We asked our waiter Sam for his recommendations and we’re so glad we took his advice. Best Italian dishes we’ve ever enjoyed. We can’t wait to return with good friends. Excellent! Denny & Barb G.“

“We celebrated my birthday at Carmelo’s, our first time there. The experience was incredible, and our server was exceptional. The food was absolutely amazing & I can’t stop thinking about it! We had the oxtail pasta and the red fish. Fish is my favorite, and I’ve never had better tasting fish. Our server also convinced us to try the cauliflower, which was amazing. I’m already planning our next visit!! Shout out to Mitch and his partner for creating such an amazing restaurant!“

“As I’m writing this review I’m still in shock! I’m in Cincinnati on business and I was craving Italian. I can’t believe there’s not a line around the block just for the meatballs! My family owned an Italian seafood restaurant in NJ for 26 years and I can say without hesitation the meatballs here are the best west of Arthur Ave in the Bronx! My NJ mind is blown!“

I had the Caesar chicken salad and finished with the tiramisu, both were fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Everything was delicious. I’ll definitely be back!“

The food was amazing of course, but the service was perfect and more than what we could have asked for a great Monday night out. :) Thank you Subito!“

“My husband and I ate at forno for the first time last year. Our first experience was less than ideal. We went back for a redemption round and ended with a 10/10 experience. The hostesses were incredibly friendly. Our waiter, David, was phenomenal! He was intelligent, funny, attentive, and super helpful in navigating me through the menu with a nut allergy. Everything was delicious. My husband and I will definitely be back and we will ask for David specifically!“

“The Chef's Counter at Wildweed was an incredible experience. The space is gorgeous - so many thoughtful touches throughout the restaurant. The atmosphere was fun and energetic. Each dish was creative, beautiful, and tasted incredible. The techniques and transformation of ingredients are next level. It is exceedingly rare to find a restaurant with a unique and interesting concept that is able to execute their vision by creating delicious and intellectually stimulating food without feeling forced. Wildweed pulls it off to the highest degree. This was a meal that will stick with me for a long time. Bravo to the entire team (FOH and BOH), all stellar. There is no way there is a better meal in the city and I doubt there is a better one in the state. This place deserves national recognition.“

“Been a fan for years, this one by far best experience and customer service I’ve had. Bring on to nashville, I’ll invest.“

“We recently attended a private "pop up" dinner here. The home made pasta dishes were absolutely delicious and the best pasta that I have experienced outside of Italy. All meal courses were wonderful and unique. The chef has a true gift. The service was friendly and efficient. We will definitely return!“

“Absolutely delightful. Superbly delicious Italian cuisine, served by a friendly and attentive staff.“

“This one had really come a long way. At first we went to buffalo wings and rings and after 45 minutes of waiting in an empty restaurant with no food and 0 hope of having dinner my party of 4 left and came to Olive Garden. My server was attentive and I believe we got our entrees in about 20 minutes. They were busy but service was prompt. As someone in the industry I was pleasantly surprised and happy with our choice to end the night here. Great staff, great management, a team to be proud of!“

“A hidden Gem in Wyoming, Ohio.
The staff was exceptional! We had their meatball appetizer and supreme pizza. Both were AMAZING! Owner came over and introduced himself which shows the customer service is alive and well here!! We will be back!!“
