Carmelina in Markham

4.1 / 5.0 - corporate dinner. Place was pretty much what I expected. Well run Italian restaurant with older, veteran staff. Everybody knows what they are doing . The 4.1 was because there were a number of misses in my experience. 1) food was good, not great. My salad was swimming in balsamic dressing. The bruschetta was 80% bread and 20% tomatoes. Should be more 60/40. The soup was okay but bland. Veal was nice, but Demi glacé was a bit off. Risotto was very nice. Dessert was tasty - tiramisu is light and worth trying every time. Fried calamari and shrimp are very tasty. 2) service was mid. Attentive, but a bit robotic and through the motions. No salt or pepper, and we went from appetizer to dessert in 60 mins or so. If you live nearby it s worth it. Decor is fun, Roman style.

The staff was rude and they upcharged us on our ticket when we split the bill into two tickets

Went for a company party. Staff were very nice and able to have a good laugh. Food was good and tender. Appetizers were full of flavor. I had the tenderloin steak and it was tender.

They had fresh uni the night we were there.

The food was delicious, the prices were reasonable, and better than comparable restaurants. Carmelina is the go-to restaurant for great food, service and consistency. The atmosphere is a.little dated yet makes up for it in many ways. Seating is very comfortable with white table service and all round winner. There was nothing on the menu that tasted bad, a very safe bet that has something for everyone. Would I eat there again? Definitely yes!

It was great and food was awesome and waitresses was nice Vegetarian options: Great Dietary restrictions: It was ok

Great food.....even better service. We went for my birthday. I cant remember ever being in a restaurant that tried so hard for all of you to get what you want. 2 of our pasta dishes werent even on the menu. This place really has it together. They made everyone at the table feel special and the food was excellent. I was so happy I selected this restaurant for my birthday.

A nice hidden gem of regional Italian cuisine, impeccable service, nice wine list, extensive menu of daily specials, fresh pasta, large servings, great atmosphere with live piano & guitar performer on certain days. The go-to place for fine Italian food in Markham.

This was our second time here, and it proved that the first visit was not a fluke.

My husband brought me here for my birthday, they made us feel very special. Inside and outside the restaurant is absolutely beautiful, with a very rustic warm feeling.Our server and hostess were so kind, and the food was delicious. They were also incredibly accommodating of my allergy. Will definitely be coming back - a great spot for an Italian date night!

God bless them. They gave us such a nice experience for our dinner after the proposal. Highly recommend.

Very good food and service Expect to pay for the quality items available that is well worth it Food

Nestled in Markham, Carmelina Restaurant effortlessly combines outstanding cuisine with impeccable service. During our recent dining experience, we were thoroughly impressed by every aspect of our visit.

Carmelina takes pride in sourcing the freshest ingredients, and it truly shows in every dish. Each bite was bursting with flavor, showcasing a perfect balance of creativity and tradition.

Adding to the restaurants charm, Carmelina features live music. Their music set the perfect tone for the evening, enhancing the ambiance and making our dining experience even more enjoyable.

The staff is so friendly and attentive, it totally elevates the dining experience. The food is great as well, so good, large portion sizes! Will definitely be returning!

Everything was wonderful and very delicious, I highly recommend it and of course we will go again.

We went there for dinner last night All I can say is amazing food Service The waitress Tina absolute doll Such a beautiful lady the music Was beautiful One of the best restaurant experience I ve honestly ever had Thank you for amazing night!!!!!

My spouse and I have visited and enjoyed dinner at Carmelina for many years, and never disappointed by the food, service and atmosphere. We always look forward to our next visit.

My lovely friend took me out for my birthday and I love the vibe of this restaurant! The food was great, Im vegetarian and non- alcoholic so they generously custom made both my meal and my drinks! The staff are so friendly that its refreshing to meet such kind people! I would definitely recommend a visit here!

I generally love the piano player entertainment but tonight the volume was way too high became annoying instead of pleasurable.

Really enjoy the dinner tonight. Staffs are very nice. The food is amazing.

I ordered their seafood risotto it was just plain, not too much flavor. The place was empty

The decor could stand an upgrade but the food can t be beat. Excellent food and great service. The best Caesar salad I ve had in recent memory, and my martini was superb. If you appreciate food with primo ingredients and prepared with exacting standards, this is the place!

