"Offering dinner only, this Italian restaurant offers simple, straightforward Italian-American fare with options for the whole family, like rosemary focaccia, chicken Parmesan, penne alla vodka with a choice of shrimp or chicken, and an array of pizzas (some of which would raise Italian eyebrows, like the Hawaiian- and Philly cheesesteak-styles). Carmela’s is an almost comically old-school red sauce joint, with a mural on the wall of the Italian countryside, heavy red wood furniture, and a shelf loaded down with bottles of wine." - Erin Russell
