    This was our first time at Carmella's and it was really great! Super helpful staff and the food was delicious. We were there celebrating our daughter's graduation from college and we really enjoyed ourselves. The waitress was so helpful in recommending delicious appetizers and choices for dinner. Can't wait to go back!

    The risotto was the only food that did not get good reviews. The two people that had it said it was bland. Other than that—everything was very good. Our waitress was great!

    A cute eclectic space. Very friendly staff. Some really fun and good cocktails. The food ranged from excellent to good. There was nothing bad. Some dishes were just better than others. The person with us who had lamb said it was excellent as was the meatloaf. Crab cakes are average. Probably better off just having them at a seafood restaurant. The space is small and intimate but surprisingly noisy. Overall, I would recommend it.
