Wow, where do I begin. Thank you Cara Mia, especially Veronica and Michael for great service yesterday. We held a celebration of life there yesterday with around 20 people, they went above and beyond and completed every request we had. The food was fantastic, as always, the drinks were flowing, the service was perfect, and it was great to see old friends. If you are having a private party, this is your spot. Veronica and Michael came in early on their day off and Michael's birthday to take care of us. Plus the kitchen staff came in before they normally open to make our day special. Thanks again from the whole family.
Amazing service for a family Birthday party. We had 16 and Veronica and her assistant took very good care to see that we had everything we needed! Also, the food was delicious as always. Thank you so very much for making the birthday party perfect!
The food was delicious! Everything we ordered had such good flavor. Everyone was incredibly kind and made my experience wonderful.
Terrific food and the service was fast. We ordered several dishes including the Lobster Bisque. Amazing! The server Veronica was funny and polite. The ambiance was great. Highly recommended!
BEST ITALIAN FOOD IN THE INLAND EMPIRE!!!! Cara Mia catered my baby shower of 200 people! I would show the food but it got finished in under an hour!! I ordered 3 trays of the penne Alfredo with chicken and 3 trays of their, to die for, pesto tortellini. Both pastas were absolutely amazing! Navi, the manager, helped me with my order and this has been my second time having Cara Mia/Navi cater my event. I can tell you for sure that Cara Mia will be catering my next events and you should highly consider to have them cater yours as well! Thank you so much!!!!
We came here for the first time this week because we were craving Italian. We came back today (Saturday) and brought some friends. We love the burrata bruschetta !! So good! The bread is soft but crunchy. So far everything we've order has been full of flavor. Service is amazing. Esther was our server both times and she's friendly and always gives her recommendations. Live music on Saturdays is a must! And don't skip on the panna Cotta! It's 10/10
Original plan was to go to Soup 'n Fresh. After seeing the very long line, we decided not to wait in line so we stumbled upon Cara Mia. Since we already parked, we decided to give this place a try. Didn't know what to expect, but the restaurant is very cozy and welcoming. We were seated right away. Water arrived shortly with our breads and butter. We were so hungry that we devoured the warm and delicious breads after it hits our table. We then proceeded to order our foods. While waiting for our foods, we were pleasantly entertained by a lady singer. Her singing was quite entertaining. Every guests there enjoyed her performance. Before you know it, our foods arrived. We were pleasantly surprised by the large portions of each dishes. The foods were delicious and since the portions were more than we expected, we ended up taking the rest home. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves and would come back again in the future.
