Carmella’s Plates & Pints is the first restaurant for co-owners, Carmella Salem and Michael Alberter. Our kitchen creates upscale comfort cuisine.
Our dining room has a warm and cozy feel due to the wood- beamed cathedral ceiling, open fireplace, taxidermy and stained glass windows that adorn the dining room. Our guests feel as though they are tucked away at some destination lodge that exists in the heart of the Historic Southside. Local meats are delivered daily with Wild Game plates on the menu such as our staple plates like the Bison Burger and Smoked Wild Boar Meatballs. We do have an intimate 60 seat dining room and ask that guests please call us for parties of 6 or more to make a reservation. Our expansive Whiskey Bar boasts over 500 Selections. Enjoy 11 Wines on Tap / 27 Craft beers on Tap / 11 Cocktails on Tap.

    A neighborhood favorite that always delivers. We prefer it to other places that can be really noisy. The high tops are cozy, the service is great, and the food is excellent. Also, they have an extensive collection of tequila, bourbon, and scotch.

    Carmella’s is truly a gem in the South Side Flats! All of the staff are so quick to help and insanely kind and caring - we feel like family every time we dine with them. Could not ask for better food or drink as well!

    Food was great. Mike Bruno was great. But service by the waitress was poor. She was slow and we had to clear our own table. Her performance won’t discourage us from coming back

    The Carmella’s breakfast menu item was great. The hash browns were special and much better than just plain potatoes as they had a delicious sauce on top. The peppered bacon was good too. The bourbin glazed banana dish was also really good too. Wait staff excellent too.

    Great atmosphere and impressive bar selection. If you’re a bourbon fan, this might be the Bar for you. The food left a lot to be desired. Service was lackluster. Overall, would go back for drinks at the bar, but pass on the food.
