My best friend and I had a cannoli lobster tail and it was life changing. Best dessert treat I’ve ever had.

I’ll elaborate on my one star rating after I preface this review by stating that 99% of our experience was top notch. My dad, myself and my 3 kids came here for dinner Saturday 8/17/24. I wish I could remember the waitress’s name because she was top notch. Great service, super friendly and on top of everything. The bartender was also super friendly and attentive as well as another waiter. And almost all of our food was very delicious. However, my dad ordered veal saltimbocca. It was a very sloppy put together on the plate and the cut of veal was extremely fatty. Needless to say, my dad nicely told the waitress that it was good, which she kindly agreed and asked to get him another dish. After she went back to the kitchen, the chef stormed out to our table to confront my dad and tell him to his face he was wrong that the dish was not bad and shoved a raw plate of veal in his face and kept saying “no no no you’re wrong. No fat”. I am still seething after this. It is absolutely ridiculous how unprofessional this was. I’d be embarrassed if this was a member of my staff. It’s unfortunate because everything else was so good. But I’ll be sure to tell everyone I know about our experience. Very very unfortunate
Dropped in while traveling because the food looked great on Google and Carmella’s did not disappoint. The food was amazing and the service was excellent.

Excellent food, excellent staff and service, and great prices… All in all an extremely enjoyable night out for dinner… and even an after dinner drink on the house! Will be back again soon.

Great food; a genuine Italian menu, and a decent price. Portions are more than generous. We went on a Wednesday, and there was plenty of seating available and we were seen almost immediately. Its tucked out of the way but definitely worth the drive, we will be coming back back here.

Great local classy Italian restaurant. The service is almost as good as the spectacular food. We had a gathering there of family and had a great time. All ten of us had different meals and each was well satisfied with our choices.
The service was wonderful, they made us feel like regulars there even though it was our first time visiting.
We will return.

Just tried this establishment tonight and overall disappointed considering we read mostly good reviewsWe ordered the steamed clams with scampi sauce for an appetizer. The clams themselves were overcooked but the scampi sauce was delicious with the bread they served which was also deliciousI ordered the shrimp scampi for dinner and that was very goodMy daughter ordered the shrimp and calamari over linguini fra diablo, all the seafood was tough and overcooked and the sauce was thick and almost burnt lookingNever saw a Fra Diablo sauce like itIt's a shame. We really wanted to like it being that it is in our neighborhoodIdk Maybe just a bad night

I’ve finally found a place to become a regular! Great food, reasonable prices, fantastic staff. Not a wide selection of beer/wine, still enough of a selection to please most. Place looks a little aged and is off the beaten path, but you will find a gem here.Marsala, francais, scampi, calamari, fra diavlo, and zuppa di clams - can testify all are top notch. Large portions and great desserts. Feels like home cooking if you had a chef or Italian mother in the house.Try this place, you won’t be disappointed.

Had a luncheon here for a family funeral and they couldn't have done a better job. They even played the music we requested during the luncheon. Top to bottom, highly recommended. Thanks guys.

Really great Italian restaurant. They do a family style dinner on Fridays which includes salad, antipasto platter, 6 different dishes and a desert tray. We went with a group of 8 and all of us ate very well and we had plenty of food left over to bring home. Also the bread they serve is amazing. Angelo does a fantastic job. All of this cost us 23.99 per person which is just unbelievable.

Great food friendly atmosphere! Everyone was so nice!!
Sauce is too acidic. They put the salad in the same bag as the hot food which caused the salad to be hot and wilted. The food wasn’t to my liking but everyone’s different. Personally would not recommend.
