Great food great environment. I thought service was a little slow since there was only 1 server so if you're in a rush it's not ideal. But otherwise they're friendly and food taste fresh and authentic. Love it and will come back later

Although they do not have gluten free alternatives for pasta, they do have two items that are naturally gluten free - the veal picatta and the salmon. They were very good but had no gluten free pasta with them. For dessert was a flour free chocolate torte which was also very good.

This is a hidden neighborhood gem. A family run small business that gets it all right--excellent appetizer (try the aroncini or whatever the name for risotto balls is), and any of the classic pastas. Even the bread and butter is great.We had been in MN for a family need. We were in the cities for the night before our flight back to Florida. We came across Carmelo's while we were looking for a place to have dinner.

Their Chicken Piccata is the best! Also amazing fresh bread baked in house. Nice selection of moderately priced wine by the glass. I’ve never had their desserts I’m always too full after dinner but have heard they are good.

They opened at 5pm and it was quite and very friendly romantic classic Italian family run business. I ordered their signature appetizer and entree. Both were presented nicely and tasted delicious. Portions were generous!

The food here was just okay and a bit over priced. I wouldn’t go back again. The service was lovely!

Great food, lovely atmosphere. Service was well-timed and attentive for the most part. Artichoke dip was especially good! Will come again.

A white table cloth & candlelit coursed Italian ristorante with gentle, mellow flavored. I liked the atmosphere and wine list but the food we had tonight needed more flavor...and salt. I did looking forward to bread with a flavored oil dip but they had pre-packaged butter bars instead, although the bread was super fluffy, soft and delicious with the butter. The calamari was a little too soft and not crispy enough and didn't taste salted at all... but perhaps the lemon aioli is supposed to make up for it? A slight disappointment, however, overall, the foods would be good for those who are severely watching their salt intake. Service was good, friendly and attentive. *Shrimp Garlic Aglio Olio, Shrimp Macalester & Calamari appetizer. *Drinks: a mixed white comprised of chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, voigner and moscato: less dry with a hint of sweetness but with a nice, lingering taste. I normally don't like any sweet white but this one was tasty. And hubby's italian beer: light.

Went to Carmelo's for our daughters 21st birthday. Always a great spot to go for special occasions. Nice intimate restaurant. Not loud, like other places. Food is always great. A fav of our family is chicken Carmelo and chicken parmesan. Wine was great too. Although I think they should do a few more gluten free options.
