4.4/5 — Very good(13,435 reviews)· $$· Italian· New York

Mubboo Verdict

Family-style Italian near Times Square, best for groups who want big portions and a lively vibe.

Insider tip: Reviews repeatedly advise ordering only one dish per person because portions are huge—waiters will tell you this, but some diners still over-order.

★★★★Family
It was the first time we ate here, after several recommendations from friends, and it did not disappoint. Our waitress Annette was so helpful and friendly. We had the mixed green salad that was loaded with everything, including olives, pepperoncini, roasted peppers, and fennel. We also ordered the breaded cutlets, which were delicious!

★★★★Couples
The food was really nice and staff were very friendly and helpful. Ive seen a lot of the other reviews recommending to only order one thing because the portions are big. This is literally what youre supposed to do anyway and the waiter will tell you this.

We wanted really good Italian food near Times Square and Carmine's came recommended. While we liked the atmosphere, we were underwhelmed by the food. The Veal Saltimbocca did not have prosciutto like it was supposed to and the dark gravy overwhelmed the dish. The Pomodoro Sauce had whole tomatoes, which was not terrible, but not great either.
