Had our rehearsal dinner for our wedding here and it was great. Food was awesome probably best fried calamari I’ve ever had and multiple people at my party felt the same. Never went thirsty waiters kept the drinks coming like champs. A little tight for big parties but we made it work. Price per plate was very fair for quality of food for sure. Would definitely come back and recommend.

We are regular customers. I love the food, the atmosphere, and the personality we interact with Carlos, the owner every time But today, we were there to celebrate my grandson's birthday. We sat down next to the bar, which we never do. The waitress on that side took my utensils without asking me if I finished. I got distraught that they were rushing us when we were regular customers.

Everything at Cara Mia is amazing. The food is excellent, and the service is outstanding. We didn’t catch our waiter’s name but he was phenomenal, he even ran out into the rain because someone in our party forgot their cell phone. We had a great dining experience!
