Trattoria Carina offers "excellent Italian food" with "high quality fresh ingredients" and "great service." The cozy atmosphere makes it ideal for intimate dining, though seating can be tight. The "chicken parm" and "Sunday gravy" are highly recommended. It's a charming BYOB spot that's perfect for special occasions and a delightful culinary experience.

    Pros- byob, huge portions, quaint atmosphere Cons- I’ve been here twice and have had less than average service. The food tastes wonderful, but, in my experience, has also come out cold both times

    Trattoria is simply the best food and overall restaurant in the whole city. I take everyone I know here because I know it will always be the best meal and this most recent experience was no exception. We had the best time at brunch with the most delicious food. When sitting inside the noise levels and space can get a little loud and a little tight, but it is more than worth it for the overall experience. 100/10!

    Great Italian food spot. Popular and elegant. Amazing service and quality food. The worst part is the small indoor seating where you're elbows away from another party, even if they could space you separately. Would recommend the Chicken Parm!
