Phenomenal pasta, the best I’ve had in New York. The setting was gorgeous on the back patio and the service was very wonderful with the incredible executive chef Sylvia, stopping by our table to say hey to friends of ours who knew her. We were blown away with this pasta and my dear friends at La Spiga make the best pasta in Seattle. We were kind of mind blown as each dish kept dropping, offering new flavors, the perfect textures and flavors we both never tasted and were familiar with. Do yourself a favor and go with friends so you can order more and take the recommendations of the server and people around you. I can’t wait to come back to have another legendary meal here. Don’t miss the oxtail!!

Perfect evening from start to finish. We had a reservation for 4 outside. Server was great! We had mezcal margaritas which were not on menu and the bartender made them delicious. Food was exceptional, highly recommend the lasagna and bucatini - pasta so fresh and sauces just right! Cant wait to go back soon.

Entire entire was a 10/10. the ambience is fantastic, beautiful backyard seating area and really friendly staff. the food was amazing- highlight was definitely the branzino with an insane purée. the pasta was the truffle special and the smoked spaghetti were good but not as good as the branzino. great experience, great size portions. will be coming back!!!

Cute atmosphere- almost bistro like. One of the best bread baskets I’ve had in a while - the tomato focaccia was especially delicious. But the olive oil was terrible! I ordered the Agnolotti- which had chicken, beef and lime as the driving flavors. Very savory and tasty, portion size was okay wish there was more. Would order again! My friend ordered the gnudi. I may be picky because I ate gnudi a lot in Italy, but I felt her dish fell very flat. It was a bland ball of dough not flavorful or light like gnudi I’ve known before. That being said the sauce and mushrooms that accompanied it were a delight. Drinks- I got an aperol spritz that had an olive in it - very strange and tasted mostly like seltzer. Based on the overall price being $100 for two I feel this place was okay. My dish was great, but my friends wasn’t and the drinks were 3/10.

After reading so many positive reviews, I was really looking forward to eating some pasta. I left really disappointed and also super hungry, because I couldn’t finish my dish. Given the price point of this restaurant, I was expecting the entire experience to be better. A couple things that left me disappointed: - I got an app with prosciutto and mozzarella and the olive oil that came with some bread had clearly gone bad. I’ve actually never tasted stale olive oil till today and you can definitely taste the difference. - We waited a long time for our mains and when the server came with them, he kept gesturing at me with the come hither motion to hand over the water bottle faster. It felt a little weird and I wouldn’t have mentioned this if that was the only thing that happened but then he never came back with our water bottle. - All the mains were so salty that we couldn’t finish them — the agnolotti, lamb ragu, and the lemon risotto special. I took a picture (some bites taken out of it) of the risotto — just strangely plated and the yellow bits tasted soapy. - Generally slow service as well. I wouldn’t have spent so much time writing this if the total bill wasn’t so expensive — $113 total! We did get the risotto off the bill, which I appreciated, but overall, this is just not worth the price. I would recommend going somewhere else if you’re looking to eat a nice meal.

My best friend and I loved this place! We sat indoors at first, but the weather was lovely, so we moved to the outdoor backyard patio, which was very cute and green. The restaurant itself gives off a comforting, homey atmosphere. Moving on to the food, I found it interesting that some of their dishes stuck to traditional Italian cuisine, and some had unique elements! For example, the Fiori di Zucca (fried zucchini blossom) was as you'd expect -- crunchy, buttery, and stuffed with velvety cheese. The Agnolotti was tender, and you could tell that the pasta was homemade; however, it came with a very earthy smokiness that I don't think is common in Italian dishes. In any case, their food is delicious. Most of all, their customer service is exceptional. The host and our waiter were terrific, and all staff embodied Italian hospitality. I love this place!

