We recently hosted our daughters wedding rehearsal dinner here. Food and service were fabulous. Quaint, newly renovated restaurant that has been a family favorite of ours for more than 10 years. Miguel was flexible, very pleasant to work with. Highly recommended.

We did a lot of searching for a caterer for our venue of 150 people and chose Carmellos because of the quality of the food, price, service and ability to also supply linens, tables & chairs, all dishes/glassware--everything needed at our venue. Miguel walked us thru everything and made it so easy. We still get comments on how wonderful the food and service was. Even the venue commented on how great Carmello's was--they left everything immaculate. We were very pleased and don't see how they can be beat for quality, value and professionalism. I would use them again in a heartbeat!

The food for our wedding was so great... I have been to so many receptions where the food was just mediocre, but Carmello's provided such a delicious spread, that my guests are still raving about the meal! The owner of Carmello's was very professional and friendly too, including all of the staff.

It was nice to be able to hire a caterer, and rent tables/chairs/linens/place settings all in one place and one bill!

Most caterers have a very limited selection of foods to choose from, but Carmello's offered several pages worth of options, and you could easily make changes to any of the options, like ask for no meat in a particular pasta dish, etc.

I was 100% satisfied with the service they provided and the meal they delivered.

My wife and I had a limited budget, and after shopping around we discovered Carmello's & Little Portugal. Miguel was very flexible with his time for our tastings, offered us A LOT of options of his excellent food. The quality and quantity of his food far exceeded the cost, our catering cost came to about $65 per guest. Your are not going to find food this good at this price anywhere else.

The night of the event the staff was professional, kind, and very helpful. Everything went excellently...people are still talking about how delicious the food was at our wedding.

Working with Carmello's was truly a hassle free experience. Everything from the food to the decor they provided was top notch. As an event planner myself, I would recommend Carmello's to anyone who wants to take the stress out of planning for their special event.

I am a wedding photographer and I've worked with many wedding planners and brides. I have to say that I have never met a better caterer. There were 250 people at my wedding and almost every one of then could not stop talking about how good the food was and how prompt they were. In a wedding reception it is so important to get the people fed fast so everyone is happy and Carmello's did their job perfectly.
