    Not as good as say L'Impero, but a quiet, family meal at a round table serving Italian food in Midtown can be had at Acqua Pazza. It's not trendy and it's not famous but it serves some pretty good food. I had the osso buco and thought it was really good. Consider it an alternative.

      Actually, L'Impero I think won a Time Out Award as the best place to take your parents. So, perfect for the occasion.

        L'Impero has large round tables, although I am not sure if they seat 6 or 8. But it's a delightful place.

          For a big group, definatelly Carmines. The food is abundant perfect for sharing.

            Carmines is only recommendable if your goal is to not spend too much money while getting drunk and listening to every other table yell and sing Happy Birthday.
