“We reserved an area upstairs for a my son’s rehearsal dinner. The service was impeccable and the food was by far the best! Would give a million stars if I could! Thank you Carmen’s for such a beautiful celebratory evening!”

“My wife's go to and benchmark for carbonara. A great local fixture in KC for excellent Italian food, atmosphere and service. I got the Alfredo de Mare which was to die for and I grew up on the coast so almost never order sea food!”

“Your experience at Carmen's will always be nice. The food is some of my favorite Italian in Kansas City. I love the shrimp Carmen and the seafood artichoke hearts. The spedini is always delicious. I love how cozy it feels and the service is always great.”

"We used Carmen's to cater our wedding and they did an absolutely fantastic job. The portions are very generous for the prices and everyone thought the food was delicious. The servers were professional and helped keep our buffet line moving. We look forward to coming back to the restaurant and having some of our favorites again."

"Our favorite Italian restaurant! The Italian butter is a must. The Chicken Spiedini Oscar is amazing and can't bring myself to order anything else. I've order sides of red sauce to dip my bread in."

"Fantastic food! Fantastic service! We had a wonderful time there. The bacon wrapped shrimp in the Diablo sauce was RIDICULOUSLY WONDERFUL! The Lobster ravioli was divine. Our waiter, Shawn was en Pointe. 10/10! This foodie will definitely return."
