    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.

    Love the restaurant as a top choice for pre-theater dining. Or anytime! We really enjoyed the restaurant week menu. The shrimp scampi is outstanding. Large, partial shell-on grilled shrimp have a wonderful char served over perfectly cooked spinach and polenta. Sauce on the bottom keeps this healthy and light. The house made, fresh cannoli are truly worth the calories. The shell is made of pressed, candied almonds, the filling is light and creamy, and the blueberry sauce underneath is a new twist that really works. The artwork is icing on the cake.
