Restaurants near 330 West 42nd Street

The waiters & waitresses are very attentive and knowledgeable about the food served here. They patiently answer your questions about the dishes and give valuable recommendations. We ordered Veal Shank (Osso Buco alla Becco) with a side of three pastas of the day and Chicken Parmigiana (Parmigiana di Pollo). To be honest, pasta tasted decent, nothing spectacular about it. The veal shank is beautifully cooked for several hours. The meat leaves the bone without any effort, it is very juicy, soft and rich in terms of flavor due to the fat content. Chicken Parmigiana is also very tasty and crisp! We also ordered drinks, the spritzer resembles aperol spiritz and it is very good however I cannot provide a positive comment if you order wine by the glass. The wine tasted like it is diluted when you order by the glass so if your party is a good wine drinker you better go for the bottle.

Location was great, close to port authority and theaters. Food was very good. All steaks cooked medium are actually rare.. excellent food, great service !

I picked this restaurant by looking at online reviews. I could not have made a better choice. Our reservation was on time. We walked in, sat down and were immediately greeted by our server. Emily was her name. She was without a doubt, one of the best servers I have ever had the pleasure of working with she treated my wife and me as if we were her only customer and we were the most important people in the restaurant. It was truly a special occasion for us. The food was everything that she had said it would be and everything that I read online. It was fabulous. We took her suggestions for some of the dishes we got and every suggestion she made was fantastic. I will go back to Carmines anytime I’m in New York City.

The dinner was absolutely delicious, and not the usual restaurant fare. The warm rolls and butter and oil started us off beautifully. We were thrilled with the recommendation for the skate. It was cooked so perfectly with lentils and spinach. I had never had this before, but I will definitely be going back to Marseille to have it again. Additionally, the bouillabaisse was outstanding!

It was my Mom’s birthday today and so we came here to celebrate. Everyone was kind to her and made her feel welcomed. The food was delicious! We both had the lobster and shrimp meal. She had the seafood bisque and I had the miso soup. Both soups were very good. The drink we ordered was the coconut sakeini; it was scrumptious. We also had the dessert tester and all of the desserts were amazing. The restaurant was very clean and organized. Thank you for making her day feel so special. She said this was one of the best birthdays ever. We would visit again.
