"In its heyday, Carmine’s in Century City was a glitzy industry hotspot where tuxedo-clad waiters served A-listers linguine and clams. That’s not the case anymore, even if the Hollywood types never totally left. This tavern-like restaurant is a gathering spot for CAA agents and Fox backlot crewmembers who dissect box office numbers at the table. The service is warmer than the food, which generally arrives room temp and in need of seasoning. But Carmine’s is such an escape, we can forgive all that. The staff and ambiance make this a pleasant place to eat gloopy veal parmigiana, listen to Dean Martin, and forget the outside world for a while." - brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder
"The Titanic Sundae at Carmine’s at the Forum Shops at Caesars features six softball-sized scoops of ice cream served on top of a chocolate torte and topped with fruit, hot fudge, whipped cream, and chocolate wafer straws. It’s the over-the-top sundae that birthday wishes are made of." - Janna Karel
