" I had such a lovely experience at Carmaleno's. The atmosphere is comforting and homey, and the food definitely reflects that. I enjoyed the Seafood Medley and a glass of red wine, which paired perfectly. Just a short drive from the North End, this is a fantastic alternative without the chaos. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a fantastic dinner with friends at Carmaleno's. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere; it feels like home. We split a variety of appetizers, and everything was delicious. My only downside was that it felt a bit noisy at times. I’d still return for another meal soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Carmaleno's is a must-try! From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed. Each dish we tried had a personal touch, hinting at their family roots in Italian cooking. I had the veal, which was succulent and full of flavor. Always a great experience with ample portions. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried Carmaleno's for the first time last weekend and it exceeded my expectations! The Chicken Angelique was delicious, and I appreciated the authentic Italian flavors. The staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel at home. A great experience overall! I'll definitely be back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not impressed this time, food was decent but didn't live up to the hype I'd heard. I ordered the pizza, and sadly, it was undercooked. The service was adequate but could be more attentive. I think I might stick to their pasta on my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was a bit hesitant at first since it was my first time trying this place, but I loved everything about it! The food was fresh and flavorful, especially the ravioli. The portions were huge, and the prices were reasonable. The family-owned charm really shined through. Will definitely recommend to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful experience! Start to finish, I was impressed. The food was beautifully presented, and it tasted incredible. You can see that they care about their customers. I would say this restaurant is a hidden gem that's worth the visit for any Italian food lover. " (*Curated Review*)
