- SSarahNew York City •1 review5.0Dined todayI don’t recall his name but our server was outstanding! Pleasant, fun, and helpful. The family talked about what a great vibe he brought to dinner! We go as a family every time we go to NYC (our third trip) and food is always delicious, with PLENTY to go around. Also appreciated the water pitcher on the table. As a large family (table of 9), it’s so much easier to keep the water glasses full ourselves. Thanks again!!More infoCarmine's - 44th Street - NYCPrice: Moderate• Italian• Theater District•4.6

- KKellySan Francisco Bay Area •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoI took my family to Ninos 46 after a show and had a fabulous time! The food was fabulous with many gluten free options including meatballs and calamari. The GF truffle pizza was the best and all 5 of us loved our meals followed by crème brûlée (GF). They even had NA beer for those who don’t drink alcohol. The waiter was allergy aware for one person with celiac and another with nut/peanut allergies and excellent service! The price was good for city restaurants. Would definitely recommend and will go back!More infoNinos 46Price: Moderate• Contemporary Italian• Midtown West•4.3
- TTracyCalgary / Southern Alberta •14 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 16, 2024Absolutely LOVED our first time at Carmines! From the service to the food everything was spectacular. It felt like we were part of the family and not only did Sarah, our sever, make sure we were well taken care of but everyone else who took our plates or tidied our table was so attentive and friendly. Definitely one of those core memory experiences. 10/10 Carmines…we will see you again :)More infoCarmine's - 91st Street - NYCPrice: Expensive• Italian• Upper West Side•4.6
