Carmela's Restaurant Pizzeria

AMAZING FOOD & SERVICE. 5 Stars! Cheese ravioli, pizza, fresh toasty bread & butter...delish!

Had a horrible dine-in experience a couple weekends ago. Let me start off by saying that pre-remodel, my family and I ordered from Carmelas all of the time. Their food was very, very good. My husband and I went in on a Saturday at 12:15. There were two other tables with people in the entire restaurant with two patrons each. The young woman at the front said someone would be with us shortly. Before the waitress came over, the young woman at the front asked the waitress, "Are we doing lunch menus today?" The waitress just said, "No." We continued to sit and wait. Fifteen minutes went by and the waitress was nowhere to be found and the woman at the front was chatting with the pizza guy. Nobody acknowledged us. My husband went up to get menus and very politely asked, "Do you have a lunch menu?

We ordered delivery, the Hawaiian pizza. It was delicious and the service was fast and good. I rated atmosphere with 2 stars since we didn't dine in

Thinner pieces of chicken would Make it better. The pizza was good the first time I tried it, could have been bc I was starving. The time after that it was not good.

The pasta is often overcooked, not Al dente. 1-2 min less cook time would great. The garlic bread could be really good if it wasn’

I am originally from LI. For me, finding good Italian food in the Hudson Valley has not been all that easy. Carmella's, you did an awesome job. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was good, and the food was fantastic. This man and his family will be showing their faces at this establishment again for sure.
