the food was pretty good, the place is pretty nice and you need a reservation but i wish there were more option for appetizers especially because they were out of octopus when i went and that’s what i wanted.
they were out of a lot of other things including chicken.
i also wish they toasted their bread but the olive oil was so good.

Trattoria Carina offered us a pleasant dining experience with a delightful selection of beverages and tasty dishes.
Shoutout to the the waitress and staff who enhanced our dining experience and for their attentive and friendly service.
The Prosecco and primitivo red wine were both delicious and complemented our meal perfectly. We ordered the Rigatoni Alla Vodka, which offered a heavenly taste with its creamy sauce and flavorful meat.
The consideration for gluten-free options adds to the restaurant's appeal, catering to various dietary needs.
The chicken parmesan, accompanied by a side of simple tomato pasta, was a surprise in presentation and tasted quite good, though it might not be considered the best. While the outdoor seating might be challenging on colder days like ours at 30°F, the heating provided was satisfactory, allowing for a comfortable dining environment.
Due to its popularity, making reservations ahead of time is advisable to secure a table, as Trattoria Carina tends to be consistently full.

First I have to start off and say the customer service here is incredible! We had outdoor seating and it’s November and also I’m wearing a dress so I thought i was going to be freezing cold but they have heated lamps above every table and I was surprisingly not one bit cold through the whole night.
We had ordered the cacio e pepe and it was too hard and we let the waitress know and she asked if we wanted to have the chef make us a new one but we kindly declined and said it was fine.
Continued on enjoying all the other dishes, which were ALL DELICIOUS btw.
When we got the check we had noticed they took the dish off the bill for us! Very very nice of them for that.
Everything was very good, especially the Cesar salad!
