"It was very ok. Mostly because it took 30 minutes after our reservation time to seat us, so admittedly the first impression of Osteria Carlina was pretty bad (they gave us prosecco as an apology, but we don’t drink prosecco). I was hoping the food would have made up for the wait but… the food was just good. It wasn’t incredibly delicious, but solidly good. Unfortunately not enough to leave a lasting impression. It definitely won’t be the spot that comes to mind next time a friend suggests we go to an Italian place for dinner."

"Fabulous from start to finish for a cozy birthday celebration for my Mom! Our server, Orchid, was excellent: professional, personable, kind. The panzanella salad was so fresh and perfectly dressed + creative: the “bread” replacer with farro. We ordered the agnolotti stuffed with brisket and pork shoulder in a brown butter sage sauce and the 3-meat bolognese. Both were divine. And just as I requested via a note on Resy (no reminder needed!), Mom’s choice of the hazelnut chocolate mascarpone cream cake was delivered with a candle and “happy birthday”written in chocolate. We ate every bite. And PS the Abonna Barolo was a perfectly lush, bright, medium-acid pairing with our food. Cannot wait to bring my husband here (West Village) and to try the Tribeca location also"

"Delicious food and beautiful decor. We enjoyed both pasta dishes, the focaccia was amazing, and we had a wonderful tomato and pear salad as well. The staff were kind and helpful. We also briefly met the owner who was lovely. This place should much busier but we were happy we could drop in without any issue. If you’re considering it, just go!"

"Had some lovely appetizers later in the evening. We were able to walk up without a reservation and get a seat outside in the front patio area/sidewalk seating. Erick, the host, was super friendly. Pir server was great too! We had the homemade focaccia with whipped butter (10/10) along with the Carolina salad which had crispy Brussels and an amazing light dressing. Paired well with the sauvignon blanc. We ended the meal with an espresso shot each which was delicious and silky smooth☕️ would definitely come back for a full dinner!"

"This was definitely the best Italian restaurant I’ve been to in the past year! Charming little spot with great service and amazing food. I started with the angel hair pasta with fresh truffles - such a simple dish but simply divine with perfectly cooked fresh pasta and aromatic truffles shaved table side. For the main, I had one of my favorite Italian dishes, veal milanese - so thin and crispy, just perfect with a squeeze of lemon. I have to say it was difficult choosing with so many great sounding options on the menu so will definitely be returning."
