Carmela's at Macri's

Great food! The service was very good and our food came so quickly. The menu provided many options! There are children options - just ask. Fettuccini Alfredo and spinach stuffed ravioli was excellent. Salmon cooked just right which is not always the case at restaurants...The egg plant Parmesan was also delicious and authentic - atmosphere felt old world Italian - fun place!

Great place in South Bend. Staff very friendly; food good and a very enjoyable atmosphere.

We had a great experience. The food was delicious and our server Adrianna was outstanding!!! We will definitely go back. Adrianna was so knowledgeable and personable.

Service and food top notch. Our new favorite place.

Eversince our first visit, Carmela became our "treat yourself" dining. From food to service, it's 5-star rating. Will definitely comeback.

The food was excellent, and the service was outstanding!! Thank you so much for a great experience! We WILL be back soon!

The ricotta ravioli in the vodka cream sauce was probably the best I’ve ever had. My husband really enjoyed his chicken parmigiana, and the salad, bread, and herbed olive oil appetizer was delicious. Our waiter was very attentive and kind. Hope to come back!

Our server, LeAnn, took wonderful care of us! The food was delicious. We have, and will continue to recommend this restaurant to friends.

Visiting son at college and went there with some of his friends. Our waitress, Lee Ann was superb and made some great recommendations and was attentive without being intrusive. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. Will definitely be back.

Classic italian, with a themed interior of painted sky ceiling, columns and grape vines.

The dinner was a birthday celebration. We enjoyed the food and wine. Lee Ann was our server, and she did a superb job of making sure we had a pleasant evening.

When we visit South Bend (Notre Dame) we always dine at Macri's. The Italian food is outstanding. On our most recent visit at the end of August my wife and I both had a veal special (great!) and our daughter ordered her "usual", lobster ravioli. The fact that I say her "usual" means she has that same dish on every visit, so that should speak for itself for its excellence. We started with bruschetta and calamari (both excellent). The meal was followed by dessert with an order of "bomba" which is always great. The location is nice, quiet, and the staff very friendly and helpful. Dress is casual. Free parking is available.

Great food! Great service! Everyone there seemed to be happy and celebrating something:)

Visited South Bend for move in weekend at ND. We had a large party.
The service and the food was excellent. This is a family owned place and it shows by how much they care to make things right.
The have a neat deli and bakery that is attached to the restaurant, but did not get to try.
Definitely making a trip back to Carmela's

Great food and atmosphere. We had wonderful service alarm. From appetizer to dessert it was all fabulous!

Excellent food and exceptional service. Wish I had room for dessert! Waitress was very nice and smiling the entire night.

Sophomore year for college daughter

Carmela’s is our favorite restaurant in South Bend. Food is always delicious and service is great. We have taken friends to this restaurant and everyone in our party loved their food. We highly recommend this restaurant.

Fantastic meal and service

Outstanding food and service! Will be going back for sure!

Great food and great value.

Party of 7, all enjoyed a variety of dishes and drinks! Yummy!

Our server was attentive and helpful when we asked about menu items. His pacing was good in making sure we had what we needed, without hovering or rushing us. The food presentation was good and tasted as expected. We were surprised the restaurant wasn't busier since it was a Friday evening.

Everything was great -- Carmela's is still one of the best places to take out-of-town visitors. Great food and service, a wonderful atmosphere, and quiet enough (even when nearly full) for conversation. And, of course, we also love going there when it's just the two of us.

Sun was shining bright through the upper windows and no shades/blocking possible. It wasn't too disturbing, but it made looking in that direction a problem and it revealed some long wispy cobwebs overhead.

But everything was good as far as food and service was concerned.

The service was prompt and friendly, the food was very well prepared and the atmosphere was wonderful.

Always top notch service and food.

Outstanding food and great service. You can tell this is truly authentic Italian. Be sure to try the arancini appetizer! Sea Bass and Chicken Piccatta were both delicious. We will definitely be back!

Our waitress Lee Ann greeted us with a friendly extremely familiar and very helpful tone. We listened to her description of the menu and what her favorite item was. My wife had her favorite choices and my choice was her second favorite. The dinners were excellent and reasonably priced. Highly recommended to anyone that can get there

Outstanding in every respect.

Great service and atmosphere. Food was very good, especially house specialties.

We were seated at a table that needed to be set when there were many other tables available. The hostess brought silverware to the table, put it down, and told us there was our silverware and left. Server showed up later and apologized for taking so long to get to us.

Every part of our experience was outstanding. Great drinks, food, and service. All around an awesome spot. We will definitely be back!

Average. Nothing special. Didn’t love it and didn’t hate it.

Very nice server
Really good chicken parm

Consistently great food and service! Always a great dining experience.

The hostess at the door was in no hurry to greet us but once we were seated, our server was fantastic! The food was average. My chicken parmesan was thin and greasy but everything else was good. The raspberry gelato was amazing! I heard the couple next to us complain about too much dressing on their salads. This was my first time fining here. The main room was set up like a cafeteria and a little noisy.

Food and service were good but slow. Tried when visiting from out of town.

We have come to Carmela's for several of our wedding anniversaries and have never been disappointed. The decor really sets the tone for your meal, and the wait staff is always friendly and professional. The food is authentic Italian, the portions ample, and the desserts are out of this world!

Great food and great service. I went there after my graduation, and the service was fantastic and food excellent. I would recommend this restaurant to anybody.
