Chazz Palminteri Italian Restaurant

“Definitely a great experience! The service was excellent from start to finish. The staff was attentive, professional, and very welcoming. Nikola was outstanding—personable, attentive, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout our visit. I also loved the atmosphere and overall vibe of the restaurant. It has a classy, sophisticated feel while still being warm and inviting. I would absolutely recommend it and look forward to coming back again.”

“Everything was delicious! Lovely Manhattan restaurant with lots of owner photos. Service impeccable! I chose the prefix theatre menu and it was great food choices for $59.00 appetizer, entree, dessert and coffee. Great deal. They added 18% gratuity so be aware of that. I love Sangria but they did not serve that either. The air conditioner vent dripped on my husband a few times, but really small issues. I like to be completely honest with good and bad in any restaurant. I didn't love restroom location. It was outside of restaurant downstairs. I know this is common in Manhattan but it felt a bit isolated. As a woman, I was glad my husband accompanied me. Overall great experience and food.”

“Had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service truly stood out. Nora and Nikola were absolutely great — friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back!”

“One of the BEST meals I’ve ever had, with impeccable service to boot. In town for a board meeting and turns out the resto is connected to my hotel—had to check it out… So glad I did. Took advantage of the theater prix-fixe menu and had calamari, salmon and tiramisù, and a cappuccino. Preparation, flavor and presentation were perfect all around. The servers were attentive and gracious, as was the maître d’. Got a margarita with Cointreau and thought the latter was lacking, so my main server brought me a nice-sized shot to add to it. Great price point too—and yes, I would have paid full price for the same meal. Highly recommend the place and look forward to eating here again!”

“What started as a convenient dinner choice because we were staying at the Hilton above quickly turned into one of the highlights of our New York trip. We dined at Chazz Palminteri Italian Restaurant multiple times, and every visit reinforced the same conclusion: this place is exceptional. The food is classic Italian American done at the highest level. The meats are the true stars here. From perfectly cooked steaks carved tableside to beautifully prepared lamb and braised dishes, every plate arrived rich, flavorful, and executed with confidence. Tender, juicy, and deeply satisfying, this is comfort food elevated to fine dining standards. The sauces were full of depth, the sides balanced the dishes perfectly, and the presentation was elegant without feeling pretentious. Equally impressive is the service. Denis, Nora, Diona, and the rest of the team delivered consistently outstanding hospitality. Warm, professional, and genuinely attentive, they made us feel welcome from the very first evening and remembered us on each return visit. Service like this is rare and makes a huge difference. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between upscale Manhattan dining and relaxed Italian charm. It feels lively, polished, and timeless all at once. Whether you are staying at the Hilton, visiting Midtown, or simply looking for a restaurant you will want to revisit during your stay in NYC, this is an absolute must. We will definitely be back on our next trip to New York. Highly recommended.”
