    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!

    Massive Italian portions, lots of garlic. Best for groups, acceptable for the merely starving. ALSO, IT'S REALLY LOUD SO BE PREPARED TO SHOUT A LOT!

    Family style dishes. Porterhouse is on the money, lasagna is delicious and the baked clams are delicious.

    It's best to make a reservation... the wait is at least an hour on the weekends (including Friday afternoon) but everything is worth the wait!!

    The portions they give you are huge. No joke, two people can eat and be full from one dish.

    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!

    The food portions are family style. Starting the size of your head up to maybe as big as your torso. Redonk....

    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

    Portion serving sizes are HUGE! Can definitely share a single plate. Food is delicious! Do not order the coffee, it's Overly burnt and bitter.

    Long wait time but the portions are HUGE (each dish could probably fill up 3-4 hungry people). Waiters are really friendly and helpful.

    Decent family style restaurant. Drinks tend to be short , and over priced. Veal Parmigiana is very salty. Linguine in white clam sauce is fabulous.

    A much better experience than the Times Square location. Avoid the midtown tourists and enjoy tastier dishes

    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.

    Great ambiance. Food was good but not the best Italian in the neighborhood. You have to respect a place that doesn't serve fettuccine Alfredo though.
