Excellent food!! Portions are large so you may want to
Excellent food!! Portions are large so you may want to split. Service was great. The restaurant is small so you will probably need reservations. Well worth it!
Excellent choice on Hanover!
Excellent choice in the Italian North end. For an appetizer we ordered the mussels which were very tasty. For entrees my wife ordered the Puttenesca which was spicy and delicious. I ordered the chicken Cardinale and a side of pasta that could feed 4

The apps and salads were excellent and the lobster ravioli was so fresh. Can't wait to go back to try more things!

Amazing food in the heart of Little Italy
One of the best meals of my life! We had fantastic service and would 100% go back if we were in Boston again. Huge portions and incredible quality.
Fantastic Italian American Food
Authentic bustling Italian American vibe. The food was stunning. From the raw tuna to the prawns to the incredible meat balls and pasta. Excellent house wine by the glass
Absolutely awesome dinner.
We had the best Carbonara we have ever had, and we have had it all over the world.
Magnifico!
First visit and it won't be the last! Magnifico! Chef's kiss to all the pasta, the bolognese, the meatballs, the sausage, the calamari and the popping clams.

We couldn't get a reservation at Carmelina's so we walked up (fully booked). We spoke with the manager and all but begged for dinner as it was meant to be the highlight of our night. We got put on a waitlist with 16 people ahead of us for 8
Book early, as this popular place fills up.
The reservation system uses this platform--which is really a review rather than a reservation system--and we had trouble actually confirming the link that was sent to us. This created some unecessary anxiety but we enjoyed our meal here at this intim

3 stars because I liked the complimentary bread more than my main, which was the Crazy Alfredo. I came here right when it opened for lunch, after unsuccessfully trying to get a table for dinner a few days before. Due to the popularity of Carmelina&

I booked this restaurant after seeing it recommended all over TikTok as one of the best Italian spots, and it definitely lived up to the hype. Reservations are required here, so I made sure to secure one about three months before our trip that's
Amazing food
Found this place by accident and it ended up being the best choice. The food was all amazing. You need reservations but worth a wait too.
Everything.
The service was exceptional and the food was unbelievably delicious. We were a party of 4 and shared because there were so many great dishes to choose from. I have already recommended Carmelina's to many people. Fabulous restaurant in the North
Make the reservation and go! Solid Italian food.
Keep checking for openings, we snagged 1 lunchtime opening the night before. And that was the only reservation open for the next few days! I think someone might have cancelled last minute. I noticed at lunch it wasn't full at opening, so you m

The handmade pasta is delicious.
Located in Little Italy, the restaurant has a great location and a charming atmosphere. However, it's often crowded and there's a line. If you don't have a reservation, you might have to wait for a table.

White girl in front of me asked very "sweetly" if she could pls get seated (2 people) and the person seated her. I was next and asked for to-go, was denied, asked for a table for 2, was told minimum 2 hour wait. Way to be racist! It was a
I cannot imagine Carmelina's getting a bad review.
The food here is a perfect combination of Italian and Italian American cuisine. I've traveled through Italy, and I've been to Carmelina's at least two dozen times in my life, and their menu is as good as it gets anywhere. Outstanding s

Impossible to get a reservation.
Tried to secure a table for 2 for the past 6 weeks. Not sure how one gets a reservation.
Food was good, service not so much.
Took forever to get refills which I had to ask for even though they pasted by a few times. Didn't know who waiter was as no one checked on us. This place is so tiny and people / staff keep bumping into chair. Seating is uncomfortable at the bar
Always So So Good!!!
First, it was really difficult getting a reservation, so plan ahead. We were finally able to make reservations and then realized that they also did some walk-in folks, so we would’ve been OK for lunch either way. My Lobster Ravioli with Tiger Prawn
Had a pleasant dining experience.
The sushi was fresh and well-prepared. The tempura was crispy and light. Staff were friendly and helpful. Prices were a bit high but worth it. Would recommend.

Small and compact restaurant, but amazing food and wonderful service. You definitely will not go home hungry.
Disappointing
I was disappointed. I did enjoy the house salad and gorgonzola penne, but it came out several minutes before my husband’s entree which had very overcooked vegetables. I didn’t find the staff friendly or welcoming. The best part was sitting at
Great food, all kinds of different dishes to choose from.
Service is excellent Recommend making reservations to assure a table.

Came across this restaurant by chance while on vacation in Boston. We decided to stop in based on how good it smelled from the sidewalk. The gentleman (I believe he was the owner) that greeted us explained reservations were pretty booked right now, b
Connect with users posting reservations for Carmelina's Boston
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Carmelina's Boston. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Carmelina's Boston at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Carmelina's Boston page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $5.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $5.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $5 bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at Carmelina's Boston to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PerceptiveWash44 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $5 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Carmelina's Boston!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
