My boyfriend scoped out LaRina ahead of our Brooklyn trip due to their chef competing on Top Chef…read more Needless to say, I can see why she was on Top Chef. Food was phenomenal! We started with the Crocchette and the Polpo. For entrees we got the Pappardelle Al Funghi and the Agnolotti Del Plin. For dessert we shared the Panna Cotta. All the food was excellent. Octopus was cooked perfectly. The Crocchettes were super flavorful. Both pasta dishes were divine! We actually switched plates halfway through the meal so we could enjoy both dishes. The Panna Cotta was the perfect ending. We made a reservation about a week in advance to be safe. I'm glad we did because the restaurant filled up quickly after opening. We reserved a table in the dining room table due to not knowing the what the patio situation was like. But it does look like their patio is enclosed for the colder months. The service was great. The food came out hot and fresh. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable on the menu. I would absolutely return to LaRina the next time I'm visiting the city.

The whole restaurant is well curated and had super cute, classy, decor. We loved our seating outside. Food was very good. To start, we got the green fried tomatoes that were that night's special. I am so glad we did as the whole table loved them! I also really liked the lasagna and bistecca. The agnolotti del pin was good, but there was so little of it! I wasn't even that hungry but had to beg my friends for some of their food after finishing mine because they saw how little my dish served. The smoked spaghetti was way too woody tasting in my opinion, too. Service was awesome - we may have been a bit rowdy as a group for our birthday girl, but our server was awesome and even brought out a tiramisu and ice cream for us. Thank you!!

Such a amazing pasta, and for a great price! I went to their other location years ago and had a…read moregreat experience there too. This location has a backyard so there's plenty of seating. My friend and I shared the spicy rigatoni, limoncello tart, and spaghetti and meatballs. You can't really go wrong with anything on the menu. Definitely going back!

Forma pasta for the win, to end a wonderful Easter. Lasagna,…read morespicy Alla vodka pasta, fettuccini fungi, bolognese, kale salad with seared salmon, lemonade and 2 glasses of wine, we feasted. Lasagna wasn't anything special in my opinion, but my family likes it, the spicy alla vodka was delicious, not too spicy, but spicy enough haha, the fettuccini was good, the bolognese was great and salad is always a yes for me. Almost forgot the bread, the complimentary bread is delicious. Service and vibe was great and super affordable!
