great food for vegetarians as well great service the garlic knots are really good has good pizza as well

It's a great place to spend an evening with friends or family. I ordered a strawberry margherita, and it was light and delicious. I really enjoyed the linguine pescatore; I swapped the marinara sauce for a light garlic-cream sauce. The sauce was delicious, and the seafood was perfectly cooked. The service was fantastic. read more

My family and I go to Cannataro's fairly often, but this time was horrible. On Friday, 4/16 my wife, our two boys, and I went for dinner. Upon being seated, the waitress brought us two glasses of water that I'm guessing were for another table. One glass had lemon and a straw in it. The other had neither. The glass with the straw in it had pieces of the wrapper floating in the glass. We placed an order and requested soda water. When the food arrived, the lasagna on my wife's sampler plate was cold. I learned that the waitress screwed up my order as she brought me chicken piccata when I ordered chicken parmesan. I told her of the mistake which meant waiting another 15-20 minutes for my food. The waitress came around to refill our water pouring flat water into our soda water. After eating my food, she asked if we wanted dessert. My wife inquired into the dessert that was on the tray at the front of the restaurant. The waitress told us she didn't know what was on the tray and walked away. She never returned to tell us what was on the tray. After waiting approximately ten minutes I asked another waitress to get the check so that we could leave. read more

Man am I sad on this one. Started coming here a few months ago. First trip was great few after that it was good but this last trip never again. We ordered bread knots with marinara for appetizer. After the food was out they brought the with Alfredo. The pizza was not like the first time I had it something changed. It was soaked with grease soggy, and gross. My son ate one slice and refused to eat anymore. Here's the kicker. We ordered gnocchi and it came out straight out of the fridge cold the waitress said im sorry we remake it. She took it back and brought it back 30 seconds later with a "new batch". It was the same one but with 5x sauce on it to try and warm it. How do I know it was the same one. I squished one of the pasta's flat and sure enough the same one was in the new bowl. We ate zero gnocchi One slice of a large pizza Half of my ziti 0 bread Knots And the waitress ask how the food was and if we wanted a box. She knew she dropped the ball kept trying to walk past us and then acted like nothing was wrong. $100 for half a ziti plate. Going to stick to my local spot. 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

The first time we went, the service, the food and the ambience were amazing!! We were a party of nine, it was a Friday night and they were very busy, but we still received our food in a timely manner, the food was delicious and everything was great! We went back to celebrate a birthday made reservations few days prior and the second time the service was horrible, and the food was bland. We are now hesitant about going back for third time. 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

Cannataro's - Wait time of this place. Unfortunately yelp doesn't show waiting times passed an hour. - Italian Near Me - Chino, California

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

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

Made a reservation for a party of 8 on saturday, only to be told reservations are not "really a thing". We would have had to waited for another large party to leave. Why even advertise reservations honestly. The place is just disorganized. Won't bother coming back again. Attached is a undercooked pizza I had previously ordered for pickup which I had to wait for over 30 minutes after the pickup time on a seperate date. read more

Cannataro's - Undercooked. - Italian Near Me - Chino, California

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

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

Food: The food is all so good. When you first sit down they bring you fresh bread! The spaghetti is great and the chicken parm is our go too. The side salads are great too! Service: We love the service here. Some of the servers if you come a couple of times they remember you and it just gives it a very welcoming atmosphere. Inside: There are a decent amount of tables in here. They are able to take bigger parties. And it's very cute in here. Outside: There is a lot of parking. And very easy to get too. 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

They have a lot of choices including sandwiches such as the roast beef sandwich I ordered. Roast beef and melted cheese with red onions on a toasted sandwich roll. Amazing! They were fairly busy this day it was Veterans Day so food took a bit longer but was worth it! Little family business and definitely a secret treasure outside the local community! read more

Service was excellent and the atmosphere was very pleasant. The Eggplant Parmesan was light and very flavorful. Pepperoni Pizza never disappoints. It's a must try for anyone. read more

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

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. The place was busy so I understood the situation. read more

Cannataro's - Roast Beef Sandwich - Italian Near Me - Chino, California

My family and I tried this place for the first time today. I saw reviews on Yelp and wanted to find a good Italian restaurant. This restaurant did not disappoint! Everything from the service to the food was amazing. We loved the complimentary garlic bread, Italian wedding soup and the entrees were all delicious! Generous portion sizes and reasonable prices. We ordered the chicken marsala, steak arrabiata, linguine with clam, and my son ordered pizza from the kids menu. We can't wait to come back and try more dishes! This place was crowded on a Friday night. I would recommend getting on the waitlist! read more

Best Italian food ever! Me and my kids live this place! Always great food and great service!

The food is terrific, that included the must order Seafood pasta and the Shrimp Scampi with the Ange hair. Lucy is an amazing host and we definitely will be be back for more read more

Food: Freshly made and fantastic flavors! I was going to order Shrimp Scampi but the staff sold me the Linguini Jambalaya and the spicy sauce is just amazing! Stuffed mushroom is juicy and tasty. Service: our server is a Mexican lady and she was super nice. Her colleague forgot our stuffed mushroom order so our entree was ready but she still came and informed us in time. Very warm and welcoming. Recommend getting reservations ahead cuz they are popular and busy! Ambiance: cheerfully elegant. Very suitable for a light date, family/friend gathering or a day to celebrate with good food and vibe! 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

We love this place--it's our go-to Italian spot! We always order a pizza and the rigatoni pasta. The pasta is fantastic, and the sauce is perfectly balanced every time. What keeps us coming back is the consistency--the food is always just as good as we remember. The service is also quick and attentive, making sure you're not waiting long for your meal. 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

