Someone suggested we try this place, somewhat hidden just off the freeway. We came on empty stomachs and tried a fairly large variety of foods. The wedding soup was one of the best I've had. The kids ordered fettuccine alfredo with chicken and that's when the night got more quiet. They loved the food. We ordered an Italian meatloaf which was something new to us, and something we will be back for. It came with garlic green beans and the best mash potatoes ever. They didn't need gravy or anything added. They were perfect. We also ordered a Sicilian pizza and again we were beyond pleased with the amount of toppings, flavor, and they make their dough from scratch here. They stuff you nonstop with their house garlic bread; I think we all have little tummy aches. Everyone is friendly, they are extremely timely, and never let your drinks go empty. We will definitely be back and tell all our friends. This was an amazing Sunday dinner. read more

After our favorite Italian place in Pomona closed about 20 years ago, we'd been going to a really good one in Lake Forest, but they closed too right around Covid. We've been looking for a new Italian go-to spot ever since, from Cucamonga to San Dimas to Brea, and it's ranged from "meh, it was OK" to "forgettable", to "I wish I could get the memory of that crap out of my head". Then we tried Cannataro's last night. First off, the ambiance is just right - not too hi-toned, but not grungy either. Clean and cozy. The service was polite, attentive, friendly, and pretty prompt, given that they were fairly busy. (When I called earlier, they said they'd been "slow" this month, so I'm guessing they must normally be packed to the rafters) Now for the food. Garlic bread came out and the crust was just right - crispy but not too thick. Just the right amount of garlic, enough that you can truly taste it, but not so much that you're not getting a good night kiss for three weeks. Then came the soups. Wifey had the Minestrone, I had the Wedding Soup. Minestrone was good; wedding soup was best I've had in years. Normal small cup size, but big chunks of chicken and multiple meatballs, not just the one or two you usually get with that size. Flavor was spot on. I cleaned my bowl and wished I had more. Next up was the stuffed mushrooms. Instead of the usual 90% breadcrumbs and 10% floor sweepings or whatever from other places we've tried, these were packed with meat and cheese and flavor. I could come back and make a whole meal from maybe 3 or 4 orders of just these stuffed mushrooms For entrees, I had the veal Marsala with mushroom ravioli. Wifey had Manicotti Florentine (? the one with spinach and I'm too lazy to click over to the menu to verify) and a side of meatballs. The veal was just right, tender and with a sweet sauce. You could taste the Marsala but it wasn't overpowering. Mushroom quantity was perfect. The weakest part of the meal might have been the mushroom ravioli, a little too creamy inside and couldn't taste the mushroom, but even that was pretty good. Wifey liked her Manicotti, only caveat was a little too al dente for her taste, but that's the way true Italian pasta is, so she's used to it. Overall she really liked it. The meatballs were excellent as well. Very meaty and seasoned properly. The red sauce was also top notch. Finished it up with the butter cake a la mode. We destroyed it in about a minute, it was that good. Then came the bill. All this for under $70. I had to check it twice. No, they didn't forget anything. Needless to say, despite the 25 minute drive we'll be back often. Cannataro's you aced all aspects of being a great Italian restaurant. We finally have a go-to Italian place again after all these years of searching. read more

Service is always quick and the food is excellent . I love supporting our local small business .

Had reservations at 7 for a party of seven was told by rude hostess that we had a to wait for another party to get up. She did not apologize at all for the inconvenience. There were 2 more customers that walked out like we did after waiting 35 mins,It's a shame that the employees don't care. The food looked good too bad we didn't get to taste it. We ate at Johnny Carino's instead hostesses and waiter were awesome. read more

The service is beyond stellar. I went in last night and lucked out by getting seated in Lucie's section. She was so sweet in greeting me and immediately prioritized our party. She was attentive, thoroughly answering any questions we had regarding the food and specials. Lucie recommended the bruschetta as an appetizer and she was spot on- it was refreshing and delicious. She consistently checked in on our group and the others in her section. The mains were amazing and delicious- even though our group ordered a variety of food everything was delicious. We ended the night with the butter cake which was fantastic. Unlike other restaurants we were not rushed or pressured- Lucie made the dine in experience delightful from start to finish. I don't think anyone's drink ever got empty one time. read more

