Parm (Upper West Side) recreates classic Italian-American dishes in a casual environment that evokes the atmosphere of mid-century American diners, complete with a short-order counter and throwback AM radio music. The restaurant was founded by chefs Mario Carbone and Rich Torrisi, students of famed celebrity chefs such as Mario Batali and Wylie Dufresne. Moderately-priced entrees include Saratoga club sandwiches, baked clams, and the restaurant’s eponymous chicken and eggplant parmesan platters, which are complemented by snacks such as giardinia pickles and pizza knots. Wines are available by the bottle or by the glass, and classic beer favorites such as McSorley’s and Schaefer are available on draft and in cans.
