My sisters and mom and I ate at Carmine's on a Sunday night while visiting Chicago. We decided to duck in there while walking from our hotel - the Ambassador East on N. State.

I go to Chicago 4-5 times a year and every time I do, I go to Carmine's. Yes, the wait is long, even with a reservation. I dream of their square noodles. These are homemade large sheets of pasta with a simple tomato and basil sauce and they literally melt in your mouth. My hushand teases me because I always... more
