Carmello's Restaurant & Wine Bar

“Carmello’s was the perfect restaurant for celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary. Stella the owner greeted us immediately and graciously. The food was wonderful, we had Clams Casino and Carciofi Fritti (stuffed artichoke hearts) for appetizers, wine and for entrees I had Pollo Tirolese (stuffed chicken breasts with crab meat, artichoke and mozzarella with a wonderful lemon butter sauce), my husband had one of the specials (salmon over polenta with capers and spinach and a wonderful piccata sauce). Our waiter and Stella came out with a slice of Italian blueberry cake with #50 candles. The atmosphere and service was great! I love Carmello’s and highly recommend this restaurant.”

“It was my first time at Carmella’s in Charleston, and the experience was incredible. I ordered the limoncello and mascarpone gelato, and it was absolutely heaven. What made the experience even better was Kendra. There was a line out the door, but she made us feel like we were the only guests in the shop. She was kind, professional, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care about every person she helped. Great customer service stands out, especially when a place is busy, and Kendra absolutely went above and beyond. Thank you for such a great experience. We’ll definitely be back!”

“We went for the first time last night. The bread is very good. Salad with house dressing was nice as well. I enjoyed my chicken parm. I'll come back to try tiramisu and stuffed mushrooms.”

“Food was delicious and service was excellent! See below. The name and location are the reasons why we called this restaurant! We wanted Italian! We called, asked how busy they were and were they able to setup a table now for our group of 12 people? They said, yes, it will be ready 15 to 20 minutes. We arrived, they were almost finished setting up our table and we were seated in about 10 minutes. The lady (owner?!?) greeted us and was very nice and friendly. Mike, our server, was truly the best! Very down to earth, funny, a lot of fun, great sense of humor, and provided excellent service. My 2 sisters in law enjoyed their meals and one received special treatment. She was waiting patiently and she got her entree first and then when Mike asked if anyone wanted anything for dessert, my sister in law said, my eyes are bigger than my stomach. To our surprise, Mike brought a strawberry cake (free of charge) to my sister in law and everyone enjoyed tasting the strawberry cake. Thanks Mike! We highly recommend Mike and this restaurant! FYI, there were issues swiping our credit cards. 2 of our families had to go somewhere nearby to get cash.”

“Dinner started with fresh baked bread and butter and a simple salad. I chose the Eggplant parmigiana. The sauce was tasty, eggplant and spaghetti well cooked, presented nicely and went together well. Waiter service is pleasant and attentive with a white tablecloth table setting - which is increasingly rare these days. A good old-fashioned Italian restaurant deserving of your custom”
