We got there that sat us down immediately The waitress did not wright anything down but Got everything right you could tell she was very experienced the places decorations were so good.

Best homemade pasta! We have been going for years and they always provide the best meals and nicest staff.

We came here for a late lunch with family who lives by this place. The first impression was seeing how italian they made the interior, I really liked it. I ordered the appetizer sampler. The fried ravioli was absolutely amazing and so was the marinera. Not sure if it is home made or not but it tasted like it was. Also the onion rings are amazing and absolutely humongous. My wife got the buffalo chicken wrap that was also huge with nice juicy chicken with just the right amount of sauce. I thought the prices were very reasonable and the service was great.

I've dined at Carmella's Cafe throughout the last several years when visiting the Utica / New Hartford area. This occasion was my first take-out experience. Once again, I was impressed and not at all disappointed as the to-go food was equally as scrumptious as previous meals. Of course I ordered Utica's Best Chicken Riggies! I paired this with a cup of Chic-O-Rina soup. I exchanged the olives for extra mushrooms. My cousin ordered the same but had hers prepared the normal way and paired with a side salad. We also requested bread which was accompanied by delicious whipped butter with herbs. The food was delicious and the portions were plentiful allowing for leftovers. Our meals were bagged and ready upon arrival. I highly recommend Carmella's and specifically, the chicken riggies!

In a town saturated with Italian restaurants this is the best. Incredible red sauce and nice staff.

If you need someplace to eat late at night on a Sunday or Monday, this is the place to go! My partner and I went on a late Sunday evening, and were absolutely delighted! Our waitress, Nariya, gave us some of the best service we've had around here. She was so attentive and personable- we loved her! What a great representative of Carmella's she was! It turns out that 2 for 1 drinks are automatic, and they are delicious! Glad I had a designated driver! They had some great holiday special drinks. I had the sugar cookie martini and my partner has the cranberry mule- which kicked like one! As for the food? It was excellent! The handmade fettuccine was great, nice and al dente. The sauce stuck to the pasta, as it should! Lots of flavor and herbs in it, too. It's on special on Sundays, as well as chicken riggies, the latter being a really great deal! My partner had a blue cheese burger that was excellent. Perfectly cooked! I have a feeling we are going to be regulars here, late at night. The menu is extensive, and I am excited about exploring it!
