Parm
“We started by ordering the house-pulled fresh mozzarella that comes with garlic bread and boy was that good.”
“It is impossible to find a substantial fresh salad on the UWS, so I was thrilled to meet the Sunday salad.”
“Now that there's a huge new location on the Upper West Side though, I could see myself coming here more often.”

If's it's a Major Food Group Place, I am there. Been here a couple times, it is a good after-movie dinner place, (as well as a meetup for groups anytime). Parm is bigger and livelier then the original Parm in Lolita, but the food is just as good. My husband says the chicken Parmesan dinner is one of the best he's ever eaten. I always go for the Eggplant Parm–it's not pipping hot. but it's cooked really well and delicious. Make sure you get an appetizer, as they are all good–the BEST is the Garlic Bread–served on sesame bread with parmesan, it's really a treat. Good serivce, very quick. Will be back with friends.
I dunno man, I hate bringing places like this down but jeeze louise Parm is kinda rough. Don't get me wrong, it is a fine place to go for a meal in this otherwise pretty food-deficient area. The prices are crazy but that's honestly fine with me, it's just that the food isn't really up to snuff for what you are paying/hoping for.
The chicken parm here is always passable, but things drop off pretty precipitously from there. I love the look of the ice cream cakes here but they are never quite as tasty as they look. The smores cake was in desperate need of some kind of crunchy element. Eggplant parm is exceptionally bland. The clams are good here so there's that.
Three stars isn't supposed to be "bad" on yelp, and I don't think this place is bad. It's just kind of disconnected price/quality wise. Honestly though, we came here for dinner and all Parms are definitely better as lunch spots (ie the sandwiches and the turkey platter). So do come here if you are looking for an ok lunch, or don't, and go to spots like Red Farm instead.
Today was my Daughters birthday celebration at PARM. What a wonderful festive experience they provided. I called for a reservation and said I wanted to make it a special birthday meal.
We were greeted as we arrived. We arrived when they opened. The place fills up quickly. I had a reservation for 11:30 am. We left completely stuffed.
Today we were waited on by Rebecca. She was such a professional juggling many tables at one time. She got our orders perfect. She checked on us periodically. We did not feel rushed. We enjoyed our meal in relaxation taking a couple hours to eat and talk about all the birthday celebrating my daughter has been doing with her friends. Then here comes the food!
I had the fresh turkey sandwich. It was delicious just like my last visit. My daughter ordered the Eggplant Parmesan. She loved it. It was so huge she has enough for another meal. We had the bread and mozzarella as appetizer. Fresh and delicious sauce and olive oil to dip the fresh bread. I believe my daughter ate so much (since it was so good) when her food came she was full!
My turkey was so tasty tender and juicy. The bread was soft and fresh as well as fresh lettuce. I could not ask for more. I had provolone cheese with the turkey and it added another dimension to the delicious taste.
My daughter and I shared the Smore's Ice Cream Cake for desert. It had chocolate, toasted marshmallow, and graham cracker flavored ice creams with crumbles of graham and chocolate cookies on the plate. Also came topped with graham cracker, pieces of chocolate, and a warm toasted marshmallow. It was delicious beyond belief! I enjoyed it more than the sandwich naturally!
I asked for the General Manager Marcella. She was very helpful answering my questions our last visit. I was greeted by the new GM Nicole. Nichole said Marcella has been promoted to regional manager. She travels a lot and is working on their new location that will be opening in Williamsburg. Nichole was equally as professional. Everyone at PARM made sure my daughter had a happy memorable Birthday meal…
I once again I highly recommend PARM on Upper West Side. Eating there turns into a special occasion.
We played tourist and walked over from Central Park. The Italian hero was perfect. The bread immaculate. Really enjoyable and apparently trendy.
The good: -Decently sized spot with an old school vibe to it.
-Friendly service
-Above average eggplant parm
-reasonable prices
The not so good:
-2 hour wait when we were told 45 min-1hr
– Food not mind blowing enough to warrant waiting for that long
-a ridiculous wait even when there were multiple empty tables
Glad I tried it, and thankful for the good cocktail i had in the meantime across the street, but if you're going to ballpark me at 45 minutes for wait time then it should at least be in that same time frame rather than double the time.
Went to this place last night and while I'm not a big fan of pasta in general, the baked ziti was delicious! Fresh out of the oven with a ton of cheese. I got the one with meat sauce – well worth it. The drinks were good too. The dessert can be shared, which is great. I would definitely go to this spot again.
Had been waiting to check out Parm for awhile, and finally did! The restaurant is very inviting, and there is plenty of seating. Definitely make a reservation. It seems like it would also be good for groups.
Parm, where is your complimentary bread basket for the table?! That is my biggest complaint. How does an Italian place skip the bread? Oh well, more room for food. I ordered the eggplant parm and my boyfriend ordered the chicken parm. We both loved our dishes, but I think the chicken was the winner in my book. The pasta that came on the side was amazing and the mozzerella was so fresh! I really want to try the sandwiches because they look amazing as well. The portions are reasonable.
I usually cringe at anything Americanized, I tend to go by the belief that the more authentic, the better. I was pretty shocked at home much I enjoyed my meal at Parm. The restaurant doesn't seem that big from the outside but when you get inside, the restaurant is actually pretty spacious. The idea of elevated American Italian food sounded insane, but I am sold.
The food:
House made Fresh Mozz with a side of Garlic Bread- The fresh Mozz was good and the nice drizzle of olive oil was great but $12 for a ball of cheese was on the pricey side. The cheese is worth getting, though. The garlic bread was nicely made and had good flavor with a pretty aggressive garlic kick but the garlic kick didn't bother me, but the $8 price tag did. yelp.com/user_local_phot…
Chicken Parm Dinner- Spicy Rotini Pasta. I ordered this since the name of the restaurant is basically named after it. I am shocked to say that I was very happy with the quintessential Italian American dish and the leftovers heated up really well. I never order this dish since it is an American dish and I am usually not a fan of any food being Americanized but this totally worked. The chicken was done very nicely, it was fried really well and it was still juicy and tender especially for chicken breast. The pasta was overcooked for me but the flavor made up for it. I enjoyed the flavor of the pasta since it was a like a vodka sauce but with some chilies, the heat was nice a twist on the pasta dish. I would totally get this again. yelp.com/user_local_phot…
Linguine Vongole- Clams, Oregano. Clam- I normally avoid oil based sauces since I feel like I am just eating grease, the flavor on this was just OK. The flavor was not bad for the brief second it stays on your tongue but then it gets really bland, really quick. I only had a few bites of this dish and I wasn't really impressed. yelp.com/user_local_phot…
