The restaurant is small, cozy and romantic. There are friendly waitstaff, who are conscientous about checking with patrons without being overbearing about it. We started with crab stuffed mushrooms and sweet potato soup. Both were delicious. The soup was tangy and ""herbal"". Next on the menu, the Pesto pasta. It is so flavorful with plenty of pine nuts and fresh basil. I added chicken for a nominal cost. We had the suggested wine of the evening and weren't disappointed. The feta cheese stuffed ravioli was superior. For dessert, we had the chocolate cherry cheesecake, that was offered special for Valentine's day. Very rich and delicious, the flourless chocolate espresso torte is sinfully decadent. One thing of note, the restrooms are not handicapped accessible as far as I could tell. This is fairly unusual for a restaurant these days. On the whole I would give Carmelo's 2 thumbs up.
Pros: Excellent Food, Available Parking, Friendly Staff
Cons: No Handicap Access
