Carmello's Reviews

I cannot begin to thank the Monza's & Carmello's staff for their amazing dedication & service; they truly made our day absolutely ideal. Thank you thank you thank you

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.

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.

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.

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!

Carmello's provided the room and dinner for the rehearsal party of 33. Everything was as described. Fod was delicious and staff was very accomodating.

Carmello's catered my daugher's tented outdoor wedding reception at our home. They provided dishes and glassware that were beautiful, the food was delicious, and the service was wonderful. I would recommend them highly.

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.

Carmello's catered my June 12, 2010 wedding and they were fantastic!! Miguel and his staff were so attentive to my needs, very professional, and the food was delicious!

Carmello's was incredible. From the initial food tasting to the night of the wedding they did everythig right. Value was better than anything we researched and the food was as good serving 160 people as it is for 2 in their Manassas restaurant. How they can cook that much veal and have every price come out perfect we may never know. To top it all off we went through wedding cards the next morning and found that Miguel had snuck a gift certificate to the restaurant into the pile...they do all the little things (and big things) right and don't nickel and dime you along the way. I would recommend Carmello's and GM Miguel to anyone and will never use a different caterer for events in the DC area.

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.

Carmello's was one of our favorite parts of our wedding! The food is incredible and the value for cost can not be beat! They were a joy to work with ~ extremely friendly and professional! We LOVE Carmello's!

Excellent food, excellent service, worked with us on price for alcohol, their website was very informative and allowed us to decide the price per guest and had many food choices to pick from, and did a great job setting up all my decorations and everything was perfect!!!

I can not say enough good things about Carmello's & Little Portugal. Miguel made the entire process from choosing the menu through a fdelicious dinner for 44 guests a wonderful experience. His staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The food was fantastic. Everyone raved about the experience. I would highly recommend your stopping by for dinner and checking out the banquet room. You will be glad you did.

We were very impressed with the professionalism from Miguel and his staff. We will continue to dine at the restrurant as well as have them cater any upcoming events! Everyone at our wedding raved about the food and the staff.

We held our rehearsal dinner at Carmello's and had a wonderful time in the Little Portugal Room. The food was outstanding, and the staff was extremely accomodating with every request we had that evening.

The food and service was absolutely excellent! Being a family-owned and operated restaurant, there was a wonderfully personal feel. Overall, Carmello's provided us with a delicious rehearsal dinner and a magical night. We recommend it to anyone who needs a site for their rehearsal dinner!

I would recommend Carmellos to anyone and i would them again.Jackie, the banquet manager and the staff were amazing, delicous food, everything was perfect.Thank you Carmellos team.

My husband & I wanted to do a low key wedding, and in the process of buying a home...well we were on a tight budget, so we wanted just our closest friends and family of about 30-35 people.
I searched and searched. Carmello's was very flexible with planning, and making sure things went smoothly & making sure we had everything we wanted.
FOOD- AMAZING!!! We had some food critics among our family & friends, and they were blown away. We went in and tasted everything, and was able to pick and choose what we wanted.
The catering manager was very sweet and accomodating. She was very responsive. I think sometimes it was hard to find her because she wasn't in all the time. But over all she made sure EVERYTHING was to my liking.
The atmosphere was very warm, and chic!! Honestly we were happy with our decision!!!

We received so many compliments on how good the food was! GREAT JOB Carmello's and thank you for all your help in the planning and set up. I had never done this before, so it was nice to rely on your ideas and professionalism. You helped to make the day as perfect as we worked so hard to make it.

The team at Carmello's provided me with an awesome rehearsal dinner venue and accommodated my needs very nicely. I appreciated Aimee's professionalism!
Their food is great too. Definitely happy overall, although maybe a little over priced.
