Restaurants near Apartment168 NYC

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!

I was there on a Thursday evening for dinner with a client. The service was friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. The drinks were unique variations of classic cocktails, and very pleasing. While very active, the noise level didn’t interfere with normal conversation. It was very pleasant evening.

Truly a gem. Wether you are in town for vacation or business, this place is a must. Food is just simply delicious, classics with a special touch that makes each dish standout. Quality food, amazing service and ambiance without an ounce of pretentiousness. You must dry insalate Gelato, lamb chops cooked to perfection, sea bass - delicious. But above all, absolute must is pistachio tiramisu dessert : airy, light, with just the right amount of delicate sweetness. Every member of the staff is making you feel cared for and welcome. Host and , I believe, co -owner Antino ( i was told he makes pistachio dessert) is very kind, witty and welcoming. Truly a gem in NY

This was our second time dining here and as was with the first time the food was superb, service was excellent and the atmosphere was incredible dining in the old vault area! We will definitely be back!

Solid destination for Brunch with quick service and large portion sizes. Cocktails are well made and arrive quickly with a lot containing tequila if that’s your thing! Our drinks were served in plastic glasses/tumblers which for us was the difference in 4 or 5 stars. Overall, I’d definitely recommend and plan to go back.
