   Food took over an hour to arrive. Drinks were forgotten. Food was good but it’s had to enjoy when you see other people being served while you wait forever

   Trattoria Carina is Philly's hidden gem (although we selfishly wish it was more hidden, tables are often hard to come by!) Everything is perfect in this jewel box of a casual yet elegant neighborhood Italian spot - the ambiance, the curated menu, the waitstaff, and the kitchen's execution. A really wonderful spot in a great food city.

   Excellent Italian food in a cozy setting not too close and not too far from downtown, high quality fresh ingredients, excellent friendly service. Will definitely go back!

   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!

    The food was great, but the layout is very crowded.
