Would have been a 5 start but I ordered fried Ravioli and instead of telling me they were out they served me mozzarella sticks... and at this restaurant you order and pay before being served your food. Besides this issue there food was amazing. I would notorder the mozzarella sticks they were not very good. Read more

So glad someone recommended this hidden gem. This food was delicious and the kids meals were the highest quality I?ve seen! The... Mac and cheese was real pasta and cheese. The owners and servers are so kind and I cannot wait to come back again. I recommendthe vodka pasta with shrimp. Read more

The staff is amazing. Really attentive and friendly. Love that they wiped down the tables and chairs after guest were done... eating. Love that they replaced the white butcher paper after each guest as well. Now? to the food? A-MAZ-ING. I went to Italyabout six years ago and have not eaten Olive Garden since and I am glad to say I found Italy in Winter Garden. My salad wasfresh and filling (got the half) I ordered the lasagna (1/2) and it was so filling. The owner was very pleasant andapproachable. All in all, a great experience. Read more

Cool spot. Dig that you order and pay first. The girl at the register was a space cadet. We had to repeat everything we said a... bunch of times to her. Seemed like she was high as she kept drifting off while we were trying to order. A friend of hers camein with a bluetooth speaker playing music from his phone and dancing like an idiot. Ordered his food, sat his speaker on thecounter. Appeared to know everyone working there. Ate his meal at the front register, standing, dancing, listening to hip hop onan open speaker. Apparently acceptable behavior for this establishment. Too bad, food was delicious, but I doubt we'll be back. Read more

OMG! This is a quiet little Italian restaurant with authentic, delicious food. I enjoyed the chicken piccata with the capers... because, after all, you must love capers. Wonderful! We had a pleasant conversation with Alisa, one of the owners who was veryhelpful in suggesting the best pairing ideas. We were treated as if we were family and appreciated. Also enjoyed a deliciousdessert. We will visit again when we're in town. We're about two hours away, but it was well worth the trip. One idea is to postan arrow at the door: "This way to order" as I noticed some, including us, thinking we should wait at the door to beseated Thank you so much for our fabulous visit Read more

First time here at take out chicken parmigiana and it was delicious. The noodles are thick, cheese is sticky, sauce nice and the... chicken cooked just right. Didn?t have to wait all day for a take out. The cashier was bubbly and even asked me how my day was.I am thoroughly impressed and can?t wait for my next take out or dine in. The funny this is I passed by here all the time. Soglad I decided to stop and try it out. Awesome Italian food for a decent price. Read more

Cariera's is a fast casual type of restaurant. It's located in strip mall but don't let that mislead you. The food is very good... and the staff is polite. Bathrooms are clean and the restaurant interior seem to be very well maintained. You order at the frontcounter are given a number and then find your seat. I think it took about 10 to 15 minutes for our orders to come out. There wasplenty of sauce on our pasta dishes which is great because I do not like a dry pasta. We were introduced to this location by aneighbor and it has become our go-to spot for takeout Italian or a quick sit down. I had the lasagna which was one of the bestlasagnas my wife said she had had. I also had the chicken mushroom pasta and my wife had the pasta a la vodka with chicken. Allof them were great. My rating system consists of a 3-star being exactly what I expected and neither good nor bad. A 4 meanssomething was extra special whether it was service, food, staff, etc., and a 5 means I was blown away. A 2 star rating wasdisappointing with no offer to correct the experience and a 1-star rating was terrible Read more
