Great mom and pop Italian restaurant and I'll definitely go back. The prices are decent and the portions are great! We got the bread twists to start and they were amazing. I could not stop eating them. The marinara sauce to go with it was fantastic. After that we got the complimentary salad. I got the Cesar salad and my wife got the house salad. I feel like if anything this was the miss. The Caesar was kind of basic. Dressing was good but I feel like it could of been better all together After the salad we got the free bread. Had we known the free bread was coming we wouldn't have ordered the bread twists. The free bread was good however. I got the bolognese and decided to bake it in cheese. It was great. Sauce was plentiful and everything tasted great. My wife got the tortellini and added chicken. She liked it as well and thought everything about it was great. Friendly staff. Would come back. read more

First time visitor and we'll be back! I placed a takeout order at Cannataro's because it's near the hospital. It sits in a strip mall and is somewhat imperceptive. The interior has a country homey feel. Ordered bolognese with meat sauce, wedding soup, Italian bread, and a large Tuscany calzone (subbed the fungus for earth greens). The restaurant was packed and the order took about 20 mins longer than their estimation. The host desk was cordial. As we dove into the food, only words heard were "Omg, that's good!". The marinara sauce was flavorful and just the right consistency. The calzone was baked to perfection, packed with fresh veggies and complimented with cheese, instead of those places that make the cheese the main choke-gredient. We were so captivated, we forgot to take pics. read more

It has been a while since we've been have been in. We no longer live close so if we're ever in the neighborhood, we'd definitely make an appointment to stop in. We happen to be on the 60 freeway and said hey you know what it's dinner time let's stop in for some amazing Italian food. Why are we glad we did. It was a Friday night, but we got there early and we beat the Rush. Like always the service was over the top Great. I ordered the chicken parmigiana and the wife ordered baked ziti. Both plates came out perfect the chicken Parmesan was tender cooked to perfection. My wife loved her baked ziti. We also ordered a pizza so we can each have a slice and take home the leftovers. Did I mention the killer garlic bread that they serve. It is to die for. If you are ever in the area, I highly recommend that you stop in for a great Italian meal. Not only will you get a great meal but you'll have outstanding service. The other big thing is you know they appreciate you coming in. read more

This place never disappoints. ALL Staff are on point and friendly. read more

Italian lunch with two friends. I had the chicken cacciatore which was amazing. The serving is huge (so I have enough for tomorrow!). My friends had chicken Marsala and another chicken dish (didn't get the details), but they also enjoyed their meals. The service was decent. It would have been nice to have our water or ice tea glasses refilled. The ambiance is nice. Italian music playing in background is at a good volume. Both booths and stand alone tables available. read more

I've been coming here since I was a kid and I'm really sad to write this review about our experience here. This is mostly regarding our experience, and not the food. The service was terrible, we couldn't even grab our waitress to refill our water. We had to ask someone else to bring us utensils and napkins, we were only given 2 sets for 4 people. When our appetizers were served, some of the food was spilled onto the table. The food was not as good as it used to be. The starter plate had calamari, mozzarella sticks and fried zucchini. Two of us got salads with our entrees, and the other two got soup. Parts of our salad were spilled onto the table while it was served which was disappointing. The minestrone was salty. The wedding soup was ok. The tricolored tortellini with sun-dried tomato sauce was oily. In the starter entree (chicken parm, lasagna and fettuccine), flavor was ok. The shrimp ravioli seemed the best. The chicken marsala was served seemingly drenched in oil. The worst part, for a party of 4, after we received our bill, our waitress tried auto-adding 25% gratuity to our bill and was disappointed when we asked her how to change the tip. I understand tipping while eating out and doing so appropriately but we were a table of 4, and on top of that we had terrible service and food spillage. Most restaurants charge 18-20% for larger parties, and again, we were a party of 4. If we hadn't paid attention to the bill, we would not even have noticed the auto gratuity of 25%. Other tables, either small or bigger, had better service than we did. Highly recommend being detail oriented when paying your bill. I used to love this place but was not at all happy with our recent experience. read more

11/11/25 Amazing Italian restaurant serving up delicious meals, (somewhat) romantic & cozy ambiance with good service. Met up with good friends at this establishment for lunch & it was busy! Lisa, our server was slaying it with good service. Took advantage of their lunch specials which were between $11-$13. Hubby & I shared a gourmet pizza & the spinach ravioli, which came with garlic bread. The bread was addictive!! Our friends shared the Alfredo sauce to dip our bread & that was really good. My ravioli was served with soup & I opted for the Wedding soup. Not bad for $13. It's cozy & the place also played Italian tunes. Parking is free & it shares the space with other businesses. Would definitely return if we're in the area read more

