" We celebrated my sister's birthday at Carmaleno's and everything was perfect! The food was incredible, and the staff was attentive and friendly. We started with fried calamari, which was fresh and tender. The Chicken Angelique was the star of the show; I can’t recommend it enough! So happy we made this choice for our family gathering. " (*Curated Review*)

" Mixed feelings about my experience—while the food was quite good (the Angelique dish was excellent), we did experience a long wait. The staff was friendly but overwhelmed. Would still come back due to the food, but maybe not on a busy night. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great place for family gatherings. We ordered a wide range of dishes for our dinner and were pleased with most of them. The food was hearty and filling! The waitstaff was accommodating, but they seemed busy. I still enjoyed my meal overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" The best dining experience I've had in a long time! Every dish was bursting with flavor, and the portion sizes were incredibly generous. The atmosphere felt intimate, really making it feel like a family affair. I can't say enough good things about the staff too! They treated us like family. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed with my last visit. I was really looking forward to their pizza after hearing great things. Unfortunately, it was undercooked, and the service was slow. I hope this was just an off day because I loved it so much previously. I might give it another shot. " (*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*)
