It was all pretty good. Food good; service great; ambiance good. Looking forward to going back

My girlfriend and I went for dinner on Wednesday September 17th. 25 minute wait, Our server seemed overwhelmed. She was wearing a black face covering which made it very difficult to understand her. Salad had the incorrect dressing, bread was cold, the server would just walk past our table without asking if we needed anything else, it seemed like we were more of a nuisance than a customer. I usually love the food and the service but for some reason today was not that day. read more

Update: Well today I found out that thanks to a glitch in the GrubHub system on this restaurants end, the pricing was wrong. They called me and told me. Which not only left my friends party without food. But took over an hour of my day to resolve with this restaurant and GrubHub. At least I get a refund.. at least that's what I've been told by GrubHub. So an update to my review they charge between $1 and $3.50 per topping. Over their $17.99 build your own pizza pricing. I was told that the pizza I ordered before would be $70 per Pizza. Not including tax or other fees on GrubHub. Do not order from GrubHub. Let's face it times have changed. Getting what you pay for is getting harder and harder. Most places give you the least amount they can get away with. This is definitely not one of those places This is the place where they say build your own and give you a ton of toppings to choose from and allow you to put as many on as you want for the same price. No per topping cost like the rest. Unfortunately, the pictures don't show how large this pizza is and there's no way for me to show you how heavy it is. But I chose to have almost every topping put on and they added everyone of my choices. Mushroom, onion, black olive, green pepper, sun dried tomato, fresh garlic, artichoke hearts, pineapple, fresh spinach, pepperoni, Italian, sausage, hot sausage, capicola, pastrami, canadian bacon and homemade meatball. Plus cheese. On a thick crust. Maybe not something everyone would like, but I know every time I get to order a pizza like this. It makes me feel like a King. And an Extra Large pizza for $17.99 with that many toppings. By far the best deal I've ever found and quickly became my Favorite pizza place and they deliver to your house. If you're an Amazon prime member go to your GrubHub they have specials sometimes where they give you money off helps you with the price . But honestly, worth every dime. Tastes even better than it looks. Feed yourself for a few days or feed your entire family either way you'll be happy you ordered from here. I know every time I have.. I am. Highly recommended read more

Cannataro's - Ribeye and Broccoli and a carnivore calzone! Excellent! - Italian Near Me - Chino, California

I hate to leave a bad review but twice I've ordered for delivery and both times the food just wasn't good. The food quality is bad, especially for what they're charging. We just recently ordered to give this place a second chance, I ordered the Italian wedding soup and the grilled chicken and vegetable salad. Husband ordered lemon chicken with pasta and a side of the sausage. My soup was ice cold. It's like they just poured the refrigerated soup into a container without heating it up and sent it off. So I microwaved it. There were huge chunks of chicken breast in it, I've never had Italian wedding soup with chicken. There were 2 tiny meatballs. There was zero flavor, it tasted like water. The salad was weird. It was a bed of lettuce, and frozen veggies that were obviously microwaved (so soggy) with a ton of mozzarella cheese thrown on top. The chicken did have decent flavor though. Husband said his food was alright, just not worth the price. The first time we ordered I got the spaghetti, and it just tasted like jarred sauce on pasta. I just don't think it's worth the money and not worth a third try. read more

Tried this place again after waiting for 15 mins and no one came to at least take our drink order so we left. This time it took 10 mins but at least they took drink and food order. Food was good but then it came time to pay. NOW they are charging an extra 4.1% to pay with card...WOW And didn't see it posted anywhere. So now it will be LESS tip for server and less visits too. read more

A staple in the community...this place is old world (that's a good thing youngsters) full of flavor and the aroma of garlic and spices fill the quaint restaurant like an Italian potpourri! It's all good but let me tell ya...don't sleep on the pizza! read more

Always loved the chicken parmigiana sandwich if not my go to would be the trio containing fettuccine, lasagna and chicken parmigiana

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

This place has pretty good food but their service is absolutely terrible. Their servers/hostess won't even acknowledge you while you are waiting to be seated. We walked in and there was a few people waiting and after about 10 minutes someone FINALLY address the people who just walked in. The hostess then continues to seat the people who just walked in while myself and others were waiting first. We left. Come here if you like shitty service. read more

Delicious food great atmosphere staff is great too absolutely love it and highly recommend it!

