Had a great experience at Carmine's. Out server, Austin was fantastic, friendly, attentive,etc. My only concern is the 4% Credit card processing fee. That absolutely should not be passed on to the customer..

Great food, great service. We actually ate at the bar at lunchtime and the place started to fill up. We were attracted by the name; we have eaten at Carmine’s in NYC many times. This was a lucky find!

Drinks took a long time to arrive. But the food service was a lot better. Get a window seat and watch Ybor City walk past.

We went with high expectations, and we were disappointed. Fried Green Tomatoes were flavorless unless you used the sauce, as were the onion rings. Meatball sandwich was just okay. The Tampa Cuban was good. Can not say that we will be back.
