Have loved Carmine's for many years, but it's so crowded. You would also think that since it has been in business for so many years, has had so many customers, and has amassed quite a bit of money, that it could afford new chairs. We had to request different chairs because the ones we had weren't stable. Outside of that, the food was delicious, as usual. Large portions, so you have to be mindful if you're on a diet. Wait staff was very courteous and even entertaining. A recommended New York staple!
