Cannataros Italian Restaurant

Very small restaurant and with a 20 minute wait for dinner. If you like just the taste of tomatoes then this is the place for you! I found it to be very bland food, no real Italian flavor and my meal lack the meat that was mention in my menu selection. Prices should be cheaper for quality and quantity. Best part of meal was the bread. I was very disappointed.

For a small restaurant it has OK food but I was overall disappointed. Need better flavor to some of their dishes. The booths are uncomfortable. If you a tall person you will have not trouble with the high tables and low booth seats, but if you are 5'4 and under, well, it will be uncomfortable. The menu needs to be upgraded with different dishes as the selection is not too vast. The dishes that have chicken; well, the restaurant needs to use real chicken, not the awful tasting process chicken they use. I haven't recommended this place to any of my Italian friends or family due to the use of process chicken and alike. And appetizers really do need to be served way before the salad let alone the main entree.

I cannot say enough and really do not know where to start as to what makes this Italian restaurant such a great rare find!Their motto is "Dine under the vines", and being an authentic Italian restaurant with a very "at home" family and romantic date atmosphere makes this in itself rare. The owners are sure to grant each customer that personal attention from the first experience. You need not be a regular or one of the "rich and famous" to feel like a V.I.P.I was first taken here on a "casual date" after a day of hiking trails. I am a model that has lived in Beverly Hills and the central LA area over 8 years and experienced every 5 star, celebrity spot, and also the very best "word of mouth" small family owned luxuries my area has to offer.Without formal plans to dine after our hiking,I was amazed how we were fit into the quite full list of reservations. (though I would recommend making reservations on weekends or holidays.) We never felt a burden, but as (cont.)

This is our favorite pick for Italian Food in the Inland Empire. They are the nicest people and everyone is so friendly. We always usually get Ashley that serves to us and she always knows what we want even before we do! She always remembers what we like to drink and she treats us like she's serving friends that have come to her home. Very relaxed and casual setting, but this place has a very intimate feel so it would be perfect as a date place, very cozy. The food is amazing. We highly recommend the pasta Cannataros and also love the appetizers. We've never ordered anything here that wasn't delicious and well prepared. When you arrive at the table they almost immediately give you this basket of little garlic breads that get your appetite going and it doesn't stop till it's time to leave. If you haven't tried Cannataros you are definitely missing out on a great dining experience. They are one of our best kept dining secrets and we're almost reluctant to share it with anyone because they are a major find!

This was a nice setting for a small, very inexpensive restaurant on Mountain and I-60, delivering excellent service and food. I was waited on by a waiter named Mickey, he was very proffesional, was very aware of the menu, all items and sauces. He was by far, once of the best waiters I have had in California, which was shocking for such a small restaurant. He explained the menu in great detail, told me of the chefs and how wonderful they were. He also, seemed to very excited about the prospect of his employer doing well and in hopes she will be able to grow larger or increase her clientelle numbers. He demonstrated to me the history of his employer located on the back of the menu. At the time, he told me his favorite dishes and the four of us at the table tried each of his recommendations. The experiece was one I would have expected in an expensive Los Angeles restaurant, but with the prices of that of a Chino place. I give this my highest compliment for the service and food.
