Osteria Carlina Tribeca

Excellent meal from start to finish. Very refined, and surprisingly light and delicious. Flavors are classic but also unique, and pasta was cooked perfectly. Portion size is great. The giandujotto dessert was also probably the best dessert I’ve had in years. Also Barbara, our server, was so kind, friendly, and attentive. Definitely will come back.

🗽🇮🇹🇮🇹🗽 Fantastic Experience! The food is absolutely delicious—made with top-quality ingredients and full of authentic Northern Italian flavor. Our server, Valeria, was wonderful. She guided us through the menu and wine list with such care. 🫒🥖 We started with house-made focaccia and marinated olives, followed by a traditional battuta di fassona from Piedmont—fresh, tender, and perfectly seasoned. 🍝🍝🍷🍷 For mains, we had the mafaldine ai funghi and the agnolotti stuffed with slow-cooked short ribs and pork shoulder in a butter-sage sauce—both were incredible. The wines Valeria recommended, Barolo and Brunello di Montalcino, were perfect pairings. 🍰🍸☕️ We finished with the giandujotto and a fun twist on dessert—make-your-own espresso martini. Manager Raul was also very attentive. You can feel the passion and teamwork from start to finish. We love this place and can’t wait to come back. love this Place!!!! Recomendadisimo este lugar si quieran comer una rica pasta, buen vino, tienen pescados también. Para mí esta entre los TOP Restaurantes de NYC🗽

Phenomenal meal. Staff/service and food were some of the best we have ever had in the city. Fresh pasta and fish galore and standouts were definitely the house made focaccia and steak. Shoutout to the singer and pianist. This place hasn’t been infiltrated by influencers so a 10/10 for me LOL

Five stars for this fine Italian establishment! I had a magical birthday dinner at Osteria Carlina Tribeca, thanks to a surprise date from my boyfriend — and everything from the food to the service was outstanding. We were warmly welcomed and seated by the manager, TJ, who was a knowledgeable and gracious host. Our server, Vincent, was incredibly kind and attentive throughout the night, with additional support from Felipe who made sure we were well taken care of. We started with a bottle of bubbles and warm, melt-in-your-mouth focaccia fatta in casa with whipped butter. For appetizers, we had the Polpettine Langarole — perfectly prepared — along with the Insalata Carlina, a bed of delicious greens, and their special risotto balls, which my boyfriend couldn’t stop talking about! Our mains were the Tajarin alla Bolognese, beautifully balanced in flavor and salt, and the Involtini di Pollo, served with a rich wine reduction that I’m still craving. We ended the night with a classic tiramisu, paired with an espresso martini and a Sergio Leone cocktail — both expertly crafted by Kenny, the amazing bartender. Every dish was thoughtfully executed (thank you, Chef Ivan!), and the entire team made my birthday feel so special. Grazie mille to the Osteria Carlina Tribeca crew — I can’t wait to come back and explore more of the menu!

Exquisite! Delectable! Impeccable service! I sat at the bar with one of the best bartenders in the business - Rei! His recommendations were spot on! The people I met were tremendous and kind. I will come back in a heart beat! And I did before I left NYC and Kenneth was terrific and the food was delectable again!

Hands down the best service we’ve ever had. Coming from the restaurant industry ourselves, we’re not easily impressed…but Raul blew us away! Incredible cocktails, fantastic food, a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and Raul made it ALL unforgettable.

We stopped in last minute, no reservation and they were able to seat us at a great outside table. We were served by Ricardo who was phenomenal, every recommendation he had was spot on. We had oysters, a salad, the bolognese and the lemon pasta and it was to die for. If your looking for a great meal and a great ambience this is the place!

Such a wonderful experience at Osteria Carlina! This spot truly feels like a hidden gem in Tribeca. The food is fantastic, the atmosphere warm and inviting - and Raoul, the manager, is exceptional! He goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Can’t wait to come back!

This place made my birthday feel like magic! My boyfriend surprised me with dinner at Osteria Carlina Tribeca, and it ended up being one of the best meals I've had in NYC. From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was top-tier. We were greeted and seated by the manager, TJ, who was so kind and welcoming. Our server, Vincent, was super attentive and warm all night, and Felipe also made sure we were well taken care of. We started with bubbles and the focaccia fatta in casa -- soft, warm, and paired with whipped butter that melted right in. For starters, we had the Polpettine Langarole (SO good), the Insalata Carlina, and their special risotto balls that my boyfriend wouldn't stop raving about. For mains: the Tajarin alla Bolognese was perfectly balanced, and the Involtini di Pollo came with a rich wine reduction I'm still dreaming about. We wrapped things up with their tiramisu (classic and delicious) and two cocktails -- an espresso martini and the Sergio Leone -- both made by the amazing bartender Kenny. Huge thanks to Chef Ivan for such a beautifully prepared meal. Every dish was full of care and flavor, and the entire experience just felt special. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu. Grazie mille, Osteria Carlina!

