  • replying to u/donut_butt: Parm opened 2011. It’s gotten a lot bigger and more annoying to eat at, and the house turkey is proportioned instead of sliced to order, but the sandwich still hits hard.

    It was like all the care was aborted and it was just slop. The bread they gave used to be amazing on the sandwiches. Now it's soft supermarket bread.

  • I had a few misses when I ate there before. The last time the chicken arrived cold in center.....over cooked after I asked for it to be heated up. The spicy rigatoni was greasy. Look elsewhere.

  • replying to u/MikeDarsh: Parm had a pork belly sandwich at one point that was one of the nastiest things I’ve ever ordered (and it’s my fault for ordering in the first place) The Bolognese at Harry’s Italian is straight up dog food

    Parm was definitely one of the worst meals I’ve had in the city. People compare it to Carbone because it’s the same owners, except they taste nothing alike. Bland and overcooked everything, and awful service on top

  • I found it to be nothing special and the pasta was way to Al dente with a “raw flour” taste. The meatball appetizer was pretty good though. Not overly impressed.

  • I’d rather just go to Parm and get the spicy rigatoni for like 25% the price and 100% less the headache

  • For some reason I still love going to Parm. I know it’s not mind blowing but the sandwiches especially the turkey still do it for me. I know that casual italian American fare has been tried a million times over but they get it right.
