Guestbook & Reviews

Experience Through Their Eyes

My husband and I just had a small wedding here. The staff is absolutely amazing, they make you feel like family and we’re so thoughtful and accommodating, it is something we will remember the rest of our lives. It really made our day special. They added extra decorations and such and were so easy to work with. They made what is usually a very stressful day, easy and perfect. The food was DELICIOUS! A lot of our guests went up for seconds, and they also came up to us saying it was some of the best food they ever had at a wedding. We can’t wait to come back for dinner. Highly recommended! Thank you so much Carmella’s!

Went here for hubby's birthday. As were early just when they opened we had to wait for the buffet but it wasn't long. The waitress was very nice and also the gentleman helping her. The food was delicious and so was my drink. It was just so relaxing. The service was great.

At some point the a/c was turned off! I asked an employee if it could be turned down cause it was very hot. She came back & opened the front & back door. You decide on your priorities! We were there for a party, plenty of room

Really great Italian restaurant. They do a family style dinner on Fridays which includes salad, antipasto platter, 6 different dishes and a desert tray. We went with a group of 8 and all of us ate very well and we had plenty of food left over to bring home. Also the bread they serve is amazing. Angelo does a fantastic job. All of this cost us 23.99 per person which is just unbelievable.
