Great Italian at very reasonable prices. A friend and I dined here and split one platter as well as a bottle of wine and we left with money in our pockets as well as leftovers! C...

I went to Carmine's in NYC recently, and honestly, was treated like SH*T. We made reservations ahead of time. I asked if the restaurant was child friendly, which I was told, of co...

Excellent Service and Wine List 2/14/2006

When you go to Tony's, instead of fare like chicken parmigiana and penne ala vodka, opt for their gorgeous steaks which can be sliced and easily shared, and anything with seafood. Their lobster is one of the best values in Manhattan. Also, I was pleasantly suprised to find such an in depth wine list, bth in quality and value. Our waiter told us he knew all the wines on it quite well, and he did! We went with his reccomendation and and were pleased beynd belief!! more

Reminded How Sub-Par This Place Is. 2/6/2006

I've lived in this neighborhood for years and know to avoid this place. However, I was in two circumstances with friends where I ate here in the last two months. The food is awfully bland and a disgrace to Italian cuisine. If forced, your best bet is the eggplant and sausage & peppers. The wine list and pasta are the WORST in NYC! The service is incompetent. Each time, they forgot to bring out 2 dishes, yet they were on the bill, and one time brought us out dishes we didn't order. At least they were apologetic about the bill and fixed it with no hassle. They're also ill-knowledgable about wine and cuisine. There is also an overwhelming B&T presence. Pros: Good for large gorups Cons: Food & Wine, Awful Service, B&T more

A Perfect Ending 6/5/2005

What an exceptional way to end my last night in New York. The food is exceptional, the service was excellent. Where else in New York can you stop in without reservations and get a table for six within minutes? Hat's off to our waiter - I think he enjoyed our East Tennessee hospitality:) Highly recommend for tourists it will be an experience you want soon forget. Pros: Theme, Atmosphere, Food portions more

WE ARE NOT COWS !!! 4/21/2005

Went there on a busy night.We felt like cows with the cowboy waiters moving us "in & out" as soon as possible.It seemed that the chef was in a big hurry too, because our salad came with our entrees, AT THE SAME TIME !! I don't know, people tell me good things about this place, but it was such a bad experience that I don't think I'll be back for another round. Pros: Nice setting Cons: service, food more

Vegetarian food was bland 6/30/2004

The atmosphere is definitely family-style, the portions are huge (usually each platter serves 2-3 people), but the food is fairly bland. (I am vegetarian, so perhaps it's just the veggie platters). However, for the same price range, you can find higher quality food and a more attentive staff in the area. The restaurant is almost the entire block long and as such the service is not as personal. Pros: Large portions, good for group/family Cons: , service is "ok" more

Worth Every Dime 12/28/2003

I've been here several times with large groups and also with just one other person and everytime was excellent. For the price I do not see why people are leaving bad comments on the service. The food is always good, portions are very large(always plan on a doggy bag), and the overall cost is relatively inexpensive. I can see why sometimes people feel the service is lacking but what could you expect when 70% of the customers are part of a large group? Of course the service will be slow at times when the waiters are helping each other out by delivering the dinners to each table as it ready to be served. Tony's DiNapoli, while it isn't the most extravagent restaurant in NY, it is always good and always a pleasure to visit - to put it bluntly - its the best deal for Italian in NY. Pros: Relatively Inexpensiv, Great Reliable Food, Nice Decor Cons: Bad Bread more

bellini! 9/17/2003

The food is excellent and inexpensive! (2 people can eat one dish at least!) So far in the comments no one has mentioned what I consider the highlight of the restaurant... the frozen peach bellini. They are amazing! If you have never had one, try one! If oyu have had one try this one, they are the best!! Pros: inexpensive, good service, good food more

A wonderful and fun experience 7/20/2003

We went here for my sisters Bacchelorette party with 9 girls. It was so easy to plan a group event here with a prix fix menu. We all loved the food, which was endless. Our server was so helpful and nice, he even took lots of pictures for us without a problem. By the end of the night we were all trying to plan another event so we can come back! This place is great for having a really fun time with a group of people. The calamari and mozzarella en corroza are the best!! Pros: Delicious food, Great staff, Easy party planning Cons: Not romantic more

Bachelorette Party 6/22/2003

We went for my sister-in-law's bachelorette party. They seated us as soon as we arrived, even though we were very early. We had set up the prix-fix to make it easier. The drinks flowed freely, the food seemed to never end, the server was attentive, and the ambiance was great. They even sent us home with enough leftovers to feed several people the next day! I would recommend this place, but not if you're looking for a quiet romantic meal! Pros: food quality/quantity, good value, great ambiance Cons: crowded, loud more

Bridal Shower Disaster 6/10/2003

I've gone to Tony's before due to the great food and service. So I decided to have my Bridal Shower there in Feb. 2003. The waiter was very attentive and courtious. The food was great and nothing was rushed up until dessert. All of a sudden, there was a waitress hovering over the table and rudely put balloons on our table that belonged to another party. As the waitress cleaned the table in a rush she knocked over a party bag containing a glass bottle with bath oil. She picked it up and moved it out of her way. My friend picked up the bag and the oil spilled on her suede pants. The manager apologized and promised to take care of the cleaning bill but that was it. The waitress didn't even apologize. The food was good but this was unnecessary. Good food doesn't make up for rude service. Pros: Good food, Good portions Cons: Rude wait staff more

Huge portions of tasty, filling, Italian 4/28/2003

Tony's is a great place to go on a date or with family. The food is served family style and even then, you wind up with a "doggie bag". Although copious, the food itself is good (not excellent). The appetizers are almost all fried or seafood. The eggplant rollatine was delicious as were the Tuscan-style steaks. (45.00 for 2 LARGE NY Strip steaks plus veggies.) Pros: Large portions, Moderately Priced, Courteous service Cons: Mostly Fried, Noisy atmosphere more

Tony's is the best! 2/19/2003

I've been to the two locations so far and the service is just the same... WONDERFUL. The food is filling, and tasty. And the atmosphere is great and semi-romantic. 4 out of 5 stars. Pros: Tasty, fast service, good prices Cons: hard bread, cramped, chilly. more

Good Food & Fun 12/12/2002

I've been to Tony Di Napoli 3 times so far and always have a good time. It's always a busy place, though the service is always very good. It's also not expensive. The food is good and plentiful. It's good to go with a group if you can as the food is family style though you don't have to. The first time we went was for New Year's and we had a blast as they gave out party hats, horns, etc. I always have fun here and will definitely go back again. Pros: Reasonable Prices, Good Food, Fun Cons: Very Busy more

Great Cheap Eats 11/25/2002

This place is a lot of fun to eat with a group or if you are especially hungry. The food is good, not amazing, but for the price and the amount they serve, it is worth it. Both entrees we ordered were very flavorful and good and the service is great. The waiter was extremely helpful and very nice. This restaurant is great and I would recommend it for groups or families with kids. It is also just an informal, fun place to eat. Pros: large portions, great service, inexpensive more

Family Done Right 11/5/2002

At Tony's, the food is excellent, as is the service and the prices. Family style plates serve 2 to 3, and it's incredibly kid-friendly. Come early, because even with 3 enormous dining rooms it fills up fast! Pros: Great food, Good prices, Family friendly Cons: Gets crowded more
