The experience was pleasant… The food wasn’t that stellar. It was good but it wasn’t exquisite. Servers were all nice and attentive. A friend and I shared a starter a salad and a main. I’ll give it another try and order different dishes.

The food is good, the noise is deafening. Nothing to absorb sound in this small restaurant. If you go, eat outside. Service was ok but not great. Example: we said we’d share the salad and server did not bring two plates. The noise level so high we had to shout at each other to hear. Will not return. At these prices the owner should add some sound absorbers.

Some of the best pasta I’ve had in ages. Ate outside and service was great. Would definitely come back!!

The gazpacho was amazing! Different, complex, and delicious taste with lots of unblended veg. Best ever! Grilled octopus was tender and tasty. Good campari cocktail. Server was friendly, helpful, and entertaining. Outdoor table was very nice. No cover ~ weather dependent.

Excellent neighborhood place- inventive, seasonal dishes

The food was slightly disappointing given the reviews, as was the atmosphere. The noise level was so insane that it drowned out the entire restaurant.

Every aspect of this dining experience was IMPECCABLE, from the appetizers to the main course.

We had the best meal at trattoria carina! The server was so accommodating to my small toddler and came out with bread right away so she wasn’t sitting there starving. The meatballs and cacio e Pepe was delicious! Great place to enjoy a meal!

Blown away with food. Service exceptional. Great value.
