“Went to Carmelo's with my mother and sister. It was my 2nd time and their 1st time. My first visit was absolutely outstanding and was hoping the 2nd one would be just as good. It was not just as good, it was phenomenal. Starting with our server, Harris, was on top of all of our needs from the start. Extremely attentive and knowledgeable about the menu and the wine list. She happily went through the entrees and shareables with us and made some really great recommendations. We had the mozzarella with focaccia bread. Delicious. For my entree I had the Crispy Garlic Alfredo and let me tell you it was one of the best dishes I've ever had. Everything in that dish popped. The Calabrian chili gave it a little zing but not overpowering. The crispy garlic made the dish irresistible. Homemade Tiramisu for dessert put a nice bow on the meal. Special note- I had the Miller High Life beer. I have been to a few few local restaurants that offer High Life and I respect their decision to put it on the menu. Very well priced and hey, it's the champagne of beers. Kudos. Thank you, Carmelo's, for consistently putting out delicious cuisine and thank you, Harris, for making our experience amazing.”
“Carmelo’s was absolutely amazing! The potatoes with the chipotle aioli are an absolute **10/10** and a must-order. We also had the Crispy Garlic Alfredo, which was another **10/10**. I tried their seasonal Lemonberry Fizz, and it was incredibly refreshing and the perfect summer drink. The staff and service were exceptional from start to finish, making the whole experience even better. The atmosphere is beautiful with low lighting that creates a cozy, authentic vibe. If you're looking for great food, excellent service, and a restaurant with an inviting ambiance, Carmello’s is definitely worth a visit!”
“This was a great restaurant and experience! The atmosphere is cute and cozy and perfect for a date night or a dinner with friends. We got the mozzarella, simple green salad, oxtail ragú, and crispy garlic Alfredo. Everything was delicious and the portions were generous. I was excited to see some great mocktails on the menu. We will definitely be back!”

“We had an incredible experience here! The atmosphere is perfectly romantic and relaxed—ideal for a slow, enjoyable dinner. Our server, Kristen, provided excellent service; she was attentive, knowledgeable, and her recommendations were absolutely spot on. The food was the real star. We started with the focaccia bread and the cauliflower appetizer—I had never had it before, but based on her suggestion, we tried it and it was wonderful. For the main courses, the Oxtail Ragu was rich and deeply flavorful, and the Red Fish with lemon and capers was fresh and bright. We also had a side of green beans that was delicious. They have an excellent wine selection that paired perfectly with everything. We finished the night with tiramisu and espresso, which was the perfect end to a great meal. We will definitely be back!”
