Da Marino Restaurant

The best Italian restaurant in Manhattan. I have lived in NYC for more than 15-years and dine here often, and the food and service is always exceptional. The kitchen would make any Italian mom proud, delicious and fresh Italian food cooked to perfection; the desert's are heavenly; and the atmosphere is everything you expect in NYC. Love the live piano ... and keep your eye out, because this famed eatery is frequented by celebrities. The owners Craig and Kay make you feel like part of the family, and Tom, the host, is an icon in NYC.

Amazing food, love music a bit too loud although it IS beautiful, just hard to have a comvo. Great attentive service :)

Eating at Da Marino is all about the experience, and we loved it. It's crazy, cramped, noisy and brilliant all in one little package! From waiting to be seated in the virtually none existent 'corridor' behind the bar, to the noise of the place (including the live music) and to the speed at which the waiters whizz around, we had a great time. We also found the food and wine to be delicious, if a little on the pricey side (but you are in the middle of Manhattan). I'm sure all of the things we loved could be perceived as negatives by those of a different mindset, but if you want a 'dining experience' rather than just good food, I'd thoroughly recommend Da Marino, it really is a blast for all of your senses!
