About Carmelo's in downtown Austin
Carmelo’s Ristorante is Austin’s answer to an authentic Sicilian kitchen spiced with continental chic. All the ingredients are here the pungent smells of garlic, the irresistible sounds of an accordion, a collection of limestone buildings that open out to a charming piazza recreating the village of Taormina where Carmelo was born and, of course, a sundry of the best Italian pastas, wines and desserts.

Open for lunch weekdays from 11-2:30, Carmelo’s is open for dinner Sunday through Thursday from 5-10:30 and Friday and Saturday until 11.
