What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Carolino Cocina is highly praised for its excellent food quality, generous portions, and friendly, attentive service, with staff members like Valeria and Paula often singled out for making meals unforgettable.

"Very nice restaurant with good food! We made a reservation in advance and would recommend doing that. They do take walk ins. We went at 7:30 and it was pretty empty but started really picking up at 8 with people arriving.
Service staff were kind. If you want wine, make sure to mention it to the server because we and some other tables weren’t given a wine list when we sat down.
Overall great experience!"

"Food is excellent, service is good, the music sucks, sorry but not sorry.
They are playing this what I called “runway” music, super pretentious at such rustic setting. If today this is a hotel cocktail bar then this music will fit. But such cute and rustic restaurant with a home style should be anything but that. Just jazz or anything will do.
Thank you for the great meal. The steak was excellent, the deep fried layered potatoes is a great surprise. Highly recommend."

"A very easy 1-star review from me. I had the 5-corse menu and only the first serving was good. I overpaid through a third party vendor, but that did not factor my final rating. Service was fine, but not of the ordinary. The wine pairing was not impressive."
