Best Italian Restaurants in Carnegie Hill

Wonderful restaurant for an authentic Italian experience! The pasta was perfect! We tried the order of a trio of 3 pastas and were not disappointed. Other offerings ordered by a member of our group were also deemed delicious. The wine selection was also great. Service was excellent!

We decided to go to here for Christmas dinner. As an Italian I am super picky about Italian food. I went off of the reviews and I am happy to say this place exceeded my expectations!!!!! The Calamari was amazing, drinks were great and the service was just as amazing as the food. I would highly suggest going here.

Amazing Atmosphere, gorgeous Food delicious Took longer than expected, and they basically comped our whole meal !! They were so kind . It was Christmas Day and they were short staffed apparently. Could not have been happier. Would definitely go back. Great place for groups  Had a beautiful round table

We plan our trip to NYC around eating at Carmine’s. This time we ate at the upper West Side location. We usually eat at the Times Square location. But this year it was booked solid for Christmas a month in advance. We were wowed again with an awesome meal at Carmines at 91st Street. We had the garlic bread with cheese. We always ask to add the cheese. So wonderful. We also split the lasagna. It is the best we have ever tasted. We brought over half of it home. I would recommend either Carmine’s to anyone wanting authentic Italian food at its best.

I don’t recall his name but our server was outstanding! Pleasant, fun, and helpful. The family talked about what a great vibe he brought to dinner! We go as a family every time we go to NYC (our third trip) and food is always delicious, with PLENTY to go around. Also appreciated the water pitcher on the table. As a large family (table of 9), it’s so much easier to keep the water glasses full ourselves. Thanks again!!
