Best Sandwich of my life! Do yourself a favor and buy yourself a eggplant parm hero. I ate every single bit of this perfectly flavored meal! I told myself I would only eat half but that was a big fat lie! I ate it all sitting there! My only regret is not ordering the fries they have there. My BFF got them and I had to steal so many from her. I hope she forgives me! YUM!!!!!!!!! read more

Prefacing this review with the fact that it is HEAVILY dependent on location. I was so excited for a nice Italian meal with my girlfriends, it's so lovely to be in the company of those who bring you joy! The ambiance is interesting upon first walking in, an Italian diner is not something I'm used to, but definitely something I could enjoy! As my friends and I sat down and got settled, we couldn't help but notice we were surrounded by.....infants.....and parents with their infants. Soon came the screams of young children and shortly after one of the youngsters was pulling at my hair from the booth behind us! Nevertheless, my single and childless friends and I enjoyed a nice bottle of red wine with our Italian food. Food was delicious, we ate everything on our plate! Chicken parm was good but I did expect more as it IS the inspiration behind their restaurant? The so called spicy pasta that comes with one of the dishes simply has no hint of spice, and my palette is definitely sensitive to some heat. Any who, maybe come here if you are thinking of having a child and want to know what it's like to bring them to an Italian diner? read more

Parm - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

See all

Parm is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. Battery Park City is finally getting a handful of decent restaurants in the past few years. With that being said, despite this being Parm's third location, there are still a lot of kinks to work out. However, most of them I expect to be resolved as the staff puts more hours in. The host staff seems disorganized at times, and they never seem to pick up the phone. The wait staff seems moderately aware of the menu, but simple requests do seem to confound them, at least momentarily. The runners are still getting a hand of what table is what and are misdropping food of different table. And the kitchen is sending out some food wrong. With all that being said, then food itself is delicious. I recommend the mozzarella sticks, which a a few cuts above the standard frozen stick you get on so many bar menus. Also, a BPC-only option is the Ozersky, which might be the best sandwich on their menu. Roast beef, fresh mozzarella, banana peppers and mayo. I'll be back, I'll give it a few weeks for the staff to get better, but I'll be back. And then hopfully I'll bump this up to 4 stars. read more

Oh Parm. How I so wanted to love you, mostly because you are the second closest restaurant in proximity to me, in a land of few choices. But alas. Wednesday night was when I finally realized you were never going to be what I wanted you to be. My eggplant PARM was horrible. Eggplant fried and burnt beyond recognition. I should have sent it back but you know when you just don't have the energy? My energy was consumed asking the aloof waiter for some bread, and whining to no one in particular about the tiny pour of wine. (Sangiovese was like grape juice rather than a serious wine.). My dining companion found his pasta mediocre at best. Sigh, again. I will give a shout out to their very simple pasta with chilies. It's a spicy, but satisfying. read more

How cute- this place is like diner meets deli with a little class. The server is hostess is friendly but we were a little confused as to why we had to wait to be seated when there were so many open spaces. Started with the famous mozzarella sticks and they were delicious. I ordered the Ozersky and it did not disappoint. The mozzarella was so fresh and the roast beef was piled on. There's also a huge pile of seasoned fries on the side. I wish I could've eaten more, but the sandwich was so big I could only finish half of it. My friend got the chicken parm and he thought it was good, but nothing amazing. Wish we had room for the ice cream cake, but maybe next time! read more

