“Jazmine was such a great and patient server for myself and my partner. We came in a bit before close (go figure) and she made us feel no rush and went above and beyond for us. Such a sweetheart and attentive individual, thank you again Jazmine we appreciated your kindness and sweet hospitality!“

“Great place. Food was excellent. Service excellent. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. They explained how a dish was made and i had to order it and it was just as good as it was explained to me, excellent. A favorite in my book. I can't wait to try other dishes on their menu. Thank you Gusto for our first experience. We will be back.“

“I've been a Vince's customer all my 70 years. Not your typical Italian restaurant, just a spaghetti house, although the menu has been expanded recently to include lasagna. Always good, family friendly, just don't get hungry for spaghetti on Wednesday. To my knowledge they've never been open on Wednesday.“

“Food and Sevice was good!!“

“Delicious food, good atmosphere“

I'm always looking for great pizza and this place has it! if you like lots of cheese on your pizza you'll want to try this place. The pepperoni is cooked just right and the crust I asked for well done PERFECT! If you're a pizza connoisseur give this place a try.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review

I had such a wonderful experience at the Olive Garden in Ontario today! Our waitress, Abby, was beyond amazing. She went above and beyond from the moment she greeted us warm, attentive, and truly made us feel taken care of. Her white-glove level of service is something you don’t see often, and it honestly made the whole meal feel special.

The food was fresh, delicious, and the portions were generous, but Abby’s outstanding service is what truly stood out. She’s a gem, and because of her, this was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Hey guys i forget say, we never no waiting for long time, we when and get in, seat and our server was there ready for all, I order, calamari, (entrées) garlic bread, salad, soup, I order salmon was perfect size with vegetables, my favorite eat a soup, my husband order shrimp pasta, Mouhamed S, was great and give us good attention.. Thank You“

“Disappointed in salmon pesto linguine. No pine nuts. Not nearly as good as in past. My 100 year old friend asked for small dish of gnocchi and we were told it was impossible. Both food and service have gone downhill“

“We Loved everything we tried - such Wonderful organic food, prepared to perfection! We also enjoyed the unique old world atmosphere, and the service was excellent ! Thank you John, for a night we will never forget, and food we will have a hard time ever matching anywhere else !“

“Very homey Italian restaurant, with tasteful decor on the walls, ambient music, and dim (but not dark) lighting. Ordered calamari, which was not bad per say, but lacked any crunch- the sauces the accompanied it had little flavor, to the already, fairly bland, calamari.
Although I did not order the salad, I was told that the dressing was pretty good. The salmon bisque was also just okay- nothing really stood out about it.
The sourdough garlic bread is absolutely delicious (though a pain to cut into neatly!). Lasagne and gnocchi dishes were both equally flavorful. Not pictured was the tiramisu with the delicious mascarpone, which is enough to share amongst two.
Although not something that can be entirely controlled for, it can get a bit loud inside from the other patrons.“

“Excellent customer service! And, best Detroit-style pizza 🍕 for 1500 miles 😋“

“their hot subs are great... my wife loves the French bread they are made with. you can't get any fresher pasta...love watching it as it is being made. my go to sandwich 🥪 is the meatball with provolone. it's worth the drive from Rancho Cucamonga when you are looking for a quality product using fresh ingredients“

“We came to the shopping center to try a Soup and Salad joint but apparently it’s a fad right now with a ridiculous wait so we pivoted and took a look to see what else was in the parking lot. We decided on Cara Mia. All I can say is “wow!” The food here is fantastic. Warm ambiance. Friendly staff. Delicious food. The Fried Calamari is fried just right, a generous appetizer portion lightly breaded that doesn’t skimp on the actual calamari. We had angel hair pasta and the meat lasagna and both were fantastic! And the prices are incredibly reasonable, especially considering the size of the portions. We have a new Italian place on our list.“

“Best appetizers in town! Food was amazing“

“I had an amazing experience at this restaurant. The service was excellent, and they made accommodations to my liking, which I really appreciated. The food was incredibly authentic, definitely different from the last place I visited, which felt more Americanized. I watched them make my order as well, they move fast and make sure their area is clean.“