This review is for take out. First, they have a great selection of items, mostly Italian, however lots of other dishes. We ordered two main dishes, with sides, and desert. 1. Meatball sandwich. This came with a pasta salad, and we shared an order of garlic bread. I also hot the chocolate mouse cake. I must say the meatball sandwich was perfect. The pasta salad great as well as the decadent chocolate cake. 5/5 for me. 2. My friend got the lemon herb chicken with veggies, and for desert, the canoli. She loved both. We were very happy with everything and definitely going back. This was an excellent Italian restaurant and will be trying the spaghetti next for sure. We might even go eat there, but the takeout was very easy too. Thx. read more

It has a great menu that makes me want to try everything! Everything was very good but chef was heavy handed on the salt. The Malbec we ordered was a great wine to pair with our meal. Complimentary garlic bread was so goood. Wish they offered more ! Seafood linguine pescatore- includes a bunch of seafood , with marinara wine sauce. Good seafood infused flavors Stuffed mushrooms- filled with ground beef, sausage, and a bunch of cheese Minestrone soup- a lot of veggies and very good but on the saltier side Steak arrabbiata- salty steak and sauce but good spicy garlic wine sauce with the linguine House salad- glad they were able to put the dressing on the side. A lot of cheese, with olives but refreshing and healthy with the meal Overall good Italian spot to check out. I'll definitely come back and try their other dishes. Their pizzas look so good too! read more

Have been here many times throughout the years and let me just say.... The food stay bomb and didn't need any work but the staff was the hot mess. They have gotten much better from what I just saw. Went today on a random Monday date night with hubby after massages and staff paid attention to us upon arrival and our waitress (wish I got her name) was awesome. She was busy with a lot of ppl on her route but did her absolute best to be personable to everyone. Food came out quick and piping hot! Reasonable prices, cute ambiance and definitely our favorite Italian restaurant. We travel all the way from San Jacinto for it so you know I mean that. Oh but one suggestion: the stuffed mushrooms were good but in high need for sauce. Calamari is fresh and amazing, salmon Alfredo was perfect and cannoli is always on point. YUMMY read more

Don't buy from here on doordash. They're gonna try to tell you that alfredo sauce needs to settle, yet the "Alfredo" is 90% oil. They said it needs to settle, I've never seen alfredo be 90% oil and not a lick of cream. I've been to you guys in person. I've bought from you on doordash. At this point, just get off doordash. You disappoint me. They are in the trend of charging more for slop like mcdonalds. This is their exit strategy. They're trying to squeeze as much as they can for the little amount of love they put into their food. You're better off with cooking your own Fettuccine and hearing up some rao's. I used to love you guys. Good luck on your future endeavors, but you're not receiving any more money from me. read more

Wedding soup was very good. We ordered the sampler that had lasagna, fettuccini alfredo and chicken parmesan. We were hoping this restaurant would be real Italian as we were looking for sweet tasting marinara sauce, not tart. However it still came out as your typical American tart sauce. But I guess I can't blame them because the real Italian sweet tomato sauce comes from the San Marzano DoP or Piennolo del Vesuvio tomatoes that are hard to come by here. I know about these because several times I've been to Italy, I asked them why their tomato sauces are sweet compared to the USA and that's what i was told. The garlic knots were good and so was their tiramisu. Too bad I didn't have the chance to try the bruschetta. read more

8 years later and gave this place a try again. Trio sampler plate, fettuccine alfredo tastes like butter, lasagna was burnt on the end and overly salty. The parmigana was burned and hard to cut. Chicken fettuccine with broccoli also tasted like an overwhelming amount of butter. Soups were minestrone and wedding, both decent. The berry salad is amazing, good job on that. The garlic knot bread tasted under baked and old. Chocolate mouse cake is expensive for the price. Small sliver for $9, yikes. It seems even after 8 years passing, this place is still the same. $90 in food and a wife throwing up at time of writing this review. What are the odds of another off day 8 years later . Tried again, left with less money in my pocket, worse food quality than before and a sick wife. 2 stars for the salad and cake. This was a take out order. Option to speak to server or manager was not applicable. Interesting to see others are echoing same experience. read more

