worth the trip uptown
Had a great experience at the Carmine's uptown and was very disappointed hitting this one in Times Square. The service was rude and slow. They treated us like stupid tourists and I swear the waiter rolled his eyes at us on several occasions. The food here is super salty. Another tactic to push the alcohol portion of the bill, is my guess - but I really felt that management at this restaurant is more out to make a quick buck than make return customers. It's a shame really b/c I work very close by but will never step foot into this place again.

LOVE to go to Carmine's!
Whenever my daughters and I visit NYC, a meal at Carmine's is a MUST! My youngest daughter lives in Miami and she truly misses good northeastern USA Italian cooking! The only downside to dining at Carmine's is the wait......

"Big Portions" doesn't mean good food...
Don't let the "big portions" fool you... the food quality ranges from very poor to only good. Garlic is NOT the only ingredient in italian food---and I'm italian. You don't go to this restaurant for the quality of its food. You go to remember what is was like when your family and your cousins' families all met at your grandmother's house to enjoy food. But only the big portions will remind you of your grandmother's cooking. The atmosphere is poor... it's like eating in a giant mess hall---cavernous, loud. But here's the oddity: people seem to have a good time. The waiters are friendly. The food is a big disappointment. Again... they constantly play up the "big portions" gimmick---because that's what it is... a gimmick. What good is big portions if the food quality is poor. So if it's big portions you want, this is your place. But if it's quality you want, pick another italian restaurant (like Rocco's in the Village).

What a Selection
Take an appetite and lots of friends. Try something different. Whatever you pick, it will be great. Wait until you see the bread! Oh, go early and hang at the bar. Have a sour apple martini and make make lots of new friends.

Great for large Groups
This is a "family style" restaurant - the portions are meant to be shared. The food is good, a little expensive but its great for a small or large groups. A word of advice, if you don't like garlic stay away or ask your server to recommend something without garlic. I unfortunately went with a very plain eater who failed to mention she didn't like garlic and we were left with 2 enormous plates of food that she refused to eat a bite of because garlic was in the ingredients. oh, and make reservations!!