The food is this restaurant's saving grace. Came in on a Sunday afternoon for a late lunch with my boyfriend. We've been to the Parm in Soho before, so we were familiar with the choices and options here. We walk in and were greeted by the owner/manager? of the place who told us that his hostess would seat us. Sure no problem. A few seconds later a very lackadaisical young lady walks over to us, grabs two menus, and if it weren't for the fact that she held the menus, we followed her to our table. No hello, how are you, no acknowledgement whatsoever. It seemed as if she didn't even want to be there (and frankly speaking after my dining experience there, I can't blame her). The restaurant at this point is fairly empty with about three or four families there also eating. I counted about 4 to 5 waiters working there at the time. So we sit at our table and about five minutes later, a server approaches and fills our glasses with water and asks if we have any questions about the menu. He seemed pretty friendly and we asked for more time to go over the menu. A few minutes later he comes back and we place our order. 10 minutes later, we're still waiting for our food, which we're totally okay with, no big deal, it takes time to cook. About 5 minutes later, we see our server come out of the kitchen with what we think was our food. Nope, he plops down in a booth and decides to take his lunch break, leaving my boyfriend and I wondering what's going on with our order. Another 5 minutes pass and we hear the manager ask another waiter who's taking care of us. She seems pretty flustered but she comes over and introduces herself and says she's taking over. Okay cool. Our food comes shortly after and my boyfriend and I dig in. We finish our meal, but no one bothered to come check on us if we needed anything or had any other requests. No big deal, we were fine with just our food anyways. After we finish, we sat there for about 20 minutes waiting for our waiter (or any waiter for the matter) to approach us so that we could get the check. Nobody comes. We continued to try to flag down a waiter for another 5 minutes, before we managed to get the attention of another waiter who was able to relay our request to our second waiter. At that point, when she gave us the check, I immediately handed her my card without looking at the bill, because I didn't know how much longer it would have taken to get the attention of another waiter. My boyfriend ordered the chicken parm platter (his go to and probably his favorite dish) and enjoyed it. I didn't try it, but he said it was a little spicy. I ordered the fusilli and it was pretty good as well. Pasta was well cooked and there was ample bolognese sauce. We shared the Italian fries and the sauce that comes accompanying it was very tasty and had a little kick. Next time, I'd probably stick to ordering take out or delivery from this place. I don't remember having the same experience at their Mulberry location, but that location is much smaller than their Battery Park location. read more

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING!!! Just order a side salad for $6 to take out. No big deal. It was an additional $6 to add grilled chicken. Also, no big deal. The amount of chicken they provided was less than half of a tender. Just spent $12 on an iceberg salad with half a chicken tender. Never again. I would recommend dining elsewhere. read more

Parm - NEVER AGAIN!!! - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

If I were rating Parm solely on the food it would probably get 4.5 stars. We ordered the eggplant parm, baked ziti, chicken parm, and s'mores ice cream cake and they were all INCREDIBLE. Eggplant parm was the best I've ever had and that might apply to the chicken parm as well. However, the food is slightly overpriced. $25 for the chicken parm dinner and $12 for one slice of cake. The service was pretty friendly but you could definitely tell that parm is more of a lunch sport because it was virtually empty when we went at 5:30 pm. If I could give 3.5 stars I would, definitely check it out if you have the cash. read more

Parm - I got served burned chicken parm and for 11$. - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

I have a gripe to pick with this place so my review will not be a fair one...just a heads up. Let's get the pleasantries out of the way so it does not come off as a biased review. The food here is really good. I love their chicken parm, their penne is good as well, and the staff is super friendly. The decor is really cute as well and I like that they stay open late in an area where most places close pretty early. However, it's super annoying that the place is cash only. Now I have nothing against restaurant-specific policies, but places like this just makes me cringe cause that requirement is very anti-consumer and this trend is becoming all too apparent in New York. Why have a place not accept something that is literally described as "legal tender for all debts public and private"? It should be illegal to have these policies and it is borderline discriminatory, honestly. I won't be going there again. read more

Literally...meh. This was a really underwhelming dining experience. Looked for a quick place to grab some lunch after a movie. The Mozz sticks were awful and cold. What good is mozz sticks without stretchy cheesy goodness? The calamari was soggy with breading falling off. The chicken parmesan was just OK. The sauce was too acidic and lacked flavor otherwise. Only highlight of the meal was the S'mores ice cream cake. Maybe rethink this place for feed but come for the dessert. read more

Parm is a good option for a quick, hearty meal. I've dined a couple of times for lunch. The chicken parmesan is my favorite dish. Light it is not, but it's tasty and has a bit of a kick to it. You get two large chicken cutlets with a side of pasta and sauce. The food comes out very quickly, so it's a great option if you're on the go. read more

