Cara Mia - Queens Village

Upon arrival great greeting Excellent food and service Friendly staff Owner on the spot with specialty plate prepared.

This restaurant is a true hidden gem in the neighborhood! I have been a loyal customer for years and can't believe I haven't written a review before. If I could rate them more than 5 stars, I definitely would (and that's saying something). This unassuming spot serves some of the best Italian cuisine in Queens. I'm sad to hear they are moving to Floral Park because the original location is so convenient for me. I appreciate the consistently delicious food they serve. I have never had a bad meal here, everything on the menu is fantastic. But my personal favorite is their Pazzo salad, made with grilled veggies, fresh greens, mozzarella, provolone, and a flavorful balsamic dressing. It's the perfect way to start a delightful meal. What's more, the portions are generous and every main dish comes with a side of pasta, salad, or fries. I always end up taking leftovers home. The service here is exceptional, the staff is experienced, friendly, and hardworking. They truly make you feel like part of the family. I hope the new location maintains the same level of excellence. Best of luck at the Floral Park spot, it has been a pleasure dining here many times!

This restaurant is amazing! I've dined here quite a few times when I was younger. At that time, yelp wasn't really a thing but now that it is, I felt it was worthy of a review. Came to celebrate my cousins Birthday. I love the vibe, it's clean and comfortable. The staff is attentive and friendly. I especially love that you never have to ask for a refill on water. Another great point is they don't rush you and space out the appetizers and meals. There is nothing worse than being rushed when you are coming to enjoy a meal. The menu has something for everyone. My favorite is the spicy vodka cavetelli. The portions are great, the food is fresh, prices are fairs-what more can you ask for. I know they are leaving this location soon, I will miss it but look forward to visiting the new location. It is worth a trip. Highly recommend!

I can't wait for Cara Mia to open in Floral Park. The food is excellent, so be sure to give it a try for yourself. I guarantee you'll love it. Once it opens, I'll definitely be going with all of my friends.

Classic Italian restaurant. I love this authentic restaurant with a variety of Italian dishes. Favorite is the penne Al vodka with it's delicious creamy sauce and grilled chicken. Make sure to stop by this restaurant and enjoy a great meal