1/5 -- Disappointing experience, twice This was our second time ordering takeout from Cannataro's, and unfortunately, it will also be our last. Our first experience was very negative, but we decided to give the restaurant another chance. We wish we hadn't. We ordered two Papa-sized calzones but received one Papa and one Mama. They also got the fillings wrong. We ordered one with pepperoni, mushrooms, and black olives, but they put jalapeños in it instead of black olives. That's a pretty significant mistake, especially for someone who doesn't like or can't tolerate spicy food. On top of the incorrect order, neither calzone was even placed in a bag for a takeout order. The food is extremely overpriced for what you receive, and the staff was incredibly rude and provided very poor customer service. Mistakes happen, but when you're charging these prices, getting the size and ingredients correct, properly packaging a takeout order, and treating customers courteously should be the bare minimum. We gave Cannataro's a second chance after a bad first experience, and unfortunately, the second experience confirmed that we won't be returning. read more

Why did it take me so long to visit? This is an awesome hidden gem for some great food. Lots of seating inside booth or tables. Booths are more intimate great for date nights. Back section has chair seating for larger groups. Lunch menu has a good selection great for sharing and trying more entrees. Pasta comes with soup or salad. First round of bread is on the house. Any additional are $2 for a half and $4 for a whole. Go for the whole! And add a sauce for dipping while ur at it. Soup was comforting and flavorful, Spinach pasta was tasty with that red sauce. Pastrami was juicy and tender cuts warmed and sandwiched with that perfect hit of mustard. Both were great! A little patience is needed when it's a full house during the lunch rush. Service was great and food delish! Parking right in front. read more

I've heard amazing things about Cannataro's and this restaurant definitely lived up to my expectations! Cannataro's is a family owned Italian joint with your traditional Italian fare. It is a cozy little place and very popular. Seats fill up fast so definitely come early if you can! You're served a complimentary basket of Italian bread when you order which was delicious! We also ordered the garlic bread knots for the table with a side of marinara. They were also very delicious! It was hard to pick between an entree or just ordering a pizza for the table but we opted for entrees. The next hard part was picking which entree to get when everything sounded so good! Your entree comes with a choice of soup or salad. I got the salad with Italian dressing and it was the perfect starter to my meal. I ordered the baked pesto penne and it was very tasty! Everyone in my party also greatly enjoyed their meals. We closed our meal with some delicious desserts. I got the butter cake a la mode with caramel sauce it was to die for. I would definitely come back to Cannataro's to sample more of their menu! read more

This place has some good authentic Italian food and from 11am - 3pm a good weekly Mon - Fri lunch menu! They have many selections including sandwiches like the roast beef sandwich i got. Roast beef with melted cheese and red onions on a toasted sandwich bread. Delicious! They were pretty busy on this day, being Veterans day so food did take some time but was worth it! Small family owned and definitely a hidden gem outside the local community! Our server, Lisa was awesome! I got there late after my friends did and she took my order even though I had to wait.

We celebrated my mom's birthday at Cannataro's in Chino, and once again, it reminded us exactly why it's our family favorite. From the moment we walked in, everyone was incredibly welcoming, and our server Elias was absolutely fantastic--attentive, kind, and on top of everything. He truly helped make our celebration extra special! As always, the food was delicious. We started with their yummy garlic bread, salads, Julie's wedding soup, minestrone soup, stuffed mushrooms, and the spicy artichoke jalapeño dip. The whole family loved their dishes--chicken piccata, chicken parmesan, fettuccine supremo, pepperoni pizza, linguine carbonara, rigatoni, zucchini noodles, and spaghetti and meatballs. Not a single plate disappointed. Everything came out hot, fresh, and full of incredible flavor. Cannataro's never misses. The warm atmosphere, amazing service, and consistently delicious food keep us coming back for every occasion. If you haven't been yet, you're truly missing out! read more

Embarrassing--there's really no other way to put it. I'm extremely disappointed in the service. I've been coming here for years, since 2015, and the experience has clearly gone downhill. We waited over an hour and a half, only to be told there were no tables available, while more than 20 people were seated ahead of us. Then we were told there were "party reservations," so no seating was available for our group--yet the app showed a wait time of just 10-17 minutes. read more