Parm - Chicken Parmesan - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

Incredibly disappointed by the customer service and general organization here. We placed a pickup order, came in to get it about 25 minutes later, and were informed that someone else had been given our order. Totally okay-- mix-ups happen, not a big deal. We were told that they'd have it replaced in 10-15 minutes, and they kindly refunded most of the purchase price. Generous, excellent gesture, we were still on board. ...cut to now, an hour after we got here and learned about the fact that our order had been given away. I've seen several customers come in and pick up takeout orders, without issue; others walked in and placed and received their takeout orders with 5-10 minutes of waiting at most. I'd love to be able to speak to the quality of the food, but I only just received our order (2 sandwiches, broccoli, calamari; nothing major/complicated)-- an hour and a half after it was placed. I've lived in New York for several years now and have never had an experience, let alone a takeout experience, quite this bad. read more

Stopped in for a Friday night dinner. It's a nice family place, lots of kids friendly decor. The staff is very nice and welcoming. The food is mediocre at best. Salad was ok. Cocktails are ok (slightly overpriced). We ordered the Chicken Parm dinner which was ehhh. Chicken was okbut too much cheese and sauce lacked. The pasta was not good. The Eggplant Parm was a decent portion and pretty tasty. read more

For me this was the best food by far. The Rigatoni Fra Diavola was too dire for. Ruben the GM was awesome to talk to and was so informative. Dawn our server was so friendly and was a pleasure to talk to. read more

Not sure how to classify this restaurant. If anything it's casual Italian. Overall food was tasty....the downside was the service. Saw our waiter 2 times the entire visit. Luckily they had staff who refilled water glasses because our waiter was MIA the entire time. read more

Wow Parm you have gone downhill fast. Majorly Disappointing Food Group -- thanks for the 9 soggy half-fried calamari, Sunday "Salad" with lettuce and a few olives (definitely not like the Italian-American tradition), and lukewarm pasta. Thanks as well for being OUT of: fresh mozzarella, turkey, meatballs, hero rolls, ripe avocado, and rosé. If you're out of that many things, TELL US BEFORE WE SIT DOWN. Waitress nice and really trying. MDFG, ask yourselves why Parm exists -- if it doesn't live up to our comparatively modest standards, there's no way it's living up to your own. read more

I wanted to like this place so much but it wasn't to be. The chicken Parm was ....ok. Certainly not worth two or three times what an ordinary NYC pizzeria would charge. The cutlets were good chicken but very thick. The sauce and cheese just laid on top and was totally lost on the chicken. It wasn't bad but it certainly is not worth $25. I've had better chicken Parm at half the price in many many places. read more

2-stars only because the indigestion hasn't kicked in yet. - Place was empty. - Music was explicit - not offended, just an odd choice for a very family neighborhood. - $12 for the Parma Supremo Burger which came out as a tiny FOUR OUNCE burger - no frills, no sides, no fries - just a child-sized burger (think McDs cheeseburger) in the middle of a sad plastic basket. Returned this. - Opted for the Chicken Parm on a roll. Overpriced as well, but a little larger. It tasted off, but I was hungry at this point. - My daughter ordered spaghetti, which came out in a dish that had three huge chips - strike that - CHUNKS out of it leaving sharp edges. Unfortunately, I didn't notice until after she was "done" (five bites and she didn't want to eat anymore. I tried it and couldn't blame her for not wanting it.) - Reported the problems to the waitress to see if this is the status quo or anomalies. She was very nice. Said she was new so couldn't really gauge, but thought it was not typically and hoped we'd be back. She took off my daughters meal. We've had bad serve and food here before, but was hoping it would turnaround. No such luck. Will not be returning unless there is some massive change, and others start recommending it. read more

