4.75/5
In the neighborhood, kids wanted pizza / pasta. Ordered calamari friti, eggplant rollatini, and the grandpa pie where any other pizzeria would call it a grandma pie.
Grandpa Pie - 10/10. Any other pizzeria, this is a grandma pie. Their grandma has onions and breadcrumbs, which is a grandpa by other pizzerias. Straight to the point, this pizza is amazing. Great flavor. Seasoned perfectly, right amount of sauce, mozzarella, great crust. We devoured this pie. This is a must order. We would come back for the pizza alone.
Calamari friti 7/10 - the large pieces are fried and battered perfectly. Soft and tender. 10/10. The smaller pieces, they shouldn’t serve it, it was tough and hard 3/10. Gave the kids the good large pieces while the adults ate the thin very tough leftovers and the tentacles. A lots of tentacles, never seen so many in a calamari dish. The tentacles were decent, 7/10. No choice, we were too hungry and nothing else served yet, we finished it. If wasn’t too hungry, wouldn’t eat the thin ones at all, that bad.
Eggplant rollatini 6/10. Wouldn’t order this again. The ricotta filling is bland, no flavor. Everything else is great 9.5/10 but the ricotta ruined the dish.
2nd visit:
Ordered the same Grandpa pie. Consistently great 10/10.
Buffalo wings with sauce on side. 10/10. Nice big portions of chicken, not tiny. Haven’t had great Buffalo wings like this on LI. The Buffalo sauce was made perfectly, mild spicy with hint of sweetness. It doesn’t have a...

Read moreFrom the moment my girlfriend and I walked into Carmela’s, we were treated like family. The entire staff went out of their way to make us feel genuinely welcome, and their friendliness really made the experience unforgettable.
I mentioned I wasn’t from the area, and to my surprise, they offered me a free slice of pizza just to try it out. That small gesture alone spoke volumes about their hospitality—and the pizza was absolutely delicious!
For dinner, I had the chicken parm with an apple salad, and I can honestly say it was one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. The flavors were spot-on, and you could tell everything was made with care.
