A delightful culinary experience from start to finish. This was our first time but not our last. Starter - cauliflower Pasta - penne bolognese Main - pork ribs Dessert - tartufo Server, Tom was wonderful.

We came in late after seeing a show and kitchen was closing in 10 minutes, the server was so helpful and got us our drinks and gave us fantastic service even though restaurant was closing. We had a great meal!

Carmines is a wonderful experience. It's vibrant and noisy, like a family style Italian restaurant should be! The food is lovely and the portions are huge. Honestly, don't over order, although you can take left overs to fo. Our server, Diandra , was really efficient and friendly and although she was incredibly busy, she was so helpful and kind. Would definitely visit again when in NYC.

Excellent from arrival to departure. Outstanding service, attention to detail, and then of course, the food! We were a party of three. One chose the Sinfonia di Paste and loved all three pastas that were offered. One had the lasagna special that was excellent, but huge! I had the Galleto al forno - roasted chicken. I am a chicken snob and I loved this one. It was a simple, but delicious half chicken with perfectly crispy skin and tender, juicy meat throughout. The mushroom risotto was also excellent. All of our meals were started with a delicious Caesar salad. My biggest complaint about Caesars is the overabundance of dressing, but this one had the perfect amount. It was full of garlic with lovely small bites of romaine. The service was attentive, but unobtrusive. We ate at Becco before going to the theater, arriving at 5:00 before a 7:00 show. The timing was perfect.

While the menu isn’t very broad, everything we ordered was delicious. Prices for a NYC restaurant were very reasonable. Several recipes passed down multiple generations originally from Sicily.
