All I can is the food sucked! I usually don't give bad reviews but this restaurant was horrible and overpriced. It was a last minute option because the other places near by had 30-45 minute wait and we were cold and hungry. We ordered tea, mozzarella sticks, meatball roll and chicken parm sandwich with Italian fries. The best part of this meal was the $4 tea and $12 mozzarella sticks (and that wasn't really worth the money). The rolls were cold and the fries had too much Parmesan cheese (never heard of Italian frites) barley touched them. Will never return to this place. McDonald's would have been better. read more

Ever gone to a restaurant where you had to wait 40 minutes past your reservation because they were too disorganized and too slow to clean tables? Ever wait at the bar but couldn't get a drink because the only bartender was making drinks for the entire restaurant and kept coming by saying 'I'll be with you in a minute'. So you never got a drink. Ever had 4 different waiters came to take your order. Ever hear about a restaurant with so much hype only to find when the food came, it looked like Chef Boyardee? That's Parm. If I was Italian I'd be embarrassed. The place is a real cluster fxxck. What a sheet show. I give this place 5 SUCKS. Food, atmosphere, service, manager, staff all sucked. What was amusing though was to see Parm sit a group of four several tables from us next to a table that handn't been cleaned off since we got there. AVOID, AVOID. Instead of calling this place 'PARM' they should call it "MERDA". read more

This is just for the calamari I ordered this time DO NOT ORDER!!! This is the saddest calamari I I've ever had the displeasure of eating. I ordered for delivery and for $16 later, in realLy disappointed. TrIed to salvage and bake it a little in the oven because it's SOOOOOOOO SOGGY! Also the portion is terrible Nothing crispy about it. They didn't even put in a slice of lemon to at least help with how bland and unseasoned it was. There are MANY places you can get decent calamari for less. I won't be ordering from here again. read more

Cute interior--old Italian kitchen style. Very good chicken parm, though I've only had the sandwich. Perfect crisp to it, but could go heavier on the cheese. Great happy hour til 7 on weekdays. Never overly crowded. Standard cocktails, not impressed by any. Would stick to wine/beer. Bartender service is usually excellent & attentive. read more

Do NOT come here if Caesar is waiting tables you can't miss him very long Black hair very dirty, and a lot bigger on the sides.

I know that people habe written some bad reviews about the food in this place. I went there recently for dinner with a friend and I have to say that the menu was extremely creative and the food was excellently prepared. In places such as these I find that a number of Italian dishes are prepared with usually too much or oil or the cheese the swimming around or on top of some fat which has been displaced above the main meet as in Parmesan etc. This Is not the case with Parm. The Buffalo cucumber appetizer is not at all what it really sounds like it is excellent the Buffalo mixture on top is not the same that is done on buffalo wings it is Tanguay but not overpowering it fits perfectly with the cucumbers this is a very refreshing appetizer cleans the pallet as well so you're ready for the rest of the food which again is very very good. The meatballs for the appetizer are huge and delicious and the spaghetti sauce is also very good it's a bit sweet which makes it rather unique tasting and that sort of category I am told they use a little sugar into the mixture so that may not be traditional but it happens to be very good. The Smore's cake dessert as well as the ice cream cake with a very unique blend of pistachio strawberry and chocolate ice cream blows away any Carvel masterwork you care to mention. The chocolate sprinkles are also very nice as the addition on top of the ice cream cake. The service is also very good the waiters in the hostesses are very friendly and attentive. I was told that they recently updated their food menu and change the chef which probably would account for why the previous reviews might not have been so good. read more

I live nearby so I ordered Uber eats from here twice now it is by far the best Italian food I have had. I've tried the pasta and meatballs and the eggplant parm sandwich (the one with bun not on a hero) and honestly both were amazing. I was more impressed with the eggplant parm however because we all know how it can really not hit or miss at places but this was amazing. It wasn't soggy the eggplant was cooked perfectly right and there was a perfect amount of sauce and cheese honestly my dogs hate vegetables but they ate bites of this eggplant so that's how good it was will be ordering again read more