This place is such a stellar spot! Great wine list and incredible menu! The ravioli special of the night was absolutely amazing foie gras raviolis with crispy sage and hazelnut! The cannolis were the perfect way to wrap up the meal! Definitely recommend checking out this place

Yes, I know three stars? But let me preface that. I would go back a second time. Maybe even a third. It seems that there are some types of Italian cuisine that use a minimum amount of salt and pepper. Perhaps this is one of them. Honest I don't really know. So we are just a bit of the bite of salt or the heat of a touch of pepper short for that fourth star. Maybe I should have just asked. But there is a difference sprinkled on rather than cooked in. Loved the ambiance of the backyard. So I encourage you all to go. I'll be back too!

We had a fantastic dinner here. The scallops are a must and all the pastas are phenomenal. The four of us ordered a pasta each but ended up ordering a 5th because every dish was that good. The desserts we had were just as tasty. The staff was great and we just had a wonderful time.

Amazing experience at Larina. From the entrance, staff welcomed us with smile:-) Overall atmosphere of the restaurant seemed to be organized and clean. Before we got our table, we kindly asked the staff if we could take the seat that was just wrapping up and they certainly did it for us. Not only visual of the dishes were amazing, but the taste of it was another level. Amazing spaghetti, lasagna, and potatos Highly recommend, especially for early noon or late noon brunch! Location is also lowkey and cozy!

Tremendous lesser-known Italian restaurant in Ft. Greene. Well-priced, some unconventional pastas, with everything tremendously executed. Already looking forward to my next visit

This spot is always flourishing. It’s a sure sign of delicious food, delicate cocktails, and great service mixed with a relaxed and welcome vibe. I’ve been twice (so far) and the first time I forgot take photos because I was so excited about the experience. Let’s just say I’m a huge fan. If you’re reading this and considering checking it out… just go!

Although may be not the best way to describe the food, there was a modern-rustic influence on the food and the ambiance. The agnolotti was a nice solid choice

Discovered this gem right before closing time and thank God that I did because the food was superb! I chose the smoked spaghetti which is a staple at this restaurant from the Italian born chef and the recipe has not changed since it’s inception this dish receives a 5/5 from me! The venue is very charming and even has a back patio with heaters.

Ok listen up. My siblings have Italian spouses, one who owns a restaurant in Italy, so I had high hopes and high expectations for this place. Let me say it EXCEEDED my expectations and then some! It's bittersweet that I dont live in New York because most of my money would go towards their food and drinks, but now I have to plan a trip back to BK because I'm still dreaming of their pasta, ravioli, and fish. Cocktails were superb too. This restaurant would make for a great date setting as it's interior as well as exterior is intimate and gorgeous all around. Staff was super friendly, quick, and attentive. 10/10 would come back here again. Great, now I'm hungry again.

The staff at LaRina was very welcoming and friendly. They were also friendly to my dog as we sat outside, asking if she needed water. They made great suggestions and made sure our glasses were never empty. This was our second time there and it gets better every time. Can’t wait to go back. Thanks to all today.

Overall rating: 4.5 My friend and I went because I guess the chef is famous or something. Um.. unfortunately I didn’t like the food. I really liked the lasagna and will definitely be back if that’s what I’m craving. Here are the other things I ordered, so if you wanted to order other items - they might be better: Stracciatella - 4/5 this was pretty good! And the 2nd thing I liked apart for the lasagna. The peas were so refreshing Asparagi - .5/5 apparently when it says “crispy”, they actually mean fried. I was expecting roasted asparagus. This was not good. And didn’t feel healthy at all. Gnocchi - 3/5 eh. Was it the most amazing thing ever? No. Was it terrible? No. But when you have it in juxtaposition with the bomb lasagna, you’re taste buds can tell the difference between really good and on par. Lasagna - 5/5 so many other people say this is the best and for good reason. The flavor, yum. The taste, ooo. The layers, chefs kiss. Thiss is it. As a usual dessert girl, nothing stood out to me. I was already upset by all the items, didn’t seem worth it to me (especially with the price tag I was paying). The ambiance was really cute and the service was nice. But not enough for me to want to come back. Recommend giving it a try and trying other items but these 😁

Tasty and authentic italian spot! Attentive and accommodating servers, we sat outside in the front with plenty of space. They also have a cute private terrace in the back for patrons as well!

