" I was thoroughly impressed by my experience at Carmelina's. The family-style portions were not only generous but came at a reasonable price. The authentic Italian flavors made each bite satisfying. I was seated at the early dinner hour and experienced good service from the staff who were eager to help. Just be aware of the high noise level in the restaurant as it fills up. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great place to grab a bite in the North End! The pasta dishes are not only large in portion but also prepare really well. I think the reason this place is so popular is its authenticity; each bite screams genuine Italian. The ambience is lively but can get extremely packed, so patience is key if you walk in without a reservation. Will be coming back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" The moment I walked into Carmelina's, I could feel the warmth and passion that went into every dish they serve. I'm a huge fan of Italian cuisine, and this place did not disappoint! The eggplant appetizer was crispy and bursting with flavor, while the chicken parm was simply divine. It's a cozy little spot, so definitely book a reservation in advance. I can't wait to come back after hearing so much praise about their seafood dishes. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Carmelina's after hearing so much hype around it. The food was tasty, especially the shrimp scampi, but the place was packed and a bit cramped, which detracted from the experience somewhat. The waitstaff were kind but busy, which slowed down the service a little. I still walked away satisfied with my meal and will definitely try to book a table next time for a more comfortable experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Carmelina's is a hidden gem! The pasta dishes are authentic and the flavors are so vibrant that you can tell they use high-quality ingredients. I tried their famous tuna appetizer, and it was phenomenal! However, the restaurant can get quite loud, making conversation difficult. The staff were friendly, but our service was a bit slow due to the busy nature of the restaurant. Definitely worth the visit if you're in the North End! " (*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*)
