    Carmine's is an institution... a big one. It is NOT a "New York" restaurant. It is for: tourists, visitors from the suburbs and the outer-est boroughs who are going to a show, and big parties that include children. For these and other challenging dinners, the place is perfect. It can seat 1000 people. The service is prompt and friendly and often has a sense of humor, even at the busiest times... which are really busy. They will sing "happy birthday" at the drop of a hint. The food, Italo-American standards, is always good for what it is. The dishes are served family-style, which means they feed 4-5. The bolognese is fine; the linguine and white clam sauce does not quite have enough clams, but is garlicky and ok; the sauteed spinach is great, as is the broccoli. It is what your nonna would have served you if she had only been a fairly good cook... and you had a nonna. The noise level at busy times is monumental. In short, the place is an experience. Take your out of town relatives with kids.

    Food is truly delicious. Atmosphere is lively. Service was decent - good not great- the hosts were not too friendly and the waiter was decent.. Maybe they were short-staffed?..

    For sure, make a reservation. Then, still be ready to wait a bit. I suspect the place is always mobbed and the wait was a bit chaotic (cramped, not managed incredibly well), but once you are seated: it's all smooth and mechanic. Waiter was very personable and of course, the portions are enormous. I was surprised how quickly the food came out --- I'd love to tour the kitchen to see how all that volume gets pumped out! This place is best for parties of four to six, I would say. All in all, this is a NYC experience to have at least once. Lots of energy!
