   This is a consistently wonderful neighborhood restaurant with excellent food—last night’s peach/tomato/burrata salad to die for!

   Food and serious were quite good. Perhaps linked with wonderful food enjoyed by all diners - it is a bit noisy.

   Our waitress was very helpful and happy to give her opinion and suggestions. She was also correct that the gazpacho was out of the this world!!! We loved our crab pasta and the other entree special, which was farfalle pasta with zucchini. Thank you so much again for another great experience! The couple dining next to us had come back in again for another visit just for the crab pasta special. That says a lot!

   Chicken Milanese has a sweet glaze on it. If you like sweet get it but if you don’t ask for it to plain. The sausage vodka rigatoni was really good. Meatball app was okay, a little spicy

   Food and service were outstanding. Very pleasant sidewalk dining in good weather. Gazpacho is unusual and delicious. Grilled octopus very tender. Interesting and varied cocktails and wine.

   Beautiful BYO. But the food isn’t great. I ordered the cacio Pepe and it had way too much salt. A shame… since it was such a cute restaurant

    Unfortunately our waitress rushed us out of the restaurant. We had asked to have our meals spaced out due to an eating disorder I am dealing with and the pasta came out immediately after an appetizer. It ruined our dinner and made me unable to eat it. We had our drink appetizer and meal within 30 minutes of entering the restaurant. We left within 45 minutes of sitting down. Very disappointing as I had been looking forward to trying this place for a very love time. The vodka ragu with sauce tasted exactly like chef boyardee. It was horrible. 135$ for an awful experience very very sad.

    It was my last meal out in Philadelphia before a big move and it was the perfect celebration! Our waiter was so kind and gave us free dessert to help us celebrate :) the food was delicious as always. My favorite restaurant in Philadelphia and one I will be sure to return to when I’m back in town for visits.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Everything was terrific. Fantastic Caesar salad and excellent entrees. Only suggestion is to bring in an acoustical engineer as the entire restaurant is hard surfaces and the noise level made it very difficult to have a conversation.

    Absolutely fantastic, great service and the portions are huge! We had the meatballs, chicken parm, and the spicy crab pasta. Everything was incredible and soooo tasty. Drinks were also fantastic and the ambiance was so lovely as well. I loved the decor as well, it was so cute and I loved being able to see the back of house folks prepping everything. Thanks so much for a great meal!

    Our return to Thursday night date night post COVID was wonderful thanks to Trattoria Carina! Lovely outdoor seating with attentive staff, delicious cocktails and pasta. The white sangria was refreshing and presented with an orange and strawberry garnish. The meatballs were divine with a light fresh tomato sauce and burrata dollop. The caprese salad was a bit of a disappointment because the heirloom tomatoes were past their peak but the crab pasta more than made up for that! We cannot wait to return and try more things on this menu and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others. Trattoria Carina is a neighborhood gem!

    Very promising upon arrival everything looked delicious Had a very good Octopus and gigantic bean appetizer, but could not taste any fennel cream as described on the menu. Burrata was very good, but a bit bland. Rigatoni with spicy sausage was very al-dente , and the red sauce was watery and a bit goopy. I think it was compared competently, but just an odd recipe, reminded me of an Italian dish that you would get in An Italian restaurant -but in China ( and yes I have had that experience more than once.) Waitress told us that everything we ordered were her personal favorites, and she was so glad one of our party tried something new and liked it, that “made her day”. came across as very insincere. Had to ask server for ground pepper and grated cheese. Which he had to go find in the kitchen —-Really? Glad I tried it, but not going back. Too many other great option in town and nearby.