Excellent italian restaurant. The quality of the food is top notch for really good value. The atmosphere is really nice too. The staff are friendly enough. Overall, a really great experience.

Amazing restaurant. They had live music which paired well with the ambiance. Food was delicious and portions were very generous. Food

Good food, friendly service, nice decor, upscale yet affordable.

Great place!! The food and service were fantastic. Had the pasta special at lunch and it was super tasty with shrimp, and sausage.

Very delicious food and so accommodating if you want to change anything in your meal! Such a calm and relaxing vibe! Would come again!

Every thing perfect

Stopped into Carmelina for an early dinner after just flying into the area. The staff were nice and efficient. The food was excellent, I enjoyed the lamb very much and was most impressed. I can happily recommend Carmelina for a great meal.

Had a team dinner here. Place was relatively empty but food was delicious. Had the pork and lamb special - literally the best lamb shanks I ve ever had. Our server was fantastic and very attentive ensuring we had everything we needed and glasses were never empty.

Food quality is always 5*. Staff always make you feel at home. Highly recommend this if you want great quality Italian food.

Great food but the service is what truly shines at this restaurant. The staff is extremely polite and professional and the food comes quickly. Also has a nice atmosphere with some live music. Definitely recommend coming here!

Food wasnt bad, the grilled octopus, the lamb and the tiramisu was nice. However it was annoying when they kept asking us for bread (to make more sales i guess) and it felt uncomfortable to eat there honestly as we were just an ethnic couple while the others around us were more bigger groups or white and so they were obviously getting a lot better service while I felt rather uncomfortable and forgotten for the most part when eating there. Wont be coming back.

Steak and shrimps were great

Jan 2024 Great food, great service, great atmosphere (especially the live music)! Tho the portion of the food is a bit too big, I had a great night! Food

Food and ambiance was awesome, all meats are HALAL! Service was friendly and quick, I would definitely go again.

Brought a large group for an event. Service was exceptional as usual and the food was plentiful and delicious. Thank you team! Wheelchair accessibility: We had 1 walker and 1 wheelchair. It was easy to get in and out and use bathrooms.

The Food was cooked with care using quality ingredients and the staff, Valentina and Luigi were amazing with their service, I highly recommend it. Vegetarian options: Almost any dish can be customized for vegetarians,

We had family visiting from Bermuda over the Christmas holidays and they happened to be celebrating their wedding anniversary during this time. As we had been dining at Carmelina for years, we thought this would be the perfect place to honour them. And it was. When the occasion was mentioned, Louis, our warm and welcoming host and his delightful wife, Tina, surprised us with a board of delicicous desserts. We were caught off guard by this wonderfully kind and greatly appreciated gesture. They took it upon themselves to do so. Louis, Tina and the rest of the fabulous servers and brilliant kitchen staff make you feel like you matter. The food and ambiance were top notch. Everyone ordered Chicken Carmelina. I said I wasnt going to but weakened because its so good. I cant get past it. This place does not disappoint.

They have lots of seafood options, though the shrimp and lobster were a little overcooked. I highly recommend the carpaccio di manzo.

Great food and service!

We had our daughters engagement party at Carmelinas and it was spectacular! Exquisite food, warm elegant atmosphere, and a friendly and helpful staff. The price was surprisingly affordable and they accommodated our special needs like gluten-free pasta and quickly dealt with any last minute requests. Both families were very impressed. Even the grooms grandfather, a man of very particular tastes, told me it was a 10 out of 10 and held his own birthday party there a few weeks later. Whether it was for an intimate supper, a grand party, or just a really good meal (try the veal - the best Ive ever tasted!) I would recommend Carmelinas to anyone! Many thanks to the staff for making my daughters engagement a complete success!!!!

Unreal! Highly recommend. Hidden gem especially on a Friday or Saturday night. Excellent live music and food!!

The food was delicious and our waitress was Awesome and the atmosphere was immaculate, we all enjoyed our visit and will be going back in Summer

Other than the great service from our waiter /waitress Valentina, the food was not that good and simply way too overpriced. We will not be returning to this restaurant again. We were not impressed. When we got home, both my husband and I had upset stomachs. Underwhelmed. By the way, we spent $200 and were charged $3 for extra bread for our table which we thought was complimentary. We were a party of 12 total.

