Me and my partner love IL Carino! We enjoyed every bite and balanced our meal with the finest wine. We additionally had dessert. As always, the service was amazing and attentive, and the place was neat and elegant. We'll be back!

I actually wasn't able to eat the food so can't say if was good or not,. We showed up and they have us a menu with prices that were more then double what was online! A single glass of wine was $21! Complete bait and switch!!! When I asked them about the difference, they said 'in person dervice was more as were paying for"tablecloths,etc!"". Outrageous. We got up and left. It's no wonder the place was empty!!! Super sketchy behavior! Avoid!!!

Good neighborhood restaurant - good food and service, very quiet (but it was Sunday). Only thing to watch out for is the bottled water - I ordered bottled water and in all other restaurants I have been to, they ask if you want another bottle, but here they just kept bringing new bottles and pouring them without asking. It happened so fast, I couldn’t stop it. Finally said no more water!

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.