This is a great and tasty restaurant! I ordered their gnocchi with meaty marinara sauce and it was absolutely delicious! Definitely hit the spot, and I also tried their vegetable lasagna which was also full of flavor. The service was good, didn't wait long for our food. Definitely recommend this business read more

Cannataro's - New York Cheescake and Tiramisu - Italian Near Me - Chino, California

I decided to try some new entrees today and as usual, I was not disappointed. The linguine carbonara is filled with bold, rich flavors that kept me coming back for more. The chicken breast was very moist and the linguine was perfectly cooked. The Cannataro special was packed with flavor and the crust was cooked just right with a light crispness. The fettuccine can stand on it's own with no need for any extras. The Alfredo sauce was delicious and perfectly seasoned. I have not yet found a dish that I don't like at Cannataro's. The servers are all wonderful even when they are stretched thin. I encourage you to give this place a try if you have not. read more

We have been to this Restaurant many times, seems the cost has increased significantly and portions are smaller, the quality is still great: the food and waiters are always happy to help, except for one occasion, One of the Waitress had a problem with the tip thinking it was too little and was having a fit . We had a talk with Julie the owner, don't know if the person is still there! JDM read more

Best authentic Italian food in Ontario, and possibly Chino. If you love real authentic food then you can't beat Cannataro's.

Cannataros catered my daughter's graduation party yesterday. They did not disappoint. They were affordable, punctual, professional and friendly. The food was absolutely delicious and a huge hit with our guests. I highly recommend the restaurant and their catering staff. Thank you Julie! read more

Not sure, why it takes 4 years for me to review Cannataro. I have been coming here since we moved to Chino 6 years ago. I came in when this place still a 'little hole in the wall' Italian dining. 6 years after, Cannataro is still going strong. They kept the quality of their food. They improved the seatings for their customer and the inside decor of the restaurant. And they managed to keep the cost of the food stable for many years. I am looking forward to another 6 years from now. I wish they can branch off and become something like Olive Garden and Maggiano combined. Now, let's move onto the food: 1. Their Italian Wedding Soup, is a must try. It is so good for an opening of your meal. 2. Their hearty Garlic bread. OMG, it is to die for. Crispy bread with fresh garlic butter freshly toasted. 3. My all time favorite, Linguini Pescatore. It is just impeccable especially with those succulent prawns dancing in it. Right amount of Olive in the Pescatore sauce, it makes you go Yummm. 4. My wife's all time favorite, Tilapia Pomodoro. The tilapia is well seasoned and fried into perfection; crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The Pomodoro sauce is so fresh, chopped fresh tomatoes, garlic and olive oil sauted into perfection with the spinach. You just got to try it... Thank you Cannataro for the many beautiful dinner you served us over these past 4 years. read more

Cannataro's - Sampler platter - Italian Near Me - Chino, California

Okay so I have to give this restaurant 5 stars versus their pizza is GOOD. As a pizza connoiseur, yeah... this pizza makes the cut I've had pizza here twice. In case you're wondering, service is attentive... the first time it was slower and the second time it was busy. They are very accommodating, nice, they give you bread as a starter, and most of all, the good tastes great. This is a definite solid choice and I highly recommend it. read more

Absolutely amazing food!!!! I normally don't like anyone's lasagna but mine, however this lasagna is DELICIOUS, even with the sausage and I don't care for sausage, you must try it at least once, you will continue to go back-- read more

My review is about the delivery I ordered today. The online ordering seemed pretty easy. Pick your meal, add to cart. Easy. I ordered Chicken cacciatore and stuffed mushrooms. The order was delivered at the time promised. So far so good. I opened up the bag, and....no utensils. Luckily I had a plastic fork from another delivery. But, i could not eat any of the chicken because I have no knife. Also, my plastic fork wouldn't cut through the mushrooms, so I had to eat them with my fingers. There was no parmesan for the spaghetti. Once again, I luckily had packets from the pizza that was delivered last week. Your primary food is pasta. There should be parmesan included with every delivery. And utensils with every delivery. My chicken is in the fridge until I can buy a plastic knife, or get better delivery from someone else. Or maybe just throw it away. I called to ask them for utensils (i did pay $7 for delivery) but they don't answer their phone. I don't recommend delivery. Or eating pasta with your fingers. read more

