Carmine's is a family style restaurant offering exceptional value to its guests through the many dishes of Southern Italian cuisine.

Platters of made to order pasta, decadent seafood or meat entrees, and of course homemade desserts are all staples at Carmine's, meant for sharing among friends and family. When great food and wine are supported by friendly and knowledgeable service, the results are magic - we want every day to feel like a Sunday afternoon at Grandma's!

    Noisy place. Linguine was not "al dente". It was cooked a lot. Bolognese sauce with lots of herbs. Dish must have been microwaved as sauce was watery. Very different from a real Italian pasta.

    Great food, but bread was a bit stale which is odd considering the amount they go through. Service was friendly but spotty with waiter having to be reminded several times about different issues. On the whole, a great option in the theater district.

    This restaurant has been around for a long time and has been consistently wonderful. The service is fast and on point. The food is fresh and comes out quickly. An old fave the stuffed artichoke, is phenomenal. Would recommend 3-4 people to each entree, unless you want to take it home. I try to go here every NYC visit. Make a reservation because the pre-theatre crowds are massive!

    I have been dining at Carmine's for over 15 yrs and have never been disappointed yet! Food, service and ambience was always excellent! Whenever I take my friends their it becomes their favorite restaurant to go to from that point on and take their family and friends to whenever they are in the City. It's the perfect location if you are going to the theater and want to dine out! LOVE IT THERE!

    Went here for my mother’s birthday. Everyone was so kind, friendly and sweet. The staff even sang happy birthday to my mother, creating a memorable experience. My mother has a hard time walking, so the elevator was a game changer, not to mention a staff member escorted my mother, which was wonderful. Would highly recommend!

    Service sucks. Waiters don’t appear to be happy actually seem annoyed with life or their job. Food was good. The chicken Marsala was awesome, the marinara with fettuccine was ok, and Italian sodas were delicious. Each meal is enough for 4 people at least. Also didn’t have to wait long for food or drinks. We were a party of 2 so we definitely had leftovers. Good value for parties of 4 or more. Make a reservation.

    If you dine at Carmine"s bring at least 2 other people with you. The portions are so enormous , that two people have a hard time making a dent in a shared salad and or entree. The salads could easily feed 4 people. Our pre -matinee lunch was tasty but expensive for the amount of food we could possible consume between the two of us. This is a good place for a group to eat "family style" - not so much for just a couple. Definitely have a reservation to dine there in the theater district, it is very busy. Our Table was ready for us on time and our server was prompt. It is a very noisy restaurant , with lots of bustling activity but the food was tasty. It's location, across the street from the Shubert Theater and around the corner from Times Square is definitely a plus, if you are seeing a Broadway Show.

    If you arrive at noon a lunch menu should be provided. If you ask for one you are looked upon as you are asking for something strange. Once given the menu you are now restricted to the bar. Choices on the "lunch" menu are limited to hero sandwiches. No sooner do you sit down a wave of people surround you all waiting to be seated. If you elect to dine at a table and you are a party of 2 you are seated at a small table lined up with many similar seating arrangements, all extremely close to each other. I have gone to Carmines many times in the past, usually for dinner and with at least 6 people, a lot of fun. BUT, if 2 are going before a matinee, choose a different restaurant.

    While the food was good, the amount was excessive for a couple on their way to the theater. Most items were labeled for two to four people. So you are forced to order way too much. If traveling, it doesn’t make sense to take any leftovers. I would only recommend if you lived locally or went with party of 4 or more.

    We reached out to Carmine’s well in advance of a group event. They advised us to reserve separate tables saying they would seat us all together and then didn’t put our tables near each other even though there were open tables for the same number of people available. The food was mediocre and our service was poor overall.

    We ate outside, which was a really good choice, it made the noise level manageable. (Inside was really really crowded and noisy.) Food is great, but it comes in family size portions, which are very generous. We were a party of six, and we had people going home to a refrigerator with leftovers, so it worked out very well for us. Very friendly service, very kid-friendly.
