    The food was phenomenal as were the cocktails. We had excellent service from the host to the server. I can’t say enough good things about this spot.

    Delicious food albeit a smaller menu with limited options. Really enjoyed the banana old fashioned. Hostess sat us at a very awkward round table that consisted of a sort of center console and a small table top for our party of 4. I requested to be moved which thankfully we were. Beautiful atmosphere. Loved the decor. Our server Ben was lovely.

    What a fun spot! Great people. Abby was adorable, so accommodating. The meatloaf was great. The pasta came out a little cold, but very tasty.

    This was a midweek dinner visit. Dining area was unique with stained glass skylights and the feel of a medieval castle interior. The food was very good and the mixed drinks were good also. The red wine came way too cold, which muted the taste considerably.

    We were out of ideas on where to go for our anniversary when our son mentioned that he did Valentine’s Day at Carmella’s and really liked it. So we figured we’d try it. Happily, we had good food, good service, and a very nice evening!

    Always love the setting at Carmella’s. First time having the cookie skillet and we will be back for another. Maybe tomorrow-it’s that good!

    Carmella's is fantastic. Don't pass this place by and think there is something better down the road. It is the jewel of East Carson and the city as well. The 4 of us came to Pittsburgh for a concert and stayed in the area. Had their Sunday brunch which was a gourmet 10 out of 10. We eat out alot and Carmella's gave me faith in the restaurant industry again. Food was excellent and creative. Service was the best. Their menu covered all basis. We are taking the 2 hour drive back to Carson Street this summer since we love the area. It will include a dinner at Carmella's as well...thank you for making our weekend in the city very special.
