- SSarahNew York City •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoI 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
