We’ve been a New Hartford favorite since 1985, serving our community food that’s fast, fresh, and never compromises quality. From Italian classics to American staples to Utica specialties, we’ve got something for everyone. Stop by for a night out, a cozy family lunch, or a scrumptious Sunday breakfast — no matter the occasion, we’ll serve you your favorites with a smile. Established in 1985. The original Carmella’s Cafe, located in New Hartford, New York, opened in 1985. Our goal has always been to provide our guests with the warmth, charm and quality of a local “Mom & Pop” restaurant with the consistency and controls of a well-managed chain. Homemade soups, sauces, pasta, bread served by warm friendly, caring servers was the essence of our business. Our people had to demonstrate an “I care about you” attitude in order to work at Carmella’s. We never intended it to be a fancy place… just a place where people of all ages could find good food value and fun in a casual, friendly environment!