This a 5 star spot; however, seating here is tough. Our table was right next to the table abutting us with no space to go around besides crawl to get out. The table next to us which was also abutting had the same issue and two different couples didn't want to deal with the same situation. We however prevailed and didn't want to wait to get a regular reasonably spaced table. The bread was well worth getting as well as the burrata appetizer special. I then proceeded with the Agnolotti alla Piemontese which was great. The Duck pasta my girlfriend got tasted like chicken noodle soup and was surprisingly good although she admitted mine was superior. Highly recommend coming here, this would be a 5 star restaurant if they had a separate seating section on their reservation site for those being served up again the wall/entrance area. At least this way people will know what they'll be getting into and not expect regular spaced seating!

This place is a little out of the way, but some of the pastas are somewhat unique. I'm not sure I'd go back unless I try the truffle menu. The restaurant is a little on the small side, but feels like a cozy family owned spot. The server had some good recommendations since we wanted to order 3 pastas. The duck pasta stood out most in terms of flavor even though it doesn't look the most appetizing. I was also surprised by the hazelnut cake which had great texture from the chocolate and hazelnut cream on top.

Seemed pretty similar to the West Village location except a bit smaller inside. People say it's noisy but I was with a group of fourteen so my comment on that is not relevant. Don't be fooled by the weirdly depressed rating, this is one of the best Italian restaurants in the neighborhood.

Nelson was great, 0asta was fresh and perfect, we will return. Great vibe, loud BUT easy to talk and hang out!

This is a quaint restaurant in Tribeca. There were not too many table but a nice size bar. The wait staff was very attentive and kept refilling our water glasses. When you need a recommendation, the manager is there to help. We had the pizza and octopus to start and then proceeded to the lobster tortellini, beef cheeks, and the risotto. The main course was the amazing sea bass, and short ribs. Of course we had to have dessert though we were pretty full. Tiramisu, chocolate cake with ice cream, crème bulee. We had a relaxing, enjoyable meal. Hope to come back at the spring progresses.

Food , drinks , ambiance, everything was great at the Tribeca location ! The bartender Rei was wonderful and is the biggest reason why we'll be back there in the future !

Lovely meal here tonight. Staff were great and there is an understated elegance that makes this restaurant really cosy and comfortable. The food was maybe not quite as good as we expected, but there were a few stand outs. The toppings on the soup were delicious, and the truffle fries were also very good. The pasta had a nice sauce and the carpaccio was light and fresh. I'd go back and sit at the bar next time, get a drink and a main course and enjoy the atmosphere.

Delicious food in an intimate setting. Perfect for a family or business meal. Incredible menu with care given to people with food allergies. Attentive staff and great wine. Highly recommend!

Fantastic: quality food, fantastic drinks, bartender is personable and the service is great. Would come back again.

Love this place! Authentic and delicious Italian food with a great wine selection. If you sit at the bar say hi to Kenny...he will help you choose a nice glass of wine. All the pastas are great and you must get the focaccia bread!

prenotato e venduto il tavolo sono stato cacciato dal direttore con tre bambine avendo la prenotazione. Vergognoso!

The restaurant jams in as many tables as they can resulting in a rather unrelaxed, noisy, chaotic environment. Sort of like eating in a subway car. The food was actually very good, albeit the dishes came out late and some were cold. When we sent back one cold dish to be reheated they did not bother to bring it back. The prices are high; i would have expected a much better experience. This is my 2nd time there and I do not expect to come back.

Our 3rd New Year's Eve and, as always lovely. I think this year was the best yet, all 3 of us loved our appetizers and entrees. The wine was good although the mark up is far too high. Salad was tasty and the agnelotti hit the spot. Wait staff and ambience were great, I do miss the outside, heated attached shed but alas, times change.

Phenomenal. The service, food and atmosphere is beyond amazing. We enjoyed every minute of our dining experience.

Awesome place! Great food, service, and ambiance. It's very comfortable inside and nice. The food was amazing!!!! The cocktails were 10/10. On top of that, they had an Italian singer there last night (Sunday) who was spectacular! I highly recommend it. You'll be spending some coin but it's well worth it.

