WOODBURY COMMONS | PARM Review 🛍️🍝
Taste Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ (3.6/5) Recommendation Rating: ⭐⭐ (2.5/5) Located inside the Woodbury Commons Outlets (NY/NJ), this spot was hyped as a "budget‑friendly Carbone alternative" — but my experience was mixed. ✅ Pros: Way less crowded and noisy than nearby ramen spots — a calm place to rest your feet after shopping. 🍝 What worked: The fried calamari and the two pasta dishes we tried were decent — flavorful and satisfying for outlet‑mall dining. ❌ What didn’t: The bread service was underwhelming — and honestly, it set a low bar that made the rest of the meal harder to enjoy. If you have a strong Asian palate (like me), the flavors here might feel bland or overly simple. If you truly enjoy classic "American‑Italian" fare, it could be a better fit. Finally understood why some say Carbone isn’t for everyone — Parm might share a similar vibe, just dialed down. #NYCFood #WoodburyCommons #ParmNY #OutletEats #ItalianFood #FoodReview #AsianPalate #ShoppingBreak #NotForMe #EatLocal #NJFood #NYCEats
