- VVivianNew York City •24 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoGreat experience. Service and pasta making instruction was excellent. Friendly staff. Great value in that you have a nice meal while there and you get to bring home the pasta you made for another meal at home. The buratta was delicious as was the broken meatball sauce and the pesto! Our only complaint was that we wish they had a bigger space. The seating and pasta making stations are very tight and because the ceilings are low, there’s not great airflow. Otherwise a fun night!More infoAunt Jake's Pasta ExperiencePrice: Moderate• Contemporary Italian• Upper East Side•4.9
- KKimVIPNew York City •5 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoFirst time going to the Plaza Hotel for afternoon tea. Pleasantly surprised with the quality and service considering the mixed reviews. Sandwiches were delicious and there seemed to be endless tea in the teapot. Mary was amazing at making this experience memorable! She was super nice, informative, and great at anticipating what works for us! Would definitely go back.More infoThe Palm Court at The Plaza HotelPrice: Very Expensive• American• Midtown East•4.4

- LLisaVIPNew York City •30 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe were so pleased with our first visit to Carmine's. My husband and I usually travel to NYC alone, and have never gone before because we heard how large the portions are - and they are NOT kidding. There were 7 of us for dinner, and we shared a Caesar Salad, Cheesy Garlic Bread, Rigatoni Bolognese, Eggplant Parm, Veal Scallopini, and Tiramisu and it was perfect portions. Only thing we took home was the Garlic Bread (which the 19-year-old scarfed down likely before it made it to the hotel fridge.) Paul our server was fantastic - happy to see our family reunion the day after Christmas with family from Myrtle Beach. The restaurant is crowded and loud, so expect that - but it's a fun environment and you can tell it's mostly families just having a great time. This dinner capped off a perfect day celebrating the 19-year-old's first Broadway Show.More infoCarmine's - 44th Street - NYCPrice: Moderate• Italian• Theater District•4.6
