    We were visiting our son in in Pittsburgh. We found Carmela‘s on open table and just chanced going there. It was such a wonderful experience. The service was excellent, the food was delicious and the live music was the cherry on top! Thank you for making our visit to Pittsburgh so memorable!

    We went to Carmella’s for Mother’s Day !! We had a special menu , which was fine , however they ran out of a few items - which was disappointing!! I wished we could have ordered off the regular menu then !! But everything was delicious!! Loved the atmosphere- just a really fun place !! I will come back to try it again !! 💗

    I took my mom and daughter for lunch/dinner (3PM reservation). We were seated immediately and greeted well. It was very clean and moderately loud. The specials were explained and the carafe of Mimosas was definitely worth the money. The food was not a delay. We enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. I enjoyed the food. I will definitely go again.

    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.