First time we went it was a weekend and the food, and fresh garlic bread was delicious, we couldn't wait to go back! 2 weeks later we went back and it was like eating in a completely different restaurant, garlic bread wasn't the same, dressing didn't taste the same and the food seemed a bit salty. I think it might be hit or miss. The place was crowded both time with a waitlist, which seems to show that most people really like it. We will try again. The service is excellent and the restaurant is nicely decorated. I'm sure next time will be like the first! read more

I did not have the same experience that the other reviewers had and I am not likely to return. The salad, pasta and garlic bread were average. I could tell from the menu this restaurant might be a typical Americanized pasta and pizza place with an Italian feel but the food would not resemble food from Italy. Similar to Lomeli, Frantalino, Vince's, Olive Garden. Spaghetti Factory, etc. I decided to get the pasta dish they named after the restaurant, Pasta Cannataro's. You can read the description in the photo I attached and that is pretty much what it was, except there was almost no basil in it and I could not detect fresh garlic. The dish had something around the outside for looks but that looked like dried parsley. I found it a little heavy on the olive oil and lacking in garlic and basil flavor. Pasta was cooked perfectly. So that is the food review. The check came and I noticed the pasta dish was priced a dollar higher on the check when compared to the menu. The server left to have that fixed. No big deal. The Chianti I ordered was not very good, so I decided to look up the brand so I can avoid it in the future. The menu said 4.25 but I was charged 7. I was overcharged for the two items I ordered - what are the odds that it was a simple mistake? I decided to sign the check and leave. This is unethical and not just an error at this point. In my business life, if I discovered this mistake, I would have to pull checks as far back as I can and credit people who paid too much. The server is young but a word of advice: take the responsibility to get it fixed without blaming "them" or "Julie" and be more familiar with the menu and the prices so you can glance at every check before you deliver it. You are Quality Control for the food and the check. read more

We've eaten here more than 10 years food is authentic and the owner truly cares about the quality

Stuffed mushrooms - BOOM! Linguine and Clams - BOOM! Garlic Knots - BOOM! Linguine Carbonara - BOOM! They're so jam packed with orders that you might have to keep calling and calling to order takeout! read more

A friend referred me and I am so glad they did. The food was delicious and the serving size was huge!

Went there not expecting good or bad. I had Chicken Parmesan and spaghetti. My friends had sausage and spaghetti. I was absolutely disappointed. The sauce was almost as bad as Chef Boyardee in a can, and the Chicken Parmesan was not even tender, and it was covered with the same sad sauce. Other than the cheese , it was also pathetic and disgusting. If I served dishes like that, I would be embarrassed. Will definitely never be going back again. read more

The food and service are always excellent!! We love it here! If you're looking for authentic Italian food, Cannataro's is the best!

We were a party of 11, most of us from out of town. We chose this place because of the reviews from Yelp. We ordered the calamari and garlic bread which were delicious! We then proceeded to order our entrees. Our drinks came without any straws and the iced teas came with no sweeteners. We had to take the sugar caddy from the neighboring table. Our drinks were never refilled. When our food came... the meatballs tasted rubbery like it was reheated while the bolognese tasted bland. Luckily the mushroom ravioli was phenomenal The restaurant closes at 10pm but at 9:20-930pm staff began cleaning, spraying the tables around us. We felt very pressured to leave . We noticed they started to place the chairs on top of the and left a mountain of dirt right behind us. It was gross read more

The food is amazing. The soup is life changing. The service is okay, as they were very busy the day we went. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The highlight of the show definitely has to go to the Wedding Day soup, move over chicken soup we have a contender for Soup for the Soul!!!! This soup was so heart-warming that it made me feel pure comfort from the first spoon. Every rainy day should be accompanied by this soup, stay in the bed with your fave and enjoy under the covers and be in pure comfort bliss. Really though, come for the soup and stay for everything else!! The food was delicious. I will have to return to try the rest of their menu. The desserts escaped me last time.......... read more

Good food, great service, nice selections of wine for any budget, I would definitely recommend

Everything is EXCELLENT! Food is amazing...Pizza is magical--crust, cheese, topping! Pasta Bolognese & Shrimp Ravioli w Pink Sauce are outstanding. Wedding Soup & Pasta Fagioli are super tasty; the garlic bread is wonderful. Desserts (Crème Brûlée especially) can use a little help but still good. Tiramisu was tasty! And their coffee is really yummy. Service is good but the place can get very busy and servers try to be as patient and kind despite running around crazily! Simply decorated...comfy and not overly frilly. Looking forward to returning soon. read more
