With humble yet ambitious beginnings in a cozy space in the heart of Little Italy, Parm® is a chef-driven concept created by renowned chefs Mario Carbone and Rich Torrisi, and restauranteur Jeff Zalaznick. Famous for Chicken Parm, Mario's Meatballs, signature deli sandwiches and our uncompromising New York roots, we celebrate updated takes on classic Italian dishes with which our chefs grew up, in a fun, casual neighborhood setting. Our dishes are all handmade from scratch, every day, and this thoughtful authentic craftsmanship has earned us two stars from the New York Times and the title of one of the 101 Best Places to Eat in North America by Newsweek. Parm is owned and operated by Major Food Group, the creative forces behind some of the most celebrated restaurants in the United States, including Carbone, Sadelle's, Dirty French, ZZ's Clam Bar, Santina, THE GRILL, THE POOL, The Lobster Club, and The Polynesian.

So glad my wife suggested this restaurant to me. I can go on and on with accolades but I can say it all in one word... PERFECTION! Best Baked Ziti ever, Meat Balls incredible and my 14 yr.old son loved the chicken Parm... Kudos to chef, staff and management. Will DEFINITELY be back soon! Highly recommend this eatery.

The food does not match the aesthetic at all, and that is a compliment to the food, not the decor. A place that has a liquor license should have nicer tables that the likes of those sitting in the pedestrian mall outside of Macy's. I think the glass my bourbon arrived in may have had more weight to it than the chair I was sitting in. The [lack of] ambiance does not make me want to bring people here, even though the food is tasty. I've never been to the original location, but the UWS location was very cheesy looking and feeling - it actually feels like an old-timey ice cream parlor (which again, does not match the menu, or the fact that you have a liquor license....). I paid $45 for chicken parm, a tiny side salad and a cocktail - but I felt like I was in a mall food court, which makes the price harder to swallow. We went across the street to the Tavern on the corner to get another drink after dinner, and we sat there for twice as long as we did eating a full meal (including appetizer) at this establishment. Really crappy, chintzy aesthetic.

Wish they let you order a different pasta on the dinner. The house pasta is filled with melted cheese strings and is also spicy. Would have rather had something simpler. Otherwise, it tastes like the Italian food of my childhood.

First time there, sat us right away. Very friendly staff, multiple ppl checked on our table. Food was good and fresh, & came out hot and fast. We were half hour early for our rez and it was not problem. Was a good place to eat before The Met, easy walking distance from Lincoln Center. Would recommend and definitely go back.

Decent food, but the service was not good. The server forgot to mention several items were not available that night until we were in the process of ordering. The glasses of wine were not full pours. The table we were seated at was dirty. All in all it was a very disappointing experience.