Everything was amazing from from the atmosphere to the food I loved amazing

great services

Celebrated my wifes Birthday at this gem of an Italian restaurant. All the food tasted exquisitely good. I personally had the rack of lamb and thoroughly enjoyed it. With a grand piano at the center of the restaurant, the atmosphere is classy. And Tina, our server was so attentive and hospitable. Were definitely coming back.

This place is amazing. Maks you feel like home with this beautiful lady and of course other gentlemans around with their big smiles serving you and make sure everything is perfect. Thank you so much for your service, food and with life music it was above our expectations.

The Spaghetti a la Francoise is a must try!

It has been a while since I have been here - but the food and staff were fantastic. I had the short rib risotto and would recommend!

Great service and delicious food

Food quality and portion were good. However, it was a bit pricy. Service was not good. I asked to bring drinks and kids foods first, but he said we cant. After dinner, they took all dishes very early, like they were closing, and we were not comfortable and enjoyed our meals. Someone played guitar in front of each table very long and loud. Then someone was playing piano, but his voice was not good. In general, I dont recommend this restaurant.

Markhams best dine-in restaurant. Superb one in service

The service is excellent. Staff is pleasing and attends quickly. Food quality and taste is good. One star less for the price , I think its bit on the higher side compared to similar restaurant. Can visit occasionally

Beyond expectations. There was even live music haha We are two girls ordered 3 appetizers, more than enough. Good portion

My partner and I did not have a great experience here on a weekend dinner. 1. Parking is atrocious. They are right beside a very busy Chinese restaurant so I ended up spending over 30 minutes trying to find a spot while my partner was waiting for me in the restaurant. I get it - not the fault of the restaurant. 2. Once we sat down, the waiter asks us if we want bread. He goes on to say the options are plain, garlic bread or bruschetta. He did not say if it was complimentary or not which is annoying to begin with. If theyre offering food they should say the price tag. What if it turns out to be too expensive? I assumed I had to pay for the bread and I chose bruschetta (assuming it would be reasonably priced - bread and some tomatoes). I soon discovered that it was $22 and in fact it was also an appetizer - I was shocked! Who offers an appetizer as bread and then charges $22 for it?! I felt ripped off and it wasnt even that good. 3. Pasta was very bad. Seafood pasta was too fishy. Very low quality ingredients. 4. Everything here is overpriced. Compared to establishments like Grazie, this place needs to review their prices. Everything was at least 10% more it should have been. 5. Automatic minimum tip on their card machine was 20%! I get that it is a recession but you need to think of your customers too!

The service and food are exceptional!

Atmosphere is nice and the food was great. Portion sizes are big too

Atmosphere was nice. Service was good but food was terrible not anywhere close to worth the money.

Amazing food and excellent service. We took our kids here on March break to show them what fine dinning is all about. Definitely be back the next time we are in town.

Great place to wine and dine. Wife stressed me out so I wine and dine myself. I don t think u will get a better quality service and food like this. If u ain t going to do it right don t do it at all and this place does it right. Had appetizers and 4 beers to fade my pain. If u wanna score with who ever u bringing here I promise u this is the spot in Markham. My only problem is every plate they brought out to the other table look soo good but I was full. Time to go home to my wife she not human she a creature. my pic had shrimp and my calamari and it was already dug into.

Food was delicious. We had the pasta of the day (seafood) and steak. Lobster and crab cakes were also great. Luigis service was incredible.

Celebrated my wifes birthday, and the food was absolutely amazing. Excellent service, and fantastic service. Highly recommended.

Great place. Great food

New favourite Italian spot! I wish I could give this place a hundred stars. We were blown away by our experience. We were a large group and ordered a ton of food, The dishes I personally tried are the mushroom risotto (amazing amount of mushrooms, rich flavourful, yum), the chicken carmelina (huge scallops and shrimp and loads of veg on the side too in a great cheesy creamy sauce), bruschetta is a must, and so much more. I loved the fried calamari, we also had a seafood anti pasta platter, beef carpaccio, yummy. We were a large group of 16 celebrating a special event. The entire staff were unbelievably accommodating. From our seating arrangement, to the dishes we ordered, and even handling substitutions, seniors, children and everyone in between. This has been the most positive restaurant experience Ive had for such a large group ever, hands down. The staff were respectful and friendly. The food was amazing! Especially for a big group, everyones main dishes arrived at the same time and were nice and hot. (Amazed at how they managed that!) The space is large and open and has a traditional Italian decor. I look forward to returning for a small or large group. Thank you Carmelina!

