Reviews for Da Marino NYC in New York, NY
If you are looking for a good Italian place, this is the one!! My friends and I ended up going here on a bit of a whim and we... were very pleased with every aspect of our dining experience. Service was absolutely excellent and everyone was very friendly.Despite us going at peak rush time, our food was out quickly and the quality was amazing. I ordered the carbonara and it wassome of the best I've had. The tomato bruschetta and tiramisu are also musts. Cannot recommend this place enough! Read more
We hoped for a comfortable and reasonably well priced dinner following a Broadway show. We were pleasantly surprised at the... fresh, delicious Italian food and had an amazing evening here. If Tom (manager), John (waiter), Dennis (piano/singing), and Josh(bartender) are all there, you are in for a truly amazing night in NYC. We can't wait to come back! Read more
We felt like we were being punked. We went admittedly late on a Friday night and the piano player was playing 90’s grunge at... the top of his lungs. With karaoke levels of quality. He finished his playing for the night with a rendition of “A Day in theLife” by The Beatles - extended, discordant transitions and everything. The volume made conversations impossible. The foodwas totally mediocre and overpriced. A very strange experience. Worth visiting for the absurd women’s bathroom alone. Read more
This restaurant had a good menu and was selected because the location was minutes away from the show that we were seeing. Made... a reservation for 6:00pm, arrived at 5:55pm, but was not seated until after 6:30pm. The place is intimate (small), with littleto no room for waiting. The host had a lot of energy and seemed to love his job. The waiters seemed overwhelmed (perhaps theywere either understaffed, had the pressure of getting people served quickly so that they could get to the theatre or both). Assoon as we were seated, I asked if we would have enough time to eat and get to the theatre on time. He asked what time we wantedto leave by, I told him 7:30pm, and he said "ok." We immediately ordered, and I was about to cancel our order when the foodhadn't come out at 7:10pm. But somehow, he was able to get us out by 7:30pm. Complimentary bread was brought to the table. Ihad capellini (angel hair) all' ortolana and added capers. It was a nice dish. Someone else in my party had the lamb chops andenjoyed them. If you are planning to see a show (especially on the weekend), don't roll the dice, make a reservation around5:00pm or 5:30pm. I will consider dining at Da Marino again when I won't have any time restraints. Read more
Absolutely perfect. The atmosphere, the music, the food! 10/10 all around. The carbonara was outstanding and my husband loved... the meatballs. The wine pairing they recommended was fantastic as well. We will be back! Read more
We visited Da Marino during the 2021 holiday season and it was fantastic from start to finish. We had a recommendation from a... friend and ended up booking a reservation the same night. We were politely greeted by Tom, the manager, and he checked ourvaccine cards and showed us to our table quickly even with our late reservations. John, our waiter, and the other waitstaff werealso extremely friendly, quick to respond, and knowledgeable about the menu. My fiancée and I ended up ordering some wine andBruschetta al Pomodoro (Tomato Bruschetta) to start. They provided complimentary bread which was still warm and was fantasticwith the provided side dish. My fiancée ended up ordering the carbonara which she thought was delicious and had plenty ofpancetta, was creamy, but not too heavy at all. I had the Lobster ravioli with shrimp which was also very good. For dessert, wehad the homemade Tiramisu and it was so good we ended up finishing it all. The ambiance was amazing, a live pianist arrived at6PM and was playing Christmas music. Even Tom got on the microphone and received applause for his amazing performance of “MyWay” by Frank Sinatra. We can’t wait to be back again in April! Read more
11/10 would recommend eating at Da Marino!! The whole atmosphere of the restaurant was so fun and the food was absolutely... delicious. We had such a great time and can't wait to come back. Shout out to our amazing waiter, John, and the super talentedpiano player, Marshall! Read more
Absolutely the best Italian restaurant in the city! Tom is the GM and he’s a great guy….make sure all customers are taken... care of. Brittany (from my home state of Louisiana) was our waitress and does a fabulous job of explaining the menu andsuggesting dishes and is personable and fun. The food…..WOW! A must to visit…make reservations and be patient when you getthere. It’s worth it! Thanks Tom for setting us up at the Kings table. You rock!! Read more