There is so much to say about this vinces none of which is negative. I have been coming here since i was a kid in early 90s . My best memories from my early childhood come from this restraunt, i cherish that now that both grandma n grandpa are gone. We are continuing the family history and now bringing our boys here. The customer service is great, food great, you walk in its like you step back in time 30 years back to old simple times. The heart n love they put into the work they do, is something you just dont see anymore anywhere. I highly suggest go to this restraunt read more

Dined here on a Friday during lunch. Entry way is nice and clean. As soon as you walk in you can tell that a lot of care was taken to create an authentic ambiance. Everyone from the hostess to the waiter was very nice and professional. I would rate ambiance and service a 5 star. I got the daily lunch special item of Pasta Cannataros which comes with bread and soup/salad. Based on reviews on Yelp, I went with the wedding soup. We were asked for our drink orders and the drinks came out quickly. We received our soups and salads relatively quickly. As well. I found the wedding soup to be unremarkable and far too salty for my taste. The soup temperature was fine so no issues there. The pasta was average but also too salty for my taste. I tried to judge these without consideration for the high salt taste. I do recognize that saltiness is a matter of opinion so I asked my friend who ordered the baked ziti how theirs tastes and they mentioned it was average tasting but also too salty. It is possible that it was an off day but if this is typical, I would say that the food is too salty. I'm only sharing this purely to help the restaurant. I hope I'm in the minority as I would love to return to this restaurant but I won't be able to while we are not a match on salt usage. read more

We came here a few nights ago for dinner. The server lady was very nice. This restaurant is always clean and the artwork is pretty. The food was excellent. We ate a lot of stuff. I ordered a pastrami sandwich and it came with a house salad. My daughter ordered baked ziti and it was smack a lacking. It came with a pasta fagioli. My daughter has like this soup ever since she was younger. We did order bruschetta as an appetizer and we also got free bread, so we hit bread Heaven tonight. We also had jalapeno potato wedges. Everything tasted really good. We can't wait to go back again as they have many choices on the menu. read more

So today I stopped by to grab some takeout. I ordered a meatball sandwich, pasta fagioli and tiramisu. It's been a while since I've been there, but this time the food was not very good. I hate leaving negative reviews, but it's important they know what customers think. Getting back, the sandwich was very small. It had 4 little meatballs on the whole thing and very little sauce. The meatballs were slightly larger than those little cocktail meatballs. It looked like they topped it with a slice of provolone. The bread was all squished, the meatballs were dense and not at all tender. The soup was good, but I did have to thin it out a bit. That and a tiny piece of tiramisu was almost $22. I was hoping it would be like it was when I first started going, but sadly it was not. On a positive note, the staff at the counter were very nice. read more

I'd never been to the physical restaurant before but ordered delivery from there several times. The place is warm and cozy. There are lots of booths which I love. Seems like it's been there such a long time. It's in a small strip mall and there was adequate parking. We were quoted a wait of 15 min but we were seated as soon as a table became available. Our server was reserved and forgot a couple of things. She offered red or white sauce for our calamari and I told her I wanted both. She didn't bring both out and when I asked her for the white sauce, it took a while. Not to mention, she charged me for it but didn't tell me there would be an additional charge. The food. Wow!! The house bread is so flavorful and buttery!! We ordered calamari, garlic knots, salmon Alfredo and carbonate. All of it was so so so yummy! The pasta is al dente and the sauce so delicious. The salmon was cooked perfectly! One of my favorite spots for Italian. I'll definitely be back and may even be tempted to try something new rather than just getting my original order. read more

My husband and I came here for lunch today, and while the presentations and food were okay, we have other Italian restaurants that we like more. The garlic knot appetizer was good, then I had the pasta bolognese and he had the cannelloni supreme. Both entrees were fine, but not as flavorful as we hoped. The homemade tiramisu was very good though. Our server was also a very nice, young guy, and he did a great job. We were a little disappointed when we first came in too, because the hostess was on her cell phone, and after awhile, grabbed two menus and started walking towards a booth. We assumed she meant for us, so we followed her, but she never said anything to us before or after we sat. It would have been nice if she would have made any kind of gesture to us (like look at us and point "just one minute" or something, but we weren't acknowledged at all). There were a few apparent locals having lunch, so people seemed to like it, but we likely would not return. Free parking in a large lot outside. read more

It a little nice Restaurant food was good but not great. Service average. The main issue I have is that they add to the Bill a tip (15% ), regardless of the service ,you have to pay, and they request an additional tip. ( maybe hopping you wont notice the added tip ) and some probably don't For that reason alone i wont return. read more

I was told that Cannataro's took requests for pizzas so I wanted to see how close they could approximate a New Haven-style White Clam Pie. The answer? Pretty damn close. The clams were of a good size and they practically put heaps of it on the pie, The olive oil served as a perfect light sauce. I could taste the romano and red pepper. I think the only big detour was the crust. The typical apizza is much thinner, but still a bit chewy. This was chewy, but almost overly so for a white clam pizza. But damn it was 80-85% there. It would be unfair to request them to revolutionize their crust just for one specialty request, but if they did, they'd be right there as some of the best pies of the style. Big props to the place for even indulging my off-book ask. I have nothing but respect that is even willing to go that extra mile for a customer. It's definitely raised their status in my book for doing that for me. The butter cake was a good capper too. It was the perfect size--light and sweet enough without being overbearing. I loved it. read more
