Welcome to Carmine's

Carmine's Bar • Grill • Stage is a casual, unfussy spot in the heart of East Hartford serving up Italian standards the way they should be — honest, flavorful, and made with care. From house-made pasta to hearty entrees and desserts, there's something on the table for everyone.

But Carmine's is more than just a restaurant. With a full bar, weekly live music on our stage, and a welcoming atmosphere that keeps regulars coming back, it's the kind of place where an after-work drink turns into dinner, and dinner turns into a night out. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, catching up with friends, or just looking for a solid meal and a good time, you'll feel right at home here.

We're conveniently located at 389 Main Street, near the Pratt & Whitney campus, with a spacious parking lot. Stop in and see what everyone's been talking about — including our famous "crack bread."

What Our Guests Are Saying

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.
