Welcome to Carmine's

Carmine's Bar • Grill • Stage is a casual, welcoming spot in East Hartford serving up Italian food the way it should be — fresh, from scratch, and all homemade. Our appetizers, pasta, entrees, and desserts combine old-world traditional Italian flavor with a modern flair for presentation and the freshest ingredients around.

Menu staples like calamari, chicken milanese, fettuccine carbonara, and ravioli sit alongside unique recipes like pappardelle with sausage and tenderloin steaks. We staffed our kitchen with a dream team of local chefs who ensure our quality never wavers.

Pair your meal with something from our 40-seat center bar, featuring 18 craft and domestic drafts, house-made infusions, and seasonal cocktails. And when the music starts, you'll understand why "Stage" is in our name.

What Our Guests Say

Everything I've had to eat here has been excellent. Great atmosphere, and the service—honestly some of the best in the East. Don't leave without trying their 'crack bread.' You'll be back for more!

I come here often on my days off because the food is really good and so are the drinks. I especially love the meatball sliders and garlic parmesan fries. Great happy hour choices and prices. They have live music every week which I also enjoy.

The specials for happy hour are $3 beers, house wines, and well drinks which is an amazing deal! The shrimp skewers on the bar bite menu were good. They make their pasta in house each day too. I'd recommend a visit for their happy hour for sure.