As usual the food, the staff, the music was spectacular. Go see for yourself.

Fabulous as always!!

Lovely spot in Markham...our Company goes several times a year! Personal familar service and good food.

Wonderful atmosphere with live music on Friday night. Food and service excellent! Will come back.

I am a regular customer and have been going to Carmelinas for many years. The food is good. No matter what you order, you know it will be good quality and taste good. Its closer to home, the staff make it warm and inviting. I love Fridays and Saturdays at Carmelinas with the live It reminds me of my Nonna and Dad as they would play guitar and sing together It gives me a little bit of bring me back home to my Italian roots.

Had a nice dinner with my friends at Carmelina restaurant! Italian, stylish, and worth visiting 100%! The food was delicious and there was this nice gentleman singing and playing the guitar. Highly recommend!

It s a must to try!

No wait time, and I hadnt made a reservation, so that was good. Service was excellent. I had been hoping to have their veal parmesan, but it was no longer on the menu. I had the Caesar salad with chicken instead, and it was very good.

Food is amazing, staff are lovely. Will definitely revisit

Nice fancy spot to enjoy Italian Always a good experience. Food : 5/5

Nice place, good food and great wine. Was a work function, so had a fixed menu. Service was good besides a bit sloppy on drink pouring. Otherwise very nice. Will have to check out regular menu on my own.

Went with a large group for a work dinner. The food was very good and very plentiful. The service was fast, attentive, and friendly. My only complaint would be that the restaurant was very hot. They have large open patio doors and therefore the air conditioning really does nothing. Because of the breeze, it was actually cooler outside. Would still recommend this place, it is very good and worth the visit. You will not be disappointed.

A very nice restaurant. Yet, as with many places the prices have skyrocketed. They had a great seafood linguine for around $30 .now the menu shows it s gone up to almost $60. No longer offer any steaks on their own only have a surf & turf too bad. The food is tasty and service is great...a nice variety. You can enjoy dining here and have a nice conversation and wine, and a romantic evening. The service was excellent. While I know prices have gone up, I didn t expect them to double.

The food is exceptional, and the atmosphere is great. The entree prices are on the higher end but not extravagant. I was a little disappointed that bread is offered for the table but then there is a charge for it on the bill. It is not an item listed on the menu.

it was good

Today enjoyed so much the food, atmosphere, service, live music, which was so amaizing , professional, virtuous player, thank you for the wonderful experiece at ur beautiful restaurant.

Great place with typical Italian cuisine

It was my first time @ Carmelina s today, The experience was faboulous. After long day at work it was amazing to expierience the outstanding service by beautiful and sweet lady from Ukraine. Loui ( I apologize if not spelled correctly) offered to make us drinks to our preference. Thank you so much for one of a kind exotic cocktail drinks. Bruschetta was also delicious. My bestie and I truly recommend Carmelina and will be returning there in the future.

What a beautiful place. The service is perfect. We brought our dog with us and the staff took care of her. She was more than welcome. The food is amazing, fresh seafood and pastas. Also, their bread.. OMG!!!!!! I recommend this place. Not for all budgets because its pretty expensive but its worth it. Also, special mention to their adorable - gentlemen who were playing piano and singing. :) You must try this place

Short rib Risotto pictured. Was quire good, but a very heavy option. Would be a 5* restaurant with a couple more options like a bolognese and maybe some simpler dishes. Mussles are fantastic. Service friendly and knowledgeable. It s a nice place. Best in the area probably.

