“DINNER - What can I say, this is my all-time favorite, must-do restaurant in NYC. Every visit I have to dine here! OK, so our most recent visit (3/26/08), a Wednesday, we called early in the day but the only reservations were after 8pm, so we went to a show in the afternoon then walked over to Carmine's, the wait was 1 1/2 hours. We put our names on the list (Party of 4) and used the time to check into our hotel and freshen up. We returned about 1-hour later, check that we were not called early, and waited about 20 minutes more. We were seated in the back, on a raised area which gave us a great view of the entire dining area. We could see the food being delivered at the other tables. We started with a salad, then a Stuffed Artichoke (YUM!). The artichoke is great. We ordered Lasagna and the night's special a stuffed pork chop. The server steered us away from a full order of the pork chop and thank goodness, because even with the half order we could not finish it all. The lasagna was plenty to split 4 ways, the pork chop was delicious and was served with mashed potatoes and spinach. Sadly, in all the times I have dined here, I have never had room for dessert, on one visit I will have to go late one night just for dessert. Well worth the cost, I cannot rave enough about this place.”
