" I had high expectations going to Carmelina's based on the reviews I'd read, and it certainly met them! The vibe is lively, and the staff are incredibly attentive. We tried their famous crazy Alfredo, and wow, what a flavor explosion! The portion sizes were so big that we struggled to finish our meals, so go hungry. The only downside was the noise level; it was a bit hard to carry on a conversation. Overall, I’ll definitely be coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a delightful experience at Carmelina's! Every dish was made to perfection, especially the seafood options. I enjoyed the scampi pasta, which was rich with flavors. The service staff was excellent—very knowledgeable about the menu and attentive without being overbearing. The only downside was how crowded it was; we had to wait a bit for our table, but it was definitely worth it. Will come again for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our experience at Carmelina's was simply superb. The food was delightful, with a true Italian flair. The pasta was fresh and cooked to perfection. For an appetizer, we went with the calamari, and it was the best I've had. The staff provided remarkable service throughout our meal, always checking in without being intrusive. We'd definitely recommend making a reservation as the place fills up quickly. Can’t wait to come back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Simply wow. I had the pleasure of dining at Carmelina's recently, and it was a fantastic night. The chicken parmesan was the best I've ever had—crispy, tender, and full of flavor. I also appreciated the welcoming staff; they checked on us frequently without being intrusive. It’s a small space, so a reservation is essential. The ambient noise was high, being a Friday evening, but it added to the bustling vibe! " (*Curated Review*)

" Carmelina's has become my go-to spot whenever I'm in the North End. The rigorous reservation process is worth it, as every bite at this place demonstrates the chef's skill and dedication. I loved the gnocchi and could not get enough of the garlic bread. The only downside was the waiting time, but the food arrived quickly after ordering. Excellent service topped off an excellent dining experience. Already counted the days to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a great lunch at Carmelina's today! The staff were very welcoming and made me feel right at home. I ordered the chicken parmesan and a caprese salad. The salad was fresh and the chicken dish was quite generous in size, though I could've used a bit more sauce on the chicken. The ambient music was a bit too loud for my liking, but overall a fantastic experience. I’ll be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Carmelina's! The portions were impressive, and every single dish we ordered was bursting with authentic Italian flavors. The atmosphere did feel a tad noisy due to the crowd, but the quality of the food made up for it. The wait staff were generally attentive, although we did have to remind them a couple of times for drink refills. Now I completely understand why reservations are a must here! " (*Curated Review*)
