Carmine's

Frommer's Review

A lot of the signals that emanate from this place communicate "family." Here we're talking about a large, loud, and in-your-face Italian family who work out their emotional conflicts with gusto, verve, and platters piled high with an amazing amount of food. Set at the most distant point of the Marina Village from the casino, this is the local branch of a restaurant that will always be associated with the Little Italy or the outer boroughs of New York City.

Even though it was custom-built, you'll get the idea that a team of decorators gentrified this boathouse, with its installation of many square yards of mahogany bar tops, terra-cotta tiles, and monumental wine racks. This place prides itself on serving portions that could feed a party of four to six diners. As such, it's at its best when family members or friends gather together and order several platters for consumption by the entire table. If you're a single diner or a couple, head instead for other dining haunts such as the Café Martinique or Bahamian Club.
