    We had an excellent experience af Bad Roman. The babka, truffle penne luongo, short rib papparadelle, and chocolate torte were all to die for. Some of the best Italian I've had outside of Italy. And they gave my wife and I a card and a glass of champagne for our anniversary. Great experience!

    The beauty of this place, and the excellent service, almost but not quite make up for the fact that the food, though very good, is not quite as super as one would expect from the price. Plus, the noise volume is considerable. Still, the positives definitely outweight the negatives.

    It’s such a comfortable spot for a meal before a performance across the street at Lincoln Center. The food, ambiance and service have never disappointed me (us). We are beginning to feel like regulars sitting at our requested table each time. Dining there is another type of performance to enjoy. A class act! It has been around for a while judging from the discolored ceiling tiles.

    I picked this restaurant by looking at online reviews. I could not have made a better choice. Our reservation was on time. We walked in, sat down and were immediately greeted by our server. Emily was her name. She was without a doubt, one of the best servers I have ever had the pleasure of working with she treated my wife and me as if we were her only customer and we were the most important people in the restaurant. It was truly a special occasion for us. The food was everything that she had said it would be and everything that I read online. It was fabulous. We took her suggestions for some of the dishes we got and every suggestion she made was fantastic. I will go back to Carmines anytime I’m in New York City.