I am disappointed with Parm not for the quality of their food, but the quantity. Their 11 dollar roll is the size of a hockey puck and is measly even by the most generous standards. Give us a sandwich that at least leaves us sated enough to not have to buy a Nathan's hot dog outside the place to to avoid feeling hungry after a "meal". An eggplant parm roll no bigger than an 7th graders fist shouldn't be 11 bucks, even in NYC. And this leads me to the rant portion of my review: I'm tired of NYC restaurateurs, (I won't name names, but one of them has a franchise whose name rhymes with Harajuku) who open up offshoot restaurants like Parm that are allegedly for the average NYer, serve inadequate portions for not so affordable prices, then complain about the overhead necessary to run a NYC restaurant but expand their operation to places like Las Vegas. In the face of criticism about low staff wages, these owners often bristle, bring up the exorbitant costs necessary to run their operation, and claim that if they paid their staff more, the consumer would have to shoulder the burden. Maybe save what you spend on expanding your empire to the LV strip and pay your staff adequately and feed the patrons at your current restaurants adequately. read more

Sort of convenient. But keep in mind, this is a high-end diner... so expect the diner look but prices are a bit higher. However, I thought the appetizer selections were great. So I am ok. Also ordered wine. Never usually drink a bottle of wine at a diner haha. So either way however anyone looks at it, this is a comfortable setting for families. I liked the space a lot. Bathrooms were tidy. Overall, I was impressed. Since this is close by to Brookfield, Occulus, etc... I found it even nicer. Food was nice; good portions. Service was fine. Again, I was more into the spacious aspects of this place because I am generally not ok with tight, bar-stooly, lower east side squeezing atmosphere. Many would be fine but I have a lot of things, sorry! read more

We were staying at a hotel nearby and stumbled upon this spot while walking around the park; we stopped by around 12:00PM on a Friday. Walked in and were immediately greeted and seated. The server we had was friendly and seemed excited to have a conversation with folks that wanted to have a conversation back; which was a nice change. We ordered the following: The Ozersky (sandwich with roast beef, mozzarella, and peperoncini) and Linguine Vongole (clams and oregano). The sandwich had a generous serving of meat and a side of seasoned fries that are perfectly seasoned and cooked. The pasta dish was simple and clean - it had a good amount of clams, the oregano was a nice addition/change, the pasta itself had red peppers that gave it a subtle kick (there was no need to customize this dish yourself). Will definitely be coming back the next time we're in the area. read more

Review based on take-out order. Walked in on Saturday afternoon to place a pickup order. I ordered one chicken parm sandwich and asked the lady at the takeout counter what else is a popular dish for me to try out. She said - everything. Thank - that helps lady! We ended just getting 2 chicken parms. They were both excellent. read more

This place pisses me off. Eating there is one thing. Order takeout? It takes an hour. The chicken parm hero arrives cold with almost no sauce. They do that so they premake it and leave it around forever and the bread doesn't get soft. The pasta that costs 9 cents to make but costs $9...cold and mushy. F that. Sitting around likely for a while. No mas. read more

Stopped in for a chicken parm sandwich and a meatball parm sandwich. It wasn't all that great the sauce needs some help. It felt like something was missing. The staff was care free had to wait forever for them to see if we needed anything. Not sure if I'll be back at this place read more

Parm - Meatball Parm Sandwich - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

Quirky spot located on the north west side of the World Financial Center. When we walked in, it felt like a cafe / bistro. The front area has high tables and a bar. There's also a corner area for takeout for the business lunch crowd. We were walked to the back where there were an abundance of booths and standard tables. The decor is bright and whimsical (reminded me of a circus) The wait staff was very attentive and helpful and the food was quite interesting. It's mostly Italian fare, however I saw something that I wanted to try. Our original plan was to have BBQ so when I saw Chinese style ribs, I had to try them and lo and behold, they were a mix of Italian and Chinese. Was very interesting and would recommend them for you more adventurous types. The portion sizes are just right, not too big nor small. The price is a teensy bit on the high side, but for the location, it wasn't too bad. Check it out if you're in the neighborhood. read more

