CARMEN’S
LITTLE TASTE OF ITALY

Carmen’s little taste of Italy originates from Carmen’s love and passion for food
which was born out of helping her mother in the kitchen. Having been raised in a
typical family with three brothers and a mother cooking three hot dinners a day, she
learnt to cook from a very young age and could only dream of having her own Italian
restaurant. Carmen’s Italian upbringing spills over into the way she presents and
cooks her meals and welcomes her guests as her family. Her menu intrigues and tan-
tilises the curiosity of her customers, keeping them coming back for more. It is an
extensive menu including many Italian favourites with several signature dishes. There
is no better place for breakfast, lunch and dinner in the picturesque Hunter Valley
where Carmen’s offers a 3 course Lunch for $35 or 2 courses for $30. Furthermore, we feature a wide range of the local Hunter Valley wines to compliment any of our signature dishes.

The fragrance of the rose always remains in the
hand of the one who gave it away
