Great classic chicken and eggplant parmigiana (why it's called Parm) and pastas with the famous Carbone sauces but not Carbone prices. Prices are very reasonable for regular Italian red sauce entrees and lunch specials and a happy hour. Service is great with very attentive staff. Ambiance is casual diner. Highly recommend for regular neighborhood dining and after work. Seems very family friendly also. read more

Sharing the same ownership as the Carbone restaurant, you can get the famous spicy vodka pasta - looked much better than what I was eating (roast beef sandwich). Roast beef was overly hard crusty bread, not a fan of that as it was tough to bite through. The mayo/roast beef/pepper was ok in the middle but very salty - offset to the hard and tasteless sesame seeded Italian bread? Italian bread should be much softer... tough one there. Could've used some butter and garlic and at least there's an excuse for garlic bread to be hard. The pizza roll dots weren't very good (a little overbaked as they were hard, but not a great flavor with the red tomato sauce which was plain). Lunch special is a good deal, though, pasta carbone with the salad and a couple cannoli's would be excellent, though my colleague who had it said the pastry shell on the cannoli's was not very good (filling was good). Service was ok, but slow. They were not that busy at lunch (about half the tables full), getting the waitstaff attention wasn't the easiest. read more

Parm only received the 3 stars because of how nice the staff was and the wine was pretty good but the food really was below average. This could and should hardly be considered Italian :( I really need the chef to do a better job. My sister liked the spot and recommended it but I'm not sure why. The garlic bread was so hard and had a weird after taste and my chicken parm and pasta was oddly spicy and chicken didn't have enough flavor. Definitely way more authentic options around. read more

Dined here for dinner since it was nearby my workplace. Walk in was relatively fast, 2 min wait, however the place was extremely rowdy and noisy. Not sure if there was an event going on, but probably due to how small the space was. Customer service was lacking, was never checked up on how we liked our food, and had to hunt down the server. Food took slightly longer to prepare and portion sizes are surprisingly smaller than at other Italian places in the city. They're known for the rigatoni but personally wasn't wowed by it. The calamari was really disappointing, texture and taste, wouldn't get it should've gotten garlic bread over it. Dessert options were a bit lackluster it was a brownie, a sundae, and cannoli, I was hoping for slightly more options for an Italian places, and dessert was mid at best. I didn't have high expectations of the place, but as there are so many Italian spots in the city, it's hard to say this is a standout, it's fine if you're in the area but wouldn't go out of my way to dine here. read more

Literally the best garlic bread I've ever had!!!!!!! I love how it came with a side of fresh mozz to put on top. I still dream about it I've had the rigatoni carbone for takeout and thought it was delicious but dining in the restaurant solidified my feelings for this pasta and how it is EXTREMELY DELICIOUS :) the chicken parm was really good too read more

Ordered: Parm Sangria (~$15): red wine, rum, and orange Meatball Parm Platter (~$25): 3 meatballs served with homemade sauce and mozzarella with spicy rigatoni Carbone (substituted the spicy rotini pasta) Aya's take: Maybe being chaotic and lackluster is part of the Parm "experience" because this is the second Parm location I visit and the vibe is just off. Despite this location being more spacious and not as busy, we waited a while before our server came by to give us water or take our orders. We started with the Parm Sangria which we sadly had to send back. It was watery and didn't taste like the ingredients listed. It was sweet but there was something off-putting about it. The Meatball Parm Platter was solid. One thing about Parm is they will redeem themselves with the food. The meatballs were tender and well-seasoned and the spicy rigatoni Carbone was better than the last time! Their spicy sauce recipe is perfect and I highly recommend substituting the rotini for the rigatoni. Good food but mediocre service & ambiance. read more

I love the chicken parm with spicy rigatoni from Parm! The restaurant is owned by the same owner of Carbone, so you can get the same spicy rigatoni without the long wait! The area is very much an after work spot and has an old school Italian restaurant vibe. Parm can be busy in the lobby area after work hours, but otherwise pretty empty. read more