I'm so sad that they took the mozzarella sticks off the menu. There are also less flavors of cake to order from. So disappointed. I've lost all my reason for going now. That being said, the food is still pretty good. I dined in for the first time with a large group of 12. I ordered the Fusilli Bolognese which is pricey at $17, but to came in a pretty large portion. The pasta is extremely heavy and comes with a scoop of ricotta. I had a bite of the Ozersky Sandwich which had an interesting combination of textures with the beef, mozzarella, and pepperoncini. It's not really a sandwich I would order though. The fries that came with it were great. We ordered an entire S'mores cake a day beforehand which they cut for us at the restaurant. It consists of vanilla and chocolate ice cream with a toasted marshmallow on top, graham cracker, and crushed chocolate cookies. Delicious cake. The chicken parm is also great when hot and crispy, but not sure if I will be back though now that the mozzarella sticks are gone. read more

This large space next to Brookfield Place/Hudson Eats amounted to as big a letdown. Their systems were down upon arrival, so the cashier sent me to the bartender, who told me she needed to go speak to the same cashier/manager. This should've tipped me off to leave, but I stuck around for another 12 minutes before being asked what I wanted (no apology or thanks for the wait, let alone an explanation). Ordered a slice of the s'mores ice cream cake (another huge letdown, especially at $13.07), and it took another 17 minutes to arrive (AFTER which I was able to pay, which took 6 minutes). This occurred 02/25 starting around 4:20pm, and I was set free around 5pm, never offered water at any point while I waited at the bar. read more

The fresh mozzarella and garlic bread appetizer was delicious: we drank the mozzarella milk from the bowl. The sandwiches are huge and shareable as are the meal dishes. Service was a little slow: so, if you are pressed for time, factor that in. But, we will DEFINITELY be back for more! So freakin' good! read more

Parm should send Peyton Manning checks for advertising. Sales must've sky-rocketed after his "chicken parm you taste so good" jingle release. I came here on a Friday afternoon, ordered a Chicken Parm hero, and 2 minutes later I collected my sub. Did I inadvertently steal someone else's sandwich or has the pre-made sandwich been sitting around? Judging by the lukewarm temperature, I am leaning towards the latter. While the sesame seeded bread held up well, the half-melted mozzarella cheese was unevenly dispersed throughout. The chicken cutlet was on the drier side and had a rubbery texture. Would my opinion change if this had been fresh? Probably, but I most likely will not be back to test this theory. read more

Parm - Chicken Parm you could taste better - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

I walked into this casual establishment without a reservation and the hostess up front was friendly and accommodating. They overestimated the wait so I hung out around the area until they texted me about my table. It was a short 15 minute wait, yay! I have really high expectations for Italian cuisine because I love it so much. I was excited to try their food but it didn't live up to my expectations. Their menu didn't leave me with a lot of options but I kind of like that, it means they specialize on the selected items on their menu so you can't really go wrong with what you order. I was wrong though. The light battered Calamari was served with long hot peppers that tasted just like Shishito peppers. The baked clams was a total miss. The Linguine with clams was off, not sure what it was, maybe the spring onion? I typically do not get spring onion on my linguine with clam. The fusilli was bland, I couldn't bare to eat more than a couple of pieces. There was nothing really interesting to say about it. The Chicken Parm sandwich was quite difficult to tackle. i don't like bread, but i had hopes that maybe this sandwich would be the best choice but nope. I saved room for dessert and ordered the classic ice cream cake slice and for a whooping $12 for a thin slice that tasted so ordinary, I much rather buy some better quality ice-cream elsewhere. The server was not attentive and he didn't make my first experience pleasant. Not a single smile was evident during the whole time. He was too casual and laid back as if he's just there to pass the day. Other employees were more willing to assist my requests. read more