The place is a joke. I don't know if they've improved since first opening, but this should sum it up. My wife and I live in the area, so we figured we'd attend to a Chicken Parm craving by going to Parm. Once we got there, the manager and waiter approached us as if walking into a fine-dining establishment - fine, they were being nice and professional (a bit creepy and unnecessary) So, the waiter sits us down and asks if we want to hear the wine list. We politely say no thank you. He replies 'Well, listen anyway". Everything about this place reeks of trying to impress tourists and millennials brats. The hilarious part is that they acted all "high-class" (wine glasses already on the table, ridiculously dressed wait-staff, etc). They were pretty-much mocking that I was in a t-shirt and ripped jeans, but then proceeded to deliver the food in a PLASTIC, BASKET (the type you see at sports games for Buffalo Wings. If this place was just a normal, casual, venue to grab a Parm and hang out, we'd be there all the time. However, it pathetically tries to be upscale and misses the mark entirely. A very uncomfortable place that's targeting one-time customers and not neighborhood fans. If you're in the area, go to El Vez across the street instead. read more

Gave up trying to eat here after 10 minutes at the bar with no one acknowledging us and dealing with a rude hostess who argued when we asked to see a menu. Food looked and smelled good. read more

Parm is one of my favorite restaurants in lower Manhattan... The fun and carefree vibe of years gone past are evident in this establishments ambience... The food is fantastic... The cocktails and desserts are tasty & creative...The staff are beyond pleasant, professional, competent & courteous... I actually spent my 60th birthday there last night and I wouldn't want to be any place else!! After a few visits to Parm you feel like your with family (because sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name!!) Thank you for always giving me a wonderful dining experience, from always making my taste buds dance to bringing Back fond memories with the amazing music I listen to while dining. Thank you!! I love this place! I Highly recommend a visit to Parm restaurant ....you will not regret it!! I guarantee you will leave there smiling!! read more

I would give zero if I could. We ordered food at 630pm. At 730pm we called to check in. We were told our food was on the way. At 830pm, we called again and were told there were delays in the kitchen and our food was actually not even prepared or ready yet, but they assured us it would leave within 10 minutes. At 930pm, we called again to see. Still, the food hadn't been prepared or even left yet. Blaming it on the shortage of kitchen staff. At 10pm, a manager called to see if we'd still like our food to be delivered. 3.5 hours! And we never got our food. Things happen, but they should NOT be taking deliveries if they cannot keep up. There is no excuse for this. Horrible. We will NEVER order from here again. All that being said, the managers were accommodating and I think doing the best they could in a bad situation. read more

Went for dinner at 6:30 and wasn't busy at all. The service was great and our server, along with the other workers who took our plates and stuff, were really nice. However, the food wasn't anything special. We ordered the meatballs appetizer ($14) and the ozersky ($21), which came with fries. We also ordered a side of fries which wasn't on the menu, but our server said we could order things that weren't on the dinner menu (like sandwiches) and they would bring it out. The fries were shoestring fries with parmesan and parsley. It came with ketchup and a chipotle mayo that didn't taste too chipotle-like. The ozersky was a hero with rare roast beef, thick mozzarella, banana peppers, and I think it was mayo. It was good, but I wish it was warmer. The only thing warm about the sandwich was the mayo, which is kind of gross, for my tastes anyway. I liked the sesame bread though. The meatballs (comes with 3) were strangely medium-rare - I'm not sure if that's normal. I'm pretty sure I'm used to having my meatballs pretty brown on the inside, but they were straight up pink. Nonetheless, tasted good. Once again, they were not hot. The mozzarella cheese was melted on top but hardened because it wasn't hot. Lastly, we ordered the smore's slice of ice cream cake. Three layers - toasted marshmallow, chocolate, and graham cracker - separated each by a chocolate crisp layer. There was also ground up graham crackers and chocolate wafers surrounding it. This was pretty good - I'd come here for the cake, but not the food. By the way, there's no dessert menu - the server just tells you what flavors of cake are available. And because there was no menu for the dessert, and the fries weren't on the menu, I don't really know how much they were. Our bill came to around $54 though (for two girls). read more

The staff is extremely friendly, courteous and most importantly prompt. I was seated outside with my family and dog and they even offered to bring for free chicken for the dog which of course I declined. The food was surprisingly tasty. I had the shrimp scampi with pasta while others had the vegetarian pasta option. All three dishes were surprisingly tasty! Prices are modest too unlike many of the fancily pretentious restaurants in the neighborhood. read more

