3.5 stars
I was lured to Carmelina Restaurant not by all these 4 stars Yelp reviews, but the promise of Prix Fixe on their website... Prix Fixe is just an excuse for me to have extra food instead of just a main, since I just could not resist a bargain?
How come NO prix fixe menu? The waiter that's only for group! But it is on their website!! and 2 of us is a group..?? Ended up can only order from the a la carte....
Linguine Frutti Di Mare ($18)
- I have to say this is the best Seafood Linguine I had in that price range. The scallops are huge, size of a toonie and the shrimps are tiger shrimps too.
Veal Lemone ($20)
- Veal is tender and the white wine lemon sauce is zesty!
I know I will be back to Carmelina again... as I know someone wants to have that Seafood Linguine again for sure! -

Pension Babe is on a "not Asian food" quest in Markham. A challenge if you're looking for good and not fast food and not chain. Dial up Yelp. Do a category search of non Asian places in Markham. The list is pretty thin. Thinner if you live by the motto "don' t eat anywhere Wayne or Jennifer K have given less than 4 stars".
Carmelina came up. No Wayne or Jennifer K stamp of approval. But heck. We were driving past the place after a day of ice cream and walking along Toronto's Western more stanky beaches.
The place looks pretty scary on the outside. It looks like a night club. Inside it's done up in Italian restaurant elegance. I had the bacon fusilli pasta. PB had the fish special. We shared the fried calamari. The pasta was okay. PB had no complaints about her fish and the portion size. The calamari had really nice batter. I'd be back for that. The bread basket was this entirely inedible flat bread. Ugh.
Service was attentive and top notch. A great place to bring your parents. Not a bad romantic date place. -

I visited Carmelina this past weekend for the first time. My husband ordered the gnocchi and I ordered the fettuccine al salmone - both were delicious. We also really enjoyed the live music, piano and guitar playing. Even though it was a fluke that we found this restaurant, we will be coming back again.

Been coming to Carmelina for a few yrs now and we've always loved the atmostphere, service and food. Sometimes they will have an accordion player and you could request classic songs :)
Service has always been excellent. My bf was super tired and wanted to order a ice coffee (which they do not serve) but they made smth just for him. It was really nice of them. They are always courteous & polite.
I absolutely ADORE the Risotto Con Funghi here. It's prob. the best I've had so far. The fried calamari is also a great appetizer. Comes with a bit of salad & sauce. I duno what's in that calamari sauce but it's damn good! What I've noticed from the last few yrs is... the portion of the risotto has gotten slightly smaller. Not sure about the other dishes as I haven't ventured out of my box yet :) Will always be coming to this place. I don't know why but the place doesn't seem very busy. It's such a shame cuz this is prob. one of my favourite Italian restaurants!
Parking - shouldn't be a problem. But sometimes it does get quite busy w/ other adjacent restaurants. You can also park at Royal Bank (who works after hours?) It's super close. -

Yay, I'm a fan totally describes this place. Fresh, homemade Italian food that is to die for. Our table shared some appetizers to start and then I ate what is possibly the best Cesar salad I've ever had. I followed that with the gnocchi with cream sauce and was NOT disappointed. Had no room for dessert, but would certainly be a place I'd visit again!

I usually don't eat Italian food because I am still getting used to pasta but the food here won me over. I would go here again if I had the urge for some pasta. I had the Linguini Frutti Di Mare (the linguini was whole wheat) and could smell the fresh basil in my Linguini.

I've visited Carmelina's about 5 times and it's just one of those places that if you blink, you'll miss it. It's situated in a small parking lot located beside and overshadowed by "Taste of Japan". Most nights this place is dead but the food is fantastic! You and your spouse will enjoy an uninterrupted meal here that will allow you to experience some of the best seafood uptown. Though on the pricier side, I really love this place. To be correct, this is more Mediterranean than Italian but give it a chance and you'll be surprised!