This was The second time that I went to Cannataro's restaurant... The first time i wasthere was a very good experience. It was very delicious. The second time I was craving for calamari So I ordered Appetizer medley which was calamari and mozzarella sticks .... so so so disappointed with the calamari. It was so overcooked crunchy like eating CHICHARON... I don't know what happened to that. It was an Italian restaurant and I know Italians know how to cook their calamari .... to the owner of the restaurant please try your Calamari and you will know what I'm talking about ....Way way overcooked read more

Cannataro's - A Papa-sized Cannataro's Special calzone. - Italian Near Me - Chino, California

If you are trying to get dinner here on a weekend, plan on having an early dinner. Think 4:30 or 5 PM. This place is not too big and gets packed early, not much air circulation so the body heat causes much warmth. The service is a what's to be expected when it's busy, you see your waiter a total of 5 times during your 1.5 hour dinner for a party of 6. No drink refills unless you hound someone down. No check-in's to see if you're ok. I am not too sure why people say this place reminds you of Italy. It reminded me of a closed off, dark generic 90's style restaurant. Didn't get much of an Italian-vibe. You do see the owner (I assume) talking to regulars but kind of nonchalant to the new customers. The bathroom situation is difficult as there's only 1 toilet in a family restaurant. Quite difficult when your potty-training toddler old needs to go. Lol! You are really going here for the taste of the pasta dishes and the portions. Every pasta dish we ordered was a knock-out! From the generous garlic bread baskets to the sampler platter. Everything was delicious and we had a lot to take home. The mac and cheese for kids uses a smaller pasta and it's really saucy and cheesy, I can't tell you what cheese (maybe a sharp White Cheddar) it was white and had a bitter/sharp cheddar profile. Luckily, my toddler didn't mind (thank goodness) and ate a few bites. Julie's wedding soup was good, we enjoyed the tiny meatballs and vegetables in it. I appreciated that it was not overly salty. The stuffed mushrooms were just OK, you can't really taste the ground beef or ricotta cheese which was a bummer. Overall, this place has a great variety of well tasting pasta options to choose from and that's what mattered to us that evening. read more

I don't even want to leave 1 star... Anyway my husband and I waited 20 minutes tonight (Friday) and we were there before it was crowded at 5pm. Gave our name & phone number.. There was just a group of 4 that was there before us, they were seated approximately 10minutes in our 20-minute wait. Next a group of kids came in and.they were going to seat them. My husband stopped that from occurring and in about 5-6 minutes we were seated. The waitress took our drink order and returned promptly to get our order. She brought out our salads and then the wait started all over again. We understand she was busy but now we have been there over an hour.. She went by us numerous times and never said anything about the food would be out soon.. So we finally stopped her and asked for the bill for the drinks & salad. She then said the food is ready and she will bring it out., But my husband had enough and asked for the bill again. She then said it was on the house. My husband wanted to speak to the manager and he knew right where he was(the kitchen) Argument pursued and they were each others face. I finally convinced my husband to go...Honestly, I have never seen a manager act like this before to the customer. Dont worry we will not be back and will tell everyone else not to go ! read more

Today, I was really craving authentic Italian. I happened to be in the Chino area for a doctor's appointment. I Yelped Italian restaurants and saw this place and the excellent reviews. So, I decided why not and give it a shot. I was craving fettuccine alfredo anyways. I ordered: 1. Strawberry Italian Soda 2. Fettucine Supremo (w/ chicken & brocolli) 3. Tiramisu and butter cake to go The pasta came with garlic bread and soup or salad ($3.00 more). I got the salad with ranch. It was delicious. The cheese, black olives and ranch dressing were so fresh and delicious. I did the Gluten-Free penne to replace the fettucine. I thought it was just OKAY. I would either do the noodles or a different pasta next time. I just did not enjoy it and found the sauce to be too watery. I did not try the desserts but look forward to ! The hit though was the Italian soda. The strawberry soda was so super refreshing and flavorful. I give this place a 5 for this drink, the cordial staff and welcoming feeling it had. I would love to go back and try out some of their items next time. Definitely worth it !!!!! read more

