   If we can give Carmine's 10 Stars - we would! Carmine's far exceeded our expectations on 3-19-2025 - we made reservations originally for 4:30 p.m. as we were seeing Sunset Blvd right down the street. However, when we realized that the play would probably run over that time, I tried making a change to 5:00 p.m., but the host said they only had 5:30 p.m. as it would be very busy at 5:00 p.m. She said you can come earlier and if we can sit you - we will. We got to Carmine's about 4:50 p.m. checked in at the desk and were advised to wait by the bar. It was filled to capacity. We went to the other end of the bar and there was an empty high top table so being seniors we sat down. We knew that the table may be reserved so were prepared to get up. The waiter Trinidad came over and I explained we had a reservation for 5:30 p.m. and would it be OK to sit at the empty table as the front desk said to wait. I then asked would it be OK to stay at the table to dine. Trinidad went to the front desk and at first they said no and we were about to get up, but then the hostest came back and said to Trinidad it was OK to sit at the table. We were very grateful to Trinidad, the hostess and to Carmine's - then we had the best meal ever - Shrimp Red with Linquine and Veal Parm (which was out of the world - the best ever). We want to thank Carmine's for a great dining experience, great service by Trinidad and excellent food! We have been Carmine's customers for many years since the 1990's. We have visited many of the Carmine's: NYC, Las Vegas and Atlantic City!

   Carmines is a NYC icon and after decades of patronizing the 44th Street location, there’s still no better place for family-style Southern Italian eating.
