Cariera's By Castelli Cucina Italiana

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! more

Cariera's is jewel of an Italian restaurant! When you have kids with you - sit inside... the tablecloth is paper and the kids can entertain themselves by drawing all over the table! If you are on a romantic date, sit outside or in the back - on weekends they even have a strolling accordian player! The servers aren't the nicest in the world - but the food more than makes up for it! Pros: kid friendly, romantic, great pizza Cons: ok service, crowded on weekends more