We had the strangest experience on Thursday, May 22 at 3 pm. I arrived about 5-10 minutes before my friend and I was seated at a booth near the front area. Our waiter asked for my drink order and I only had water due to being on a strong antibiotic so no alcohol. My friend arrived and within 2 minutes of her sitting down the waiter was asking for our meal order. I asked if there were any specials and he said no. I asked about happy hour specials and at first he said no and then said oh 50% off of appetizers. I ordered two appetizers and my friend had a pasta dish. We were visiting and the restaurant was not busy and there were no people waiting to be seated. We paid our bill and continued to visit. We had not even been there 2 hours but the waiter came up and asked us to leave as they needed the booth. We were floored. It wasn't like there were no other booths available. It was so disappointing as my friend loves the place but after that she said she is never going back there as what they did was so unprofessional and disrespectful. read more

Have been here once before a couple years ago and there was nothing memorable about it. Gave it another shot while in town bc my parents were raving about it since they had just discovered it. So I thought maybe they had gotten better since years had passed. But sadly I was wrong. Arrived at around 5pm and it was easy to find a seat, got there right before the dinner rush. The service was nice, our waiter was very nice and attentive. But the food.. the food was very blah. The complimentary garlic bread was good I will give them that. It was soft, buttery crunchy on the edges and garlicky. The main entrees on the other hand were definitely not.. I ordered the chicken piccata and man. It was flavorless, it was as if they poured the entire jar of capers into my dish. Extremely overpowering and getting really annoying to separate them from my noodles. The broccoli chicken Alfredo my wife ordered tasted as if I opened a Marie Calendar's frozen dinner and popped in the microwave for 2 mins. Bland and just not it. The carbonara which is made with bacon not pancetta, was all bacon flavored. The sauce was creamy but it was way too over powered by the bacon. I'm assuming they cooked it in the bacon grease because it was like a slap in the face with bacon. Olive Garden was better than this place and I don't say that lightly. The restaurant was quiet, mostly "older" customers which can explain why the food was/is very bland. They need to accommodate their pallets.. the jalapeño spinach dip was good, VERY spicy and the mozzarella sticks did have a nice cheese pull and ok in flavor. But then again no one is going there for just appetizers and a bread basket, that's the only reason I'm giving them 3 . Unfortunately I did not take any pictures bc I was not impressed in the slightest. read more

This is the best Mom & Pop Italian restaurant in town. Their "gravy" (spaghetti sauce) is comparable to what my my mom used to cook all day Sunday. You can tell that there's lots of love in it. Wow it was a blessing to meet the owner's daughter last night. Very nice Blessings, Steve and Tina read more

Her attitude and her willingness to help and her knowledge of your products. Her display of kindness to other customers.

I am very disappointed with my recent visit, which marks my third poor experience here. Despite having a reservation, I was initially ignored after being acknowledged, resulting in a long wait to be seated. Once seated, service was incredibly slow for both drinks and food. It is clear that the quality and service have gone down significantly, and I am not sure if I will be returning. read more

Meetup Group's Good Choice It was a 17 miles drive from my residence to the venue, where we met for lunch. Kudos to our host! It was a great authentic family style restaurant. The Lunch Pasta Cannataros was very good, it came with a cup of Wedding Soup - $11.95. The soup was on a salty side for me, but was fairy ok not greasy. I didn't know why it called "wedding soup" I guess this must be the tradition serving at wedding somewhere in Italy. For dessert, I had Spumoni Ice Cream! - $5.99 - OMG it was heavenly indulgence! Serving on top was a layer of cream with chocolate strips. Very very joyous !! Ashly, the daughter of the owner happened to take care our table. She was wonderful and sweet! The ambiance was pleasantly homely, considering our own high note added on. If I wasn't living this far from the eatery, I would be visiting all the time! Highly recommended! Bon appetite! read more

Food and service are great. We were able to get reservations at the busy Christmas season for a family gathering.

