Carmelina's Boston Reviews
Absolutely awesome dinner.
We had the best Carbonara we have ever had, and we have had it all over the world.
Magnifico!
First visit and it won't be the last! Magnifico! Chef's kiss to all the pasta, the bolognese, the meatballs, the sausage, the calamari and the popping clams.

We couldn't get a reservation at Carmelina's so we walked up (fully booked). We spoke with the manager and all but begged for dinner as it was meant to be the highlight of our night. We got put on a waitlist with 16 people ahead of us for 8
Book early, as this popular place fills up.
The reservation system uses this platform--which is really a review rather than a reservation system--and we had trouble actually confirming the link that was sent to us. This created some unecessary anxiety but we enjoyed our meal here at this intim

3 stars because I liked the complimentary bread more than my main, which was the Crazy Alfredo. I came here right when it opened for lunch, after unsuccessfully trying to get a table for dinner a few days before. Due to the popularity of Carmelina&

I booked this restaurant after seeing it recommended all over TikTok as one of the best Italian spots, and it definitely lived up to the hype. Reservations are required here, so I made sure to secure one about three months before our trip that's
Amazing food
Found this place by accident and it ended up being the best choice. The food was all amazing. You need reservations but worth a wait too.
Everything.
The service was exceptional and the food was unbelievably delicious. We were a party of 4 and shared because there were so many great dishes to choose from. I have already recommended Carmelina's to many people. Fabulous restaurant in the North
Make the reservation and go! Solid Italian food.
Keep checking for openings, we snagged 1 lunchtime opening the night before. And that was the only reservation open for the next few days! I think someone might have cancelled last minute. I noticed at lunch it wasn't full at opening, so you m

The handmade pasta is delicious.
Located in Little Italy, the restaurant has a great location and a charming atmosphere. However, it's often crowded and there's a line. If you don't have a reservation, you might have to wait for a table.

White girl in front of me asked very "sweetly" if she could pls get seated (2 people) and the person seated her. I was next and asked for to-go, was denied, asked for a table for 2, was told minimum 2 hour wait. Way to be racist! It was a
I cannot imagine Carmelina's getting a bad review.
The food here is a perfect combination of Italian and Italian American cuisine. I've traveled through Italy, and I've been to Carmelina's at least two dozen times in my life, and their menu is as good as it gets anywhere. Outstanding s

Impossible to get a reservation.
Tried to secure a table for 2 for the past 6 weeks. Not sure how one gets a reservation.
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
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
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.

Small and compact restaurant, but amazing food and wonderful service. You definitely will not go home hungry.
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.

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

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

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

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

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
* EternalAnt36, 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.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 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 EternalAnt36 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, EternalAnt36 receives the $5 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36'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.
