Carmella's was a great experience. We loved the cozy back room, the round table with the fire pit was a cute touch. Our server was kind and quick. A few members of our party opted for the restaurant week menu, choosing the veal parm as their main. Overall, it was a great value. The portions were large and everything was very tasty. The dishes we ordered off of the regular menu (wagyu bolognese & burger) were also delicious. Highly recommend!!

Great vibe and ambiance. Huge bar. Very friendly service. The cocktails were excellent and priced moderately. The apps (wagyu meatballs and flatbread) were flavorful and well done. The entrees were a mixed bag. The wagyu bolognese was very good. However, the mushroom risotto with chicken was a bit of a disappointment. Overall, a great experience and good value. Will visit again.

We visited last night after help from Carmella to iron out a reservation error on our end. Making seven people happy is not easy in restaurant land, but this place pulled that off and then some. The organizer (me) got several "thank you, what a great choice" texts the same night after we left dinner. Tabitha was a really fun and professional server, with help from her very capable and friendly peers. We will definitely go back to this place with cozy, interesting vibe and a nice fireplace in the back adding to the great ambience.

The service was great, the food was so delicious, and the atmosphere was so romantic and cozy. It was decorated so beautifully for Christmas. My husband and I didn't want to leave! We will definitely be back.

They forgot one order and got order wrong. We pointed it out and it took 20 min to get meatloaf served. The server acted annoyed and the manager finally came up and said they would remove meals from the bill. When we went to order desert the server said the kitchen was closed because of New Year's. When I commented she walked away and brought burnt cream brûlée and our other desert. They brought the bill and didn't take the two meals off but I didn't want to deal with the attitude so just paid. Really disappointed given it was New Years dinner.

Can't say enough great things about our experience on NYE. The staff was amazing in every way, the food was absolutely incredible, and the entire experience was 10/10. Will definitely go back for another meal.

We had an amazing dinner at Carmella's. The restaurant was decorated beautifully for the holidays. The music was fantastic and the food was even better. Our wait staff was friendly, efficient and incredibly helpful. we will be visiting again!  I 100% recommend!
Ana
This place is adorable, very cozy, all decorated for the holidays with a fireplace right in the middle. Bar is cute, too. Host was accommodating when we needed to push back our reservation. Our server was very friendly. The food was good, the menu is a bit limited in variety, probably trying to keep it simple. We had a medium-size party and the entrees all came out at different times, so that was a bit weird. Giving them the benefit of the doubt that it was due to graduation and not the norm. Would definitely recommend and go back!

Such a fun spot! Service was perfect and food was great! Had a big group of 8 and we were all comfortable!
I LOVE the ambiance and the cocktails at Carmella's. The music (any entertainment) is fun and only enhances the experience. The extensive spirits menu is one of the reasons we gravitate here, as they literally have pages and pages of rare finds for us bourbon lovers. Equal love for the gins, tequilas, vodkas, scotch...all of it really. The food is very good! It is a small menu but the offerings are tasty. ALWAYS GET THE MEATBALLS!!! plates are small and we often go with a few couples and share. Never leave hungry this way. If you happen to be near there during the Christmas season- she has ALL of the bottles on the front bar topped with tiny Santa hats...hundreds of them. I suggest making reservations as they get very busy after 5PM.

Atmosphere was excellent, the food was tasty, hot with good portions. Cocktails and flights were well prepared and presented very tastefully.
