    I took my daughter to The Palm Court at The Plaza for Afternoon Tea for her 12th birthday (first time for both of us) and we had an absolutely wonderful time. We both had the “Central Park” and we loved it. The ambiance, service, attentiveness to my daughter’s peanut allergy…EVERYTHING was just perfect. Special thanks to Vincent and Mary and everyone who stopped by to wish my daughter a Happy Birthday. It was a truly memorable day and we can’t wait to visit again!

    We were visiting New York on a quick business trip and wanted an authentic Italian meal while in town. A friend that had lived in New York year’s ago recommended Carmine’s. She went to the original restaurant back then. We took a chance and fell in love with the atmosphere, service, and just amazing quality of food. We would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a traditional Italian restaurant that serves you like you are family!

    Another visit to Angelina's that didn't disappoint. The food was fresh, cooked to perfection and delicious. Our waiter, Damiano, was attentive, helpful and friendly. I love listening to Arlette, the singer performing at Angelina's many Friday and Saturday nights. Her voice is incredible. Angelina's is perfect for a quiet dinner or a fun girl's night out! The food is quality which is why it may be pricier than some other local restaurants. However, there are several more moderate priced items on the menu to choose from as well.
