Trattoria Carina

Has become the special spot for my girlfriend and me. They secretly have amazing gluten free pasta and we come to share! The apps are hit or miss (we’ve had their carrot salad and it was great, the octopus was a let down) but the pasta always hits! Not a bad call for brunch too. Cocktails are nice, especially the slightly salty espresso martinis! Their affogato and pistachio soft serve dessert options are a must! Espresso soft serve is tasty but a bit aggressive even for veteran stomachs

Trattoria Carina offered us a pleasant dining experience with a delightful selection of beverages and tasty dishes. Shoutout to the the waitress and staff who enhanced our dining experience and for their attentive and friendly service. The Prosecco and primitivo red wine were both delicious and complemented our meal perfectly. We ordered the Rigatoni Alla Vodka, which offered a heavenly taste with its creamy sauce and flavorful meat. The consideration for gluten-free options adds to the restaurant's appeal, catering to various dietary needs. The chicken parmesan, accompanied by a side of simple tomato pasta, was a surprise in presentation and tasted quite good, though it might not be considered the best. While the outdoor seating might be challenging on colder days like ours at 30°F, the heating provided was satisfactory, allowing for a comfortable dining environment. Due to its popularity, making reservations ahead of time is advisable to secure a table, as Trattoria Carina tends to be consistently full.
