WORST TIRAMISU I HAVE EVER HAD. A few lady fingers on a plate, cream piled on, chocolate sauce squeezed on in a pattern and some chocolate chips sprinkled on top. No liquid, no coffee soaked lady fingers. Dry and not good. BEST PIZZA I HAVE HAD IN Florida. Get the grandma's pizza. I will say this time it was over baked and crust was cracker like. Go for the food, skip desert. The waiter tried to steer us to the cheese cake. He knew. read more

The best pizza I have eaten in Stuart. I had a pepperoni pizza and it was simply delicious, lots of cheese and it was really big. The place is very quiet, mostly for families. read more

Ehhhh... three meals. . Three busts. The service is marginal and the food is even worse. Tried the pizza... blah. ... the entrees are lack Lustre... abs do not have the broccoli rabe! Other than that, is was great. ..lol. there are plenty of other options much better. read more

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Youve managed to make the worst pizza Ive ever had in my entire life!!! Started off wrong when I called in my order the guy quickly said "be ready in 25min we accept cash and checks for take out". He said it so fast I asked him to repeat himself which Im glad I did because I wouldnt have the cash I like most people primarily use credit cards. Nonetheless I placed my order n got the cash. I knew I made a mistake the second I walked in to the restaurant. Looked like the place needed alot of TLC. Kitchen area looked cluttered and dirty. Dude behind the counter had that I dnt give a shit attitude about everything. Now to the worst pizza Ive ever had, I had a 5 minute drive home, and in that time the pizza box absorbed alot of excess liquid and started leaking on my seat, the box dripped all over on my way into my house, openned the box and a soggy disgusting pizza stared me in the face. Starving I tried eating it but it tasted as bad as it looked. I will never go back again!!! read more

This place the BEST PIZZA you could EVER eat!!I've eaten some many pizzas in my life but THIS ONE!!! OMFG It's so good and also it has natural ingredients and you can actually see and taste how great and fresh they are!! read more

Service was bad...the waitress never once came back to check on us after we ordered. She put in the wrong pizza for us and we couldnt find her to let her know. Our drinks were empty by the time the food arrived. Noone came until the busboy to ask if he could box up our leftovers. This was a Friday night...pizza was just ok...onions were soggy like they were streamed and then put on at the end??? Definitely sticking with Brooklyn Joes! read more

I recommend trying the Penne Alla Vodka, it's as good as it gets as well as most dishes and especially dining in the Lounge great atmosphere. read more

I've had the pizza, a pepperoni roll and the cheese ravioli and everything has been delicious. The sauce is so addictive I could drink it! You will not be disappointed with the food here. The service hasn't been as spot on as the food unfortunately, read more

carmellas is the best place for truee blue italian. best penne alla vodka and pizza around.

Great staff-can accommodate large parties. My family likes to have pizza parties here.

Food was ok. We were paying cash, delivery driver had no change, had no choice but to give a $20 tip. Never received our blue cheese dressing. Won't order again read more

I was here for lunch on Thursday. You can't go wrong with the pizza and subs, delish!!! Only place I would go for slices. Problem is the FLIES!! I looked up at the lamp post above my booth and poof!! It was covered in flies!! See for yourself what I'm talking about. Keep in mind I LOVE the pizza here and definitely the top 5 for pizza in stuart. But please do something about the flies! If they're in the dining room then they're definitely in the kitchen. read more

The food was good but it isn't worth going for crappy service. We went on a slow lunch day and were constantly ignored by our waitress what should have been an hour turned into almost two and a half hours and having to ask multiple times for a refill on a drink, the check or bread ( never came) is crazy. I'm an easy customer to please I wish I could have given a better review. read more

I used to really like Carmela's...like five years ago. It's just not the same anymore, in my opinion. I've tried to go a few times this year...it's always poor service, average food, overpriced wine. I even ordered something for pick up, and they completely lost my order when I got there, and were out of the item I wanted. Perfect. No thanks. I go to Anthony's or Anna's now and don't miss this place. read more

I don't eat cheese and always have my pizza without and love and always order thin crust pizza but I am not a fan of this pizza too floppy, but my family enjoyes. TO me a real pizza representing Italy should be thin crust and I like a crispy bread not doughy. The toppings seemed good and as I aforementioned everyone else said it was good, not the best they ever had but good quality pizza. The service was great. Be aware they only take cash or check WELCOME to the 80's lol! They serve more than pizza so try something new read more

This place has amazing service, great food, cute atmosphere, and it's an overall great place to go for pizza, salad, or any Italian dish you're craving! read more

Grandma Pizza! Soooo tasty. The Sausage & Pepper Roll is always a winner, too. Love this place: tasty food, friendly servers, plus the bar area is fun. read more

This place was horrid! Poor service and lousy food. Chicken Parm sub was served burnt! Pizza was reheated and tasteless. Do not eat here if you want good Italian! read more

