   The Father's Day bouquet was wonderful (a delightful surprise to us). Very, very tasty with a tremendous variety. Being just past noon, we had coffee too. Wow the coffee was great, and I had two more refills and each refill was as good as the first. The staff was attentive, polite, and accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves celebrating Father's Day as an empty-nest couple.

   For the price I paid, I really wish the food was better. Service was fine I guess.

   Our first waiter was fired in the middle of service. The new waiter and a manager apologize and offered to comp desserts. We were patient as we understand these things happen. However, the second waiter had to get our order 2 more times. The food took 1.5 hours to be served. My filet mignon was dried out. I think it might have been reheated from when they got my husbands meal wrong the first few times. We ordered dessert. However, 30 minutes later no desserts were delivered but we got the bill with both desserts charged on the bill. The waiter offered to bring them out saying they were probably sitting back there waiting, but we just asked for them to be removed from the bill. After the new bill was dropped off we waited 15 minutes with our card, but gave up and paid in cash so we could leave. We haven't had a date night in forever and were really excited to try a new restaurant with great reviews. We were so disappointed.

   Carmello's is one of the best dining options in the Manassas, VA area. Conveniently located in the Old Town district, parking is free on the street or in lots. From start to finish, our meals were expertly prepared and presented.

   What a fabulous meal we had for our 47th Wedding Anniversary dinner! I ordered the lamb dish which was done perfectly! My husband ordered the shrimp and scallop dish. His dish was loaded with shrimp, and that pasta, oh so good! Outstanding wine selection, outstanding meal, outstanding service by Javier. Go!!!

   Disappointing birthday dinner. Made 7:45pm reservation, seated promptly, not greeted by server. Finally a server showed up and dismissively took our order. After we ordered, we heard another server describing the specials to the adjacent table. The specials weren’t offered to us. Waited one hour for our food. When it arrived, it was not very hot. The food runner told us that 60 minutes was their normal ticket time. After we finished eating, it took 30 minutes for the server to bring our check. This restaurant used to be top notch- but things have clearly changed with their staff. Perhaps it’s best not to make a Saturday night reservation.

   The staff looks like they all started working that same day. Clueless, disorganized, slow. We waited 40+ minutes for our food. The bill at the end erroneously included a dessert that was ordered by one of the neighboring tables. There was a group of people who had gotten drunk and were obnoxiously loud for a restaurant at this price point. The booths definitely need renovation. The food was the only redeeming quality.

    Went to celebrate a job promotion. Everything was perfect from the complementary glass of sparkling wine, the always tender calamari, the too-good-to-put-into-words stuffed salmon and the deconstructed strawberry shortcake. Almost forgot to mention the incredible Expresso and pumpkin spice martini’s. Always our favorite place!!!

    Lovely place. Reminded me of Bazins in Vienna, VA. Main courses (short ribs, pasta with lobster) were delish. Glad we discovered this place. BTW, it was packed on a chilly Saturday night in March.

    Our server was borderline rude. We told her we would like to enjoy our drinks and needed a few minutes to order. She returned under a minute later, was not pleasant and indicated she wanted us to order. The fettuccine was subpar, overwhelmed with pesto. We felt rushed and did not enjoy our experience. Will not be returning.

    Carmelo’s is an exceptional, family owned and run business. It provides all the ambience of a fancy night out with good quality food but not an outstanding cost point. They also have an excellent wine list with a variety of wines from around the world.

    My wife and I came for my birthday today and the experience was fantastic. Our server Stephen was top notch. He was kind, appropriately chatty, and quick with service. The owner and manager even came by to wish me happy birthday, I highly recommend carmello’s to anyone who wants a 5 star experience.

    We've been to Carmello's many times over the years and have always enjoyed the food, ambiance and service. They are the go-to restaurant when you're looking for a special evening out or want to celebrate and special occasion. Never has Carmello's left us disappointed. Recommend them HIGHLY!! $$$$

    Carmelo’s is a very quaint restaurant in downtown Manassas City. It has allot of charm with a very extensive wine collection. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. The food was absolutely amazing and being it was Valentine’s Day (every table was sat) speaks volumes!! Some of our favorites were the Brie, homemade ravioli and the tiramisu(best I have ever had). Will definitely be back!!

    We have become regulars at Carmello’s. Love the atmosphere, menu, and authenticity. Service is usually outstanding but was a bit slow tonight due to Valentine’s Day weekend. Fortunately, it didn’t matter because we hate feeling rushed. This place is super cozy but you never feel like your overcrowded like some area restaurants. The Portuguese influence on wine, flavors and presentation make it a tad different than your usual Italian restaurant. The portions are perfect and the menu never gets old. The complimentary glass of champagne upon arrival is such a nice touch. This owner clearly knows what she’s doing and understands how to create a wonderful dining experience and the chef never disappoints. Old town Manassas has become very quaint and Carmello’s is the perfect dining option when you want to relax after a long week, have an amazing meal, and not deal with traffic, chain restaurants or long waits.

    There was a long wait for the main course (1.75 hrs.). However, the food was worth the wait. Our server was very pleasant and apologized for the wait time (he 4 min. estimation was more like 25 mins.). Kitchen delays are not his fault. The dining room was a bit noisy, but we were at the back of the room (not the best table) which amplified the issue. We were not put off by the minor issues and would frequent Carmello's with no doubts.