Parm - PIZZA KNOTS - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

As soon as we walked in it was a bit chaotic - empty chairs everywhere and not tucked under the tables, and the host was not present so we were standing around waiting for a couple mins for a table. No big deal but not the best first impression, it seems to always be chaotic at Parm, even the upper west side location was disorganized. The food is tremendous and worth it, the spicy rigatoni is perfectly cooked and the vodka cause is delectable. That's what keeps me coming back. The meatballs were ok, not as good as Carbone but that's to be expected at a much lower price point. They were a bit dry and not as juicy/flavorful as I would have liked. I'd get the chicken next time. The drinks were not good - I got the Parm Sangria and it tasted very watered down so I complained and the waiter brought me a Moscow mule instead. That was also terrible, it tasted heavy of lime juice and salt and there wasn't even a hint of ginger beer. I did finish it and felt ripped off. How do you mess up such a simple drink?

Got the chicken parm here with the side pasta. The food is pretty standard, and tastes good but nothing too spectacular. There definitely wasn't enough staff or servers during prime happy hour/dinner times as we were waiting quite a while to be attended to, as most of the workers were handling the corporate happy hours in the general bar area. Seems like they only had 1 server, if even, for the seated parties on the other side of the restaurant. Otherwise, it's a pretty standard Italian restaurant, they also have sandwiches and hero's to order as well if you're looking for a dish other than pasta. read more

We were seated quickly for dinner on a Friday night and our server was very friendly but all of our food was pretty mediocre at best. I'd say the calamari was the best of our appetizers. The pizza knots were fine too, the buffalo cucumbers were not that great though. I had the eggplant parm on a hero and it left a lot to be desired. Not very flavorful and didn't taste that fresh either. The spaghetti and meatballs was also just ok. read more

Maybe like three stars. Parm has various locations around the city. They serve Italian American comfort food in a spacious, and fun environment. Enjoy sandwiches, pasta, salads, in a cozy setting. The spaghetti and meatballs were for sure hearty. Portion sizes are larger than average. I was eyeing the Rigatoni Carbone with the pink vodka sauce - next time I 'll try this dish. The Crispy Zucchini was delightful but a tad greasy. The sauces accompanying this appetizer, however, were delicious. I'll definitely try them again. read more

Definitely tasty but portions were small. We came on a Friday night and there were still a ton of seats open. Amongst the three of us, we got 4 entrees and could have still ate more after. We tried the Chicken Parm Platter with side salad, which was solid. We also got the penne scampi, the bolognese, and the rigatoni carbone. The pasta was all perfectly al dente. The rigatoni carbone was definitely my favorite. The sauce was delicious and a solid 10/10. Highly recommend this dish if you were to come here. Everything else was tasty. I would come back here again, but probably would pass on the parm platters next time. read more

I stopped by Parm Battery Park and was pleasantly surprised right from the start. For an appetizer, the buffalo cucumbers were light, crisp, and packed just enough tangy heat to wake up the palate -- a fun twist on a classic flavor. For mains we grabbed the spicy rigatoni carbone, which brought that creamy, velvety heat it's famous for, the toasted turkey hero with a side of fries, which was hearty and perfectly balanced, and the penne scampi that hit all the right garlicky, lemony notes. Everything felt fresh, well-prepared, and satisfying without being overdone. This place is perfect for a relaxed lunch or dinner with really solid food and service. read more

Went here on a bright Saturday evening and the place was deserted, which in New York City suggests either a hidden gem or a known dud. Given that I was at Parm, I figured neither was true and happily ate in a vast and vacated dining room. I felt like Chris Pratt's character in the movie "Passengers"; why am I the only human with conscience, besides a waiter donning a tawdry uniform vest? In hindsight I can only surmise why this Parm location, despite having ten times the space, is far less busy than the Mulberry Street location teeming with diners and deliverymen at every hour. Perhaps it's the sleepy service or the cavernous space that belies Parm's simple menu (in contrast, the claustrophobia of the Mulberry St location suits the simple cuisine and retro brand). Ordered the rotini genovese, which is only on the printed menu of the Woodbury Commons and Boston locations. The staff at Battery Park were nevertheless able to make the dish (it's on the delivery apps; maybe it's an online special?), so I tip my hat to them. The dish was rather ordinary despite the burrata and generous Parm shavings. The (nut-free) pesto has the flat flavor profile of a pesto you might find at the supermarket; has a nice zing that is betrayed by the oil and salt, which makes finishing even a moderately-portioned dish somewhat monotonous. Probably won't come here often, but it's certainly a fine option if you are with a large party. read more

