“I had the best time at Carmela’s until I got the bill. I asked Carson, the bartender to pour me a couple samples. I was talking to another customer at the bar about how much I love Montepulciano and the bartender assumed that is what I wanted and poured me the glass. Fortunately that is in fact, what I wanted so I was fine with it. It was a reasonable pour so I drank it with dinner. When I went to check out, there was 2 glasses of wine on my bill. I asked him kindly if he was sure it was 2. He said yes, which I was shocked by. I was sure he had just made an easily correctable mistake. I told him I would pay for it anyway but I really did just have the one glass. He said “you definitely had 2 but I’ll take it off”. Then he came back and said, “there’s nothing I can do about it because the card has already been charged.” I told him that it was fine, it’s only $15 it’s just the precedence for me. He then informed me again he was sure I had 2 glasses. Needless to say ,I was incredibly embarrassed in front of the new friends I had made at the bar. I paid my tab and then cried in my car because it has been that kind of week. The worst part about the whole thing was not being believed. I will not be returning to Carmela’s which is shame because I really liked the wine list.Edit: The owners truly listened and did their best to make it right. I will be returning.“

They're always friendly and quick and prices are reasonable too.Vegetarian options: You can build your pizza however you want, they're super accommodating.Dietary restrictions: I know they have gluten free pizza crust and vegan cheese, although I think those are both upcharged. Regardless, it's nice that they offer those things!“

“Ciao's restaurant serves gorgeous, genuine Italian food. This is not a bottomless bowl of spaghetti and meatballs. This is thoughtful, genuine Italian food. Every bite makes you use every taste bud. This is not anything like Olive Garden or even our other local Italian restaurants. This takes Italian food to another level. We had braised beef ravioli, shrimp bisque,, swordfish with lemon couscous....“

There used to be a mancino’s on the south side of town in the Martin’s plaza there on Ireland but it closed a few years ago - we were so disappointed!

“I MUST SAY, I REALLY ENJOYED THE PIZZA HERE. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A GOOD PIZZA PLACE IN THE AREA WHEN I COME TO TOWN FROM CHICAGO AND IF YOU FIND YOURSELF IN THE SAME SITUATION, LOOK NO FURTHER. I TRIED THEIR THIN CRUST AS WELL AS THE PAN PIZZA AND BOTH WERE DELICIOUS. I PREFER THE PAN PIZZA OVER THE THIN (A MUCH THICKER DOUGH THAT'S AIRY, FLAVORFUL, AND MANAGES TO HAVE A CRISPY EXTERIOR WHILE BEING SOFT AND CHEWY IN THE MIDDLE) I NEEDED A BIT MORE SAUCE TO BALANCE OUT THE BREAD AND THEY EXECUTED IT WELL. I HAD A GREAT SERVER THAT WAS ATTENTIVE AND VERY INFORMATIVE WHEN IT CAME TO THE DIFFERENT PIZZA STYLES THEY OFFER. THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING US WITH GREAT FOOD AND A GOOD CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE. SEE YOU NEXT TIME!“

“Absolutely everything we ate if exceptionally delicious we went for Mother’s Day I wish there could have maybe been a kids menu for the little ones. Also maybe have the servers check the table more frequently as we were never offered refills but other than the loved the food and restaurant motif.“
