    Always a delight to eat at Carmela’s. My Irish Canadian cousin and his wife came in for the Notre Dame game and I knew they would love Carmela’s. From the minute you walk in the atmosphere feels like Italy, the wait staff is friendly and the meal was sumptuous. If only we had room for dessert! Delizioso

    We enjoyed Carmela’s for our 23rd anniversary. They were very excited to have us from the hostess to our server. Would absolutely suggest this dining experience for special occasions or just a phenomenal meal.

    The burrata appetizer and the chicken Involtini entrée were both outstanding. The Bolognese pasta with meatballs was not good. Just tasted like tomato sauce. Did not detect any meat in the sauce at all! The biggest downside was we were sitting at a table by the windows and the tables are so close together that our chairs and elbows kept bumping into the tables/patrons next to us. Plus, they were so close together that you felt like you couldn’t have a conversation and could hear everything the other tables were saying clearly. Next time I would ask to be placed at a table in the middle of the dining room.
