtown Bellevue.

We love Carmines and went regularly to Il Terazzo Carmine downtown (and still do) which is why we…read morepicked it for our anniversary. Unfortunately same great food but too many other issues to give it the 4 star it would usually earn. We love the breadth of items, the authentic preparation, the small and large size pastas & salads and the "old school" service charm. You are going to be well taken care of and will have great, authentic Italian food. That said, we ordered a salad (to split) and an appetizer but unfortunately our mains came out almost immediately before we had finished either. We then decided to eat the appetizer after the mains which was sort of ok but the damage was done. We appreciate them taking off the charge for the appetizer. They knew they screwed up (a step better is to take the mains back rather than just leave them) and did what they could. The service was otherwise great. A couple of pro tips: sit outside or in the back room, it is noisy otherwise. And, don't valet unless you have to, our car pickup was delayed and there are enough good options at $12 plus tip prices that are close by.