Review for lunch take out ---which btw took over 30 minutes. Higher rating if not for the poor service, but don't get me wrong they employ plenty of workers. It's not the lack of employee count, it was the opposite. We saw at least 7 in the open kitchen, 5 roaming around the restaurant. 6 chatting it up and gossiping about the latest Game of Thrones episode. In my view, they are either not probably trained or management doesn't care because they are making enough to survive on the backend. Now for the food, we ordered the chicken parm and chicken caprese. My colleague asked for balsamic vinegar and oil and no tomatoes on his sandwich. Simple request right? Nooooo, the response was we only have a vinaigrette! What Italian restuarant doesnt carry balsamic! Two staple sandwiches and the entire experience took over 30 minutes to get our orders. Now for the cherry on top, did they take off the tomatoes from the caprese?!?.........Of course not! Also who puts butter on the bread of the sandwiches?!? PARM does! sacrilegious right read more

This could be the biggest BS job by food critics ever. You would think Jesus himself would resurrect ti eat at this Torrisi restaurant by the heavenly hyped reviews.

Olive Garden gives this place a run for the money Vibe- italian tourist trap in Chicago Greeting- yes Service- good Wine list- expensive and in flux Price- high Bathroom- Fail Parking- garage only Food -Fried calamari portion is so small and has mainly tentacles. A total rip off and not tasty -baked ziti is also a tiny portion with a hard burned cheese topping that is the only thing that gives this ziti life - eggplant parm is a deep fried disaster - chicken parm has small medallions of thick chicken circles that look as unappetizing as it tastes - pastas come out of a box - meatballs were the best thing - ribs were good Chinese food better than Italian food here Fresh mootz was ok Sunday salad was good Buffalo cukes not for me Garlic bread had no taste Desserts Ice cream cakes only they are very good.

Went with a group of 8 and everyone enjoyed their meal. I had the chicken parm and it was delicious.

Wanted ketchup instead of mayo and they gave me mayo. Afterwards when I called, they did not apologize and basically said "oh, I see." 1. Couldn't read my order 2. Didn't care when they messed up :( Mayo with fries is also not a good combination. read more

I went here with my mom the food was just ok. We ordered mozzarella sticks for an appetizer. On a scale from 1 to 10 I will give the mozzarella sticks a 6. We both ordered the shrimp scampi. The shrimp scampi was awful. It tasted liked Ramen Noodles with shrimp added and it was very salty. I sent my Ramen Noodles back and I did not get anything to replace it. I had a great time with my mom, but I feel like going to this restaurant was a complete waste of time. The food was awful and the server seemed like he had an attitude. Will I go back?? Never Again! read more

Very welcoming, Jayla was super helpful and seemed happy to help! Great food and atmosphere give this place a try!

Tried this brand new location in the ever increasing food mecca of Battery Park City yesterday. It was actually the first time I have tried Parm before and have heard raves. The space is quite spacious and the decor is pleasing, they played a nice mix of 70s and 80s rock (heard Billy Joel twice!) and thats my kind of music. The Hostess was very cool and inquired about my Midtown Comics bag and how she had to stock up (my kinda girl!). The serer brought my friend and I 2 complimentary Mozzerella sticks. Not a big fan of them in general but they were ok. I wouldnt order them but if unlike me you are a fan you would probably like theirs. For an app I ordered Baked Clams and here is where we had a bit of trouble, my friend who was facing the kitchen exit saw one of the clams slide off my plate onto the floor, now thankfully they didnt put it back on the plate but just brought the dish to me as is minus the clam. So basically I go gypped a clam! At 11 bucks I want every damn clam I can get, they were actually pretty small and the ones I had last week at Harrys were better. I didnt feel like making a deal over a clam but the fact they kept it from me def cost them a star and a few bucks deducted from our servers tip. I then got the Chicken Parm sandwich on a roll because my rule is the first time in always try what the place is known for. The chicken meat was substantial, very tender and juicy breaded chicken breast, the cheese was decent and the seeded roll was really good. However I didnt care at all for the sauce which was just way too sweet for me. I guess the special here is that Ozersky sandwich but not a roast beef or Mozz fan so I will skip that one when I make a return. read more

