They only take reservations for 6 or more. Even so, you will have to wait.
I don't know how picky your teens are, but the food there is served family style, so everyone will have to agree on a few dishes. The sauce is very garlic-y, so if they don't like it, don't go. I like the food -- traditional, red-sauce Italian. I think the fried calamari is particularly good.
If that won't work for them, why not John's Pizza down the street? They have good pies, some pasta and yummy salad.

Although Carmine's doesn't take reservations for parties of less than 6, we have been told what time we could return to be seated (when there was a wait). I was pleasantly surprised upon our return when our table was ready immediately when they said it would be. So, that might be another option if you don't want to sit there and wait.

Guess I'm the "Duh," but I'm not from NYC and haven't heard of Beccos.
Please fill me in. Appropriate for a group of 12 with teens? Outrageous prices? And WHERE is it?
Please don't assume people asking questions know what's available or they probably wouldn't need to ask.

Becco is at 355 West 46th between 8th and 9th. Phone is 212-397-7597 and you'll need to make reservations.
It is very modestly priced -- much of the attraction, with a wonderfully priced wine list. The big deal is the unlimited pasta -- they have three pastas of the day and serve them to you at your table from big skillets. I'm not sure of the price now, but about $21.95. Anyone? They used to do a seafood antipasta combination with the unlimited pasta as well, but I think that has changed.
