Our family was celebrating my daughter's graduation from UCF; she earned her Master's degree. What a marvelous experience! The food was superb! The waitress was very professional, providing service without interrupting the family conversation. I don't remember her name but she had blonde hair. Our food arrived in a timely manner and was reasonably priced. Even the wine was exceptional. We will definitely be back and I'll make sure to tell my friends to go & enjoy a authentic Italian meal and experience at Cariera's. Thank YOU!

We have went to this restaurant probably 5 times but this last time tonight will be the LAST time ever going there! My teenage son, my 18 month daughter and myself went there for dinner and everything was good up until they served my son completely RAW chicken parmesan and he would have probably eaten it had it not been for me asking for a piece for the baby (and sometimes he just cuts up food for her THANK GOD today I was going to) When I took it up to the waitress she took it back and did come over and asked if we wanted it recooked or was there something else he wanted - at that point dinner was mostly over so No and said she would take the RAW entrée of the bill! Not once did a manager or the chef or anybody come over and ask if my children ate any of the chicken or apologize for it! Totally unprofessional way to handle what could of been a serious situation! I don't know if it was handled so bad because they assumed I was a "single" mom because the other times when I have went there with my husband a manger has always come over to ask how the meal was and chat! So disappointed with what was a pretty good non-chain restaurant! When a serious situation is handled so badly I will not give it another chance!

Our dinner started well with a flavorful wedding soup. That was the only highlight of the night. I ordered the chicken picante and it tasted like no lemons, wine nor capers which the menu said was the difference between this dish and chicken limone, were used. It was simply dripping in oil. My dining companion asked if the pasta was dry because it looked so bad. It was not freshly cooked pasta. Looked and tasted more like a day old and exposed to air. I don't send food back but did e-mail the manager when I got home. My complaint was never acknowledged. I wasn't looking for any compensation. An apology for and acknowlegement of lousy food was all. I guess they don't care. I rated this poor.

I think the bread poor. Food just fair at best.

I ordered a fruta dimare, and it was way hot(spice), then tHhey replaced my dish with no flavor at all plus it was still hot, the owner was there and he dint even come to the table to say sorry, i had to go to him to tell him about the problem but he thoght i was lying, he just said he wont charge me, i left my second hot dish over there and paid it, and i told to our waitress to give it a try if they really want to know what was wrong with it. Wont go there anymore
