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

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

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

Absolutely love the new location, our server was a bit slow but our food didn't take too long to come out. Of course it was amazing as Parm never seems to disappoint. read more

Parm - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

I have had Parm a few times catered at work. The sandwiches are fantastic. The chicken cutlets are perfect I wish they had them only not just on the sandwiches. The salads I have had were classic Caesar and the faro salad. Both delicious ! The Caesar salad has homemade garlic bread croutons which are amazing. The pasta I've had is spicy rigatoni. It is hot but it is delicious ! I thought the pasta the second time I had it was a little too soft but the sauce was perfect. So much heat and so much flavor. Last but not least, Parm makes the most perfect ice cream cakes. The Smores ice cream cake is a layer of chocolate gelato, a layer of marshmallow gelato & last but not least a layer of graham cracker gelato, with tiny graham cracker crumbs. I could eat a piece of this cake everyday if I had the chance. We will be returning customers for sure. Thank you Parm ! read more

Parm - S'mores ice cream cake - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

For my last day of my year-long project in NYC, my 4 co-workers and I decided to come to Parm and order a ton of sandwiches and just be total fat kids. We had a good time, ate good food, and were so full!!!! FYI -I'm not a huge Italian food eater, and don't really love chicken parm or most red sauce things...so I'm definitely biased. We ordered...well everything, but specifically: - Italian fries- GET IN MY BELLY. love. nom. - 2 eggplant parms - literally eggplant lasagna on a roll...lots of peoples faves (I thought it was tasty, but it was only luke warm and that turned me off a little) - chicken parm - pretty tasty, not my favorite - meatball parm - people also loved this one, meh for me - turkey - classic turkey sub - well executed, nothing super exciting - italian combo - another classic, delicious and filled to the brim with meat and toppings - ozersky (roast beef/mozz/pepperoni) - sooo good! definitely my favorite...super rare roast beef and so yummy w the pepperoni (some people i was with didnt like this because of the rareness of the beef, but it was right up my alley) So overall - 7 gigantic sandwiches for 5 people was aggressive. we ate it all... don't regret anything. Would def be back for a super filling lunch, or order a takeout sandwich to go for dinner!! read more

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

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

I am not entirely sure why this place doesn't have better reviews. When I think of my meal I don't think I could have chosen any better. Why? Because I stuck to the items on the menu that were boxed. Still confused? Ask the waiter. On suggestion from a woman dressed appropriately as a waiter but more aptly described as someone who knows their sh*t I will empart this knowledge on you all... my dear yelp friends. This is what you order; Caesar salad Fresh moz Shrimp pasta Chicken parm with side pasta There is a reason these have been boxed on the menu and are the favorites. This will set you back around $70 total for dinner so pretty average for nyc. On that basis, I recommend you visit. The atmosphere here is classy diner and who doesn't like a few token 70's classics to accompany a hearty feed! read more

This place lacks the craftsmanship to assemble the sandwich together. The eggplant parm was over bloated with eggplant, with at least one extra set of eggplant portion added to sandwich (by mistake, I think) It's an expensive place for regular lunch, which I don't mind if the food quality justifies it. The server at the take-out counter was not very friendly and considering this is a new location it was not full enough, which further justifies my 2-star rating. read more

Parm - $17 (with tax) over stuffed eggplant parm - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

I have actually never been to Parm, so this is only a review about the food. I've ordered a few times to my office when working late, and it is a great power food. Everything is delicious. If I had to recommend one item, it'd be the Rigatoni Fra Diavola. It's slightly spicy, but the sauce is incredible! If you are ever looking to order in Italian and are in their delivery radius, I highly recommend. You won't be disappointed. read more

Slow as F. I ordered a mealpal and they are ridiculously slow. It's not a way to get meals faster, it's actually on the back burner of everything they do. Their foh and boh stuff are mad slow. It's outrageous to be this slow during the lunch rush. Update: they forgot the tickets. They need a new expediter and new cooks. Slow slow slow. This is no way to run a restaurant. read more

Still bomb! This time I had the arugula salad. It had almonds, figs and parmesan cheese. BOMB. I also had the calamari again. BOMB. That is all. read more

Sat at bar for fast service. Pasta bolognese was very dry and had no meat. Bartender nonplussed offers us a bowl of meat sauce -- arrived 10 minutes later Luke warm and was more a heavy cream veal vodka sauce. My eggplant Parm sandwich was very dry. We're not going back read more

Parm - Eggplant Parm sandwich dry not spectacular--don't go here ..,, - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

I've only been here on the weekends, and it's absolutely dead. I imagine this is more of a workday lunch spot. It's in a good location if you're looking for a place to eat before/after a movie, as the theater is directly across the street. Either way, the service was solid and so was the food. The prices are high, but this is the norm for the neighborhood. The Ozersky is legit, as is the arugula salad. read more

