I will never NOT go to Carmine's while visiting New York! It is the absolute best food every single time I go. Portion size is unbelievable, plenty for 4 hungry adults. Calamari was excellent! We ordered the special for the day, can't remember the name but it was penne pasta with a spicy sausage and vodka sauce - 10/10. Make reservations early!

My husband and I decided to go for lunch instead of having dinner at Elia. Marcello was knowledgeable and attentive to our needs. We had a delicious lunch around noon and truly enjoyed the pre fixe menu. Will definitely be coming for lunch again, as we truly enjoyed the quieter and relaxing atmosphere.