I was recommended to come here by a few friends. I came here a month ago for my first ever trip to NY. It was a 5 minute walk from world trade center. I ordered the chicken parm. It was delicious & very tasty. I loved the marinara sauce. It was really filling & kept me full for hours, & i usually eat a lot. The environment was nice & the service was relatively good. The only down side was the price. In my opinion it's a bit pricey for what you get. I would definitely recommend this place read more

An experience that will not be repeated: Baked clams: luke warm, small and sad Calamari: luke warm, and meager pieces, not the fat juicy stuff we like Ozersky: ok Linguine Vongole: disgusting, over cooked, drenched in oil, tasted like detergent, really. Maybe these guys put some thought and attention when they first started in soho, but this location sucks. read more

1 Star is too much. Visited on a Saturday afternoon - not busy at all which should have made us keep walking. Mozz sticks arrived cold, baked ziti was burned (how that's possible I'm still not sure), and chicken parm hero was on stale bread. Overall HORRIBLE food. read more

Good food, but my God, why so slow? There's like 4 things on the menu, why not make them in advance? The slowness is not an isolated incident. It's every time I go, which I will not do again. read more

I had the spaghetti and meatballs which they let me substitute for the vodka sauce(no additional charge). I appreciated that; it was $19. If I had gotten the vodka sauce pasta and had to add meatballs separately it would have been quite a lot more. I thought the flavor was bland but with crushed red peppers, I liked it. They gave 4 meatballs which was good in terms of the portion size and it was quite filling. read more

Great convenient and spacious spot to come with coworkers to eat lunch, but way too overpriced. I had a Caesar Salad which was around $15 and it was okay, I did like the fresh warm croutons. Then I tried their Chicken Parm sandwich which was good. I actually really love their ice cream cake which is a three layered ice cream cake (pistachio, strawberry, and chocolate), but one slice is around $13. Overall I wouldn't go out of my way to come here. read more

Have to give a shout out to a great delivery man "Marco"! He ran to deliver my food. When I realized that I had ordered incorrectly he offered to take it back, explain to the manager and return the new order. All my fault - but resolved by this hard working guy. The chicken Parm was delicious BTW. Thanks Parm! Great food and great hire. read more

Just OK. Had Chicken parm on the classic seeded roll. The roll was pretty dry. Pretty disappointing as that roll is like a $3 or $4 upgrade over the standard. The chicken itself was solid and crispy zucchini was descent as well. read more

Finally made it to Parm, saw that they won best sandwich in America at one pt on FN & had to give it a try. The meatball parm roll is plenty for 1 so no need to do the hero.

Completely kid and customer UNfriendly. We used to come here almost every week for family dinners with friends, as our kids love the food and we thought it was a nice neighborhood family hangout until the manager Alex completely ruined our night. It was the end of our meal with friends, and we were waiting a long time for the check to come and then be picked up. Our kids started playing in the front and the parents then told them immediately to stop running and come back to the table, also secluded in the front. The manager basically told us to control our kids, and basically asked us to leave. We were all mortified, and not out of embarrassment but by the complete over reaction and offensiveness of the manager. We will definitely be spreading the word that this place is completely neighborhood, kid, and family UN friendly. Good luck with the single crowd, Parm. read more

Tasty food but not worth the wait or the price. Took over an hour and when we finally went up to the counter to complain, our food was sitting there. I used to go to the Parm on Mulberry and would still go back there, but not coming to this Parm again... read more

I strongly recommend this location is very intimate and cozy and in the Battery Park City area is way better

This place is massive compared to the one in little Italy. It's kind of kitschy too and lost that charm. Nonetheless it's a spot to accommodate a huge lunch time crowd and probably a family spot for the battery park city residents at dinner and weekends. Solid but small sandwiches (we all ordered the rolls) and good service. Dessert portion -tiramisu ice cream cake - was massive. Would def come again but only for lunch. read more
