   Our pasta was overcooked. The space is too packed and uncomfortable. We waited a long time between salad and pasta. I think the kitchen was overwhelmed. One or two fewer tables would help everything.

   Amazing food! The chicken parm was the best I've ever had. Only complaint is there isn't much room between the tables so hard to move around

   I absolutely love this restaurant. Last night’s radiatore blew me away. Food is consistently delicious, staff is friendly, and it’s BYOB. Probably my favorite Italian place in Philly.

    The food is absolutely amazing! We ordered their two most popular dishes, the spicy crab pasta and the chicken parm. I would definitely order these again, the sauce was incredible. I do wish there were a bit more space in between the tables, we felt like we were on our date with the table next to us.

    This place is in a very nice neighborhood of Philly. They are BYOB or you can purchase from them as well. I had the Octopus appetizer which was tasty. The rabe appetizer was waaay too salty and on the tough side. I had the Radiatore pasta which was very filling but an interesting flavor of hazelnut and mushroom. They did not have any coffee at all which I found strange at an Italian restaurant that serves dessert. Overall, it was ok, but on the expensive side, especially for pasta dishes.

    Food and ambience are really good BUT the service in particular the wait staff need a few pointers on how to keep the meal moving - for example we finished our apps and the waitress walked by a few times and didn’t even bother to clear - she only cleared after the main dishes were brought to the small table which by then was completely over crowded

    Excellent food! Very fresh ingredients from local farms. It was a little chilly and we were outside, but they do have heaters so that helped a lot. We will be returning.

    This was our first time dining here- we liked it enough to try it again. The pasta was good, not fabulous . There are so many Italian restaurants in Philly that they all sort of meld together. The “ no corkage fee” when u bring your own bottles was very nice. The service was great. Eating inside was very noisy. Overall we liked it but we like other places more.

    Wonderful experience dining at Trattoria Carina for the first time. The service was extremely attentive - we loved our waitress. Ambiance, noise level and overall comfort of the restaurant was spot on. We started with the meatballs and the octopus - both were excellent. We agreed the meatballs were some of the best we had ever had. We shared the radiatore pasta dish with mushrooms, ricotta and hazelnuts - to die for!!!! We also shared the chicken parm which was quite possibly the best chicken parm we have ever had - super crispy chicken, tender enough to cut with a fork - not too thick not too thin and the portion was extremely large! My friend and I are big eaters and we both could only eat about 1/3 each of the cutlet and still had 1/3 left that we brought home. It came with spaghetti as well. For dessert we both had espressos and shared the cannoli budino - which was amazing! We will definitely return and I highly recommend for some of the best Italian in the city.

    The meatballs are absolutely amazing! The spicy crab dish had so many wonderful flavors… we had spaghetti I stayed of the pasta that came with the dish and the spaghetti was perfect, fantastic! Our waiter went above and beyond with fixing me an after dinner drink. Plan time for parking. Nothing around restaurant.

    The pasta was barely warm when served and had to be returned to be reheated. Actually tasted really good hot! The plates should be hot to keep the food hot. They were cold around the edges Even After the reheating. Disappointed!

    I love Trattoria Carina, and once again, it did not disappoint! I was there with a friend, and we got the meatballs, burratta, and caesar salad as appetizers to share. All were AMAZING!!! For our entrees, I got the chicken parmesan, and my friend got the sausage rigatoni alla vodka.....both were very yummy!!! I cannot recommend Trattoria Carina enough....it is one of my favorites!

    Server didn’t come back, food was cold by the time I was able to ask a question about it. Everything was piled with too much cheese. Fish was decent. No gluten free options for dessert.
