We ate there this week, had a lovely dinner with attentive service by our waitress, Lisa. The manager came over and welcomed us and expressed concern for our comfort and enjoyment. It was a perfect evening.
Great food, great service, great atmosphere.
We have been coming here for years, and never disappointed! This time was for our company Christmas dinner, and everything was excellent. Buon Natale!
Great place to relax and meet up with friends!

Carmela's Restaurant provides a warm and inviting atmosphere with large portions and a diverse menu. The bruschetta is excellent, and the tiramisu and chocolate bomba are fantastic. The family-owned establishment offers great service, with servers who are prompt and helpful, and the owner is very involved and welcoming, often checking on guests to ensure satisfaction. Customers have praised the wonderful food, including dishes like Penne Vodka, which is highlighted as a standout, and a variety of beer, wine, and hard liquor. The kitchen produces meals quickly and accurately, even during busy times. While some diners feel the atmosphere can be less energetic, it remains a popular spot for breakfast, lunch, and dinner in South Bend, especially for special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries. The restaurant also features a small grocery area where guests can buy ingredients that are hard to find elsewhere.
