C'mon, this is hardly one of the top italian restaurants in New York... For the money, it's a good value. It's an upscale Olive Garden or Carraba's with gargantous portions and a New York atmosphere, so it makes for a fun meal for the money. But the food is not fabulous (it's pretty good, though). I would say it's good for a group, and also good for a pre-theater meal (watch those long waits, though). Other than that, there are so many amazing restaurants in NY, that Carmine's should not be on the top of this list.
