The food is delicious (huge portions!), the service is friendly and fast, and the ambiance is just perfect! I’m love with this restaurant and I plan to visit it every time I come to NYC. Amazing!!
We love this place. It's not an upscale olive garden as one idiot said. Yes it loud and the food is great but that is what is great about this place. Family hangout like how we were used too.
Such a NY classic and so reliably good. Service is warm and welcoming. Love the Carmine's salad; tastes so crisp, fresh & tangy. Pastas are also delicious & not too heavy. Penne alla Vodka was superb
We went at New Year’s Eve and there was a lot of people. The food was really good and the attention excellent. The only problem was that they hurried us, they wanted the table. In 45 minutes we ate.
Food is outstanding. The only problem-your entire party must be present to be seated, even with a reservation. Best Italian food, great wait staff. Always enough for a doggie bag!
GO WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE! Huge plates. If you're going as a couple a small plate of meatballs and a salad is more than enough! Don't even try ordering two dinner plates!
So so good! Came for graduation dinner (great for big groups). HUGE portions. Order calamari, mussels, chicken marsala, shrimp scampi, and tiramisu. Best meal you'll have!
AMAZING ITALIAN FOOD!!! Wow.. i highly recommend! Great for grp dinners since everything is family size plates:) the lasagna and penne a la vodka were to die for:)
SERIOUS Italian food...make sure you go with at least 3 people since it is a family style restaurant and the portions are HUGE! You'll definitely get your money's worth here and will leave very full!
Food is not consistently good. The same dish could be fabulous on one visit, and a salt lick on the next visit. Same is true for the drinks. Don't go on a Saturday night, unless you're into very noisy
Nearly impossible to get a table by walk in during the weekend. Make a reservation and be sure to be there as a larger group as possible. Portion is humongous.
