Went Easter so I feel we would have had a better experience another day! Food definitely tasted homemade!

Best Italian meal ever; the bread and olive oil dip- delicious; salad- excellent, the house balsamic vinegrette is well balanced, entrees- veal piccata, veal saltibocca--- stellar!! While these are classic dishes, Chef Carmelo sets a new standard with the taste and execution of both dishes; in addition the orzo versus the typical pasta.. so very smart! Light but allows the delicious sauce of the dish to permeate the orzoOur server, Mike is a gem and enhanced our dining experiencePS The bar. Bravo! Testa Rossa martini- fabulous!!!We can't wait to return!!

The meal started out great. Bread and oil was fresh and delicious. Burrata appetizer with fig was a perfect choice. Soup another good choice. Caesar salad had one piece of anchovy. Maybe it's inflation maybe not but at least a few anchovy's would have been nice. The entrees arrived and we were excited. The swordfish entree was 1/4 inch thick at best and a big disappointment. The waiter also acknowledged that he hadn't seen a piece of fish that thin but obviously served it anyway. I had the shrimp and scallop lemoncello that was okay. Not great but okay. Being Italian I'm fussy about Italian food and I will keep looking. If there is a next time it will be just apps and some drinks.

Carmelo’s gave us a delightful anniversary dinner with the atmosphere of a beautiful Italian patio along with wonderful food and old world service. We were greeted like everyone genuinely cared we were there. Would recommend without hesitation, for special occasions, relaxed dining, and out-of-town guests. Worth the drive from Fort Myers and worth every penny.

I am obsessed with Carmelo's Ristorante! Their food is incredibly delicious and homemade! The Salmon Tommasso is my absolute favorite and their desserts are always fresh and yummy ?. We visit every chance we get and bring friends and family when they visit us. Carmelo's also has fabulous pizza, salads, steak and seafood entrees and a great wine list. They also have a beautiful patio and everyone is welcoming and friendly. Mariela at takeout is always so kind and friendly. They opened a new place downtown called Ortigia and I can't wait to try it !

Ambiance is wonderful. A really nice restaurant. Very busy. i tried making a reservation on their phone system. but for some reason it wasn't responding to a party of 1. Someone did call me back promptly. I decided to just take a gamble and walk in and there was. a seat at the bar. The hostess was great and the bartender was wonderful. They were both smiling and greeted me with a smile and a hello. for dinner i had spaghetti with clams. wherever I go I have to try there version. It was good but not my favorite. Seemed to be a bit flat. Wouldn't deter me from coming back. lively pleasant place with a wonderful staff. I recently visited their new place Ortega, there staff was the complete opposite of here.

Very nice restaurant. I have an allergy to dairy and it was so nice to see that there were dairy free plates on the menu. Not a plate made with dairy substitutes that chang the taste of the recipe. Just a delicious, and creative meal simply made without dairy.

This is one of THE PLACES to come for authentic Italian food ! If you want to try something different, unique and outrageously delicious, try the " caralli Bada Bing" !! Strongly suggest you split this dish as an appetizer with someone as it's so rich ! It's prepared at the table side using in house made pasta, tomatos, basel, and aged Parmesan cheese scrapped from a 100 lb wheel on the cart ! It's a show preparation and out of this world delish ! Their other dishes are excellent as well, and all pasta is made in-house !Reservations are a must in prime season, especially if you want to eat between 5:30 and 7:30. There are many good people to wait on you here, but Linda, Donna, and Colin are outstanding !! Enjoy ? ? !Features: No masks, but tables sanitized after each guest leaves the table.Parking: You may find parking hard to come by in the free lot behind the restaurant, but we've always found a place on the street within 2 blocks.Kid-friendliness: Certainly attentive to our every need !!
