Took my wife here for our anniversary and the service was top notch. They gave us complimentary wine and dessert which we truly appreciated. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Overall, it was a great and special experience. One of the best restaurants in Old Town Manassas!

This is a top shelf place to eat! If you like quality and are willing to pay for it, you will find it here! Everything in this establishment is first class! The food, the people and the decor! Leave the kids at home please! This is a great place for special occasions. If you get on their mailing list they will send you a really birthday offer! Alice is the owner and she is an amazing lady! Enjoy your visit! I promise you will love it! They need to work on bringing back some of the old charm and serving the food hot, my oysters came out cold. Very subpar for this restaurant.

I love linen tablecloths, good wine and tasty menu selections. We spent a lovely evening enjoying excellent service and a friendly staff. There were even sub 30 wine selections (Toscana). We enjoyed #223 Montepulciano. The meals were attractively presented on large plates which enhanced our evening. I highly recommend the pork shank! Easy 5 stars!

Made a reservation for my friends and I for dinner and we were very impressed! We tried a variety of appetizers, entrees, and desserts. Everything was delicious!

Food was all very good: bread, salad, soup, fish. I don’t like truffle oil, so the server accommodated by offering an alternate salad dressing. The blue cheese dressing was delicious but at the same time let the other ingredients come forward. The soup was served in an unusually large bowl with high sides. It was a little awkward to work around its edges. I will definitely return here for any special occasion in the future. The Portuguese red wine (Quinta de Chocopalha) was a nice accompaniment.

We hadn’t been to Carmello’s in Old Town Manassas in several years, so we recently went back with friends. They offer a corking fee, we were told it was 20 when we called, but when we got the bill, it was 25, which isn’t too bad, as we brought 2 bottles to share. Everything about the experience was excellent! Our server, Brian (Hispanic guy with longer hair tied back) was very very good! I’m calling him out, because they need to ensure all their servers are of his quality and training. He was spot-on with taking care of our table, corking and pouring our wine, making recommendations and telling us about their menu, etc. His great service definitely made the meal and experience that much better! All the items we got were great! Yes, the prices are a little high for PWC, but once you see the platings and taste the food, you’ll agree that it’s worth it! We’ll definitely return!

The service, food, wine, atmosphere, and everything about it is just incredible. We had Renee as our server and she was an absolute star. I highly recommend anything with their steak or lamb as it was incredible. They have a wonderful selection of wines that pair nicely with everything. We will be returning.
