    Right from the start you could tell it wasn’t going to be a good experience when you walk into an Italian restaurant and they are blaring rap music. Next the waiter poured us 4 glasses of tap water splashing it all over the table and never offered us ice. I guess that’s what we get for not getting the sparkling. I asked for my calamari to not have the hot peppers. Guess what it had. Yup. And that was my entree’. I just had him take it off the bill because it took forever for 3 bowls of spaghetti and the rest of my party would be done long before my food arrived. Our server was missing in action more than her was taking care of us. Oh what Italian restaurant doesn’t have Italian sausage on their menu. I won’t be back my bill was over $100 2 bowls of spaghetti one with meatballs, 1 scampi and one loaf of Italian and vodka tonics.

    The service here is abysmal. It took forever to put our orders in, the food was slow, the empty plates were not cleared between courses. After waiting 30 minutes for the “special” ice cream cake it came half melted. A compete shame as the food is quite delicious, but not worth enduring the terrible experience in store

    I have been here three times since this location opened, and my impression remains the same: good but certainly not great food that is quite overpriced, and a waitstaff and host that seem determined to make you feel that they couldn't care less if you eat there or not. I choose not.

    It was nice to find a proper family friendly restaurant in an area dominated by bars. Food was very tasty. Service was slow, especially as the restaurant was not packed. May be they were optimizing wait staff on Sunday evening as the bar tender was the one who left the bar to come and take our orders. Ambience was good with comfortable table and seating. Not noisy but not snobbisly quiet as well.

    I found this restaurant when I was looking for a place that I figured would have good chicken parm. I don’t normally go to the same restaurants a lot but I’ll continue to come here again and again. The food is amazing and there’s so much of it so it makes for a great late night 2nd dinner. The service is always quick and I love the ambiance of the restaurant. Can’t wait to come back again soon!

    The food was good, but if the chicken parm meal is marketed as a meal it would have been nice to have a salad to start the meal, like one would do at any transitional italian restaurant. The mozzarella and prosciutto plate was good, but also weird it didn’t come with tomatoes. The chicken parm sandwich and fries were good and the chicken parm meal itself was good, but it’s not (IMO) a meal unless there’s a salad offered at the beginning.

    We had a disastrous dining experience. Restaurant was out of eggplant parm - the whole reason we came to PARM - due to a party. Appetizer took 20 minutes and we waited an additional 30 minutes for food - which was received only after complaining. The food itself was Olive Garden quality at best. Does not come close to other locations in this same chain in terms of food. I gave 3 stars for service though as they were apologetic and eventually the manager comped the meal. Not an experience I plan to risk repeating any time soon, though.

    This was the worst meal I’ve ever had in my life. It took an hour to get our salads and sandwiches when the restaurant was completely dead. We asked for the manager 3 times and he refused to come talk to us. The server was really nice but nothing she could do because the kitchen and restaurant were so poorly run. I will never be coming back and will definitely be telling all of my family and friends to never come here either. Surprised this restaurant is even still opened....

    We were told upon arrival that the kitchen was very backed up. It was cold and rainy and we were staying across the street so I didn’t want to find another restaurant. Unfortunately they did not tell us that they had no meatballs for the meatball sandwiches or spaghetti and meatballs, which had been our reason for coming. All in all, a very pedestrian and frustrating experience. The waitress was sweet and worked really hard to try to get our order out, but it did take 45 minutes.

    Parm is a family friendly, fun place to meet for a early dinner with friends or family. It has a diner-like atmosphere with classic Italian dishes. The food is delicious and they have a full bar. Great for a quick bite and a good value.

    Had a 1pm reservation, waited about 5 minutes for a host to appear. Were seated and could hardly have a conversation with the loud ambient noise and hard surfaces amplifying the harsh clatter. Server took drink order and meal order and food was served within a reasonable time, 3 of the meals were ok, but the Pork Milanese resembled burnt umber warped shoe leather and was as tough and dry as the same, with a only a few shredded leaves of arugula thrown on top with a few slices grape tomatoes and what appeared to be a previously squeezed wedge of lemon. I’d recommend Chef to send this out with a machete, as the regular knife supplied wasn’t really up to the hacking required to chip off bite-sized pieces of crispy breaded mystery meat that tasted what I assume an Amazon packing box would taste like if you breaded and fried or baked it. I may try that myself at home to compare. After 5 minutes of four of us trying to flag our server, I finally was able to request sauce to somehow moisten up my well done Amazon box, and was brought out marinara, spicy sauce, and oil and vinegar. The spicy sauce and marinara helped with choking down, the pork-box substrate, unfortunately, I’ve been wrenching up raw garlic burps ever since ... apologies to my fellow Metro North passengers this evening, it made my eyes tear up too. The manager and waiter appeared after the sauce came out to check on the table, but with a business meeting underway, I wasn’t in a position to critique the food or service. Obviously the server thought I’d be thirsty after said cardboard and proactively supplied me with a 2nd pre-opened bottle of Pellegrino that I didn’t ask for, appreciate the extra $8 charge on the bill kind sir. After our meals were finished and trying to subtly get the servers attention for 10 mins while he was texting, I finally walked over to him with credit card in hand and asked for the check and paid at the server station. Not likely to return for another $130 lunch!

    The service is always poor when we go into the restaurant. There doesn’t seem to be a manager on site. We sat at the table for over 10 minutes and we had to get up and ask for a server to come bring us water and address the table, which was strange because the restaurant was more then half empty. I couldn’t find a manager on site. Just a hostess and a few waitstaff. Luckily the waitress I approached stepped up but I shouldn’t have to physically get up and ask someone to take care of us. The food is consistent but you are better off with take out because eating on site proves to be frustrating.

    The sauce seemed more like a tomato paste and was sticky and bland. The pasta was cooked well. The spaghetti and meatballs came with meatballs sliced in half on top of pasta. So really just 2 medium sized meatballs. The chicken parm was a plate with mostly pasta and 3 small cutlets that were over cooked. The Farro salad was great but the meal overall was very disappointing
