    The chicken parm, Italian combo, and Saratoga club are all strong choices, and you're going to want an order of the calamari and the Buffalo cucumbers too. [Eater 38 Member]

    Order mozzarella sticks and the salami (ricotta) toast. Dip the sticks in the fresh ricotta. Then sit back and wait for the heart attack, so you can die a happy man. In memory of P-Hayes.

    Chicken parm hero is a 8.5/10. The seeded bread is perfect, the cheese is excellent, the cutlet was pretty good maybe a tad over done. I've had better and much hotter out of the oven. I'd come back!

    Chicken parm, obv. Mozzarella sticks are perfect, no frills, great crispy exterior. Great wine, too. Cool old-school red sauce vibe with classic rock (lots of Billy Joel) playing.

    LOVE this place!!! Everything is great. Garlic breads are often overlooked but definitely order them if mozzarella sticks are bit too filling. Rotini on the side of chicken parm is to die for!!

    The New Plan: Bring a friend and go splitty-split on the mozz sticks (as an appetizer, obvs) and the Chicken Parm and Saratoga Club (chicken salad mixed w/ potato chips!). DO IT!

    It's hard to pass up the famous chicken parm but the saratoga club is amazing too. You just have to get a side of house made mozzarella too if you go that way!

    I know everyone goes for the chicken parm, but if you're not feeling something that heavy the Saratoga Club is excellent: chicken salad, lettuce, tomatoes, bacon, zesty mayor & potato chips.

    Just one of the damned best places in NYC. The ricotta toast is magnificent (though ask for more toast if you are more than 2), Chicken Parm roll is sweet, and don't miss the ice cream cake.

    Wow. Great spot. Get the garlic bread and chicken Parm in a hero. Meatball platter is also amazing. Tons of ricotta cheese with every dish!

    Everything is delicious. Pay attention to the difference between the chicken parm and chicken cutlet sandwiches. My fave is the eggplant parm sandwich.

    The first thing you'll notice is how small this place is, even for NYC. Don't let the lack of space put you off-this place rocks. Great service. Veal parm is amazing, and the bolognese sauce is killer

    Had the chicken parm hero (just perfect) and the Italian combo (packed with quality cold cuts, some crunch and the right amount of spice), both amazing and really filling.

    This old school, red-sauce italian sandwich spot is brought to you by 2 relative whippersnapper chefs in the NY restaurant scene, and they've done good. A favorite Foursquare lunch spot.

    Ask if they have the Rock Shrimp Bruschetta - a special seasonal item. It's like the crazy delicious cousin to the lobster roll - the cousin you want to eat over and over and over again.

    They discontinued the mozzarella sticks!! Sacrilege! Best in nyc and dropped from the menu. Unfathomable.

    The chicken parmigiana was everything I was hoping it would be and better. I'll hopefully be back to try all the parm varieties and the delicious I looking side dishes.

    Chicken and meatball parm, both great. Go here for a quick filling meal but be aware: the pasts is surprisingly spicy and the music is so loud that you want to leave at first.

    It's a very right squeeze in here, especially for the toilet. But if you can sit up front by the bar or are happy to be cozy in the back, then come and enjoy the great food!

    Clearly specialize in parm sandwiches, and they aren't kidding around. It's unbelievable. Place is pretty small but service is quick and to everyone's surprise they play some dope R&B to top it off

    It's hard to believe a turkey sandwich can be this good. It's thick cut, roasted in some delicious spices, and finished off with a spicy mayo on top.

    A throwback Italian-American sandwich shop from the serious chefs who brought you Torrisi Italian Specialties. The meatball parm and chicken parm are standouts.

    House-pulled “mozz,” in balls or sticks; the vinegary iceberg “Sunday” salad, which becomes a “Holiday” salad with some salami and cheese; and the eponymous sandwiches—eggplant, chicken, and meatball

    Great hearty Italian sandwiches. While you can never go wrong with chicken and eggplant parms, turkey is the jam. Add a side seasonal veggies and thank me later.

    Consistently the best chicken parm sandwich - just the right about of crispiness, clean tomato sauce and the sesame seed bun 😋

    From Eater: a casual Italian-American bar and sandwich shop - the second restaurant from Mario Carbone and Rich Torrisi. Order the chicken parm, Italian combo, or Saratoga Club, plus the calamari.

    With zesty tomato sauce and oozy melted mozzarella, the chicken, eggplant and meatball parm sandwiches at Parm in New York, as well as the Italian combo hero, can’t be beat. Read more

    The chicken parmesan - in platter or sandwich form - is to die for. Finish it off with a slice of the ice cream cake for a truly indulgent meal.

    Don't miss the potato and egg platter. Omelette-esque, red peppers, side of ziti. Breakfast for dinner, and then use Cover to skip the bill.

    Listen, the chicken parm & mozz sticks will blow your mind, but if you're feeling a little #FatDenny the chopped salad (with chicken) is a real sleeper hit. Do it!

    the Saratoga Club gets lost in the shuffle but is my sleeper choice for best sandwich. and despite everyone raving about the buffalo cucumbers, the broccoli rabe is far superior.

    Total Italian comfort food. Can't go wrong with a Parm sandwich but if you want something really memorable, get the spicy yet delicious Saratoga Club. Recommend the calamari and brussel sprouts too!

    Welcome to one of my favorite places to eat. You seriously can't go wrong with anything on this menu but I suggest: turkey on a roll, chicken parm platter, Saratoga Club, and the ice cream cake!

    Come for a late lunch on Saturday after the rush. Sit at the bar, order any Hero sandwich, relax and watch some English Premier League action.

    The chicken parm is easily best I've ever had. Flavorful tomato sauce, little basil, perfectly cooked chicken breast, amazing sesame roll. None like it.

    Don't let the Mozzarella Stick Mafia strong-arm you: Get the garlic bread deluxe (garlic bread + ricotta + marinara) and never look back.

    Be careful when you try the eggplant parm. It's so good that you'll never be able to order eggplant parm from any other place. This is the price of perfection.

    Loved the mozzarella sticks, baked ziti & eggplant roll. Also, the spicy rigatoni that comes with the platter!

    What else to order other than a meatball parm from a place called Parm? The melted mozzarella in the toasted hero is mouthwatering with the juicy meatballs and fresh tomato sauce.

    Patty Melt, $25 The beef they use for this patty melt goes where no patty-melt beef has gone before: into a LaFrieda meat locker, where it’s aged for 60 days. Plus great smashed potatoes on the side.

    eggplant parm sandwich is the best I've ever had. Perfectly cooked tender eggplant, great tomato sauce, loaded with fresh basil, on fantastic semolina bread. The eggplant sandwich to die for!

    In a neighborhood filled with excellent restaurants, Parm is probably my favorite. I always get my sandwiches on a roll because the bread tastes better than the hero. Plus it saves you room for cake!

    This shop only makes Parmigiana'ed things and they are all delicious. Special shout out to the meatball parmigiana on a roll. Also, cocktails!

    In my experience, the meatball parm (more like a patty) comes out much quicker than the chicken. So if you are here for a quick bite, get the meatball (both are equally delicious though)
