Great, authentic food. Not the cheapest, but good portion sizes. Nice relaxed environment, with friendly staff. They have a great selection of pasta dishes and pizzas.
Quite disappointed on our visit to Carmela's. Service was rushed and unfriendly - don't think the lady serving us smiled once, and she hardly spoke a word to us. Food was ok, but nothing special. For the prices, I was expecting much better. Won't be going back.
The food was very good, nothing was left! The staff were very attentive. would certainly visit again and I look forward to the summer months when we could perhaps sit outside for lunch.
I have lost count the number of times we have been to Carmelas including their first ever opening. Always had excellent food and service and this time was no different. My husband had the T-bone steak, which was exceptional. I had the ragu, which was also excellent. Do not hesitate to book.
The service was great. The food wasn't. We had a pork dish and a lamb dish so 2 of the more expensive dishes. Both were poor. Chewy meat in both. Dry with not enough sauce. Luke warm. Very disappointing. Shan't return.
I had the beef carpaccio starter with Rocket and shaved parmesan,, followed by the grilled lamb shoulder marinated in garlic and rosemary, with butternut squash and Moroccan herb couscous. which was excellent. The desserts were average, would have preferred to see exceptional traditional desserts. The ambience and atmosphere in the evening always makes the meal something special. Thank you to the staff at Carmela.
Very lovely food, nice variation from the standard chain Italian. Staff were all really lovely and knowledgeable. Will definitely be going back soon! Highly recommend.
Lovely food and friendly staff. Looked after us very well. Lovely outside area . Would recommend it to friends and family for special occasions as it's a little pricy
Overall very good atmosphere, service and food. Not a 6 only because they did not have my first choice available. Will be going again .
It was a lovely warm night, so we were able to sit outside. We were given a warm welcome, and the food and service were very good
Probably the best Italian I've had In A long time, really fresh and full of flavour. Excellent Service. Will definitely be returning to try some more signature dishes.
Good food, reasonable priced, nice ambience. However, the service was a little inattentive, our plates took ages to be cleared and it took quite a while to take our order.
Excellent service. Food not as good as on previous visits ( 6+ months to a year ago). Perfect location for a meal on a balmy summer's evening.
Great food, but we had to wait half an hour for our table which was a shame as we had booked for 7:45, and were keen to eat!
