Just okay, did not live up to the hype for us. Duck was well prepared but a very tasty sauce drizzled on the side was sparse, only drops 🙄 the side pasta with add’l duck meat was okay (too much meat, needed more flavour). Scallop main dish had 3 scallops 😑 for $35 - ridiculous, and the risotto had waaaaay too much truffle oil, it was overpowering. Mussel appy was pretty good but the pairing with fries just doesn’t work, we paid extra for bread which was much better. Kind loud and cramped where we were seated lol guess one and done.

This restaurant is unmatched in terms of service, food, location, ambiance, everything. I’ve been here twice and both times wanted to go back the next day. This restaurant has a vibe unlike any other. It’s truly an experience and we will be back again, no doubt.

Carino is so fun - Japanese and Italian fusion is always entertaining for those who haven't been before. We had chicken karaage, wagyu bucatini, ramen, and the wonderful gyosagna (my favourite). Started off pretty quiet at 12pm but was bustling and noisy by 1pm. Great value and a cool spot. Great recommendations from our server.

Overall our experience was wonderful. Josh made an incredible custom cocktail, so delicious! From appetizers to dessert , food was amazing. Highly recommend getting the tea! Only negative aspect for me was that we were never offered another beverage. I’m assuming because they try to manage the two hour time period, we ended up having to rush out during dessert for overstaying.
