The first few times I paid a call on Carmine's, my belly was already full, but I observed that the heft and satisfying appearance of the heros and hot entrees was matched by the heft and satisfied appearance of the patrons.
On a day I returned with something like an appetite, two respectably fit-looking officers of the JCPD held down one table; the others were occupied by couples, and a family, with the easy-shouldered posture of regular customers. Most were settled in over plate meals, but like the men in blue, my modus operandi favors mobile deli grub.
Ordered at the counterman's recommendation, that's the sandwich with grilled chicken, roasted red pepper, and fresh mozzarella. The "small" ($6.50) provided a hot half-sandwich at the deli, but the balsamic dressing (tweaked with a little garlic) didn't fully kick in until the cooler second half, down the road. Carmine's fresh mozzarella makes an appearance in many cold sandwiches, too; on a return visit, rare roast beef will be a likely pairing.

Exactly! This sandwich is really delicious. I had tried eating it. And it’s really yummy. Actually, I am planning to go back on that place to try it again. My appetite is still finding that kind of food.
