The food is really good, more quality than quantity, and that's fine.
On the two occasions I've been, I've tried several dishes, all fish-based, and I've enjoyed everything from appetizers to first and second courses.
I'm not giving it 5 stars only because we sometimes felt a bit neglected by the service (excessive waits when there weren't many people, and a coffee we ordered, confirmed but never arrived, because it hadn't been communicated to the bar).
We were also a bit disappointed to have paid a cover charge (€2.50) for a 7-month-old baby, for whom, yes, they provided a high chair, but who didn't touch anything except the things we brought, even cutlery and napkins. From what I know, this is a legitimate but very rare occurrence.
That said, I think we'll be back because the food is truly worth it.

I recently had lunch at Lu Carratino and I must say it was a five-star experience in every way. This restaurant perfectly embodies the spirit of traditional Italian cuisine: an authentic atmosphere, excellent ingredients, and truly exquisite service.
Our dining experience began with a selection of excellent appetizers, rich and carefully prepared. Top-quality cured meats and perfectly preserved vegetables prepared the palate for what was to come.
But it was the first course section that left us speechless: simply delicious. Every bite was a journey through authentic traditional flavors, with al dente pasta and rich, flavorful sauces that demonstrate great culinary mastery.
The true soul of the restaurant, however, lies in the extraordinary quality of its ingredients. The careful selection of suppliers and the love for excellent ingredients are evident in every dish, from the extra virgin olive oil and the sweetest tomatoes to the finest cheeses and cured meats.
Andrea, the waiter, played a key role in making the evening unforgettable. He was available and professional at every turn. His attentive and knowledgeable service, combined with his skillful recommendation of dishes, demonstrated truly commendable customer service.
I highly recommend this gastronomic gem to all lovers of good food. Whether it's a romantic dinner, a family lunch, or a gathering of friends, Lu Carratino is the perfect choice for those seeking all-round excellence: from flavors to service.
I'll be back very soon to try the rest of the menu!

A well-decorated, welcoming, and clean restaurant (a characteristic not always found in all restaurants).
A wide selection, from the wood-fired pizza oven to the seafood selection. The selection of raw appetizers, including carpaccio, tartare, and everything the sea has to offer, is truly excellent. The oyster selection is unexpected. The catch is always different, proving the absolute freshness of the fish.
Try the scampi with truffle: TOP.
The wine list is well-stocked, and the staff is knowledgeable.
The bill is in line with the quality of the food and drink.
We will definitely be back.

Excellent food, well-cooked, tasty, and fresh.
The waiters were kind and attentive.
Unfortunately, the service was a bit slow, but it was packed with customers.
I had spaghetti and crudo with shrimp and zucchini, which was really good.
Flavors that take you back in time
Authentic, amazing meat
Homemade tortelli with braised beef that's out of this world!!