Don't be fooled by the crowd at the front door, there is plenty of space in the back. Call ahead and make a reservation if you're coming for the lunch rush & want to sit down. Not the place to bring your vegan friends, there is cheese on everything!! I knew my group would order tons of starters, so I decided to be healthy and get the salad with shrimp. There homemade salad dressing was on point and all the starters had me begging to order something unhealthy. I'm glad I stuck with my guns and had a semi-healthy salad; the calamari, zucchini sticks, and bread we had to start was more than I should have eaten! read more

I don't know why I haven't come in here sooner. The pasta is great, and those ice cream cakes!? Whenever I walked by, I thought his place was tiny. Little did I know that there is so much more to this place in the back - they've got a lot of booths and square tables in addition to the bar seating in the front. I thoroughly enjoyed the meal. I loved the dollop of ricotta on top and I definitely recommend the baked ziti WITH the meat gravy. One of the main reasons I came here was for a slice of one of those ice cream cakes that I've been seeing everywhere. We went for a smores ice cream cake, and I was just a little disappointed by it. Don't get me wrong, the ice cream was good and there was a lot of it it. I even liked the icing on top. It kinda just tasted like ice cream cake - I didn't get much of the smores taste to it. There were some graham cracker crumbs on the bottom, and it was topped with a smore. I guess I was just expecting more with this. The smore on top didn't even have melted chocolate and the marshmallow wasn't as soft and gooey as I would've liked it to be. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this place. Walking in it doesn't seem like much; pretty casual set up for take out/quick service with table service in the back. The oil for the bread basket was divine. Our waitress poured out the garlic olive oil, sprinkled some parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes and before we knew it we were already a second basket in! What we ordered: - Sunday salad - it was okay. A bit heavy on the Italian dressing so consider asking for the dressing on the side. - Rigatoni Fra Diavola - amazing! rigatoni was cooked perfectly al dente, and just the right amount of spice for that extra kick. I actually liked it better than Carbone's pasta (they are actually sister restaurants!) - Chicken Parm platter - my husband loved his dish. Said it was one of the best he's had. - Tiramisu ice cream cake - amazing! This is a must get while you're here. Nothing like it anywhere else in the city. We were actually catching a movie nearby and packed this up to go to eat during the movie. Will definitely be back... at least to try next month's flavor of ice cream cake! read more

My expectations were low based on Yelpers comments but we had such a great time. The decor is diner cum pizzeria and is in no way posh. But what it lacks in fluff it makes up in spaciousness. We were a table of 6 at 8p on a Saturday night. We had a huge booth. It's amazing to go someplace where you can stretch out comfortably and hear everyone at your table. The tables are spaced far apart. So again despite a number of groups of diners we didn't feel like we were on top of each other. Fried zucchini - the zucchini strips were just okay. Comes with marinara and a creamy spicy sauce were the best part. Garlic bread with fresh mozzarella was divine. The garlic bread was crunchy, chewy with a nice char and a fresh garlic flavor without being bitter. Clams casino - not worth it. Just little tiny clams filled with bread crumbs. Meh. Meatballs were soft, tender drenched in a light marinara and a little melted mozzarella on top. Cesar salad is made with a fresh rich Cesar dressing. The croutons were inedible rocks but the rest was on point. Arugula salad with goat cheese and figs was heavy for a salad. So if you like a salad that is more substantial this is a good option. Chicken Parm with fusilli was classic. Hefty portion of flattened, breaded, fried cutlet slathered in marinara sauce and cheese. The fusilli had a vodka sauce and was a touch spicy. Eggplant Parm was assembled to look like lasagna layers. Everyone loved it. I like more sauce and textures than this one offered. The osteroski hero super tender, paper thin slices of roast beef, fresh mozzarella, Italian peppers, fresh tomatoes was my absolute favorite. Worth the $21 price tag. Martinis were $14 We had a couple of bottles of wine. Skipped dessert because we were headed to Karaoke joint nearby. Parm is not life altering cuisine. If you are in the mood for a meal and ambiance that feels like you drove out to the burbs - because you have space, can hear other people, wear jeans and sneakers and have some really good simple Checkered table cloth style Italian classics Parm is your spot. read more
