"Never a bad meal and the streak continues. Waitress friendly and helpful. Food quality as usual, excellent. Bit louder than normal this time. I think I was the only person who was not celebrating a birthday that evening."

"The food was excellent and the service very friendly. The waitress was very helpful answering questions and very accommodating. We intend to purchase Camine's Cook Book because the food was so delicious and consistent. Will definitely go again when in town."

"We had a party of 8 for an after college graduation late lunch/early dinner. The food was outstanding! We thoroughly enjoyed our experience. We were told each family style entree served about 5 people but we found it closer to 4. I would go back there again!"

"Everything from the gravy to the pasta special (carbonara) to the appetizers was just OK-nothing amazing or particularly delicious.We were seated immediately and food arrived promptly. SO noisy-could not easily hear dinner companions."

"Everything you order is so good! The portions are served family style and are humongous! Someday I would like to try one of everything. Usually the staff is wonderful but thus visit our waiter kept forgetting things and we were the first table of the day. Still, I will always visit Carmine's when in New York!"

"the food was good..i do recommend that u go with groups because the portions are huge..If you do decide to just go with just one person you can save money by just ordering one dish..the bread tasted cold but other than that it is a pretty good place to be.."

"Food was fantastic as always!! Busboy was great! Waitress was rude and discouraged me and my friend from ordering food that we knew we wanted. I have been to Carmine's before and I am familiar with the portion sizes."

"This was not my first trip to Carmines and it will not be my last - good food, service and great for large groups. I took my daughter and a group of her friends to a play and then diner for her sweet sixteen - the staff took great care of us and made my daughters day quite special."

"This was a good food restaurant. The noise level was too high and the dinning area was mostly one big open space. Family style (1 dish feeds two or more) and good place at a very touristy area."

"First time at "Carmine" with the family. The food was VERY GOOD !!! The only thing was we had to ask the waiter to slow down a little. She spoke very fast, it was upsetting because we ask her twice to slow down."

"We were a party of 10 and we went prior to a matinee. We were surprised by the quality of the food. It was very good, as was the service. It is just a very frenetic atmosphere and very loud."

"We had a group of 7 for pre-theater lunch and they easily accommodated us. It's all family style - with HUGE portions- which is hard at lunch when you may want just a small bite. But it was all very tasty and the pasta ( ravioli) was ah-mazing!!!"

"Family style portions are large and one order can feed more than 2 moderate eaters. Food was very good and fresh. Service was also very good. A bit noisy due to the crowded conditions but this can be expected. Overall very satisfied."

"We'd been to Carmines several times before. The Server's always mention the size of the portions. However, the Server that we had suggested that instead of a separate pasta dish, we add pasta to our chicken dish. It was not only economically clever, the sauce from the chicken made a fabulous sauce for the pasta. We love Carmines and always go there when we're in the area."

"Carmines' is close to where I work. I had dinner there with my friends one night and found out that it opened for lunch. The price was very reasonable for lunch, the portion is still big enough to share. I had great time."

"There were ten of us and we all ate well. Only issue is with prices on house wine. Was surprised house Chianti was 36. But I know better and will adjust accordingly. Will return on an occasion."

"This was the first time I was ever disappointed in the service at carmines. The waiter was not very attentive. Just one example of many. I ordered coffee after lunch along with a dessert. The waiter never returned to ask if I would like a refill on my coffee."

"Always a great place to bring "out of towners" to, with great service, energetic atmosphere and very solid and tasty food. Perfect for big groups as you can try different plates. Between 6 adults and 1 child, we had the cold antiapasto and only 2 plates of pasta...still had leftovers!"

"My family and I had dinner at Carmine's (44th Street) on Saturday night and it was great, as usual. Favorites are Rigatoni Country Style, Chicken Contadina and Caesar Salad. The Saturday night special - Prime Rib Chop was excellent; expensive but worth it! Service was great except for the fact that our wait staff didn't pack up our delicious cheesecake and bread pudding leftovers! Bummer!"

"For a place usually well recommended I surely expected a lot more. Specially the meatballs: cheap meat unseasoned. Salad and artichoke were good but not enough to think much of the place."

"We entertained European customers. They loved the family style, the friendly and efficient wait staff and were visibly impressed with the massive amounts of great food. They couldn't stop taking pictures of the food! We made reservations online and these were honored immediately we all showed up. And we were out in plenty of time for our play. Couldn't have had more fun."

"We were seated promptly. A request was made for a special table due to it being our anniversary. We were placed in a high traffic area between the stairs and the kitchen. The food was good, not great. The portions were way too large for two. All we ordered was a salad and an entree. They brought out enough for four people. The waiter, Ryan, was excellent though and told us prior to our order that there was going to be a tremendous amount of food. I think that they lost focus on the quality and went all out for the quantity. Not bad...just not as good as I expected."

"Decent food; great service. If you're going to theater, and you have friends/guests in from out of town, then Carmine's is a good swirly spot to take them. Go hungry and without a high bar for haute cuisine. This is no 5-star dining experience for sure, but it's good pre-dinner fun."

"For groups of 4 or more adults Carmine's offers delicious popular Italian dishes. The Carmine's salad is a tasty signature dish to begin the meal. Our group shared chicken Marsala and penne bolognese. Everyone loved both dishes.The portions are more than enough for second helpings. Unfortunately,We were too full to have dessert. Looking forward to visiting again soon. Our server was vivacious, friendly, and very professional. We weren't rushed and had plenty of time to enjoy walking around the theater district before our show."

"Return trip to NYC, so back to Carmine's. Love everything about the place..usually. Service wasn't up to par this time (sorry guys, it's true). Felt she paid a lot more attention to the larger parties in her section. Not much time for a couple of ladies I guess. I would return though..everything is pretty much spot on. Make reservations online in advance. Nice and easy."
