*First Timer* I came across this restaurant while on a business trip. It was a pleasant surprise. They were able to accommodate me with a pesto, linguine and salmon dinner. It was absolutely awesome. The service was amazing and the ambience was profe
The best gnocchi in King County.
Service and quality is always impeccable. Kudos! We have taken family members and they are equally impressed.
Excellent food and service.
We never felt rushed or hovered over. It was busy and noisy (many patron conversations) at lunch, but very nice atmosphere.

Really cute interior, servers are very attentive and in good spirits, food is a hit or miss. You're served with complimentary bread & butter as you sit down. I'd like to explore more of the menu but the pizza and pasta I had were just O

The clams taste like bleach and the cake tastes like box cake mix. Who ever said this restaurant was comparable to the pink door was lying.
Fantastic meal.
Sat outside with flowers all around. Meal was wonderful as was the service. One of the best Italian dinners I've had. Highly recommended.
Food is great, as is the service and atmosphere.
However, if you bring your own bottle of wine, even if it's special and not on the menu, expect to be assaulted with a $45 corkage fee! Absolutely ridiculous and abusive. They would be better off saying they don't allow you to bring wine in
Great experience. Great food and casual eleganceβ¦
I went here with my spouse last night⦠she was craving a Caesar salad and I was up for some Italian cuisine. The service here is exceptional⦠professional wait staff who are attentive is the norm. Their bread is chewy and a local sourdough. I

SCAM. Tipped and they charged my cc with even higher amount than what I signed for. Check you bill.
Definitely our FAVORITE restaurant in the City.
We often get a table in the bar area. The service if fantastic and the food is SUPERB! Located across the street from a beautiful park so if the weather permits, take a stroll after dinner. I LOVE the peppercorn new york steak but like the sauce o
One of the finest restaurants in Bellevue.
Amazing Italian food. Plus if you like seafood or steak, this place is better than most steakhouses in town, so give them a shot. Not inexpensive by any means, but the service is top notch and the food quality is outstanding. We had the veal ravioli
A bit on the expensive side but excellent service and food.
Parking validated which is necessary in Bellevue

I used to frequent this spot when I lived in the Seattle area. Since I was back in town I decided to have my birthday dinner here. The entire restaurant looks very fancy and they have a good sized patio thats beautifully decorated. Its a great place
Not at Usual Standard
I hate to be writing an βitβs not the sameβ review butβ¦itβs not the same. I love the family style service with real people who take pride in their role and itβs still there. But the food has gone down not just a notch but more like two.
Carmines Bellevue: Harassment, Discrimination, and Threats β Our Familyβs Celebration Was Ruined
On August 17, 2025, my family and I endured the most humiliating, threatening, and appalling experience of our lives at Carmines in downtown Bellevue. What was supposed to be a joyful dinner celebrating my engagement and marriage-to-be with my fiancΓ
Had a Rez through OpenTable.
Sat in the bar, which we love. Server very rushed and unfriendly. Never asked if we were celebrating... we were ...40th anniversary. Food was very good but way overpriced. I had one of the specials. Ravioli osobucco. $60!!!
Wow wow wow do not wait do not think.
Do not contemplate, run to this restaurant immediately this is a gem. This is one of the nicest fantastic restaurants I've eaten at in a long time. I'm from San Francisco Bay Area. I know a few things about nice restaurants. This is over Th

Carmines is a bellevue hidden gem.
I am a regular since 2017. The pasta and sauces are housemade and are full of flavor. They give you a starter basket of bread. They also have convenient parking in the garage around the corner from Molly Moons that is validated. The vibe is definitel
Rodrigo was professional and knowledgeable and friendly.
Food was absolutely amazing. Restaurant is beautiful and clean and upscale in a great area of downtown Bellvue.
Excellent Northern Italian Cuisine
Weβve been here before and were looking forward to dining here again. The ambience was just as nice, we even had the same table which had to be fluke. It turned out we even had the same waiter. I had the risotto with beef and she had salmon.

food thumbs up, noise level big thumbs down
Food is excellent and service is fine but the loud noise level completely overwhelmed the experience. Very hard to recommend when need to shout to the person sitting next to you to be heard, much less across the table.

Carmine's is a definite cut above most Italian Restaurants.
The service & menu offerings are elegant & consistently delivered at the highest level. This is a fine dining experience to have & to repeat ! Cozy for a couple & also a great experience for a small group. The waitstaff & kitchen
Really rude hostess.
She wouldn't sit us on a normal table just for desserts. I heard so many good things about their dessert, but we didn't eat there because of this rudeness. They would only sit us on the bar. It was our anniversary and wanted to have it on the table.

The Ambiance was the first thing that swept me off my feet.
The service was top tier and waiters made sure you were taken care of and always had your glass refilled. My husband and I agree that the peppercorn steak was the best we've ever had by far and the pasta was absolutely divine. Phenomenal service, wai

when you make your reservation, ask about how to park in the nearby garage. The staff will tell you what to do to park for free. Parking in the area is really tough so this is important. From the minute you enter the restaurant, the staff greets you

We choose Carmine's for all the special occasions. We went for Mother's Day and everything was superb (as always). Our server, Ron was so wonderful. He was so attentive and so kind to our 9-year-old son. After we ordered wine, our son wanted a so

Decided to celebrate boyfriends birthday here.
The table had cute set up of a birthday card. Service is great, food is amazing - the house made bread was warm and so soft. We orders the bruschetta- you get the trio and it was superb! Highly recommend.
Very good food very good service.
White tablecloth and waiters all addressed and what appears to be waiter tux. Even for lunch. Very expensive overall but a overall and excellent top shelf meal.
Lovely restaurant.
We had a large party and the service was great. I enjoyed - La Caprese with wonderful tasty tomatoes and Scaloppine Di Vitello Al Limone & Capperi.

I came here to celebrate my wife's birthday and my son's first visit to my childhood city, Seattle! Carmines is an upscale Italian restaurant just outside of Bellevue Park and a short walk from the busy shopping malls like Bellevue Square and Lincoln
Sat at the bar - service was amazing.
Our bartender was Matt who was very knowledgeable about all the wines on the menu and trust me there are a lot! We settled on red wine to start and dessert wine (a 10 year old tawny port and a 38 year old sherry) which were very reasonably priced. I

Carmine's was a wonderful experience while we were staying
Carmine's was a wonderful experience while we were staying at Atlantis. Resort/island pricing is a bit "extra", but at Carmine's it's worth it. We had a cocktail and glass of wine at the bar while we waited for our table. We were lucky eno

Excellent Food but Noisy
Food was excellent. Service was superb. But the Noise level made conversation very difficult. If you want quieter ask for an outside table next to the gas heaters.
Superior food, service and ambiance for our 43rd wedding anniversary. If you like good food, and Italian cuisine, this is your
My wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary and I can't think of a finer local restaurant in which to have our celebration. We are lovers of Italian food, and Carmine's has among the best. The calamari appetizer was the best I've had in my nearl
Connect with users posting reservations for Carmine's Bellevue
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Carmine's Bellevue. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Carmine's Bellevue at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Carmine's Bellevue page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ElaborateHouse74, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* ElaborateHouse74 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ElaborateHouse74 for any questions Peter may have as ElaborateHouse74 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ElaborateHouse74 now uses their connections at Carmine's Bellevue to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ElaborateHouse74 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ElaborateHouse74 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ElaborateHouse74's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Carmine's Bellevue!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
