About Carmine's Italian Restaurants

Carmine’s was opened in 1994 with the concept of family portions designed to share by a group rather than individual portions. Brad Ritter, owner, became involved with the restaurant in 2006 and has stayed true to this original principle. The restaurant was given a facelift not long after he came on board featuring artwork by local artist Kerry Kice who adorned our old building’s interior with murals and artistic paint touches. Long before Brad was the owner, he was a fan of Carmine’s and has kept changes modest in scope to maintain the essence of the restaurant true to its roots.

"Delicious as always, I have been going there for 20 years and they always maintain incredible standards, thank you Carmine's!"