My friends and I didn't want to shell out $$ at Carbone so we went to Parm for their spicy rigatoni. I had to get the chicken parm as well since they're known for it! Both were pretty tasty but very filling. I couldn't finish For appetizers, we got the house garlic bread with mozzarella and calamari. When I tell you the garlic bread with mozzarella was life changing, I mean it. That bite with the fresh mozz and crispy garlic bread made me want to ascend into the heavens. Literally had an out of body experience. The calamari was standard, but I will say that the fried peppers were a nice, unique touch! Overall, it was a fun experience and I had a wonderful time with my friends :) Spicy rigatoni: 8/10 Chicken parm: 8/10 Garlic bread and mozzarella: 100/10 Calamari: 7/10 read more

Parm is an amazing alternative to the coveted Carbone! We got the salad, which was just about on par with Carbone. It was cheesy and their croutons were to die for. We also got the meatballs. When I tell you they were the best meatballs I've had in MY LIFE, I'm not exaggerating. I got the spicy rigatoni which was also amazing. The garlic bread was incredible. The place was very vibey and chill for a Friday night. The wait staff was also helpful and kind. read more

Overall, eh. Creaser salad was good but not enough dressing, meatballs were good but not enough sauce. Their famous pasta, undercooked and under seasoned. Its a cute little place to get drinks and apps but NOT date worthy and not worth the price. Service was nice especially for a very full restaurant. Do not believe everything you see on tik tok about NYC. read more

Usually love parm and the aperol spritz this visit were AMAZING, but that's about it. We had to wait forever to get service (after we were seated) and over 40 minutes for our food. Drink orders also took a little too long to come through. Food was lacklustre. We always get an order of fries and they were rock hard. I decided to try the chicken francese and "go girl give us nothing". I understand it's a simple dish but there is nothing redeeming about it. I genuinely would not recommend it. Will I be back at Parm? Probably. But I genuinely hope my next experience lives up to what I've had before or I might have to let it go... read more

This review is for their happy hour which runs 4-7pm Monday through Friday! Half off beer and wine and even some common cocktails. Some apps are even on there for $6 like mozz sticks and pizza rolls! Service varies based off how busy they are and there's usually two working at once. I've been to other locations and I think this one is more spacious. The audience is mainly corporate given the location. Truly a solid spot for team happy hours, just be mindful it can get super busy during peak business times like end of quarter, year end, and holidays. read more

I've visited a number of Parm locations around the city over the years and what I appreciate most is their consistency. No matter which one you walk into, you can count on the same lineup of Italian-American classics prepared with a kind of comforting reliability. It's right there in the name, so the focus on parm sandwiches and platters isn't surprising, but it never feels tired. My order is almost always the chicken parm platter, which comes with a generous portion of Carbone's famous spicy rigatoni pasta. On days when I'm not as hungry, the chicken parm hero is just as satisfying and a little easier to manage. This particular location, set in the Financial District, is the largest of the Parm restaurants and it often feels more spacious than necessary. On weekends, when the neighborhood tends to empty out, the dining room can be surprisingly quiet. But that calm has its upside...there's never a wait for a table and the staff are attentive. While the energy here might not match the bustle of Parm's uptown or midtown outposts, the food itself is just as reliable. read more

Parm is easier to get into than carbone, so we made a last min reservation. We went for lunch and got Caesar salad, their famous rigatoni, and brownie (teeny brownie bite haha). It was all fine. We split a meatball for the table- which was huge. Nothing was crazy good- average but still yummy read more

