Cariera's Fresh Italian

Omg! love this place so much!!! The owner is super nice and is serving people right along side all of the waitresses and waiters. All the waiters and waitresses are so nice and up beat. Miles was so nice! My fav waiter by far!! He played tic tac toe with us. I highly recommend restaurant! I will 100% be coming back here!!

The best Italian restaurant in the area and beyond. The food is just perfect and my favorite is Chicken Parm. The owner is usually on site and always friendly and takes time to check in with customers. Recently the happy hour specials have been super and really helps with the rising costs. I’ve been a returning customer for 3 years since I moved to winter garden. I admit I have tried other places, but none of them touch the quality or flavor of the food. My other favorite is also the Mac & Cheese. Like nothing has ever compared to his recipe and I could eat it until I explode.

Whether we’re stopping by for a cocktail or lunch or grabbing dinner to go, Tommy always makes it fun and enjoyable and Dana runs a great bar! Love the new and improved layout and decor and the menu is full of endless options with most entrees being enough for two meals!

I was so happy to see that Carieras had another location in Winter Garden. I remember their location in Dr Phillips and they are amazing. Wonderful family owned Italian restaurant with a history of excellent food and service. Thanks so much Tommy for the wonderful hospitality last night. You and your staff took great care of my family and we really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Can’t wait to visit again!!!

Went the night after the Hurricane... was a lovely break away from the madness. Cocktails were lovely

This place has changed a bit but the new menu is excellent. They have a bar now and the drinks our good. Owner is always present and gives us a great welcome. Food was authentic and its a must taste in this quaint place. Recommended.

Great local family spot!

The food and the service are excellent at Cariera’s! Tonight was our second time here and second time with Ryan as our server. Everything we’ve tried has been delicious! Soup, chicken parm, lasagna, chicken saltimbocca, and eggplant rollatini are all great. Ryan is friendly and very attentive. Can’t wait to come back!

I am sooooo happy to find that Cariera's is open again! I used to be a Sous Chef at their location in Dr. Phillips about 20 years ago, so I know the recipes are homemade and excellent. Took my granddaughter to dinner here last night and like I expected....perfection! The food - excellent, fresh, hot, delicious! Service - Pete - on point. Super nice guy, knew the menu and made suggestions. Fantastic! Management - Tommy - still an awesome guy. Takes good care of the customers, while bussing table, pouring drinks, greeting etc. Super hard worker, always has been. And always happy to please. If you're looking for delicious, home cooked, real Italian food. This is the place. We live on the east side of Orlando, and we will MOST DEFINATLEY make the drive to Winter Garden again & again.

Loved the food before but now they have a BAR!!!!! I love it. The food as I said always tastes amazing but now you can add amazing drinks as well. Thank you Nick for being a great server and not being afraid of learning something new. The cooks also huge shout out, I didn’t get your names but food was absolutely perfect thank you.

Italian perfection. Service with a smile. 😊 Very comfortable environment. Exceptional food and staff. If you want EXCELLENT Italian food this is the place to go. We loved everything so much the first night we came back the next. The Chicken Parmesan is absolutely delicious and the Lasagna… ohhh my! We will definitely be back again. ❤️ 50 years in business.. and we KNOW why! 🙌🏼

If you have want to be served in a friendly manner, you must make your political position. A good restaurant serves the public without getting involved in politics.

Laid back atmosphere that had some of my classic Italian favorites. Great quality and generous portions. I Sat at the bar and enjoyed some NFL and cocktails delivered with a smile and friendly service! I'll be going back for sure.

The food is nothing special and the service is the worst in the area.

Good food service was good. It is a nice place to go eat. You should give it a try if you like Italian food. Portions were good size also.

Just happen to be in the area looking for a spot to have lunch. We landed here and all four of us girls had something different. All of the food was so good. Every single one of us agreed that we must come back. Unfortunately we live about 50 minutes away. That won't stop us though. Service was great as well.

Service was good, but I don't know why people rave about the food, basic Italian sauce .. hardly no flavor
