Great 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!

We plan our trip to NYC around eating at Carmine’s. This time we ate at the upper West Side location. We usually eat at the Times Square location. But this year it was booked solid for Christmas a month in advance. We were wowed again with an awesome meal at Carmines at 91st Street. We had the garlic bread with cheese. We always ask to add the cheese. So wonderful. We also split the lasagna. It is the best we have ever tasted. We brought over half of it home. I would recommend either Carmine’s to anyone wanting authentic Italian food at its best.
