To put is simply, this restaurant is utterly phenomenal. This is the best service I’ve probably ever received at a restaurant. The waiter, Anthony, was extremely accommodating and present to ensure a spectacular dining experience. But the food….WOW! It was abundantly clear that there was so much care put into crafting our dishes. I got the Bolognese and it was incredible! Homemade pasta, and delicious Short rip gravy. I also recommend the crazy Alfredo (personal favorite). Please go to this restaurant if you want one of the best dining experiences in the north end (just make sure you book way in advance because they are quite popular)!
I was out on a mission to find an amazing spot that had shrimp pasta. Man, did it hit the spot and fulfill my craving. Loved the whole experience at Carmelina's. The staff was kind and attentive, prices were decent. The food was absolutely delicious. This is my new favorite spot in the North End. I had their Spicy Shrimp Pasta... so GOOD! It's normally an appetizer, but I asked if they could make it an entree and they did. I also love that they don't have desserts and invite you to have coffee and dessert at the other amazing places in the North End. Highly recommend Carmelina's if you're in the area!
Great italian food, gorgonzola pasta is out of this world! Also tried mushroom pasta, was good, but not as good as gorgonzola. Tried garlic shrimp starter, very tasty. Bread was very tasty too, and good cocktails. The only issue was that the place is small and it's not that easy to get it. It was fully booked, but they suggested to leave a number in case someone cancels, which happens, and they called in ~20 minutes.
Got a wonderful meal of fresh made pasta on their sidewalk patio. The Sunday Macaroni entree is A LOT OF FOOD and a lot of meat. If you are getting this for one person you better be very hungry. But, oh that fresh pasta was so good. The staff was very attentive and we got our table relatively quickly for a busy night.

It was probably one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve ever been to in the United States! Their calamari and Crazy Alfredo were phenomenal. It is a very busy restaurant, so be sure to make a reservation beforehand! Highly recommend!
From out of town, ate here based on reviews. I was not disappointed. One of the best meals I’ve had in awhile. If there is any ding to the establishment, the carbonara was a bit salty. Enjoy!
This place was fantastic. Everything perfectly cooked. Could of used a refill on bread (only two pieces for two people). Would give 4.5 stars. Definitely get the brasato.
literally always so good. we’ve been back time and time again and the service and food have always been spectacular. love love love their carbonara and bronx tale <3

The best shrimp scampi I’ve ever had. The mussels fra diavolo was also good. Would recommend reservations as it’s very busy, even at lunch.
The exploding little neck clams were spectacular. The Sunday Macaroni was very good, felt very homey. But nothing can match the clams!
