Some 46 years ago, a key went in a door, the lights went
on and Carmela started her business. It was 1959 and
Carmela, together with her family came to America to
continue their family tradition of hospitality and serving
quality food. The family settled in Brooklyn and the business
they opened soon became a Bensonhurst landmark destination for anyone seeking great tasting, authentic Italian Cuisine.
 
Carmela Italian heritage and food background assured that
only the finest quality ingredients, prepared with the utmost
care from authentic family recipes, would be served to her
ever-growing base of loyal customers.
 
Today, that tradition and dedication to excellence is here in
the Carmela's Restaurant Pizzeria. 

Every day, menu items are prepared fresh. Hand made mozzarella cheese, pizzas are made with hand-stretched
dough. In our kitchen, pots of sauces simmer on the stove,
and fresh baked pasta in our ovens. Simple, fresh, affordable;
It's our way...it's Carmela's Way.
