Reviews Chazz Palminteri Italian Restaurant

This restaurant is a culinary delight! The food is not only delicious but comes in satisfyingly large portions. Add to that the good service, and you've got a winning combination. A definite 5-star experience for those who appreciate tasty dishes, generous servings, and attentive service.

Well I usually do not rate a "5" on all the categories however this restaurant deserves it. Was a great fine dinning experience. From appetizers to dessert. Filet Mignon was tender and could cut it with a fork ( like butter) The calamari appetizer was the most delicious I have ever had ( so tender ) My wife had the Chicken Parmesan and was perfectly done and presented. The Tiremesu was tasty and creamy. They also have an extensive wine 🍷 list with great selections. Make your reservation and GO!

We booked a table at Chazz Palmenteri as it was close to our hotel and Grand Central Station, so the location was very convenient. The restaurant wasn’t crowded and was very intimate. The antipasto was served promptly and very fresh. The bread has a great crumb and a perfect crunch. The small wedges of Parmesan were clearly broken in the traditional way, rather than sliced, which was a great detail that is often missed. The bitter olives paired well with the rich bread and cheese. We ordered an appetizer of calamari which was some of the most tender that I have ever had. The breading was the perfect consistency and the tomato sauce was light enough to complement the squid without overpowering it. My fiancé ordered the four cheese tagliatelle. The pasta itself was very clearly made in house and had the lovely characteristic elasticity of egg noodles. The sauce was rich and cheesy without being too thick or sticky. I ordered the minestrone and found that the vegetables were cooked perfectly. The vegetables were seasoned well and cooked to the point of being tender without losing all of their textures. For my main course, I ordered the gnocchi with ragout. I was skeptical ordering this as there were so many phenomenal options on the menu that I was worried that I may be missing out by ordering something so simple. I was wrong. This gnocchi is the second time that food has ever made me cry. It was so perfectly light that it almost melted in my mouth. The sauce was rich but let the flavor of the dumplings shine through. The meat was evenly cut and fork tender, but stayed hearty. This gnocchi made me cry. I haven’t had such incredible gnocchi since my Nonna passed away. The first bite took me back to being four years old, sitting on her kitchen floor, tasting it fresh off the stove. This entire meal was a fantastic experience and the perfect way to end our brief stay in New York. I’ll give this restaurant the highest compliment that I can possibly give a restaurant, and one that I have only given once before. I would have payed more, much more, for this.

We had a large table and they accommodated us so nicely. The attentiveness and graciousness of the staff was top notch and their food and wine suggestions were on point . We opted for family style and enjoyed the fried calamari, baked clams, roasted asparagus, and buffalo mozz caprese to start . Our entrees were a Caesar Salad, Seafood Risotto , Mushroom Ravioli, Lobster Ravioli, Gnocchi Ragout, A Bronx Tail, and Veal Marsala. Highly recommend them all. Cappuccinos, Espressos, one choc lava cake and one tiramisu to end a wonderfully relaxing evening with family and no dishes to wash :) We visit the location in White Plains often and love it there too. Enjoy

My wife and I had an excellent meal here, and rather "on-the-fly". We called for a reservation, but it was a prime dinner hour (we had attended Colbert's taping). We figured we'd take a chance and just "show up". Lucky we did. The VERY gracious hostess took us to what I later learned was the boss' table and we enjoyed a wonderful meal

I first dined at Chazz Palminteri when we moved to New York in early 2020 and we quickly became regular visitors. Without going too far into sentimental appreciation, I can say that if you are local you will soon find that you are graciously welcomed and embraced as family. If you are a tourist visiting the city, you can be sure to find a selection of flavorful dishes prepared with quality ingredients. I have tried almost every dish on their menu and have yet to experience anything that was less than enjoyable...if not exceptional. I have only two regrets: That I haven't given a review sooner...and that we had to move to another city and can now only visit when we are in town. It is definitely worth adding this restaurant to your list of places to visit in NYC!!!

On our visit to NYC, we made reservations at Chazz Palminteri restaurant. The service was outstanding and very attentive. Food was amazing! We had Chicken parmigiana and panned seared halibut. Atmosphere was cozy and relaxing. It was a great dining experience and well worth the wait and price. It is a top 5 restaurant to break bread!

What a fantastic restaurant!! I didn't get to see Chazz, but the food was out of this world. The octopus was tender, the eggplant parmesan was fabulous, the seafood risotto was delicious and the veal special of the evening was mouth watering. The service is just wonderful. Maybe I'll get to see Chazz next time lol