Parm is a chain of Italian restaurants owned by Major Food Group (the people behind Carbone, Torrisi etc) but it's essentially the little casual sister. The inside is nicely decorated, and gets a lot of light. They also have an amazing happy hour that lasts all day over the summer and features both drinks and food. I walked in on a weekday and sat at the bar with a friend. We got the Aperol Spritz ($7), Pizza Knots, and Mozz Sticks off their happy hour menu, and the classic Rigatoni Carbone off their regular menu. The Spritz is so tasty and a great deal. I also liked the Pizza Knots, they're basically like savory, garlicky donuts. The Rigatoni Carbone is yummy, with lots of sauce and a good kick from the peppers. Service was just fine. I feel like this place gets a bad rep because people go in expecting it to be at the level of Carbone, despite the steep discount in prices, and they leave unhappy because it's not the same place. If you take it at what it is: a casual, convenient chill spot that has cheap tasty drinks and food (esp at happy hour), you won't be disappointed. read more

I always love parm. I get their bolognese everytime. Need to make a trip back soon. This location had great customer service

I typically eat pretty healthy but if I'm traveling anywhere for work, all that goes out the window. I got the Parm Caesar salad which came heavily doused in dressing and cheese, adorned with these butter-soaked chunks. It wasn't so much a salad as it was cheese and dressing and croutons with a side of romaine. Also tried a bit of my friend's baked ziti (pretty good, a tad dry) and garlic broccoli (cooked to a nice crisp but holy moly, this made my breath reek well into the next day). They also have the Carbone rigatoni here for $18 (while I just looked up the dish on Carbone's menu and it's a whopping $34, jeebus). If the spicy rigatoni is the only reason you want to check out Carbone, come here instead. I had a hard time finding Parm; initially thought it was somewhere inside Brookfield but it's actually separate and on the other side of the block as PJ Clarke's. Same block as Seamore's. Really popular with the after-work crowd. The crazy din right by the bar with all the happy hour-goers was pretty bad, to the point where I couldn't hear my friend all that well. read more

It was the night before the NYC marathon where my sister-in-law gathered her close friends, my husband, myself & a couple cousins/niece&nephew for dinner before her big day. Parm seemed busy, but we noticed there were 1-2 servers on the floor and the same server who brought the food out. They definitely looked short staffed and we didn't mind. We did receive a few items late. My husband got his dish late as well as my nephew didn't get his sprite refill for about 30 minutes or so. I forgot our servers name, but he did the best he could handling big groups & other tables to the best of his ability and I commend him for that. He was a great server, apologized multiple times for the delay. He looked flustered, but he worked through it. My dish was the fusilli bolognese & I enjoyed it 8/10, my husband had the chicken parm dish and it was ok 6/10 the garlic knots were delicious 10/10. I'm giving parm 4 stars because though things came out late, our server did the best he could and being short staffed was very noticeable, that or maybe some employees didn't go in. Unsure though. 4 stars because we were a very large group total of 11 of us & we still had a good time despite food dela read more

Admittedly, when out of town cousins invited us to lunch at Parm, I had some reservations. I mean, the one we visited on Mulberry Street years ago, the OG, disappointed on so many levels. The food had major problems and the service could not be worse. The Brookfield Place experience, however, was a pleasant surprise. Whereas the cramped Mulberry Street restaurant caters mainly to tourists and hipsters, this one can accommodate large gatherings in spacious clean digs. Even the background music is easy on the ears. The little tykes received paper menus and coloring crayons with appropriately proportioned pasta dishes. I ordered a big boy Old Fashioned with nice cherries. It was good. The meatballs appetizer was average. My fusilli bolognese did not cone with much meat in the sauce. A good landmark feature is the short walk to the Hudson Waterfront and an outdoor exhibit on Irish Famine with ruins that were sent here and reconstructed. A pkayground for the kiddies really helped. read more

I got the chicken parm (of course I had to it's in the name) and it came with rotini in spicy sauce. The pasta was at least two serving and it was definitely the best thing on my dish. The chicken parm is fine but didn't really stood out to me, so back to the pasta. It was perfectly cooked Al dente and the flavor was perfectly savory with a hint of heat. For $27 the portion was great and I was very full but I just don't see myself spending $27 on some chicken parm. The service was fast and amazing! They brought out the appetizers quickly. The ambiance is loud considering the place is packed in a somewhat small area. The seating arrangement is a little cramp but manageable. Overall, I'd come back and try the other pasta dishes but the chicken parm was just okay. *BONUS: we also got the "famous" garlic bread and it was fine, I've had better from a grocery store but certainly not to say that this place didn't have good garlic bread, just not the best read more
