We've been to Carmelo's many times and have never been disappointed. It's not fancy, definitely a neighborhood place, but the food is authentic and the service is wonderful. Try the brascioletti, you'll be happy you did. And if you are lucky, they will be featuring their butternut squash ravioli

Wonderful small Italian restaurant with very tasty food. The chef is not afraid of herbs and spices and the strip steak I had was delicious and perfectly cooked. The sauce had delicious peppers, tomatoes, and mushrooms and made the dish. My companion opted for a pasta-seafood combo that was heavy with herbs and lots of garlic. The wines are largely... More

The calamari was under cooked and the crab stuffed mushrooms were cool. My signature dish, Chicken Carmelo, was good with a nice sauce but I expected more crispiness in the crust and more... More

We were driving by on our way to another restaurant and noticed Carmelos was open for weekday lunch. The good reviews I'd read popped into my head and we swung back around the block to check them out. The prices were amazingly reasonable. I ordered the special (tiger shrimp pasta) and my husband had what he always has, plain old... More
