Ever since I moved down from up north, I’ve been trying to find Ma and Pa small authentic Italian place like back home. (If you’re from the NY/CT area you would know) it’s hard to find good ol Italian food in Florida! When my husband and I moved from Jupiter to the Stuart area a few years ago, we discovered Carmella’s! The brick oven pizza is phenomenal, especially their white pizza! I am also VERY VERY picky being Italian and having homemade Italian cooked meals and comparing it to there’s I do have to say it’s of great taste! Their sauce they use is very tasty, their selection of wines are great, and most d all the service it’s great! We had Sara as a server and her personality, and service she gave us as a server was amazing! We always usually dine in, but the lazy nights we want to take out. We never had a problem with her take out and still got to enjoy the amazing food at home! I definitely recommend to try this place out with your family or even for a date night! Sitting at the bar is also a nice atmosphere to get a drink with your honey and some apps. You won’t be disappointed, try Carmella’s out /)

We came in while visiting the area. Great food! Pizza crust was perfect. We asked for light sauce on the pizza and it was exactly right. Zucchini spears were larger than expected but texture was just right. Eggplant parmesan and caprese heros we’re delicious.

After checking online order options here I decided to call. After about three busy lines I got thru and placed the order. I asked which clam sauce the order taker recommended and she said a lot of people get the white so I did. This is a small place but there seemed to be a lot of workers behind the counter working efficiently. It was kind of hot in there and I wouldn’t want to have eaten my dinner there as the pickup line commotion was significant. After a reasonable wait got my order and went home only to find I got “marinara” crushed tomatoes with mussels not white clam sauce. Called and I think the manager owner answered and said to give 15 minutes to get what I wanted done and to bring back the mussels. I did and found the take out line way bigger. Found the manager and she took my dinner, verified that I wanted the white clam sauce and went to the back. Don’t think the order started till I got there. After about 15 min got the order and she said they of course wouldn’t charge for the difference. What she didn’t understand nor could I prove since they did not give me a itemized receipt is that I paid for the more expensive meal in the first place. The clam sauce was basically a soup with linguine what was well cooked but I had to fish out the clams from the 1.5 cups of broth. The lasagna was huge and ok. If you like garlic this is the place to come, in my photo of the clam shells the lower left is not clams but lots of garlic. The food was pretty pricey too.

Ordered take out. Of course some of the order was wrong. Spaghetti or marinara sauce is completely bland and watery (look at some pics people posted) meatballs just taste like mushy hamburger. Chicken parm was bitter like the fry oil was old. Also the breading comes right off so it’s basically plain chicken breast. Garlic knots we about 3 days old, like Publix sub rolls after several days at home. Raviolis look worse than the ones I can just buy in Publix and again covered with the watery bland sauce (we ordered fried ravioli’s but guess they decided I should have boiled) Can’t believe this place is above 4 stars. Terrible and bland and would never go back. One of the worst Italian food places I’ve eaten in Florida. At least top 5 worst place. I gotta believe that some of these rave reviews are bots or friends. If you don’t believe me, please try it and comment.
