As always AMAZING! The star of the show was Gabi the hostess. We had 4 kids with us and instead of trying to push us out she... came to check up on us. She was sweet, professional and had her hands on every task. Being in the food, drink and hospitalityindustry for 25 yrs I can tell you she is stellar and most definitely a keeper. Food was awesome. Will always be back Read more

Always good food and the family style is always enough food. Start with a pitcher of red sangria! It is really good. Drink... plenty of water after. The food is seasoned well with salt and I loved every bite!! Read more

Best Family restaurant I have been! The food has huge servings like really huge plus all that I order here is good! Location:... It is located in UWS. But they have multiple branches in the city. The interior has this family style Italian vibe, there isoutdoor seating as well. Service: they are all super nice, they treat you as family here. Food: Everything was good. CHICKENSCARPARIELLO (wings): this is my favorite, the sauce on that juicy chicken is so delicious. You have to ask for wings tho! Ittaste better than thighs. CALAMARI: another favorite! Huge sizes of calamari fried into perfection! FRIED ZUCCHINI: omg it is solight and you can eat everything without getting full. CHICKEN ALLA ROMANA: the chicken was tender and juicy, the potatoes areperfectly cooked as well. GARLIC BREAD: you have to pay for this, its not free. But the bread is toasted good, you can chosewith melted cheese or regular. PENNE ALA VODKA: the pasta was perfectly cooked, the sauce you can noticed its freshly made.GARLIC and OIL with CLAMS: this is one of my favorites too, cause its just simple with a lot of clams. TIRAMISU: best tiramisu,not that sweet and its huge. Price rating: 8/10, it is not that bad for the amount of goodness you can have. Its very hugeservings! Will definitely come back because everything was good! Been here multiple times and their food is always great. Read more

My party of 7 had a great time here. We originally made the reservation for 6 but had a last minute guest and they were able to... cater to us with a few days notice. The food was great, huge family sized portions. The waitress was attentive to all of ourneeds and made great recommendations. We had the wings, mussels, calamari and Caesar salad for appetizers and the lobster andchicken special for our mains and had SO much left over. Leaving the restaurant with to go boxes looked like we were catering aparty. So happy we decided to celebrate here. Read more

This is is the real Carmine’s…wife and I enjoyed our dinner. Food was excellent as usual and Kevin our waiter was beyond... personable and phenomenal. His dedication to our request and service was beyond outstanding. He is truly a full representationto a first class dining experience. Only thing Carmine’s needs to improve on is offering half portions for couples as this isa family style portion servings, but hey we get a few left over lunch and dinners ! Read more

This place has been a family favorite for some time now. Food is ALWAYS Fresh, MADE-TO-ORDER & full of authentic Italian... flavors and old world traditions. Went with a family member. A complimentary assortment of fresh baked breads (seen in pic) witholive oil and butter on the side... Crisp refreshing Pellegrino (our waiter was a gem! Got my usually requested citrus wedges(pic) to compliment my drink) The appetizer, Stuffed Mushroom Caps (pics) is simply heaven! You can see all the herbs, redpeppers etc in the picture. Chicken Parmigiana (pics) consist of 2 extra large pieces of premium white meat chicken cutlets,topped a rich and authentic savory marinara sauce and quality cheese(s). Lastly, but definitely NOT the least ..is one of myfamily members favorites.. Penne Alla Vodka full of saucy goodness, herbs, onion, garlic and topped with gratedcheese. Granted, THIS restaurant is NOT a place where you will find dollar menus, 2/$20 deals where you share an appetizer....BUT you get what you pay for! Food is fresh, made when your waiter/waitress places your order, arrives to you hot & deliciouswith ALL the flavors in tact.. You get HEFTY, PLENTIFUL AND FAMILY SIZED PORTIONS ON HUGE PLATTERS (See for yourself in thepics) MORE than enough that unless there's 3-4 ppl dining, you will DEFINITELY have food leftover to bag up for home. Definitelya great value for quantity and quality!!! A great family environment Read more

That's an awesome place to go with a large group. Dishes here are enormous, everything we ordered was tasty and they pack it... for you because there is absolutely no way to finish those huge dishes. Staff were also very nice, friendly and helpful. Read more
