Everything was super delicious and the service was great. Thank you. Already recommending to family and friends. The wine and old fashions were also tasty. ”
“ While on a work trip, we were told we should try Ristorante Carmelo, and Im so glad we did. The atmosphere was wonderful, the service was great and the food was amazing! We ordered the scampi and carroza for appetizers, and I ordered the braised beef ravioli with a marsala sauce. It all looked and tasted amazing! I will definitely be back the next time I am in the area Im from Maine! ”
“ The lasagna was delicious and the portions were huge. We also enjoyed the meat and cheese board for an appetizer. It had a good selection of meats and cheeses. ”
“ On a girls trip, we had dinner here, and it was AMAZING! Our server Robert knew the menu very well and made excellent recommendations for us. The food was so good! If you are in the area, put this place on your list! We will go back on our next visit. Also, the best drinks we had the whole trip were here! ”
“ Good Italian on the coast? I was skeptical at first and admittedly went in with really low expectations. However, my opinion changed drastically by the end of the meal. First off gorgeous place! They do a nice job of greeting you and taking you for a little walk to show the place off on the way to your table. Nice touch. Started with the Carrozza as an appetizer. It was phenomenal and really got my mouth watering! The lady ordered the Lasagna for her main dish.. maybe a more appropriate name would be the ginormous mountain of deliciousness. Yo.. this slice of lasagna was absolutely huge. The best part it tasted amazing. It was great! I ordered the Pollo Francesco. Wow! So many layers of flavors and beautifully presented. Highly recommend!! So, when the wife got to the middle of this mountain of lasagna, the center was a little cold. She asked the waitress to heat it up and she obliged and we continued to eat. At the end of the meal, the manager came to our table to apologize for the lasagna not being fully warmed. We explained that we understood and it was no big deal. He offered to remove it from the bill if she didnt want to finish it. Obviously, she couldnt finish it cause of how much was there but we wanted to take it with us. He stayed and chatted for a moment and then left. He then came back and let us know he was sending a dessert home with us as an apology this was super cool. He didnt have to do that. He didnt have to offer to take the lasagna off the check we didnt complain once about it. But he did anyway and then when we still declined, he ensured we would leave with smiles by putting the dessert in the bag. This is great customer service! We were extremely happy about our food. Even happier with the service and attention to detail throughout our entire visit. We will definitely be back. No doubt about it! Oh.. and the leftover lasagna was still very very good reheated in the microwave the next day! Looking for a really good meal on the beach? Go here. Do it. ”
“ First time here and the food was amazing. The staff is friendly and professional. They have daily specials, and do happy hours appetizers. I had the braciolenitte a veal dish.
