What a wonderful surprise!! A neighborhood gem, which has it all. My husband and I shared the insalata verde , with bibb lettuce and othr greens It looked like they gave us two salads for the price of one. I had the cornish hen,nicely presented with lentils in a balsamic port reduction sause which tintilized the palate. It was served with tasty potato puffs My husband papadella pasta dish was delicious as well. We can't wait to ty other dishes on the menu.

We tried Carastina because it's convenient and find that it's worth a trip. Everything we ordered was excellent, including octopus, short ribs with authentic pappardelle, and the best lobster sauce I've ever had in an Italian restaurant, loaded with large pieces of lobster. The portions are generous, including the salads. The room is lovely albeit a little noisy. There's a back room that looks brighter and may be quieter. The service was very good. Only the wine list was lacking; rather few choices, relatively high prices, and the red wine was kept far too warm. The dessert offerings were also limited; a few more gelato and sorbetto choices would be welcome. Worth a trip for the pasta, fish and meat.

The food was lovely, but we had dinner at 9:30 and they cleared the flowers while we were eating and started turning up the lights. So don't go late if you want to enjoy a leisurely meal.

New to the neighborhood, Carastina had great potential when it opened. Unfortunately, it has not lived up to that potential. Sorry to say, it is just another meal.
