Cara Mia Restaurant - Italian restaurant in Floral Park - 146 Tulip Ave, USA

I love this place. I've been going to it's original location in Queens Village for many years. The food is fantastic. They offer large family style portions and prices are reasonable. The staff is great. Some of the waiters have been serving us for the past 11 years. We were happy to see that they went to the new location in Floral Park. The restaurant itself is very nice. I always have the Chicken Cara Mia. My husband enjoys the Veal Sorrentino and our son changes his dishes at every visit to try all on the menu. The mussels are great, the penne alla vodka is so good. We truly enjoy their food. I highly recommend.

My girlfriend took me here for our anniversary 11/12/2023 and we were honestly just so underwhelmed. Caesar Salad was the only thing that was good. The pasta noodles from the pesto were inconsistent some were hard and chewy and others were cooked right, the piccata has absolutely no seasoning and really did not taste good at all. The waitress was just okay there was nothing over the top that she did to make her service memorable.

The food here is great. We started with the half dozen baked clams. The sauce in it was delicious. Great to dip your bread in. I ordered the calamari Fra Diablo. It was a big portion. The sauce was medium spicy. The food was great. The service was good. I would definitely recommend it for great Italian food.

This is a place that we've been going to for a long time. When they Where at there? previously location. We would go 4 times a month. throughout the pandemic We supported them with takeout. Since they moved to the new location say doubled in size end. It's near to impossible to get in. Me and my wife went Last Friday. The girl taken our names said it would be about 20 minutes. We waited at the bar. My wife had a beer and we waited for our table. In the mean time there was 3 to 4 other couples of 2 and one party with 3 Arrived after us. They proceeded to see the other couples in the party of 3 before us. When I spoke with the girl, she said the table accommodated three people so they didn't sit us even though the people came in 20 minutes after us. I probably will never go back being that. This isn't the first time that we would treat like this. We've been on the first name basis with the waiting staff for a long time. And I just feel that ever since they moved there. They're making more money and they don't care about losing a loyal custom. Update: After posting the review, I was contacted by the restaurant and they explained some of the troubles they're having and helped to make it right.

We tried Cara Mia’s new location in Floral Park last night. The food was amazing! I totally forgot to take pictures of the apps because we were so hungry. Definitely worth the wait on a Friday night 😋

It was a very nice classy Italian dinner spot. The lights were dim, they have booths, and table seating. They do have outdoor seating for those who are not vaccinated, please provide your cards if you are. The outdoor seating isn’t the best, it’s not a pretty side street. However 5 stars goes to their food! It’s delicious! The service is good but they could get some more uplifted waiters. They seemed tired and unenthusiastic, understandable…

We've been coming to this restaurant since 1984 & continue to do so due to the down home service & food quality. The menu is diverse, the drinks are generous, and the desserts are decidently delicious. Make a reservation & go early if you don't like to wait for a table, but no matter what you choose to do you'll love this place. The new location in Floral Park has all the charm of the 1st location, but with more space. Tonight's chopped baked clams, lasagna, penne ala vodka & veal picata were only upstaged by the top flight creme brule.

The food was amazing, service was excellent and prices were even better for the portions we got. I'm not Italian but I know good food when I eat it. The bread was nice, fresh and soft, calamari was the perfect amount of crispy and the pasta was a perfect texture. The wine was also a fan favorite. I live an hour away and would drive back with no hesitation.
