Carmella's Cafe

We were in New Hartford visiting family and I am gluten free, as is my daughter so it is always difficult finding a place to eat. Well, we tried Carmellas and we're very happy with our choice. We did have a 30min wait but it was a Saturday night at dinner time, so to be expected. The food was absolutely delicious. Everyone that ordered had nothing but good things to say. The gluten free menu was extensive! Portions are generous! My daughter (2.5) got sauce noodles and I got the chicken broccoli alfredo and they were so good. My gluten eating family got ribs, alfredo, tuna melt, sirloin and grilled cheese and no one had a single complaint. Waitstaff are very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive even for a Saturday night. We will 100% be returning next time we're in the area visiting family! Also, they offer a military discount. Even for 7 of us the bill was only $160 and we had two steak entrees and two gluten free entrees! Only tiny negative thing I could mention was the music was a bit loud so we couldn't really hear one another well. We asked for it to be turned down and I'm unsure if they did or not.

I have certainly missed this place for over a year due to covid-19. Gluten-free pasta with alfredo sauce is the best! Our waitress tonight was Tara, she was amazing!
