The reviews were so good that we were expecting to be blown away by the food … but it was ok. The special app of melon, fig and prosciutto was really good an even though I was expecting cantaloupe instead of honeydew. The carbonara was ok, nothing amazing and the lamb special (which came with no price and was $57) was actually a bit gamey and only 3 chops. I tend to prefer the Italian places in midtown (Becco or Trattoria Tre Colore) but we were meeting someone coming from uptown and chose this based on reviews. The service was good.

There were 3 in my party. I ordered the special salad that had greens, apples, nuts and buratta cheese. Everything was fresh and flavorful. I followed that with a delicious Fettuccine Bolognese. All the pastas are homemade, and there were many choices. One of my guests had the Carbonara, and he was extremely pleased. The service and time between courses was just right. The restaurant is intimate, and decorated with charm and vibrancy. Had we had more time, we would have had dessert. We’ll do so on our next time at Il Carino!

I had one of the best dining experiences in NYC this week at this place. The food is incredibly fresh, and the gnocchi is the best I've had since moving to this country. Every dish we tried, from appetizers to desserts, was delicious and fresh. Giulio, the main server, was outstanding. We loved it so much we went back the next day. This place is a 10/10. I highly recommend it if you're in the Upper East Side area around 89th and 2nd Ave.

Quintessential family owned restaurant vibe, filled with long time customers. Pasta was perfect. Our waiter was attentive but not over the top. My only criticism was that the freshness of the bread brought at the beginning of the meal was not as fresh as everything else. Small matter, only noticeable as everything else was so good.

Il Carino is our go to anniversary, family meeting, random Tuesday dinner place but we had never been on Valentine’s Day. The same quality good, service, and ambience we get normally was also there on the busiest day of the year. A homeless man came in the middle of the rush to demand cash from the staff. I overheard the manager offer him a meal if he came back after hours. The man wanted cash and proceeded to cause a scene. The manager was calm with the man and he left without harm to people or property. I highly recommend here for dinner any day of the week.

A genuinely good find on the upper east side! This restaurant is an institution being able to survive for over 35 years! The atmosphere is small and romantic, while the food is fresh and very good. The service is also topnotch. I highly recommend this restaurant, but make sure to get make reservations!