I read some reviews about the pizza. Saying it's not NY pizza and guess what that's good with me!!! It was awesome!! Everything was good here. Service was great!! Apparently people who what NY pizza need to back to NY...... read more

The grandma pizza is the best around!! Perfect place to bring the family or have a nice date night in the wine bar. This is our go-to place when we have company from out of town! The service is always great, and the food never disappoints. read more

Best pizza in Stuart period. If you are looking for authentic NY style pizza this is your spot! They have a full menu with fantastic meals or you can just have a slice. The only downfall is they dont take credit on take out orders -- which has never stopped me from ordering a pie. read more

We are locals and have eaten here many times over the years. While I very much like the food I felt compelled to write about the terrible experience we just had. My wife called to make a reservation for 23 people at 6:15. We were at first told no problem and then about 5 minutes later they called back to tell us they want to charge us a $100 room fee charge. Ridiculous!! We are bringing them 23 customers who would conservatively spend $25 to $30 a piece. Thats roughy a $600 bill. I dont pay extra for the "privilege" of eating at a restaurant. Of course they were willing to waive the room fee if we came very early or late. So this is an arbitrary fee that doesn't make Carmelas look very good. Short term thinking and bad business. read more

This place is by far and wide the best pizza I've ever had in the state of Florida. If you love New York style brick oven pizza, this place is as good as it gets. We sat in the wine bar side of the restaurant and had the white pizza and a bottle of riesling. The wine menu is large and varied. We definitely enjoyed the wine we ordered. The people here are so friendly as well. The hostess stopped by and asked how everything was. She knew we were from out of town and was happy we stopped in. Our server was the nephew of the original owner and gave us some background on the place. All in all, we were VERY happy with the experience. I will definitely be stopping back in if I ever find myself passing through Stuart, Fl again. read more

Overpriced, bland food, topped with horrible service. Lasagna was swimming in a clear liquid along with chunks of carrots, presumably from the sauce. Pizza came out, and a minute later a busboy came over and asked if he could box it up for us? Luckily the live music was the hail Mary while we waited 30 minutes for our bill and a waitress. I've never heard so many genres of music spanned across decades all sound the same . read more

Had dinner here tonight with my family. We have dined here in the past and liked it and decided to try something different tonight with the suffed pizza. It was not something we would order again as it was extremely salty, doughy and dry. Good spot for pizza and service was great. read more

One of our favorite places to visit in Stuart. Amazing staff. Consistently great food. Nice wine selection. Extremely knowledgeable bartenders on the wine selections. Love the veggie stack! Not the nasty over cooked tomato slop most Stuart restaurants serve. Extremely fresh grilled veggie and mozzarella stack with a yummy balsamic glaze. We always look forward to visiting this place! read more

Well this is extremely upsetting because Carmella's used to be great. I don't know what the deal is but the last 2 times I have been there it has been horrible! We always got the grandmas and it used to be excellent but we decided to get a Sicilian for something different. We got home it looked great as always. HOWEVER it was completely raw on the inside. Totally disgusting had to throw it away. We haven't been back for almost a year. Well we just ordered a grandmas pie and a side of broccoli Rabe......once again get home the pizza when we 1st opened it looks good and so did the broccoli rabe. Looks can definitely be deceiving!! The broccoli rabe was absolutely tasteless. They boiled the broccoli heated up some oil quickly and dumped raw garlic in then into the container. Garlic was still raw, the water and oil mixed together and broke so there was zero flavor at all. Hands down worst I have ever had in my life....oh well pizza should be good. WRONG!!! Middle of the pizza completely grease soaked through entire pizza and all the seasoning was in the middle. Completely inedible....take a look at the pics. Sorry to say with all the pizza competition around we will not be going back there again ever. read more

See all

When you wait 2 hours for 3 pizzas and watch the owner impromptu two parties get served in under an hour, you ask for an explanation. One of two overworked waitresses tell you, "He said, "Well, that's the way it is. " Then you pay full price. If you are not one of the nameless, faceless owner's friends, you go anywhere else.. Jackass describes the attitude at this terrible place.. read more

Arrived here after lunch time and place wasn't at all busy. Waitresses were inattentive and service was poor. Food was even worse. Had chicken Parm sub and it was the worst I have ever had. Burnt to a crisp! Should have never been served to anyone! Perhaps this place has seen better days judging by the reviews. read more

I went in for lunch and stood at the door waiting to be seating for over 5 minutes without even an acknowledgement as they walked past me. I will not go back as this is the 2nd bad experience I have had there read more

All ways the best all ways great. Love this place and the staff. Pizza and meals are consistently fantastic. Try the Grandmas pizza for a can't miss experience read more

First time visiting. We decided to give it a try as Carla Holbrook was playing in the Wine Bar. As usual Carla was awesome! We enjoyed a white pizza which was good. Would have been great with more garlic. read more