Came here multiple times, and I'm a fan. ATMOSPHERE: Feels like a mom & pops kinda shop, like I'm transported to Sunday dinner with my Italian neighbors. Definitely a cozy home vibe. FOOD: Pretty good, but quite salt heavy on some items like their soups. I typically opt out for their pasta dishes, typically something with angel hair. They also do give out free garlic bread, it's really good but overly smothered with butter. The other main entrees are good with big portions too. In terms of price, it was reasonably average. SERVICE: Pretty good and fast. Staff were attentive and the food came out in a reasonable time. TLDR- Decent Italian food in a cozy Italian Sunday dinner vibe with fast service. If you're debating between Olive Garden or going here, I would pick here (unless you want something specific). Would I come back? Of course, I love it here. Turn ONs: - Cozy vibe, great for date nights - Good Italian food- feels authentic, but some items can be quite salty - Easy and free parking Turn OFFs: - Some items are way too salty (minus one star for that) read more

We gathered for a family dinner to celebrate daughter's birthday last night (Sunday) We were a party of 15 of all ages.

No worries at all after Big baskets of hot homemade garlic bread (free) arrived promptly to table & drink orders taken. Everyone loved their food orders & the servings are huge. My personal favorite was Classic calamari appetizer So Good! Our server ELI was the best!! He promptly met our needs & was so friendly he added to our merriment & celebration Best of all their prices are great! I will definitely return & I highly recommend read more

Open only 20 years? How can that be? I feel like we've been coming here forever. And it never fails us. Tonight's meal was superb. As always, I tend to lean towards their Chicken Marsala, but tonight's was by far the best I've ever eaten anywhere. They accommodated me by switching the pasta side for sauteed spinach. Definitely do this! It's unbelievably heavenly. I do believe the portion sizes were even bigger than I remember, too. Enough leftovers to have at least one more meal. Mr. B's Clam Linguini is his go-to dish here. There are so many chopped clams in a beautiful sauce. You can't go wrong. And then there is the buttery toasted garlic bread. Crunchy crust , soft in the middle. A complete temptation, and by far the best for sopping up that amazing Marsala sauce. Our entire family swears by Cannataros. Beautiful food, superb service, delightful ambiance, great nostalgic music playing softly in the background. Thank you for giving us such consistent, wonderful memories! read more

Yay for the A/C! We really liked the choices, many that were under $20.00. I was restricted due to gut issues to pasta with butter-the fettucine I got was delicious. My wife's spaghetti had a lot of tomato sauce, we'd order light sauce next visit, but she said the meatballs we're really good. The waitress was super accommodating and listened well- Also, Cannataro's was easy to find, and park at. Paying the bill was easy-electronic at the table. We never felt rushed or taken for granted. We did have a noisy table that was next to our booth, and apparently the one young college age kid had just discovered the F-word, and was trying it out a bit, I wear ear plugs at restaurants and I did my best to focus on my wife, but I wish he would have used a little restraint- Young men when you're in public, since we're all paying for the experience, hold off on the obscenities like you would at school or work?-just a request-thanks. (Next time maybe we'll ask for a booth away from tables/groups next time so everyone can enjoy their food their way.) Cannataro's was more personal than Olive Garden, had a great and affordable menu, and was easy to drive to. Staff was attentive and kept the carafe of water filled. Our only regret is we didn't try the creme brulee. Thanks Cannataro's, your hard-working team and varied menu made for a nice out of town Italian experience. read more

Stopped by for some late dinner with my husband. Stuffed mushrooms as the appetizer. Delicious! We got complimentary garlic bread, very buttery. We ordered the chicken pesto pizza in medium for the both of us but it was a lot. I should have ordered the small. The pizza was so good! I can't wait to come back and try their other pizzas. My husband ordered the carnivore pasta and it came with a soup. He picked the chili and it was hearty good! Overall my experience was great. The servers were fast and patient :) read more

Went here for my fiancés birthday with high expectations and we were not let down. It was a 15 minute wait till we were sat down and when we sat down we were immediately served by a great server (shame I never asked her name, I really need to be better about that). The service was amazing she was very attentive and made the dinner best it could be. For the starters we got the jalapeño artichoke dip and breaded zucchini. The dip was amazing with a kick of spice from the jalapeño. The breaded zucchini was nothing special but was great. For the entree my fiance had the chicken Marsala and I got the baked ziti. Both were amazing and portions were large enough for leftovers to take back home. We will come back again and I truly recommend Cannataros! read more
