Carmine's Tuscan Grill

Wonderful waitstaff. Calamari is fantastic. Great place to take family.

I went to this restaurant last night for the first time. We arrived shortly before closing and we were welcomed in , in spite of the time. Usually staff are perturbed near closing and treat you rudely but we were pleasantly surprised by our very nice waitress named PAULA.
Yes, the décor IS dated but I was surprised how clean it was. I would prefer eating in a room without dust collectors hanging over our heads but I was easily comforted by the attention given to our food. Salad was FRESH. Arugala salad was prepared carefully.Not a speck of soggy or rotten pieces. Piping hot fried mozzarella served with sauce on the side so it stayed crunchy.
I would LOVE to go back but we have just one reservation in doing so and it is a very minor concern but still heavy on my mind. The sign out front needs serious attention. I am embarrassed to take my parents there.
I am asking you PLEASE do your sign some justice.

Hope to visit again soon

Y he staff is warm and welcoming, the food is to die for, and the area feels private and comfortable. Like your own monolog scene in a drama.

Overpriced, mediocre Italian Food. I couldn't tell how big my portion of food was since it was buried under a gallon of marinara sauce. The interior is really odd, clunky, and outdated. Stick to the smaller hole in the wall type Italian places in New Haven for more genuine tasting food at a much more fair price.
