    What a wonderful experience. My wife had been wanting to dine there for years but we had never gotten around to it. We went there for a special occasion. The private table allowed us to have a conversation without having to yell. Multiple wait staff made sure that our glasses and silverware were always taken care of. The presentation of the food was unique. The dessert options were very different and fun. I enjoyed the attention to detail. Thanks for a wonderful evening!

    We enjoyed a glass of wine while Carmela’s prepared our entrees; Veal Marsala & Chicken Marsala. Both were delicious. They were served with some perfectly steamed veggies and warm bread. We completed our evening sharing a chocolate bomba - Yum! Carmela’s has become our favorite Italian Restaurant.