I came on a Friday after work. The place was pretty empty and we got seated immediately. We ordered the mozzarella sticks, and which were standard mozzarella sticks with nothing special about them. I got the parm hero with the Italian fries. Good sandwich, but probably not worth $15.the Italian fries were actually really crispy and better than expected. My husband got the chicken parm dish with the spicy pasta. He really enjoyed it. The spicy pasta that comes with it is good, although slightly on the bland in my opinion. Overall, food is pretty good although overpriced for the quality. read more

What a bad experience... first when I got there with a reservation they made me wait 15 minutes to get seated Bc they were focused on seating a 15 person group in front of us. Then, it took 20 minutes to get our water after we were seated after asking and in total 40 minutes for us to get our appetizers we ordered and entree to come right after with no time in between. Very frustrating as the food is always consistent but I think quality is going down. TL:DR Maybe best if you want parm just order on seamless to not deal with bad service. read more

Food was delicious. Staff was very friendly and service was quick. Would go back if in the are again. They were also able to accommodate our group of 10. read more

Obsessed. Stumbled in here after happy hour with coworkers since Blue Smoke had a crazy hour-long wait and I've always wanted to try this place. Definitely will be back. The waiter Bautiste was extremely knowledgable about the menu and guided us to make some great app and entree choices, and the food was just good hearty Italian food. I got the chicken parm dinner and swapped in the rigatoni instead of the spicy rotini. Fantastic! My co-workers got the fusilli with ricotta and the chicken limone. I'd happily reorder both of those too! But really, I was here for the ice cream cake, and it was the bomb. Will be back to try the eggplant parm, which I had my eye on as well! read more

Every time I come to this sector on business, I eat at Parm. I realize this restaurant is probably mediocre by New York standards but speaking as someone who comes from the Pan-galactic cesspool completely devoid food culture known as Deeeeeennnnnvvvvvuuuuuuurrrrrrr anything that rates better than Maggiano's is literally the stuff of Gods. So go ahead and loathe me and my 4 star review... Your hatred only makes us aliens stronger! read more

This location was not as crazy as I thought it would be and I did not have to wait long despite all the Suits walking around on the prowl for lunch. Penne Scampi- This dish was so good! I had a bite before I tried my actual food and that was a mistake because even while eating my food all I could think about was this dish. Fusilli Bolognese-Not bad but NOT as good as the Penne Scampi. It's a good red sauce dish with a slight kick to it. Garlic bread- was super hard Mozz sticks/Meatball- We okay, nothing memorable Overall, I enjoyed my meal, the atmosphere and the service which was excellent. I hoping to try one of the sandwiches on my next visit and maybe even get my own Penne Scampi! read more

This place was the best! It's nice and quiet with lots of seating and the food is good. The spicy parm is amazing! The kids liked their chicken/fries, my husband likes his meatball sandwich. I wish they'd had cider, but the wine was good, too! Mostly though, they were SO friendly. My little one had a toy snake and made it hiss at the staff as we were leaving and EVERYONE made a huge deal out of reacting to it for him. I'm pretty sure it was the best day of his life Thanks, Parm! read more

Run by same owner/Chef as Carbone. I've been to both and the vodka rigatoni at Parm is pretty much the same, for a lot less and you can walk in without worrying about a reservation. Is the pasta at Carbone better? Yes. Is it worth paying double? No. The pasta here very close to Carbone. read more

Great food! We had a party of 30. Brian the manager runs a tight ship. Everything arrived on schedule. Staff is phenomenal. Whether a party of 2 or 30, service is quick and courteous. I strongly recommend visiting Parm, if you're in the area. read more

Came here for a work lunch with high expectations. The yelp pictures lead me to believe the food would be great. Apps: mozzarella sticks were ok, zucchini fries, terrible. I feel like they forgot the zucchini and fried some dough. Turkey sandwich, the meat was very thick-cut with a strange pink hue. I could not stomach it. Staff was friendly but extremely slow. Overall, could a lot better -not a return visit.. read more

Stop your life; go to Parm. (or order through Caviar) This place is from the creators of Carbone, so I had pretty high expectations Peeking at other reviews, seems that making the right menu choices are a factor. Well, guess I am a good chooser. Came at lunch, little slow on service as is to be expected, but still very friendly and accommodating. Garlic Bread - unique take on it with sesame bread, but top three I've ever had. Garlic Broc - chopped finely and with added arugula - would order again Baked Ziti - late on arrival but oh so delicious. Rigatoni - the star, the dream. Basically same dish at half the price of what you'll pay at Carbone. Why are you still here? Go now! read more

