I recently had the pleasure of dining at Carmine's on 44th with a large party, and I must say, the service was exceptional from start to finish! The hostess made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived, and the attentive service continued throughout the evening. I spoke with the manager, who went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, ensuring we had everything we needed for a great experience. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was perfect for our gathering. I highly recommend Carmine's on 44th for its fantastic food and outstanding service!

This restaurant is just perfect for pre-theatre dining and/or special occasions. We celebrated an anniversary and needed to promptly move on to the theatre following dinner. The staff was great, attentive, knowledgeable and so professional. Food was excellent and the wine and desserts were memorable. We stayed at the Park Lane hotel and Quality Italian was just so convenient as well as welcoming. I’ll add it to our “must go in NYC” list.
