- SSuzettevipMiami - Dade •23 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoI was pleasantly surprised by Carmine’s given its location in a tourist area. The pasta was cooked al dente and chicken parm still had its crisp from the fryer and just enough sauce. Portions are for 2-4 ppl. Service was very attentive. Highly recommend for a family or group meal.More infoCarmine's - 44th Street - NYCPrice: Moderate• Italian• Theater District•4.6

- JjessicaPhoenix / Arizona •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoKazon was our server and he made our experience perfect. His timing on taking care of myself and my guests, along with his suggestions were brilliant. A must visit anytime of the year, but especially special during the holidays. We did dress for the occasion, and I highly recommend doing so. You experience a level of fine dining while being accompanied by fellow guests with the same taste, it’s a lovely way to slow time down in the busy hustle of Manatan❤️More infoThe Palm Court at The Plaza HotelPrice: Very Expensive• American• Midtown East•4.4

The portions of each course of the meal are huge! Don’t order the same as your partner. Try different things and share! We love Aunt Jake’s.
