Trattoria Carina is a casual neighborhood Italian restaurant from the same family as Pub & Kitchen, focused on providing delicious food and a welcoming atmosphere at a great value. Located on the corner of 22nd and Spruce, it’s a charming and easygoing 32-seat trattoria, whose name means “Little Darling” in Italian. The menu changes seasonally, but always features a variety of homemade pastas and classic Italian dishes made up of the freshest ingredients. Trattoria Carina has a small bar program, featuring Italian wines by the glass, seasonal beer options, and a selection of cocktails including Negronis and Aperol spritzes. Should guests choose to BYO, there is no corkage fee. Trattoria Carina is open seven days a week for dinner starting at 4:30 PM.

    Loved the food but this is a nice cozy place so there really is no reason to have the music turned up so loud - it loses its cozy, relaxed vibe.

    Homemade pasta is the best. Chicken Parm is also excellent. Ambience is lively and somewhat loud, for a small venue, but not so loud that you can't carry on a conversation. Always very enjoyable.

    The food is good but the service was incredibly slow. Ordering felt like we were a bother to the server and we didn’t have a server even take a drink order for up to 20 mins after we sat down, and didn’t get food until approx. 1.5 hours after sitting.