If you want a loud place full of corporate diners bores, a rushed unprofessional service (taking your wine glass right away when you finish your drink - go for my hand next time!), harassing text messages worse than your mom when you were a teenager (1h30 for a party of 2 no more! Text us if you're 10 min late! Press 1 to confirm! We'll charge you if you don't show up!)... all this for an oversalted terrible food at a hefty price, come to Osteria Carlina Tribeca. I agree with the person who wrote that positive reviews must be fake. They must! The food is REALLY a shame, the crowd is subpar, and the room is unbearably loud. We asked the manager twice if he could lower the music and twice he pretended he would but, of course, did not. That's service for you. Meanwhile, the head waiter - the only decent staff person - had no voice left, obviously suffering from having to shout all evening long to say the specials that no one could hear so no one ordered. Did I say it was L-O-U-D? I guess that's why they charged us twice for one dish, they just could not hear us say 'one'. Though, at this point, we did not want to eat anything double from such a lousy place. We quicked ourselves out fast and we'll never be back.

I'm pretty sure most of the reviews are fake as this is the worst restaurant experience I've had in NYC. The food was not cooked and both main dishes that my guest and I ordered were sent back to the kitchen (Agnolotti and the Tonnato). They replaced these with the Pollo alla Valdostana which was widely inedible. The bartender was very nice but the drinks were also not good. I paid for the meal and tipped well despite the awful experience and then notified the manager the next day that they were just probably having an off day (July 4th) in an email, and instead of apologizing he sent me an email back with insults.

We came to this TriBeCa locations and west village in the last year many times and were very dissatisfied this time, service was ok but not like before and food was horrible, such a pity because it used to be one of our favourite Italians. No flavour and small portions, dishes don't make sense. Very weird experience, I do not know what changed but was not like before, what a pity.

I hosted a 14-person family-style wine pairing dinner at Osteria Carlina's Tribeca restaurant. I worked with Tess, their event coordinator, and TJ, their Sommelier, to craft a 4-course meal. Our group was warmly by Raul, the manager, and Nelson, the head waiter, kept the service on point throughout the meal. The wines matched wonderfully with each course. Each dish was very good to outstanding with plenty of food for all. Our team kept the bartender busy and all the cocktails were perfect. I highly recommend this team and venue for your events or a fabulous date night dinner.

Food was excellent but maitre'd was awful. They advertise that they want parties of 4 or more to finish within 2 hours. After an hour and 40 minutes he came over and asked us to leave saying the next party had been waiting for 30 minutes. Even after we had ordered two bottles of wine. Have eaten at hundreds of NYC restaurants and never treated so badly.

Major disappointment. Not worth the time , money or calories. No dish was executed well. The menu leads you to believe you are about to have high quality authentic Italian food. What you get is subpar flavors made with third rate ingredients. Even the bread services is subpar. To add insult to injury it is over priced . We tried truffle pasta which was cardboard with butter, chicken liver pasta , Barolo risotto, beef cheeks and scallops all far below standards of a basic trattoria and this restaurant claims to be Osteria.

One of the best Italian place in the city and definitely a neighborhood staple! Great for a date night or a special celebration. Highly recommend!

I happen to be in the neighborhood on-location for a film shoot and while searching around the neighborhood for a place to eat on our dinner break I really just picked this restaurant by random ...and omg I am so glad I did! To be fair, they had just opened for dinner so I did have the entire place to myself which meant I had the staff all to myself and they were all incredibly attentive ...they were so kind and truly genuine that I have the feeling they would have been so even if it were packed. Nelson was my main server and he was so helpful with recommendations... he was able to make recommendations that I didn't even know I wanted but somehow he knew and he was 100% correct in everything! (I am a bit of a hardcore creature of habit and don't usually deviate from my preferences but I didn't even mind) They did not have the bourbon I wanted but his suggestion made me not even care. He said he had "something comparable" and quite frankly I wouldn't even had known it was not my favorite if he hadn't told me. I ordered the Filetto di manzo and it was superbly cooked (even the temp was not how I usually preferred it but again Nelson knew how it would be best and again he was right!) and the first bite was the kind that just makes you pause and want to savor the moment. I ordered a side of mashed potatoes and quite frankly I can't even describe how good they were. I wasn't going to get dessert but I overheard Nelson describing the homemade ladyfingers in the Tiramisu and I just had to get one to go! I cannot recommend this place enough. It will now take its place on my top 3 favorite restaurants in NYC. I can't wait to go back and try more of their menu. Thank you Nelson!
