Carmine's: Big in Every Way

When New York import Carmine's opened in DC, food critics and bloggers summed it up in one word: big. 

They were right.

Carmine's Chinatown location is spacious, bustling and loud. The service is negligent and rude in a big way.  And the plates are massive, barely containing the overflowing portions. The monster ravioli was very good, but the eggplant Parmesan was only memorable for being several stories high. The calamari was endless, but far too salty.  Overall, Carmine's was a big disappointment.
