Wasn't expecting much from this unassuming little establishment, but the food was spectacular: crispy, perfectly done calamari, satisfying salad choices, tasty marinara sauces with just the right zing, and some of the best garlic knots I've ever had. The service was attentive but not intrusive, and our server Barbara was delightful. A great gustatory experience in a little gem of an eatery! And not to forget the bite-size cannoli either, which have real chocolate chips in them and are melt-in-your-mouth yummy.
First time we've tried the place. They had a party going on in the other room and the food took a little longer than usual but we were compensated with free drinks and an apology without having to ask so that was stand up of them. Will definitely go back. Had a cheese pizza Brick Oven. Good flavor. Nice Krispy crust. Lots of cheese. Nice size pie

It was my birthday dinner, and I'd been to the same old Italian restaurants in the area but wanted something new. Carmela's is not really new to me...but I kind of forgot about it. It's been probably 4 years since my last visit, but I used to go there all the time. The pizza is phenomenal...they are known widely for their Grandma pizza, which is a thin crust Sicilian pie...very large and extremely delicious. I had one with eggplant last night, and it was fantastic. I don't quite know what kind of mozzarella they use, but it sure beats any other pizza joint--it has a fresh and creamy taste that you just don't find elsewhere. The same can be said for the pasta dish I had (I know...just how much carb-loading can one person do--but it was my birthday!) I ordered the Shrimp Angelica, a great dish of rotini, artichokes, red peppers, mushrooms, and shrimp--all in a very light cream sauce. No heavy, gluey Alfredo sauce here, I don't know where they're getting their dairy products, but keep it up! The difference in taste is quite noticeable between the mozzarella on the pizza and the cream in the pasta sauce. Maybe there's a dairy cow out back, I don't know. What I do know is it's a great small place with an excellent menu. It fills up quickly, so either get there early or you might have to wait. Prices are very reasonable, and it's a warm atmosphere. The only reason for 4 stars, not 5, is that the rotini was a tad over cooked. Al dente works best in pasta dishes. Try it...you'll like it.

I wasn’t impressed with the pizza sorry . When I get chicken Parmigiana on my Pizza at Anna’s Pizza in Rio that’s the way I want my chicken on a pizza . Not little dogfood size chunks of chicken. The Eggplant on the other half was the same very small pieces of Eggplant ?. You can do better way better!

Delicious Sicilian style pizza! Decor was dated but clean. Service was great!
Carmela's has the best pizza I've ever had outside of Naples Italy. True, thin crusted NY style pizza with a fresh tasting sauce and just the right amount of pizza and toppings. We started our meal with the chicken wings which are delicious and crispy. Our pizza was the Neapolitan style and too big for the two of us to finish. The beer was nice and cold. It was a very simple, unplanned meal out but we are glad we went. I have found my go to for pizza when in Stuart.
