Cara Mia

The family decided to get together for dinner. Our original plan was to go to a buffet, however due to the long lines to get in, we opted for something local. In this we discover Cara Mia; and Italian restaurant. With five and a half empty stomachs we decided to check out this spot; and we are glad we did. We were greeted and seated immediately upon our arrival. The staff was very friendly, attentive and made us feel like part of their family. From the food to the drinks and even the live music, we all thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Can't wait to check this spot out again soon.

Last week was our second visit to Cara Mia. This time our daughter joined my wife and me. The is quite good, depending on what you order. It was exceptional when my wife and I first visited...lasagna and spaghetti with meat sauce. On our second visit, my wife and daughter enjoyed their meals...shrimp and pasta dish and spaghetti with meat balls, but my chicken parmigiana was overcooked and dry. This time we did get bread before our meals arrived, but on BOTH occasions the waitress service was horrible. We couldn't get bread after asking several times on our first visit. During our second visit, the waitress left to join a management meeting, and we did not see her again until we were finished eating; we even had to ask a waitress behind the bar for to-go boxes for our leftovers. Some of Cara Mia's dishes are quite good, but their service is truly lacking.

This was our third visit. The food never disappoints. The service is always excellent. And it’s super fun to arrive on a night when they are having live music.
We highly recommend!

we had a lovely Sunday evening experience. the atmosphere was lively but did not overstep the intimacy of each table. excellent cocktails, generous portions. our server was a young male with double plugs in each ear--david perhaps--very experienced, very cool, very quick, and all around terrific.

We’ve lived in Rancho Cucamonga for over 20 years and I never knew this place was here, and I was not impressed. We were seated and it took a good twenty minutes for a waitress to come great our table. Strike one. Our drink order took another 20 minutes, so we’re already an hour in at this joint. My wife and I ordered the crab cake, yes I mean one cake for $10, and again, not impressed. I think the crab was from a can, diffidently was not lump crab. Moving on. For the entire I tried the “house” lasagna, which in all fairness was ok and hot, what a concept. Over all, this place was just ok, would I come again? Probably not.

First time here, and won't be the last! This place is fun, welcoming and warm. We had the house specialties lasagna and eggplant parmesan, both a hit but the eggplant is a homerun! Service is excellent, professional and attentive. Prices are fair. For sure will be back.
