I’d introduce Carmalita's Catering Company as the kind of place in Rome, Georgia, where comfort food feels personal, generous, and genuinely homemade. Located at 2459 Shorter Ave NW, Rome, GA 30165, this spot brings a warm Southern cooking style that fits both everyday meals and special gatherings. What stands out to me first is the feeling of abundance: the portions sound hearty, the menu has enough variety to please different tastes, and the food carries that home-cooked quality people look for when they want something familiar but still memorable. The mac and cheese especially seems like one of those dishes that can steal the spotlight, rich and satisfying enough to make a simple meal feel like a real treat. I also like that Carmalita’s is not just known as a restaurant but as a catering company with a strong reputation for events, including weddings, where food needs to be more than just filling plates. Instead of the plain, predictable style that some catered meals can have, Carmalita’s seems to bring comfort, flavor, and care into the experience, giving guests the sense that they are being served a real Southern meal made with attention. The team also adds to that impression, coming across as helpful, kind, and willing to go beyond basic service, which matters a lot when people are planning meaningful events. Whether I’m thinking about stopping by for a plate of Southern cooking or choosing a caterer for a celebration, Carmalita’s feels like a place built around generous food, friendly service, and the kind of dishes that make people want to come back just to enjoy the feeling again.

After several friends suggesting Carmalita’s we finally got the opportunity to try it for ourselves. Glad we did for sure. Food was so good and plenty of it. Probably one of the best Mac and cheese I have ever eaten in a restaurant! Will definitely go back. If you want just some really good southern cooking you really should try Carmalita’s!!

We had them cater our wedding and it was AMAZING!!!!! The portion sizes and options were great, it felt like we had gotten everyone an amazing home cooked meal instead of sterile, bland, boring catering! Honestly, we may make the trip down to Rome to her restaurant just to relive our wedding day! Carmalita and her team were also super helpful and kind, they ended up helping so much that day and just went above beyond!

No menus with pricing available.. Food was good just seemed pricey to me. Pork chop platter with a drink and a dessert was $17.50 plus tip. If I could have seen a menu with prices I would have probably picked something else. Again food was good I think they just need to work on displaying their pricing and how to welcome customers in to the restaurant.
