Loved the food, it was a great experience.
Will visit again for sure next time when im back in town.
Impossible to get a reservation.
Tried to secure a table for 2 for the past 6 weeks. Not sure how one gets a reservation.
Always So So Good!!!
First, it was really difficult getting a reservation, so plan ahead. We were finally able to make reservations and then realized that they also did some walk-in folks, so we would’ve been OK for lunch either way. My Lobster Ravioli with Tiger Prawn
Food was good, service not so much.
Took forever to get refills which I had to ask for even though they pasted by a few times. Didn't know who waiter was as no one checked on us. This place is so tiny and people / staff keep bumping into chair. Seating is uncomfortable at the bar
Had a pleasant dining experience.
The sushi was fresh and well-prepared. The tempura was crispy and light. Staff were friendly and helpful. Prices were a bit high but worth it. Would recommend.

I tried to call Carmelita's to give this feedback, but no one answered and no email found. Very small restaurant with good service. Went there for my birthday and I got the fruiti de mar--the calamari in it was excellent--and serving size was

Small and compact restaurant, but amazing food and wonderful service. You definitely will not go home hungry.
This is a authentic Italian coursing.
I love to be there every season of the Boston. The place is cozy and the people are so happy. The meatballs are so delicious. They have a great service.
Disappointing
I was disappointed. I did enjoy the house salad and gorgonzola penne, but it came out several minutes before my husband’s entree which had very overcooked vegetables. I didn’t find the staff friendly or welcoming. The best part was sitting at
Great food, all kinds of different dishes to choose from.
Service is excellent Recommend making reservations to assure a table.

Came across this restaurant by chance while on vacation in Boston. We decided to stop in based on how good it smelled from the sidewalk. The gentleman (I believe he was the owner) that greeted us explained reservations were pretty booked right now, b

Quaint little 14 top (?) restaurant that makes the hour and half time limit go by fast! (Headed to Mike's pastry after...) Make a reservation! They were very accommodating and very nice but you will get in with a reservation. Food portions are b
Excellent service and the food was delicious .
Had the eggplant, Milanese with angel hair pasta. Server recommended the wine that goes best with our order. 5 stars all around
Service was great and food was amazing.
I definitely recommend a reservation as it is a very coveted dining experience.
Make a reservation, saw so many walk in get turned away.
The bread was some of the best I've ever had and the food was just as good. The service was excellent and they were all friendly. Would definitely recommend.
Food was amazing.
We had the bolognese and chicken parm. Atmosphere was upbeat and fun. A visit to Carmelina's for lunch or dinner is a must! But book EALRY! Service was incredible. Everyone was so happy that we were there. Oh! And the best mimosas!!
The service and the food were both excellent.
My wife and I came to Boston recently for the first time and really wanted to eat here. Reservations were all booked, but I took the chance and walked in to see if they had room for 2 and we were seated immediately!!! The bread with oil/balsamic was