Due to various reason we have not been to Carmelina for some time. We had lunch yesterday and it felt back home again!!! The Pasta, special of the day was Black & White pasta with lots of seafood and WOW it was soooo good! If we go to downtown to have this quality and quantily of the meal, it will be easily 50% more of what we paid in here. Claudia is great and so do all the servers! One was there 23 years and this tells us Happy employees, happy customers :D

Best Italian ristorante

Nice food and reasonable price

This is my first time coming to Carmelina. We ordered frutti di mare (seafood linguine) and their pasta of the day (mussels fettuccine with white wine sauce). The waitress then asked me if I wanted bread but did not specify if it was complementary which was annoying. She then offered plain bread, garlic bread, or bruschetta. I then had to ask her if they charge for bread. Then the staff member just said it is a la carte but it was not on the menu. Seems to lack transparency. The food itself was pretty good. The portions were reasonable, but proportionally it felt there was not enough seafood in the pasta. For $36 and $32 respectively, there are definitely better options around. During our meal, the waitstaff also did not check on us at all. And promptly brought us our bill after we were done eating without us asking. With this level of service, it made me laugh when I saw 20% being the lowest suggested gratuity on their credit card machine. Overall, its okay. I wouldnt tell people not to go, but I wouldnt recommend it either

Had a wonderful lunch. Food was delicious, service was excellent!

Great food. Very good friendly service. Only have an issue with lack of transparency with billing and upselling on menu items throughout night. Brought extra bread for big party without ever mentioning bread was at a charge. We asked for one dessert platter and they end up bringing one platter PLUS extra dessert items at waitress discretion (of course which were charged per item). When reviewing the final bill / receipt, truly felt transparency could have been better. We were a bit surprised by the billing.

Food menu isn t full of options but everything is very well prepared. Ambiance is very comfortable and classy - the place is beautifully designed. The only issue we had was with the service staff trying hard to upsell us on everything and then a mix-up with the bills. Looking forward to trying here again!

Unreal food and service. The atmosphere on the patio was wonderful as well but oh wow the food! Grilled calamari and a delicious seafood/pesto rigatoni. Going back for sure...

Good service, good food but too pricey. If you go for lunch, ensure to ask for the express lunch menu which differs from the regular menu. I had to specifically ask for it, which should not be the case. Wouldnt return... Food

Amazing place with great staff !!

2023 August 3.5 A nice setting in and outside Carmelina with a white grand piano for those who are skilled. Couches and patio furniture gives this place a nice engine to sit and relax. With few people willing to splurge on the expensive menu, its certainly not crowded. Gourmet Bruschetta $19 6 pieces. Thick focaccia flat bread with tomato sauce, bruschetta mix and three cheese. Pretty good. Surf N Turf $51 grilled beef striploin and jumbo tiger shrimp with red wine jus, mixed herbs and garlic butter, served with potatoes and seasonal vegetables. Well cooked. Meat had some veins and had some tough areas. Though a single shrimp hardly makes this much of a surf and turf. Torre Di Pisa $31 grild vegetable pyramid of egplant, zucchini, red peppers, Portobello mushroom, tomato, with goat and Bocconcini cheeses, served with penne tomato sauce. HOUSE TIRAMISU $10.50 Rich espresso flavoued layers of lady fingers nestled on a mascarpone cream and.Kahlua topped with tiramisu cream, dusted with cocoa. This was pretty good and at this price, it isnt a bad option to just come for desserts. Overall, its not bad. Just a bit expensive for what it is. Service was decent.

We have visited this place a number of times. Excellent staff. Food was well presented, appetizing and flavorful. We were never disappointed. Consistent quality

Dishes are great..

This place is pretty traditional and the food is great and the service was pretty decent as well I would recommend it for a business lunch or a family dinner or first date.

Nice engaging staff but drop the piano player so guests can talk and hear each other.

Service was good. Attentive, but a little insistent on trying the soup. Food was great. I had the chicken kabob. The chicken was tender. The vegetables were cooked perfectly and not cold. Rice was how youd want rice to be. The ambiance was a bit dark, but nice. Went for lunch on a Wednesday and didnt have to wait for a table. Id go back. The salmon looked good too. Parking: Lots of parking available

Service was good. Traditional Italian food taste just ok depending on what you order

Just an amazing great dining experience...p

Excellent service. Very polite. Delicious food!!!

Great place for Italian food! Set course are decent priced and delicious!

Best food and fantastic service.

Wonderful staff and great food!!

Great halal food and amazing staff! Highly recommend this place.

Excellent food and service!! Try the crab cakes and branzino!! Amazing!

Really enjoyable atmosphere service and excellent food!