Had takeout while I was visiting family in California and this place did not disappoint. I had the cannataros special calzone and it was full of fillings and flavor. The mama size was enough for two meals. The crust was just thin enough that it had a little crisp, but still deliciously doughy. I can't speak to the service or ambiance, since everything was to go, but I'd definitely go back for more! read more

Save your time and money and go somewhere else. I was so excited to try this place on a diet cheat day. You would think everything is great if you are starving... Starter: The eggplant starter was good, but did not have parsley as pictured and barely any parm cheese. Thank goodness they have some on the table. The marinara sauce tastes like the paste has not been cooked out correctly. It seems like a doctored-up canned sauce. We had to ask our server for bread. Everybody else around us got bread served right away with their drinks. He brought drinks, then our starter, and then then soup and salad, but still no bread. When we asked for some, he responded, "Oh, you want bread?" I don't know why, but he brought us chopped up pieces of bread. When we asked for seconds, from another server, we got normal pieces like those of other people around us. The minestrone soup tasted like canned tomato soup with added enhancements. Not good at all. It reminded me of hospital cafeteria soup. My husband ordered lasagne. Barely any cheese and it was barely melted and pale. Not an attractive dish at all. The temp was really suffering. The linguine with clam sauce tasted like canned clams -- almost like a canned tuna consistency -- and there was no garlic flavor or fragrant scent at all. The wine flavor was absent. My fault for not asking if they use fresh clams or not. The sauce was gummy too. I asked our server for a side of sauteed garlic in hopes of giving it some flavor, and he came back with flavorless minced jarred garlic that had been barely heated in oil. HOW CAN YOU be an Italian restaurant and not use real garlic cloves? That alone makes a dish stand out. I should have know that we should leave when I did not smell that familiar aroma. This is a really cute place and the people working there are super nice, but the cooking is not very good at all. I wonder when the last time was that the owner tried the food being served. I'm positive they would not like being served chopped up bread and flavorless lukewarm food. read more

This hidden Italian gem in Chino, tucked behind Black Bear Diner in a plaza, is a must-try. I've been here twice, and it never disappoints. The food is fresh and absolutely delicious. We ordered several dishes and opted for family-style dining so everyone could sample the variety. Everything paired perfectly with a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon. I highly recommend this spot if you're looking to support local restaurants--it's a fantastic dining experience. read more

We ordered 2 pasta bolognese to go. Searched long and hard but could not find or taste any meat (pictures below)... pretty sure this was just a regular pasta marina. They do get 1 star because the garlic knot tasted pretty good... but they did ask what sauce we wanted .. we said marina as listed on the receipt... but when we opened the bag we got no sauce. Lastly... the minestrone soup... it was so thick that I thought it was sauce for the pasta.. also super salty. read more

At first glance the restaurant did seem cozy and had a home welcoming vibe. However the reason for the low review was due to the fact that the first time and last time we came here we weren't properly attended, when we were seated our first time. We were reading the selection of food which seemed intriguing but people that came in after us were being served first and being brought their drinks. Although we came first. So we were never given service after 30 minutes read more

My family and I have come here several times and service was always good. Today, however, service is awful and pizza was horrible! First, waitlist said 5 minutes, but we waited 35 minutes to be seated. Second, after getting a table, we were ignored. The people who came after us were greeted and orders taken. Then, our server got our drinks wrong and the plates were dirty and greasy. Finally, when our pizza arrived, the crust in the center was burnt. Inedible! read more

Service was good. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Food was only okay. I got the Shrimp Scampi and it was way too salty. The Italian Wedding soup was good but nothing special like what people are hyping about. The garlic bread was good but again nothing special.
