- 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
- NNicoleVIPNew York City •27 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoService, drinks and food were exceptional. We had the Little Gem Caesar salad and crispy calamari casino to start, both delicious. Then we had the Chicken Parm Pizza for 2 and FUSILLI AL MANZO,Filet Mignon Ragu, Chili Breadcrumbs, Basil. Absolutely amazing!! The table shared BURNT MARSHMALLOW dessert, Graham Cracker Pizzelle, Toasted Meringue. Excellent way to end the meal. I highly recommend Quality Italian!

- 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

- MMollyCoastal Georgia •1 review5.0Dined 5 days agoDinner was so delicious! Service was great—really appreciate them making Christmas Eve so special! Very family friendly. We ordered an appetizer and then had one dish of the chicken Alfredo. It was literally the best I’ve ever had. It fed two adults and two children. The kids loved it and cleared their plates. Then we had the Italian cheesecake and hot fudge brownie. Both were great, definitely recommend the brownie.More infoTony's Di Napoli - MidtownPrice: Expensive• Italian• Theater District•4.8
