truly amazing i 10000% recommend especially if you're italian the market downstairs is amazing over 9,000 italian products all fresh the food was the best my husband and i have ever had you can tell its fresh and house made this is definitely a must try place that my husband and i will visit everytime we come to nyc from now on! our server was so genuine and truly cared that we had a good experience the ski lodge pop was the perfect cozy, chic, elevated vibe that we were looking for!

The food was delicious and the staff was very nice. This is my second time going to this restaurant.

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.

This place never misses! It’s so consistent. So friendly and the food is so so good!

I just celebrated my birthday with friends at Pera Soho. 1- They were super clear on communication and provided answers to every question I had while booking. 2- The entire staff is very sweet and accomodating. Our waiter (why the hell did I not get his name - he was a younger, Latino gentleman) is doing his job with love or at least that's how he shows it. Despite the 20% tip being automatically added due to large group size, he kept going above and beyond. Normally when the tip is included in the bill, you don't get this level of service at other restaurants! 3- The food was DELICIOUS! 4- The venue has a very beautiful setting. It easily accomodates larger groups and yet still has a cozy enough vibe for a romantic dinner too. The outdoor patio looked very nice, though buried under snow when we went. I definitely wanna come back for the patio once the weather is nicer.
