Nice small spot, pizza looked really good, unfortunately didn’t try. We did get the cheesesteak! Overall was very impressed. Bread was really good, melted cooper share cheese mixed in with the meat was delicious. Only thing I wish they would do is season the meat little more. Overall solid!!

Was a little nervous this place wasn’t going to live up to the hype. It exceeded it. I lived in Philly for 11 years now and this cheesesteak is a top contender. I would put it up against any top spot in the entire city. It’s hard to say which is the best but this is certainly a contender. The Nonni pizza was incredible. It comes out looking very heavy but it’s so light and fluffy with an incredible crunch to it. Also the older gentleman who brings out the pizza is worth the price of admission alone. He is a gem. Our server Fabritzio was fantastic. You can tell this is a family owned establishment. I would suggest getting there around 4:45 and putting your name in because you will have to wait but it is worth it. 10/10 recommended

Delicious. Easily Top 3 Cheesesteaks you’ll ever have. I recommend the Cooper sharp with fried onions and long hots. The sandwich itself is a monster and can be shared between 2-3 people.

First timer today. Meaty. Huge cheese steak. Delicious bread. If you normally ask for extra cheese, don’t the normal order has plenty. I feel satisfied & can’t wait to go back. Cheese steak hunters PLEASE TRY CAFE CARMELA

Got a takeout order of the maggs pizza and mozzarella squares tonight. I placed my order online and went to pick up and it was in my hands 2 min after I got there 🙂 The flavor was good! The pizza was a bit more floppy than I would have liked but still tasty. Large pizza I have left overs good for parties!

This food was amazing, I have no complaints. I got don cheechs steak, this cheesesteak might be the best in Philly. I like that the cheese type was recommended here instead them asking what cheese you want, they know what’s best. I now have to go everywhere else I’ve tried to see if I can get this combination of cheese and compare.

My daughter and I were at Cafe Carmela for lunch this Saturday. We have both been there a number of times. The staff are always friendly Unfortunately, the pizza stoves were down, but with their delicious menu there are so many other homemade mouth watering dishes to eat, it didn’t matter to me. We started off sharing the Caesar Salad, which is served on such a large plate, 3 of us could have shared it. I got the Drunkin’ Rigatoni that came in a light & creamy vodka sauce, my daughter got the Chicken Cutlet Parm Sandwich. Not only are your orders brought to you quickly but they are served pipping hot just made.