An absolutely wonderful place to gather, enjoy some delicious food along with A+++ service.

Excellent food, expensive but worth it.

Have now been to Carmelina a handful of times. The service, excellent food and authentic atmosphere are all commendable.The staff treats you like loving family members. Cant believe Ive lived only 10 minutes away for many years and only discovered it last summer. This place also has a romantic vibe, which is hard to find these days.

Absolutely love this place! Next time will bring my friends here!

Good food. Nice environment. It is full house today.

Updated Review: my partner and I returned here last night for dinner and I was very displeased after having such a good experience the first time... It was very slow Monday night atmosphere in the restaurant. They had the front area open despite the cold weather, and it was quite drafty inside. Our server was very nice but quite clumsy and dropped our bruschetta all over the table, we waited for her to come back with a new bruschetta... But it looks like they just re-plated the previous one, very not impressed. And she dropped some of the vegetables from my partners main course as well (she did bring more over after and was constantly apologizing). The fungi risotto I ordered was very bland. We ordered dessert and she cleared the plates, but then we waited over half an hour for her to come with our bill. I had high expectations for this restaurant after visiting the first time but I dont think we will be returning. Previous Review: This place was absolutely wonderful, so many helpful staff members. Food was amazing and there was even a gentleman singing, Playing the piano and guitar in the dining room. Highly recommended, I will be returning

Service was great. Staff was friendly and inviting. So many Italian seafood dishes. The short rib risotto was great.

TLDR: most amazing restaurant to host your private outdoor patio dinner. Wedding celebration/private patio dinner: My husband and I did a small intimate belated-wedding/marriage celebration dinner with our immediate families and few close friends. We really wanted to host something outdoors to be covid-friendly. Peter and the team were spectacular. They were extremely accommodating in the planning process and provided amazing service and execution of the dinner during the night. We were able to use the patio entirely. The fountain, greenery, and the string lights were so beautiful. We were able to Bluetooth speaker some chill music. The wine was amazing. The food was delicious. Im so happy with how the night went. I highly recommend anyone to host their private parties here! Thank you Carmelina

Very elegant place for fine dining. The staff are very pleasant, professional and accommodating. Went there for group lunch.

Great italian food and music. The musician even walks to your table while playing the guitar and singing. Great atmosphere and service. Appetizers and seafoods were great

Fantastic food and service. Parking: Lots of parking.

This place is beautiful inside and also has a nice outdoor patio. The service is exceptional. Friendly and courteous staff. I had the Linguini Frutit Di Mare which came with mussles, shrimps, scallops, calamari and fresh fish in a saffron red wine tomato sauce. I also had the tiramisu for dessert which was so delicious.

Very delicious dishes, especially the lamb. Good service.

Excellent pasta and veal dishes, generous portions, great wine list combined with courteous and efficient service.

Great staff, ambience and live piano creates a pleasant atmosphere. Went there after some racist Gen Z girl tried to seat us by the kitchen in an empty Keg Markham. Better service but the food was somewhat bland so seems to be for the older crowd.

Everything is delicious here. Portions are big. Very good service and live music. Great place for special occasions.

Good food. Bice ambiance and great service. More of a 4.5.

Visited today for a business lunch. Service was great and staff very attentive. Small menu but perfect selection. There is something for everyone. Fish, beef, lamb, pasta, seafood. We sat inside because the sun was very hot today but they have a lovely patio and the inside is beautiful as well. Pricing was a bit on the higher side so gave 4 stars. Food was absolutely delicious! Would definitely recommend and will be back.

A totally underappreciated restaurant. Food was good service was good and the restaurant was not too crowded. But if my visit was any indication, that might not be for long...

Outstanding service, great food and life music . Highly recommended.

Good food.

Valentina was amazing. Good friendly service. Good food and good Ask for Valentina to give you the best service. Owners note - give her a raise or bonus. She is good

I have dined here a few times. It always has excellent service, and the food is so good. I would especially recommend the Veal Scaloppini or the Chicken Carmelina. They also have an excellent wine list.

My manager took our team here for lunch. This is a lovely place with warm and welcoming staff. The food was all excellent! I highly recommend the bruschetta appetizer!