“The mushroom pasta dish is delicious!!! I wish it was always on the menu!!!! Love the fresh made pasta!!!!! Best pasta place in Rancho Cucamonga!!“

“This is our second restaurant in La Vern we visited. A very cozy and friendly atmosphere. The area is semi residential and commercial. A perfect suburban setting. Inside the restaurant doesn't have many seating. Mostly are outside. We thought it'd be cold, but surprisingly it was not. Those heaters worked very well. We ordered some appetizers and a plate of salmon with angel pasta.
Food was delicious. Service was superb.
Parking was a little challenging. We found some parking around the 2nd block on the street.
No complain though. It is suburban!“

“Spicy Red Pesto Vodka Linguine with shrimp 🤤“

“Everything was fabulous atmosphere, service food was amazing great drinks“

“Had one of the best experience at this Olive Garden my waiter Bill did a fantastic job was very attentive and very welcoming. The food will stay the same pretty much at every restaurant but it's the way I was treated will definitely come back shout out to Bill. If you want a good experience definitely come to this Olive Garden and if Bill is your waiter you'll have a great time.“

“This place is great! The food was amazing and everybody loved the BBQ chicken pizza though they only asked for cheese. The service was also great though we did pickup. Food was ready to go even before they said and was warm and simple. Thank you so much!“

“First time here. We saw a review on facebook and decided to try it out. Very small place but cute. We walked in and was left standing not knowing if we sit ourself and there were several tables that needed to be cleaned off. An elderly lady looked at us and did not acknowledge us so I said, shall we seat ourselfs? The lady was the owner Angela, which seemed like she was taking orders, serving and making food. We sat down with no menus and my husband had to get up and go to the counter and Angela just said can I help you? Wow. We never even got our water until 1/2 hour later. We sat at a table next to the womens bathroom and the area smelled a little of sewer which was not enjoyable. Finally she took our order. We ordered a small pepperoni pizza and shared a antipasta salad which was very good and the pizza was good. My hubby ordered to go an sausage & pepper sandwich. The sandwich not so good. It was very salty and the sausage tasted old. Service was extremely slow. We are not sure if we will give it another try or not based on our experience.“

“Outstanding food and customer service. Our waiter Manny and the manager Ayush, were very friendly and hospitable. Furthermore they were very diligent in making sure that my wife's gluten allergy was taken into consideration when preparing her food. I will definitely visit this location again soon.“

“Great I liked that the waitress was nice and gave us our food fast 👍🏼“

“I am so happy to have a Claro in my neighborhood! I was so lucky at my last visit to get canolni freshly assembled! My sandwich was yummy enough, but something was off? The bread is not the same! Oh, please bring back the good stuff!!! PlEASE!!!“

“best wings so far, and we had the potatoes wedges they were good. and their Ranch is very creamy and good“

“I've been going here for over 30 years. Came here back in high school in the early 90's and I still come here whenever I'm passing through. Honestly, it's not just the best pizza. it's the only pizza in town. If you've had pizza in New York, you know what I mean.“

“I work at a business where we tried a different pizza place every month and voted on them as a team. After a year of good pizza, this spot ended up with the highest votes overall.

The Wiseguy and Burrata Queen were the top voted toppings... Burrata Queen is my personal favorite. It’s not easy to win over a whole office, but this spot did it.

We’ll definitely be ordering from here again.“

“Good food and exceptional service.“

“great place to eat. Place been there for 30 years. a must go!!“

“Best Pizza ANYWHERE!! And the bread sticks with cheese and Roland sauce are a major plus!!! We make a stop in to see if the mistro of pies Joey is in, whenever we are in town, and are never disappointed!! The imported sausage and perfectly cooked crust are amazing!“

“Palermo Bakery has everything you need to feel like you are in Italy! From the welcoming staff the moment you walk through the door, to the decor, to the EXTENSIVE bakery items (that are beyond delicious!), to the pizza, to the coffee, there is truly not a bad choice on the menu! They even have a window to the kitchen so you (or your kids) can watch the magic happen in the kitchen. The first time I went there I was reminded of my Dad and my time in Palermo. They are also very COVID safe in case you are worried about venturing out and about. I would recommend the bakery to anyone needing a slice of Italy in Southern California! ❤️🇮🇹💚“
