The restaurant is welcoming and quite fun with music and it's lively and nicely furnished.
The starters (croquetas and panko prawns) were really tasty.
Tonnarelli with clams were nice but compared to other local restaurants, the portion of pasta was small although there were enough clams.
The octopus was tender but the sweet potatoes were cold and the bread at the bottom of the octopus was soggy.
It is on the pricey side. But then all of Fregene is!
Spanish mood for this stylish restaurant. I had scallops with jamon hiberico and paella and really liked it. The atmosphere is cool and cozy
Everything about Casa Carmen made it a memorable dining experience. The decor and ambiance was nice - a good spot for date night, a casual dinner, or group setting. The food was delicious! Went with a group, so we ordered many of their dishes and shared family style. If you want a large dish, I recommend the paella or squid ink pasta. Both were big plates, delicious and filling. The squid ink pasta was the best part though - you know it’s the real deal when it stains your lips and fingers! I hope to come back here again another summer.
The paella was so salty we were only able to eat a bit of it, my tongue is still numb.
The place is perfect for my taste. Well lit, spacious, with proper distancing (none wears mask, i just kept my mask hanging with its lace in case someone will ask 🤭) I noticed that diners are regulars here. The staffs are all polite, very attentive, suggestive and well mannered.Menu is interesting. First, I had frittura di gamberi e calamari ( seemed not soaked in oil), a generous portion but unfortunately the gamberi are a little bit raw and soft while calamari are mixture of salati e sciapi. A very clever preparation I believe. You can set aside salty if you prefer sciapi. 😁Then I had my primo medaglione con capesante e gamberi. Delicately done I believe. It seemed that the chef is an expert to preserve the filling perfectly. A good plate but sad to say that I am not fond of cream. Wine list complements the menu. I tried Grechetto (13% ,,, of Castello di Corbara) Not bad. A good wine to try with a reasonable price. The most interesting part of my dinner is a free taste of their special starters, a fried "thing" with cream of baccalà filling. Very appealing. For the dolce, I tried the semifreddo al pistacchio. Crema di pistacchio with white chocolate and coconut granules on top. È buonissima! I will definitely go back for this dolce. Recommendable for those who would like to try menu with delicate and elegant presentation.
Love this place! Food, staff, service and the entire atmosphere are all outstanding.
