Cariera's Fresh Italian - Winter Garden

This was our first time dining here and we couldn't have been more impressed with the food. Everything was delicious and it had a very homemade Italian feel to it. Great menu selections and variety. Very prompt and fast service. The atmosphere was very comfortable. Definitely somewhere you can go for a delicious dinner with the family while not having to be overly concerned with dressing up from a formality perspective. Last but absolutely not least was the service. We had who I assumed was the owner or manager come to our table. He was so courteous and genuinely friendly. You could tell he took a personal interest in new people coming into their establishment. It was my daughter's birthday and he took a sincere interest in making sure our entire family was pleased. For those who enjoy a casual atmosphere, but want absolutely delicious food with a personal feel, give them your business!Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly!!!

Excellent Chicken Parmigiana and Chicken Francese. The sangria was pleasant. The beer was bottled and fine. Over all a very pleasant experience on our first visit (but I will pass on the Angel Hair pasta next time. Friendly service and clean.Food: 5/5

Phenomenal food, honestly does not get better than this. Hands down best Italian food I have ever had in Florida. They have something for everyone, large menu, the staff as extremely helpful and everything is fresh made to order. Most of all it’s reasonably priced and the portions are huge.Food: 5/5

My sister and I had our first visit to Cariera 's, a family owned restaurant, for lunch about a week ago. We grabbed the menus, sat at a booth, made our selections and then went up to very friendly Cashier/Waitress Valerie to prepay our meals and tips. I had the Fried Calamari, Shrimp Crab Ravioli ala Vodka, fruit infused red sangria and for dessert, Limoncello cake. Sis had the Lasagna. Everything was delicious (see pics)! The calamari was seasoned crispy on the outside but light and tender on the inside. The ravioli didn 't have as much crab as I would have liked but plenty of shrimp. The vodka sauce was creamy and cheesy. Even the garlic roll was fresh and warm. Everything was perfect and there was plenty leftovers to feed us a couple more days. The owner and Valerie and other servers checked on us periodically throughout our meal. The food, welcoming atmosphere and excellent customer service provided our first-time visit with a very happy, delightful experience! There are plenty of veggie and vegetarian options and a $10 'Little Bambinos ' menu. Cariera 's is located in a strip mall with plenty of parking except handicapped spaces are limited. We plan to return to try different things on the menu and would highly recommend for indoor and/or carry out meals with family, friends and visitors.Vegetarian options: They offer a side of veggies for $7.50 including broccoli, mushrooms, asparagus and spinach. You can also substitute veggies for pasta on entrees for $3.50.Kid-friendliness: Little Bambinos $10 menu.Parking: Strip mall parking. Only one handicapped parking space.

First time eating here, and the lasagna was delicious! They have a lunch portion and full portion. I opted for the full portion, and it was about 8 square. I ate it all and the garlic roll! They have a number of vegan options to choose from, and the staff was happy to explain them. It's table service, but drinks are self-service; even refills. Overall, I loved it and I'll definitely eat there again! Get in my belly!
