Came here for a late lunch/early dinner on a rainy Sunday, and there was only one other table of people. It's a pretty small space, but there's nice seating along a counter so you can people watch while you're eating. You order at the front, and then they bring it to you when your order is ready. We shared a spaghetti dish as well as as a side of marinated artichokes. The spaghetti was absolutely delicious, and the sauce was so good. I wish that I had extra pasta to finish up the sauce with. The artichokes were not bad, but we did both get stomach aches after, so we are pretty sure it might have been the artichoke... I can definitely see myself coming here when I'm craving Italian food if I'm in the area!

Love this spot the vodka sauce and rigatoni is to die for, the guys who work here are always really friendly and used to be super nice to my dog Arthur when we'd stop by for pick up. The broccolini was also yummy. Same thing with the sandwiches. The meatballs. Really you can't go wrong here. Definitely delicious.

Yummy things only at Carmentas. I've been twice for the same Italian special here, it's THAT good. Great bread, great meat, veggies, and perfectly sauced. Unless you have a massive appetite this is a good size to split with another person. I'm so interested in trying the pastas here soon as well.

Unbelievably good rustic Italian. This small, unassuming shop has a few tables & no waitstaff. No bells, no whistles... Carmentas instead focuses on fresh pasta (cooked perfectly) fresh sauce & simple yet bold flavors. I went with "Italian Meat & Potatoes" Mafalde with Braised Beef & a rice ball Just a fantastic culinary experience, do yourself the favor, but don't show up in a rush. Really good food takes a few minutes to make.

Wonderful neighborhood spot with casual Italian! For under $20, the generous portion of rigatoni was an 8/10, with a flavorful but well-balanced vodka sauce. Could've been a tad bit more spiced, but hard to complain. Pasta tasted fresh and perfectly cooked. You can tell all the food is cooked fresh-to-order because it's a small open-kitchen in the back, and the dish came out piping hot. It's open seating for a pretty small space, so it got a little crowded on a rainy Saturday night. I imagine it'd be even busier if the weather was better. A definite must-visit if you're in the area, otherwise, it's worth making the trip out at least once if you live farther out.

Arrived on a Saturday just as it hit 5pm. It was not busy but it was starting to pick up. By the time my food was ready, I was able to score one of the few tables they had. I ordered the pasta with the red sauce, and the pasta pesto. The pasta with the red sauce was perfect- the sauce tasted very fresh. The pasta pesto was just okay. I'm not sure what they use in it, but I don't think there's any basil. The flavor is different than I expected, but topping it with breadcrumbs was a nice touch. I was also hoping to try their vodka sauce, but as it turns out it's not freshly made there? or for some reason they were unable to make it without meat. I suppose this is my one major disappointment. Otherwise, good experience overall and I'd probably return for the red sauce if in the area again.

Order: - Chicken parm sandwich (5/5) - Meatball parm sandwich (4/5) Pros: - Great tasting large sandwiches - You can upgrade your sandwich to garlic bread for an additional $2 - Menu includes pastas and desserts Cons: - Small restaurant with limited seating Overall: A great local spot to grab a hero or some homemade pasta

I came here with a friend on a Sunday night for dinner. We got there around 7pm, and all the tables were full. The inside is like a deli, so there isn't a ton of seating. We decided to get our pasta to-go. By the time our food was ready, some tables had freed up, so we took a seat with our take-out containers. I had the mafalde with beef bolognese. The pasta was incredible; it was homemade, texturally very exciting, and al dente. My friend had the radiatore with kale pesto, which was also very good.
