What people say about Carmelina's

Many reviews praise the generous portions, spicy sauces, lobster ravioli, Bolognese, Crazy Alfredo, mushroom pasta, and garlic shrimp. Customers also enjoy watching the open kitchen in operation within the small space on Hanover Street. The downside is that the restaurant is very noisy and difficult to reserve, and some customers perceive the time limit of 90 minutes on tables as being rushed service. Some reviews mention rude treatment by the staff, although the food is mentioned positively enough times that people often make their reservations long in advance.

Restaurant overview

About Carmelina's

Carmelina’s is a tiny North End eatery that combines elements of Sicily with traditional Italian-American cuisine. The menu comprises pasta with a variety of other items such as seafood, chicken, stewed meat, salads, mussels, clams, and some vegetables.

From the perspective of a visitor who is looking for the best Italian restaurants in the area of Hanover Street, there is a lot of tasty food here as well as the cozy and bustling atmosphere instead of a formal one. Among other popular dishes are lobster ravioli, Sunday macaroni, seafood pasta, and Bolognese.

Making reservations will be done online on the restaurant’s reservations page, where one will have to go to Yelp. The tables are booked for 90 minutes so that the restaurant is best suited for an active night out in North End rather than a fancy dinner event.

The restaurant’s location will allow one to easily walk around and see Paul Revere House, the waterfront, and other parts of Little Italy. Reservations must be made, as the restaurant does not have many seats available.
