Philadelphia Italian Restaurant | Trattoria Carina π
π 2201 Spruce St, Philadelphia, PA 19103 Went with friends last week β loved the bright, stylish decor and cozy atmosphere. Better to reserve in advance, but if you go before 7 PM on a weekday, itβs not too crowded. π Octopus β Pretty standard. Not sure why octopus in European-style restaurants always turns out soft rather than chewy π . The sauce was a bit tangy (maybe we squeezed too much lemon π€£). π¦ Spicy Crab β Not very spicy, but packed with crab meat β tasty! π Linguini β The biggest surprise! Looks simple, but the sauce was incredibly fragrant β highly recommended! π° Tiramisu β Nothing extraordinaryβ¦ Iβd say itβs better than Whole Foodsβ, but the presentation was a bit plain π’. β οΈ One note: Their pasta tends to be quite firm/al dente. If you prefer softer pasta, you might not love it. #ItalianRestaurant #RestaurantReview #Philadelphia #PhillyFood #PhillyLife π₯