Perfect gem of a restaurant. The servers were super attentive, the food was amazingly fresh and absolutely delicious. The smoked spaghetti was something I've never had and now, probably something I can't live without! The lasagna, which I believe is only served on weekends, is another standout. The prosciutto and burrato was so creamy and salty with the crusty bread! Just phenomenal pairings all around. You must go here!

Food was bland. I tried the veal appetizer and the gnocchi special with rabbit. Not at all worth it. The complimentary fig bread was good but the other slices had plastic pieces in it 😰

Amazing. My husband and I chose LaRina as the place to go for our fancy honeymoon dinner thanks to a recommendation from a total stranger. This total stranger happened to be from Italy and cooked at a different Italian restaurant in NY. He also said that LaRina was "THE BEST" 🤣 Welp, I think he's right. The atmosphere is definitely nice, but not pretentious or uncomfortable, which is also an accurate description of the wonderful staff. I felt very comfortable and not judged after a sweaty 2 mile walk turned jog there in order to make our reservation time. The handmade pasta, deserts, cocktails, and breads were...superb. I've been a professional cook for nearly 20 years, and places like this are what keep me inspired.

Elegant dining experience. We sat in their heated backyard it was around 7pm and not super cold but was chilly so the heater was perfect.

A bit expensive, pasta dishes were very good. Loved the wine.

Amazing food and a great experience. Would love coming back here with friends. Had the chicken Milanese which was so delish. Paired with a lemon mayo and a dressed arugula salad which was perfect. Each part of a dish is specifically tailored for the whole meal and not just for appearance. They have taken the time and thought behind each dish on the menu. I highly recommend coming here with friends, family, and even for a date.

I am still astonished at how exceedingly amazing the entire experience was at this restaurant. A friend was gifted a pasta making class session and opted to have me and two other friends share the experience with her. From the time we walked in I felt like I was in Italy. The warmth and hospitality of the staff was heavily reminiscent of wholesome loving Italian culture. We felt like family. Chef Silvia is the most warm and personable human you could ever meet! She definitely is a master of her craft. With extreme love and patience she taught us step by step how to make the pasta. Explaining the mechanics and the history along the way. Each dish that she plated, including the pasta that we made was an out of this world experience to taste. All the ingredients fresh and beautifully paired. Every single drink that I tried made my palette scream with satisfaction. The price point was so excellent for everything that was available for purchase! I have to take every single person I know there to experience the magic!

Some of the best food I’ve ever had. The squash gnocchi and tiramisu are to die for, but everything we had was great. The waitstaff was helpful and knowledgeable and the service was great.

Limited vegetarian options of which the main course was excellent but the appetizers were lacking. The wine selection was pretty good. Was a bit disappointed with the Pomodori appetizer. For some reason, the EVOO served along with the bread was bitter. Maybe that's a feature of that oil. If they can improve their vegetarian appetizer options, that would be awesome. The dessert was excellent. Great ambiance in the backyard and friendly staff.

A delightful neighborhood Italian restaurant with ample outdoor seating, creative yet simple pasta dishes, friendly staff, and a little highend grocery setup in the back. What a gem!

Excellent wine, pasta, and vibe. Definitely would recommend! Great covered garden out back and out front. Beautiful spot.

Delicious Italian menu with an incredible curated wine selection. We went for two of their daily specials, the fluke crudo and mushroom risotto which were divine. The tiramisu is also worth saving room for as well!

I recently attended a wedding here and the experience was exceptional. The food is divine and the service was excellent. I would be a regular if I lived nearby. I cannot recommend LaRina highly enough for a special event. (I will assume that regular dining is equally good.)

Eat here! Best bread, best lasagne, best carbonara and aperol spritz we’ve ever had.

The most delicious pasta and tiramisu I've ever eaten. The food was so fresh, the service was incredible, and the restaurant itself was gorgeous. We had to get some fresh baked bread to go! I hope to get another chance to come back in the future!
