Reviews for Carmela's Lakeway Pizza & Pasteria in Lakeway, TX

I loved this place! Waitstaff was super helpful and kind. We got our food pretty quickly and the pizza and fettuccine alfredo... were both really good. I?d highly recommend this place to anyone and I will definitely be coming back. Read more

They were very short-staffed, so we were patient knowing that, but service really wasn't that slow. They waitresses were... working their tails off and did a great job. Ours was very sweet. We ordered pizza and it was delicious. Probably makes mynumber 2 spot, the other place being in Houston. We were happy they had NA beer. Most places don't. We didn't get to try thebread, though.

Ambiance is good. Bread was good. They seem to use the same dough for their pizza and bread. The pizza dough was not up to... scratch but the toppings were good. We also had the trio of chicken parmigiana, cheese ravioli and lasagna. To start with thesauce was terrible because it tasted like water and strong concentrated tomato paste. The chicken was good but not much cheeseat all on a bed of dry spaghetti? The cheese ravioli was ok but boring. The lasagna was a joke because it tasted like pepperoni?No rich meat sauce or anything remotely like what I would expect. I?m sorry to say any of this but it?s the truth because welooked at the 30 promising reviews before showing up? Read more

Appetizers was tasty, fried ravioli and bruschetta. We had everything from spaghetti and meatballs to lasagne to pizza to... alfredo...every dish was well prepared and scrumptious. Our waiter was courteous and helpful with making menu selections andgave us delightful service. Read more

Got some pizza Togo and it was absolutely amazing. Super cheesey and plentiful toppings. Even reheating in the oven it was... crispy and fresh. Would definitely recommend. Can't wait to come back and try more dishes. Read more

This place had an extremely long wait, even with the knowledge of short staff it was atill excessive. We were very patient,... reservatins for 7pm, we were 15 mins early, they sat us quickly but that's all. We waited over 35 mins for drinks to be orderedand then 20.mins to get them, and the same for dinner with almost a 35 mins wait for food. It was almost 940pm when we left,however the food was great and the atmosphere was fantastic, and if they would have had a full staff I'm sure the service wouldhave been excellent All the staff was very very apologetic and they were all moving as fast as they could... this is why Istill gave them 5 stars!!

Great atmosphere, lovely decor! I always enjoy the salmon and it?s a bonus that they serve my favorite champagne. I?ve been... many times, the service is consistently good, plus got to hear great live music! This has become my favorite local restaurant Read more

All the food was delicious. Owner is very nice. Music was a bit loud - but you can still talk easily if you sit near the front... of the restaurant. A great local find. Read more
