Carmine’s

The Italian-American tradition originated in Southern Italy, with Catholics abstaining from eating meat on Christmas Eve and replacing it with fish.

Carmine’s holiday seafood feast starts with their fan-favorite Fried Calamari, and a choice of Baked Clams or Clams on the Half Shell, followed by Shrimp Cocktail. For the entree, there’s a choice of red or white Clam Sauce over pasta, Mixed Seafood with pasta, Shrimp Scampi, and Salmon Oreganata. As with all their dishes, each is served family-style, more than enough for four to six people, for a plentiful feast. The special is $350 and is available for dine-in only, with reservations required.

For Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, additional specials available for dine-in, take-out, or delivery include Roasted Beef Tenderloin ($175) with grilled asparagus, contadina potatoes, and roasted mushrooms, pan-seared Chilean Seabass Cioppino ($140) with clams, mussels, and scallops, and Penne Boscaiola ($45) with sweet Italian sausage, spicy soppressata, and mushrooms.  Their full menu of classic Italian dishes will also be available
