Yelp Reservations:

Carmelina’s is traditional Sicilian comfort food with a Mediterranean twist from Executive Chef Damien DiPaola and Chef di Cucina Michael Hollenkamp. 

Carmelina’s opened in 2012 and is located on Hanover Street in the heart of Boston's famous Little Italy (a.k.a The North End). Since then, Chef DiPaola has transformed old family recipes from his family’s best dishes, into modern Italian cuisine with equal parts fresh pasta and seafood.

Carmelina’s interior is designed as an open kitchen, reflecting a mother-approved cooking space. Family photos decorate the walls, adding a touch of home. The small space offers an intimate dining experience and diners can watch their dishes come together from beginning to end. During the summer months retractable front walls allow for open-air dining. 

Carmelina’s is proud to be recognized in Yelp’s 7th Annual Top 100 Places to Eat list, honoring the top rated and most popular eateries across the US.

A special thanks goes out to our dedicated team that made our twist on traditional Italian a reality.

And of course, we would love to share the hard work and passion we’ve put in to achieving this honor with you. Be sure to visit us soon!

*****3% kitchen Appreciation fee*****

As you all know by now, the cost of everything is skyrocketing. All the products that we use at Carmelinas have increased in cost dramatically. As an alternative to raising prices, we are suggesting a 3% kitchen appreciation fee that goes directly to our kitchen staff.

This fee supports our kitchen staff’s hard work.

This appreciation fee does not represent a tip, gratuity, or service charge for our front of house staff.

The fee will be applied to each in-house dining bill to allow our kitchen staff to share in the restaurant’s success.

We implemented the fee to keep up with the increased cost of living.

Most importantly, this fee goes straight to the kitchen staff. As opposed to a general price increase that would not benefit them as directly.

The fee is voluntary. If you wish to not pay it, please let your server know and we will be happy to remove it for you.

Thank you for your continued patronage and support.
