    My wife and I celebrated our 44th wedding anniversary at Carmello's in Old Town Manassas, VA on Valentine's Day 2025. Our server, Joseph, was very knowledgeable and helpful. We were very pleased with our experience. The service, food and atmosphere were all outstanding. We will definitely be returning.

    Carmelo's is one of my wife and I favorite restaurants. We had our wedding reception at Carmelo's and otherwise regularly visit. The food selection is very good and always fresh, hot, and delicious. Often time we are also offered a small flute of wine, free which is a nice touch. Also, often time Javier is our waiter who is just the right level of attentive and always professional, upbeat, and personable.

    My wife and I went there after a concert. It was SuperBowl night, so I suspect our experience was unusual. There were three tables occupied, including us, and one server. So service and food were very attentive.

    Took my wife out for a birthday dinner. It was our first time here. The food was absolutely wonderful, we had the pork belly and steak tips apps. The braised short ribs were to die for. And my wife got some seafood thing she swears was good! The complimentary rose wine as soon as we were seated, and the crème brûlée at the end of our meal were great additions as well. Our waiter Joseph was absolutely on top of his game, and answered a variety of our questions with impeccable knowledge and great attitude. 10/10 will be going back

    Took my dad here for his 80th birthday. The restaurant is lovely and staff were incredibly nice and attentive. Our waiter was so kind and patient with my dad who is a bit high maintenance. We started with the oysters Rockefeller, pork belly and salads, which were all very good. Waiter kept bringing me rosé instead of vinho verde which was not a big deal. I had the veal scallopini, which I found a bit chewy and greasy for my taste. The gnocchi served with it however, was delicious. My husband had the vieras del minho which was good, but a little bland. My dad didn’t like his mahi mahi, but the staff was very accommodating in getting him another piece of fish that was more to his liking. I should have left more room as the dessert menu is extensive. My dad had the chocolate brownie which he said was excellent.

    We had an amazing New Year's Eve dinner at Carmello's of Old Town Manassas. Our server, Danny, was exceptional, providing attentive and friendly service throughout the evening. To start, we enjoyed a glass of smooth and silky Moscato, along with two Old Fashioned cocktails, each unique but equally delightful. We kicked off the meal with Oysters Rockefeller, followed by a perfectly balanced Caesar salad that wasn't over-dressed. For our entrees, we had the Lombo de Vaca—an 8oz pan-seared, bacon-wrapped filet mignon with Gorgonzola, garlic butter roasted potatoes, and grilled asparagus. We also indulged in an off-menu surf and turf special of lobster tail and filet mignon. Both dishes were outstanding. To finish, the Limoncello Cake was sheer perfection: Sicilian lemon sponge cake with mascarpone mousse and European white chocolate curls. If you're looking for a first-class fine dining experience, we absolutely recommend Carmello's!
