Review by Jose Collier

September 15, 2024

I had a lovely dining experience at Carmen's Cafe! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, perfect for a relaxing evening.

We started with the *Italian Butter*, which was a hit - warm with loads of garlic! For the main course, I had the *Angel Pomodoro Pasta*. It was beautifully fresh and seasoned just right. 🍝

Our server was attentive, ensuring we enjoyed our meal.

The highlight, however, was dessert! I can't stop thinking about the rich *Tiramisu*. I’ll definitely return to indulge again...!
