Food was excellent as was the service. I can't wait to try their other menu items. Our waiter recommended a wine and it was above what I expected, I could have had the whole bottle!

First time there, they say the three of us at a two top. We had reservations. Food was ok, soup was bland. Calimari was good, I asked if it comes with all rings and she said I think so. The best thing there was the chocolate cake. I don't mind paying a high check if the food and service reflects the bill. I don't think we will be back. The place is very overrated

I listened through your phone options, pressed 2 as instructed, only got the whole options recording again, pressed 2 again, and still nothing. Never did get through to ask my question. What am I doing wrong? I have an Iphone.

Sharon Whitehill | Oct 1, 2021
Lena Tuthill | Oct 1, 2021

I would try pressing different option numbers. If the call disconnects, I'd call back again and again until I got a live person. It may sound crazy, but Carmelo's is craaaazy goood!

You Too | Oct 1, 2020

They have exquisite desserts!! They'll bring a huge dessert tray for your eyes to review, so, after each person has had their individual choiced meal its probably best to let personal choice take precedence so palette's get their most from the event