Excuse me while I salivate. Oh, Parm. You are so delicious but always overcrowded and overpriced. I had to check out this joint after Aziz Ansari's shout out in Master of None. The classic chicken Parm sandwich lives up to the hype. I have only stopped in on Friday afternoons for lunch and typically the wait is 30 minutes just to get your sandwich. The sandwich is $15 and you can wait in the typical line or ~Pro Tip: Order to-go at the bar.~ The chicken cutlet is juicy, the sauce is fresh, the cheese is perfection, and the sesame bread bun is the best part. You will be full and happy. read more

It was very good but overhyped. I was expecting to be blown away by the service and atmosphere and overall food product. Don't get me wrong, the Chicken Parm was above average but over priced. Also, the calamari was pretty beat. The Manhattan cocktail was spot on. Server was friendly but was too concerned on upselling a dessert. It's 4 stars because the Parm was perfectly crisped but the eggplant wasn't a big portion as noted. Torn on this but 4 stars worthy by a hair read more

I would give 3.5 stars if I could. I came here on a Friday night and although it was pretty crowded, the hostess was able to seat us in 5 minutes. The restaurant is very spacious, probably 4x times bigger than the original Parm. We started with the calamari, which was a bit disappointing. For $15, it was a pretty small portion and the calamari pieces were thin and oily. However, for the main dish I had the famous chicken parm and was not disappointed. The chicken was juicy and crispy. The pasta side that came with it was a nice compliment with the Chicken, but nothing worth raving over. If you're down by the freedom tower and want some solid Italian, this is a good spot. read more

On a statue of liberty afternoon and came across this hidden gem. The server (Jason) was top notch and has a great understanding of his craft. The hot margaritas is not for the faint of heart. My wife loved the rose. FOOD: I don't know what else to say by perfect. From the calamari to the salad to the Italian sandwich, everything balance and was delicious (especially if you love good bread!). Highly recommended. read more

My husband works in the area, and always raves about this place. He took me here yesterday, and I was expecting to have the same experience he had. We were seated promptly, given the menus- I was very underwhelmed. At an Italian place I was hoping they would've had that floppy, thin crust, fall off the pan cheese pizza. They didn't have any of that. For an appetizer I ordered the buffalo cucumbers. Maybe I should learn not to expect anything when going into these places, or anywhere to eat. The cucumbers were just pickles in buffalo sauce, and bleu cheese. When I thought oh they'd be fried, I was expecting fried cucumbers. Noope not the case. and not worth 10 dollars, I could've made this at home. I had the Greek farro salad, it was good. But for the price they could've thrown in some greens, and large pieces of chicken. My husband had a small plate of baked ziti, when you go to an Italian place you usually get a big serving. The ziti was also burnt. Other complaints: They do not have a children's menu. Save your coins, and look for a good pizza place on the lower east side, you'll find one. read more

Ohhh jeez what happened? I used to love this place when it first opened, the food and service has gone downhill. So I called at 4:14pm on a Friday afternoon and ordered some fusilli bolognese for pickup. I should have took it as a sign when I had to call 4 times before someone picked up the phone that it wasn't going to be a good experience. But thanks to carb cravings, I ordered anyway and was told it will be ready in 15 minutes. When I arrived at 4:30pm, the place was empty. No staff anywhere to be found at the counter or bar, turns out there are two bartenders that are serving the bar and the patrons dining. When I managed to get one of their attention I told them I was here for a pick-up and turns out it wasn't ready yet. So I waited a few minutes, and asked again. I was told it's ready, but they are just putting it together. Waited a few more minutes, managed to grab the other bartenders attention to charge my card so when the food is ready I can leave. Waited a few more minutes, and realized that nobody is checking on my order so I asked to speak with a manager. Turns out the manager was sitting down in the dining area with her colleagues, unaware or do not care that everyone was either waiting for their food and drinks because they have two bartenders serving the entire front portion of the restaurant. There were two people that had to get out of their seats at the bar to get the bartenders attention to get another round of drinks. But unfortunately the bartenders can't even serve them until they serve the equally as frustrated dining patrons first. That is such poor management. The manager wanted to give me a few dollars off my order - I wanted to leave the restaurant as fast as possible so I can move on with life. Keep the few dollars, I just want food in a timely fashion with service. Turns out the order wasn't "almost ready" they were still cooking the pasta. So I waited some more.... If I had time to waste, I would have Shake Shack and not bother placing a pickup order. When I finally got the food, it turns out to be awful. Do they know how to make bolognese sauce anymore? It might as well have been marinara sauce because the meat was so finely grounded and in such small quantities - you need a microscope to see it. Both the food and the service left me very disappointed and spent $18 for something that I had two bites and threw out. Will not return. read more

Parm - The saddest excuse for bolognese. Can you see any meat? - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

Waited over an hour for delivery. Was repeatedly told food was out for delivery, but never delivered. Will not be ordering again.

