A fantastic meal from start to finish. The best produce, beautifully presented, and cooked. Flavour all the way. The quality of the plates matched beautifully with the service. Welcoming and friendly. Would come back in a heartbeat. If you are anywhere near, come.

The food was great! I had the dal makhani and samosas. I highly recommend both. Service was exceptional and the restaurant went above and beyond and surprised us with dessert.

As always goodness excellent, staff was the right amount of attention. Always a good choice for Brunch or dinner!

A New York Gem That Feels Like Home Il Carino has quickly become a cherished tradition for our family. This was our third time dining here while visiting our daughter at Fordham, and each visit has been more memorable than the last. The food is simply outstanding—every dish is crafted with care and bursting with authentic Italian flavor. From the appetizers to the desserts, everything we were served was delicious and beautifully prepared. It's clear that this is a place where food is made with love. But what truly sets Il Carino apart is the incredible service. Giulio, the owner and our waiter each time, is the heart of this restaurant. His warmth, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality make every meal feel special. You’re not just eating at a restaurant—you’re being welcomed into a family. Il Carino will forever be our favorite place to eat in this great city. It’s a must-visit for anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience in NYC.
