Carmine's has two locations, one in Times Square and the other on the Upper West Side. I have been to both and have to admit that my experience was better at the Upper West Side location than the Times Square one (although that could be because I visited the Times Square location after a play so it was sort of late...and it was St. Patties Day!) The food here is great. I am Italian and I am very critical about Italian food so I have to admit that this place has my stamp of approval. They portions are served "family-style" so don't do it alone. I suggest that each entree can feed about 3 average eaters (the pasta dishes can feed more I would say). The prices are reasonable since you are feeding a few people per Entree but make sure you bring your reading glasses since there are no paper menus at Carmine's. There are large blackboards on the walls that have the menu and pricelist on them. It's cute and irritating at the same time for someone who can't see very far! The places are kinda large however, they do not accept reservations for parties under 6 for dinner (between 7:00 to closing) so make sure that you allow enough time during the crowded times and holidays.
I think that everything is pretty good on the menu but here are some of my favorites:
Lemon Chicken - I have actually had a fight with someone over the last piece of the chicken and subsequently didn't speak to her for a year! It's that good!!!
Caesar Salad - Its one of the best that I have had. My only complaint is that there is never enough dressing for my taste.
Chicken Parm - Yummy, Yummy...No need to say anything else (that goes for the Veal Parmesan too!).
Penne al a vodka - I could eat pasta every day for the rest of my life and I would be a happy (abet, fat) little camper. Theirs is one of the best that I have had.

 Enjoying a Cocktail in
Carmines by KarenTaylor
Lovely cocktails, service was great, and the food brilliant.
As I've only been once, I don't have a favourite, but we had Calimari to start and then a pasta dish which was lovely. The portions are HUGE which is why it's advisable to go in a group of 6 or more.

There are two locations for this restaurant. And the Theatre district one has much better food overall than the one on 91st and Broadway. This place is SO busy you need to really plan ahead and not have a large group.
It is a family style restaurant where dishes are delivered for the table and everyone gets some off the main plates. As the orders are truly huge.
I was most recently back to the location on Broadway at 91st street and was for the most part disappointed. The company was fantastic and we had quite the good time but the food itself was hit or miss for me.
Highlights of the food here to me are the desserts. The Titanic and the Strawberry Shortcake were good.
I really enjoy the calamari here and the penne ala vodka is good as well.
At least at the 91st street one I'd avoid anything off the grill. Leave a Comment Theme: ItalianPrice: US$31-40 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageAddress: 200 West 44stPhone: 212 221 3800

This is a very popular but fun place with good Italian food in a somewhat homey atmosphere. It is in the heart of NYC not far from Times Square.

Wait can be long at certain branches, such as the one on 44th Street. Personally, I frequent the one on the upper west side more because it's more convenient and much shorter lines.
Chicken Cacciatore is delicious- white wine and chicken stock, with tomatoes and basil. The veal parm is also great. Leave a Comment

This is a great place to eat in the theater district--be sure to make reservations way in advance because you will not want to miss this place! Large portions of great food, and if you still have room, have the NY cheesecake or the bread pudding. Do not order your own entree!!!! It will be enough for at least two-three people.

The food was good, but the wait was absolutely horrible!!!! We had reservations for days in advance, and we still ended up waiting for about two hours. BUT we did have a very large party. The dishes are HUGE, you have to share with everyone!!!!!!! The atmosphere of this place was very bustling and alive. Leave a Comment
