Reviews for Carmella's an Italian Bistro in Appleton, WI
Great food, great staff, looking to go back and try some more. Wednesday, 4pm Fried Calamari, Veal Francese with green beans... over linguini, delicious lemon white wine sauce. Took home a cannoli- so good! Read more
Went there for dinner with some coworkers. The food was okay. The prices were very high and the portions didn't reflect those... prices. We all loved the warm bread with oil and balsamic. The entrees fell a little flat. A few mushrooms were terribly chewy.The desserts were wonderful and shouldn't be missed. Read more
Good food- better than most Italian restaurants around this area. Portions are generous and our server- Bradley- was amazing!!... Prices are not cheap but I believe you get what you pay for with food. They charge for the bread now which is fine with pricesgoing up but they should give you butter for it as well as the olive oil/vinegar. House salad was good but not worth $10.Tiramisu is delicious! Would like a better drink list- not everyone drinks beer or wine, but that?s likely a liquor licensething. Will definitely eat here again. Read more
Honestly, my favorite "treat yourself" restaurant in the area! My mother and I got the seared sea scallops appetizer to share,... and the scallops were melt in your mouth delicious. Her go-to meal is the chicken marsala, whereas mine is the pappardelle andboth were so flavorful and cooked perfectly. The pictures don't do the food justice! (I'm also still working on taking good foodphotos!) We are repeat customers and will continue to be repeat customers! Read more
Ive only been here a handful of times. Im never disappointed when I come. The food is fresh and from scratch. Love it.
Growing up in an Italian Family, it is hard to compare Italian Restaurants and their authenticity to what I am used to; so with... that being said, I would say this restaurant is OK. The food isn't anything super exceptional when it comes to authenticItalian cuisine . . . My mom had the Ravioli, grandma had the linguine with chicken and red sauce, and I tried the Fusilli withshrimp and a light, white wine sauce. I would say the prices are a little on the high side and to have table bread is an extra$3. We tried the Creme Brulee & Gelato for dessert and both were really good! A couple things to add for management would bethat the lighting was really dim in the evening - almost too dark to even read the menu - and the menu print is too small. There was also a cold draft - almost like the air conditioning was on - and it was cold outside; so that made it not socomfortable. Our server was very knowledgable of the menu and really friendly! Overall - 4 stars! Read more
