So glad I was recommended to try here. Wonderful evening, great food, great atmosphere, great staff, very attentive and accommodating. It was like dining in a little bistro in Italy. Kitchen was spotless. This coming from 2 critical chefs says it all ! Will definitely be back . Thank you Carmelo's
Myself and my daughter arranged a surprise birthday for my wife for 30 people, we had a GREAT night, despite the large group of friends all the meals came out together and everything was hot, and the food was superb with plenty of choice to suit everyone's requirements. Nothing was too much trouble for the friendly staff, even the chef came out to sing happy birthday to my wife.
Ample parking in the street and a large free car park behind the restaurant.
Really recommend you pay them a visit.
Thanks to everyone at Carmelos
The most amazing food and people. One of the best cafes ever. The owners are the nicest people I have ever met and the food is fresh, tasty, lots of it and the cosy very clean atmosphere makes you never want to leave. Fresh pizzas a must.
Loved it; the food, ambiance, staff and the chef!! We had such an amazing experience. The chef's special, tiramisu is a must try. Will visit soon again to try more dishes in the menu.
I visited this place by chance while away on business and cannot get enough of this fabulous place. I will drive from our of town just to come back most definitely. Vincenzo the chef is a true Italian chef to the core. The food was simply beautiful. Elegant design of the dishes was wonderful. He was kind enough to make something for me off the menu. The dish was done to perfection.! Bravo Vincenzo. Fabulous service to boot. I will definitely be coming back again. Thanks again.
Went here for brunch with a friend and my skinny caramel latte was amazing, as was the granola with yoghurt and fruits. It could have done with a bit more yoghurt in it but apart from that it was well worth going to. I was surprised at how busy it was considering it was a Sunday late morning but clearly it's popular and I can understand why. Staff are friendly and our food came very quickly. Definitely worth going to again.
Lovely group meal this evening. Excellent food and friendly staff 🙂
From me,a five star review. Without a doubt!
The coffee is fantastic, the food is even better In my opinion.
When you stop off here, though it may seem slightly expensive (which is normal for every independent business in this district).
You will find exceptional value for money.
For me, this is the epitome of independent businesses. Fantastic quality, great feel. A pure joy to be of locality too.
The fact that a member of staff left to source ingredients for an "off menu" request. Was the tip top for me.. this is service you will never find at Starbucks or Costa.
Also, never can you expect to eat a pizza as great as Carmelo's from either of the pre-mentioned franchise's... This is proper pizza, definitely try it.
Thank you Carmelo's, I'll see you again soon.
Amazing home-cooked Italian food, great service! I travel to St Albans from the US several times a year and I always make sure to stop in to Carmelo's. The Bruschetta is amazing, the pizza is amazing, and all the dishes I've had there are also amazing!
Customer service is poor...its a shame as food is great.....miss Alice the waitress who made everyone feel special
