It’s not on the menu, but if you’re in the mood for some comforting, rich italian pasta, ask for the spaghetti (or penne) carbonara! - Jeremy
Not the biggest fan of pasta, but at Pepe Rosso, I can eat anything. One of the best Italian places in the city, really tiny, but worth it. Recommend the Penne Vodka and Pappardelle w/ Sausages & Spic
Lived down the block from this place for 3 years and became addicted to their penne spinach ricotta, also love their chili oil which is kind of hidden near the water.
The Penne Vodka with pancetta is SO good! A must!
Crispy zucchini with garlic confit and fire roasted cherry tomatoes is amazing! Penne ala vodka also very solid. And as other tips said, very reasonable prices!
penne vodka w/pancetta - comfort food heaven.
If you're hungry - and it's the middle of the night. Oh! They also have Penne Pizza.
Penne vodka slice is unreal. Best drunk food ever. You'll most likely regrey it the next morning but such is. Life
Penne Vodka pizza is the best!
Ordered to vodka penne pasta and a side of asparagus, all was delicious!
Penne Vodka, Spaghetti Carbonara, Rice balls, and Fried Calamari were all excellent
Baked ziti with meatballs! The penne a la vodka is also delicious. It’s More creamy and less tangy than I’m used to but amazing, and an nice change.
You can get the penne and broccoli vegan - just ask!
Amazing food. Some of the best sausage and meatballs I've ever had. The vodka penne was also amazing. Great service by Melinda too!
Penne ala vodka is the best! Portions are too big. Very lively place
Food is delicious! I love the mushroom/truffle soup and the penne tortufo! Yumm
Mushroom truffle penne so flavorful and delicious. Steak tar tar great appitizer but the samosas looked better. Avoid the chocolate pot for dessert; subpar.
It's a amazing restaurant! Excellent food and good service. I ate a Fig & Olive Salad and a Penne Funghi Tartufo, that one was so delicious!
The penne pasta is great, and you can expect a big family sized portion. The restaurant is nicely decorated with plenty of pictures. A fun filled atmosphere.
My family loved Carmine's! I would highly recommend the Calamari as an appetizer and Penne Vodka, both were delicious.
We ordered only Veal Parmigiana and Penne Alla Vodka pasta for five very hungry people. And that was too much! Delicious! Deserts are huge too! Very good restaurant!
The penne a la vodka is hands-down the best I've ever had!
Totally worth each second of the hour+ wait. The stuffed salmon and the Penne á la Vodka was to DIE FOR!
Fried Calamari & Penne ala Vodka go hand in hand !! Oh, and you can't forget the frozen Cosmopolitan ! Truely AMAZING !!!
Amazing pesto artichoke penne. Great prices, too. And the burratta!
Penne Pesto, Calamari, Orechiette, Rigatoni Gamberi paired with Nero D'Avola. Great spot for date night and a quiet candlelit dinner.
The octopus was well made, very nice artichoke pesto penne and amazing truffle Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese can get overweening so share! The food actually made up for the very rude service.
The best penne pomodoro you'll ever have. Finish it off with a stracciatella and cappucino!
My favourite restaurant in the city! Penne al pomodoro are awesome! (Im italian) I come at least 6 times a week!
The most authentic penne pomodoro I've found in NYC. A little steep at $22, but well worth the splurge.
penne alla fresco is the shit!!!!
I've had almost everything on the menu. Twice. Top 5: goat cheese (special), pesto shrimp, capellini, trout (special), penne vodka. Don't forget chocolate gelato for dessert!
The penne vodka is really good and the goat cheese capellini is fresh!
Clams Oreganata and the Penne ala Vodka are the best in the world! and the Bread is amazing! They treat you better than family here!
Oh my gosh. Counting my lucky stars to be here! What a scene... Amazing seafood salad and penne arrabiata hmmm. Pork chops looked very succulent but I don't eat meat :)
Start with a perfectly prepared Manhattan and follow it up with Mozzarella in Carozza, a Stuffed Veal Chop and Rao’s Meatballs.
Pasta - penne served with ricotta and pomodoro and topped with cubed mozzarella. The complimentary bread is also delicious with olive oil. The scenery is romantic and low light.
Everything!! I had the penne alla vodka which were amazing, my friend had the bolognese (they even have gluten free pasta) and that was amazing too, the minestrone and pomodoro were so great too!
This restaurant is an amazing hidden gem. Located on 77th street, just in the center, which gives it a neighborhood feeling. The food is delicious, especially the homemade pastas. Will return for sure
Gluten free penne!
Breasole, la Caprese & Calamari: the perfect appetizer combo! Rigatoni Pulcinella & Penne Vodka were al dente but flavorful. Salmon alla Griglia was amazing; Pollo Limone was overpowered by the lemon.
Penne Vodka is served al dente, but was amazing. Wine list carries extensive array of Italian vintages, and appears well-curated. Can get hot during summer since pizza oven is close to dining area.
Penne arrabiata is nice and spiiiiiiicy
Cash only, as others have noted. Arrabbiata penne excellent. Veal meatballs a must. Also, chicken cutlet. Cheap & cheerful beighbourhood joint. :/)
Amazing penne arrabiata! Reminded me of my grandmas's sauces. And the spinach gnocchi was delicious, and light for a creamy sauce!
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
