About Cara Mia

Cara Mia, a local restaurant in Upland, offers a variety of delicious dishes and friendly service. The Burrata and Arugula appetizer and Penne Alla Vodka with added chicken are standout dishes, while the Seafood Risotto and Salmon Linguine are also popular choices. The spaghetti with meat sauce is noted as one of the best options, rivaling other local Italian restaurants. Many customers enjoy the meatballs and tiramisu as take-out options. The service can be slightly disorganized during busy periods, but the staff is generally attentive and provides fantastic hospitality. The atmosphere is lively yet intimate, making it a great place for gatherings. The prices are reasonable compared to other eateries, although adding protein to pasta may feel overpriced. The bread is nice and warm, enhancing the dining experience. Excellent cocktails and generous portions are also highlights. However, the vegetable selection could be improved, with only a salad available for greens. Overall, Cara Mia is a recommended dining option for those seeking tasty Italian cuisine, and many customers express their intention to return for another meal, especially on nights with live music.

My younger female friend and I (older male) were to be placed back in the bar after the hostess stated that they were near capacity, when I noticed a vacant table in the dining room. Upon request we were seated in the main dining area after which we noticed 3 other vacant tables. We felt that we were judged as being the old guy out with the young woman instead of just 2 longtime friends who just wanted to have dinner. We will not be back.

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...read full review

I just love sitting in the bar area enjoying a Lemoncello Spritz. Veronica was our waitress and she is the best!!! Thank you Veronica for all your your suggestions and your attention to detail. We enjoyed the lobster ravioli and the trio ravioli with the filet mignon. All I can say is Wow! Delicious! Happy 60th. We love you!!!! 🎉❤️🎉