Loved the patio and the beautiful staff. Decent amount of options if youre vegetarian and if youre not many more amazing options. Definitely a good place to check out on date night Vegetarian options: I ordered an excellent pasta and it was definitely more than I could eat. Portion wise I loved it. Dietary restrictions: Note on the bottom of the menu says to alert servers in case of allergies or restrictions and they would alert the chef and modify the option. Parking: Shared parking spot for two restaurants with tons of space. Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs to seating or washroom.

Great service! Massive portion sizes and delicious food. Very accommodating to dietary restriction or even preference for type of pasta. Bonus: all their meats are halal too.

The atmosphere was beautiful, the customer service was good. The grilled chiken was hard and unfurtunatly pasta was not good at all. It was not good experience for me.

Good but they run out of food

Outstanding service. Very good atmosphere. Good food.

Not a hygienic place. Flies all over

Great food and excellent service Dietary restrictions: They have Halal food Food : 5/5 |

Over charging for inadequate quality ingredients and upsells it as a premium dish cost. They will also push tips forcing on clients with no option to pay for desired tipping but their desired tipping amount. Avoid at all cost as you will be burned.

This was a great place for a business lunch. The food was tasty, the staff was attentive and friendly and the atmosphere was cozy. I would definitely recommend Carmelina

*chefs kiss* great service and delicious food

Great service! We were in a rush and the server rushed our order to have it out within minutes! They totally went above and beyond for us. The food was great and the restaurant is very lovely Parking: good

The seafood meal, lamb rack, and salmon meal are very good, the beef brisket rice is too oily and salty, the seafood pasta is okay, the mushroom pasta is just average, the waiters are friendly, there is piano, guitar accompaniment, the singer sings classic old songs, the environment is good

Was there for a birthday. Theres 5 of us. I ordered the fish special. I was told it will be pan fried. Since it is on special, I figured it will be well prepared. when I got my plate, the fish was grilled with dark grilled marks that made the fish bitter. No sauce so it was so dry and absolutely no flavour. Just sitting on top of dry rice. The ambiance is wonderful and the guy playing the piano and guitar is fantastic. He entertained us well. He is worth tipping. When I got the bill, I was told that the tip has been pre-calculated for me. The total meal was $253.48 plus HST. When I got home, I saw the tip was $67.21. I dont mind giving that kind of a tip if the food was great but it was very disappointing for me. I wont go back.

Great food Great service

Went here for my partners work xmas gathering so I dont know how much it all costs but it seems really expensive. The portions are generally small because theyre course meals so my partner was still starving when we left. It was absolutely amazing food though. The staff was friendly and the musician was good doing piano, guitar, and singing, but I found it difficult to hear anyone over the music and other conversation around me. If youre lactose intolerant, skip dessert. Housemade cream on the tiramisu (amazing!), even with four extra strength lactose pills, still made me leave early. Vegetarian options: We got a preset menu idk if that was a group package thing but there was about one vegetarian option per course. Dietary restrictions: Not recommended for vegans. Pretty doable for my lactose intolerance minus dessert. Plenty of different meat options. Wheelchair accessibility: There arent any stairs but I cant say much about the capacity to pass through doorways, etc. The side of the restaurant I was sat at was definitely too crowded to comfortably access with a wheelchair but maybe you could do it with a squeeze?

We went to this restaurant on Friday for our office Christmas luncheon. For a party of about 20 people, the group menu was our choice. The price is exactly what was listed on their website, ie. it was kept up to date. The group menu offers enough food choices for our guest of different tastes (vegetarians, seafood lovers and meat lovers). The steak (with added extra fee) came out really good and was cooked exactly as what was expected (medium rare with reddish pink inside and medium is pink inside the meat). The portion is larger than restaurants of similar price range and more choices (3 choices of appetizer + 6 choices of main course and 2 choices of dessert). Feedbacks from our guests are very positive in terms of food quality, portion, choices of beverages and the service (even the washroom are very clean ) The servers (Louie, Lori, Peter and the other lady with long blond hair whom I forgot to ask her name) were all fantastic and know how to host party of our size. As one of the hosts of the event, I was able to relax and enjoy the company of our guests and the food. The 20% service was well deserved. We had open bar, ie our guest can order any kind of drinks. The total is about $115 per guest (inc tax and tips)
