                                                            Carino is one of the best places to go in the city. The food is exemplary, we had the mussels, Wagyu special and dessert tonight. Had to stop ourselves from licking the plates. The front of the house is one of the best in the city, Josh and the rest of the team always help to make our dinners memorable. Looking forward to going back soon.

                                                            The waitress was very friendly, however rarely came to check in on us. While it was not a huge deal for us, refills on water were scarce and interactions with her seemed quite minimum and limited.

                                                            This is my second time dining at Carino. The service was just as incredible as the first time. We had two allergies in the group and the staff went above and beyond to ensure they were aware of their options. I may have been converted to a lamb lover because their lamb dish was the best meal of the evening. I will be coming back here often, would highly reccomend!