The eggplant parm dinner was delicious! Just what we needed after a day of walking around the city. I would have rated it higher, but the waitstaff didn't seem to know what they had stocked in the bar. So when we asked for a hot coffee cocktail there was confusion. Absolutely check out the bathrooms! read more

One of the worst experiences I've ever had at a restaurant. Perhaps the virtually empty dining room should have been a clue. We checked in on our order after waiting 40 minutes for food. They apologized and brought over mozz sticks. Then no further communication until we asked again 20 mins later. Finally over an hour after we ordered, the food arrived - it was cold. It was so disappointing bc typically we love the food there. The chef made us two new sandwiches to take home and we were told that they would comp our meal. no one from the restaurant came over again and there was not a staff member in sight when we left. Also, my fiancé lost 2 quarters in the arcade game. read more

There really isn't any real reason to dine here if you are in this area. This isn't Italian food. Parm is to Italy what McDonald's is to the US. It's fast food, and with so many other options for Italian food around, it's foolish to spend a pretty penny on fake lasagna made with Prego sauce. I was dragged here once and my friend ordered the "lasagna" and I ordered a grilled chicken salad. The chicken reminded me of the frozen chicken they serve at places like Applebee's or Friday's. I am giving them 2 stars - 1 star because the waitress was very nice and another star because its a restaurant that serves food. It's as simple as that. read more

Really cool atmosphere. My family and I ate here for dinner and had a wonderful time food was great we each got something different. I had the Ozersky sandwich which was roast beef with fresh mozzarella and peppers on garlic bread it came with Italian fries which are shoestring fries with parmesan cheese and some seasonings they were excellent so good. Someone else at the table got the eggplant Parmesan which was outstanding one of the best I have ever tasted. For dessert we had he smore's and classic ice cream cakes which both were amazing my favorite part was the strawberry ice cream in the classic one so tasty!! I would definitely recommend this place and I would 100% go back read more

Parm - Smore's and classic ice cream cake !! - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

TLDR: good pastas and sandwiches for a quick bite; would recommend catering their sandwiches for a large group lunch Have dined in, ordered delivery, and gotten takeout from this place multiple times given that it's so close to my office. Would describe the food as fast casual italian and have tried the meatballs, rigatoni fra diavola (a bit spicy), penne scampi (rich and creamy), fusilli bolognese (served with a generous amount of ricotta cheese), chicken parm sandwich, and chicken caprese sandwich. Portion sizes are pretty large for the pasta dishes, the food is always served hot, and the dishes that I've tried have been good, but not incredibly unique or memorable. My office has catered the sandwich platters for lunch occasionally, and I think they're a great alternative to the traditional ham and turkey options offered by other fast casual places. Overall, I usually order takeout or dine in at Parm because it's convenient and tastes pretty good, but wouldn't choose it for a night out with friends. read more

3.25/5. Came in to the parm at Brookfield Place on a Sunday night with a party of 6 at 730pm. It was freakishly empty for a big spot, but again it was a Sunday evening in the weekend ghost town of tribeca and battery park. Probably 10 other heads (excluding waitresses) in the whole place tho...kinda weird but whatever. We immediately sat once our whole party arrived in a spacious booth. We were fairly quick to decide on our order - 2 bottles of Cabernet Sauvignon, calamari, and 6 entrees of the chicken parm plate served with spicy rigatoni on the side. Wine came out first (obv) and it was good. Nothing complex but a casual and drinkable glass of vino. No complaints, aside from the waitress who had a heavy hand for half the party and a lighter one for the rest. I didn't get out my glasses and measure the meniscus line BUT 3 glasses were WAY more full than the others. It was probably around 25ish min from when we ordered for the chicken parm entrees to appear. But hold up...where was the calamari? We asked the bus boy to cancel the order and then the waitress came back a few minutes later asking why we cancelled/somewhat apologizing. We clearly ordered it as an appetizer but they forgot to bring it so she had to take it off the order. I mean why would anyone eat calamari alongside chicken parm...pure madness. The chicken parm and spicy rigatoni hit he spot. Average Italian, nothing spectacular but nothing truly wrong with it. It was a really generous portion too. Spicy rigatoni had a punch of flavor and was actually spicy. Unlike carbone's spicy rigatoni which has negative heat. The sliced onions in the spicy rigatoni sauce were a mystery to me. They weren't soft enough and they were random sizes. Some diced and some long. Service wasn't great between the calamari not being brought out as an app, the awkward waitress, and the fact that they started taking plates away while others were still eating. Decent Italian and convenient if you need a quick meal while near Brookfield Place but nothing to write home about. Might order it for takeout/pick up in a pinch but probably wouldn't dine here again. read more