A Fantastic meal. It's worth the hype and high demand to get in. Wow! Where do I even start on this review? Small restaurant so getting in was/is a challenge as I made my reservation a month in advance. suggest sitting at one of the outside tabl
Looking forward to returning!
Love coming to Carmelina’s!; location, staff and menu all rate 5 stars! Staff interact well with their cohorts and customers; Delicious menu choices; no desserts: they share their clientele with Mike’s and Modern Pastry… ( nice touch!! Alway
Delicious!
If you manage to get a reservation, come here! Very small inside and the tables due to this are close together but the food is out of this World. Freshly cooked at the open kitchen, the Crazy Alfredo was possibly the best Italian dish I’ve ever had
First Time
Amazing food and the service unbelievable! Small but quaint! There's a waitjngnline usually! We sat beside a couple from Ohio and they said. They've been there numerous times when at school in Boston. Arrived at Logan Airport re
Bring your appetite!!!
We didn’t realize it’s suggested to have a reservation before coming, but they were nice enough to work us into a small table anyway. Very small space, but the food more than makes up for it. Highly recommend. I also recommend to share your en
Great place!!!
We went here for the first time, but our kids have been here many times before. Food is excellent - don't order too much as the portions are large - and the service great. Wine list is sufficient with nice Italian wines. Atmosphere perfect. And
As Good as it Gets in the North End!
I absolutely love this place. Yes, it's small, loud, no bar and no dessert menu. There are some pretty strict rules too. Arrive on time, or you get put on a waitlist. Remember, this place has a weeks and months where you cannot get a reservation
The best Italian in the north end
I have tried a couple of times to make a reservation but never was able to find one. Today was different my wife and I were able to get in and we are glad we did. The service is excellent. It’s a very small restaurant with visible kitchen. We sta
All and all... Perfecto!
Excellent food, Excellent service. Reasonable prices for the amount of food served. Stumbled upon it for a late lunch, Friday, and decided to return Sunday. We were lucky to be accommodated both times in under a half hour. We ordered and shared th
Carmelinas is a must when in Boston
One of the best Italian meals in recent memory. The restaurant is small and they are limited in seating. RESERVATIONS SEEM TO BE AN ABSOLUTE MUST. Food was amazing. Will go back when in Boston.
Freaking amazing.
Loved the side risotto. Come in and know what you want- they will love you. We've been to Italy and this was up to par with it. Great experience.
Please - change the music !
First, let me say that the food was AMAZING. We went a little bit overboard with the menu, but ordered the Roasted Beet Salad, Chicken Parmesan, the Carbonara, Pasta with Bolognese sauce and the Sunday Macaroni. Total YUM! The only reason I rated

The tuna arrabbiata appetizer and pesce pistachio (cod), main course were both very disappointing. Both lacked major flavor, something you wouldn't expect when paying $22 and $34 per dish. The only thing that kept this a four star review and not lowe
Service was horrible.
We were there less than an hour and asked to leave after we paid, waiting for less than 10 minutes for our ride. Never in my life have I been asked to leave in that amount of time. Absolutely ridiculous. Food was amazing. Fire your waiters.
The food was excellent and the service was great.
We loved the bolognese and the risotto.

The restaurant is small, but we still got seated right at our reservation time and did not have to do any waiting. Food came out very quickly and was very hot. The scampy was very good and came with lots of garlic, which I love. The chicken parm was

Excellent food and hospitality quick service even though we had 6 people. Highly recommend
Excellent - authentic - great service
The Caesar salad was perfect; crisp, with a flavorful dressing and a generous portion of anchovies. Followed by an entree sized risotto with prosciutto and pea. The latter was moist and tasted like home made - perfect. The staff were so attentive.
A Special Gem in the North End!!!
So glad we finally got into Carmelinas. We had an early dinner … 3:00 and so worth it! Excellent service from all staff! Food was awesome! We started with beef carpaccio which was perfect to share on a hot day. For our mains we had Sunday macaroni
Terrific pasta, and a pleasant atmosphere
The food here was really outstanding. The best dish we had was the Crazy Alfredo, but the pasta carbonara was very good, and the mussels Fra Diavolo appetizer were also very good. The Italian wine was excellent for the price, $45 for a bottle of quit
Very disappointed
This was my second time getting a lunch at Carmelina‘s. This time was really disappointed, the service was terrible, no talk, just come and very rude. Horrible service and the price is really too much. The food was not so great, I missed more taste
Amazing food, less amazing service
The food here is lovely! They have a really good menu, I could’ve had so many of the dishes but went for the pasta capriciosse which I loved. All my family loved theirs as well but the only thing that lets this place down is the service. It’s a
MUST GO
Went for dinner at 4pm. Tiny place but a must go for the food. Food ratings below Risotto 7.7/10 Bread 7.0/10 Sunday macaroni 9.6/10 Crazy Alfredo 9.3/10 Carbonara 7.9/10
It’s worth besides the service
Food is very good, service is the worst. They were rude and in personal. I had a brasato with risotto and it was great. In average, 3 stars.
Good food, unfriendly service and insane expensive prices for kids
The food was delicious. We were there with my 3 year old daughter. Unfortunately the service was not really friendly. A big surprise was the check. They charged us 22$ for plain pasta for our little one. This is a reason why I will never come back.

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Carmelina's Boston. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Carmelina's Boston at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Carmelina's Boston page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $5.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $5.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $5 bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at Carmelina's Boston to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PerceptiveWash44 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $5 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Carmelina's Boston!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
