Really really good! Not one of the restaurants that feels like the same Italian food. They put a more classic/traditional twist on it. Absolutely recommend.

Came here attracted to the happy hour, which lasts until 7pm and seemed like a steal: half off their drinks means you get a glass of wine for about $7-8 and $6 appetizers?! Yes please. Five stars on those apps, which I had low expectations for but completely proved me wrong. I thought I was getting just some fried carb bombs to soak up the drinks, but actually both the arancini and the crispy zucchini were some of the best I've had in casual Italian spots in the city. The arancini was flavor-packed and fluffy, and the zucchini had been dried and pressed before being battered and deep-fried so it wasn't mushy or watery at all. We ended up liking the apps so much we got a meatball parm main. The pasta was al dente and perfectly sauced. I wasn't as huge a fan of the meatballs (the pork blend is a little heavy for me) but it was tasty enough for the entire meal to feel like a five star deal. Happy hour is only at the bar, which required me to wait for about 15min for a seat when I rolled up there at around 5:45. More seats opened up at 6:30 thoigh.

Let me start by saying I have not felt THIS content after a meal in ages. I left feeling so full and happy after my meal here. The garlic bread is PHENOMENAL. do yourself a favor and get the deluxe because almost nothing in the world is better than this garlic bread dipped in ricotta. It was so flavorful, so buttery, just melted in my mouth. I could write forever about how much I enjoyed this garlic bread. So yeah, go to parm and get the deluxe garlic bread, you WILL thank me. The rigatoni carbone was also delicious, very creamy and rich. Would be great with some ricotta on it. I will say it could've been spicier, but definitely demolished the entire bowl because it was still stupidly yummy. The s'mores cake was the perfect end to the meal. After all those carbs ice cream just hits the spot. It's nothing crazy but it just goes so perfectly as the end to this meal. Wish they had tiramisu though. All the food was out suuuuper quick, and our server was so friendly :) place is cute - kind of an upscale diner vibe. Just note that the outdoor seating closes at 9 if that's what you're aiming for. 100/10 recommend!

I came here for lunch on a weekday and was pleased to find there was no wait. The restaurant has a bright and casual vibe. We ordered the Rigatoni Carbone, Chicken Parm, and Garlic Bread. Everything was delicious, with the exception of the spicy rotini that came with the Chicken Parm--it was overcooked and lacked flavor. The Rigatoni Carbone was amazing. It was full of flavor, and the pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. The Garlic Bread, though thinner than I expected, was amazingly crispy and enjoyable. Overall, a great spot for a tasty, casual meal in the city.

We love Carbone and didn't make a reservation in time for our New York trip. Luckily we heard about Parm and were excited to try it in comparison. Everything was a home run! We ordered our favorite rigatoni and meatballs. We also enjoyed the Caesar salad and added some breaded chicken, chef's kiss! They had a nice selection of wines, I tried a Gavi and was very pleased. Parm is a good option, and more relaxed atmosphere, to fall into when craving the quality of Carbone and a delicious Italian meal.

I don't usually eat it at Italian restaurants but this was a spot that was recommended by a foodie. We went on a Saturday night so it was pretty busy, but we got lucky and was almost seated immediately. It was nice that we got a corner in the back but even then it was really loud. I have to scream across the table to be heard. The overall service was mid. There were a lot of tables to serve and it was hard to grab service and the waiters and waitresses weren't particularly friendly, they just needed to get their job done... In terms of the food, it did hit. The flavors were really well integrated with the pasta. The penne scampi and fusilli bolognese are must haves. But having four servings of pasta is a lot and having a salad on the side does make the difference. We also got the crispy zucchini and fried calamari which weren't all too bad (a little pricey as appetizers tho).

Visited for Sunday lunch. Restaurant was pretty large and not too busy around 12:30 when we were seated. Service was fairly slow throughout the meal. We got the mozzarella sticks to start, which were tasty. Really enjoyed the rigatoni carbone. Sauce tasted very fresh and creamy with a hint of spice to it. Prices were fair too. Seating was a bit tight throughout the back of the restaurant. Wouldn't mind coming back for the pasta!
