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 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

Restaurant was clean and busy. Food was fresh & delicious and didn't take long to be served which I appreciated. Server was friendly, courteous, and attentive even though the restaurant was full of happy customers. I hope to return soon even though I drove from Santa Ana because it was worth it. read more

Our family usually loves coming here. Never had a problem with the service until now. Our server Cassandra didn't check on us. We were just served the dishes then forgotten about. Oddly enough, this was during opening where there were barely any other customers. We had to get up and ask for napkins, water, and hot sauce. Thankfully, the manager was receptive to our feedback. 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

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

We wanted to call and place an order but someone there just kept hanging up the phone. We tried several times, but I guess they don't want our business ‍. We tried it once before and loved the food, so we were hoping this would become our local go-to spot. read more

Great lil local spot hidden in the MT 60 shopping center food is fresh and very tasty good service great prices will be back

Their wedding soup is AMAZING! I come here just for that soup alone. This cute little restaurant tucked in the corner of the parking lot always serves hearty good meals. We always enjoy their 2 for $30. Their serving portions are generous and it's just the cutest little Italian restaurant right here in Chino. Yes, better than Olive Garden. 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

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

This restaurant is hidden in the far corner of a shopping center. Most of the stores there don't get much traffic except for this restaurant. Inside the restaurant, there's a nice Italian theme going on. The service is subpar but the food is good. The young waitress we had forgot our oil/vinegar and when we asked for something, she never stopped acknowledged us and just walked by quickly. The older waitresses were nice and stopped by and asked if we needed anything. 1. Linguine Carbonara - This is a must have dish. The mushrooms and bacon are the primary flavor. Nice mix of salty, creamy, and rich. DO NOT MICROWAVE the next day though. You'll be surprised how much oil separates from the sauce. 2. Lasagna - Average tasting lasagna. Not bad, not that great either. 3. Fettuccini - The fettuccini here is amazing. Well salted and creamy. 4. Spicy Calamari - Average calamari, what makes it spicy are the fried jalapeno peppers. 5. Tiramisu - Great desert to finish the night. The lady fingers were too grainy and well combined. read more

We have driven past this restaurant probably hundreds of times over the years and I finally said to my husband that we should try it. We did on Wednesday late afternoon before Thanksgiving. We arrived around 3:30ish and Kerri seated and served us. My husband ordered the Sampler Platter which included Chicken Parmesan, Fettuccine Alfredo and Lasagna. I had the Cannelloni Supremo. Both dishes were excellent! Full of flavor and definitely made with a lot of love. Our server Kerri was Amazing! She was patient with us as it was our first time and didn't hesitate answering all of our questions. She was super friendly, bubbly, quick with service and we had a lot of fun with her! She even brought us a piece of the Homemade Tiramisu stating we had to try it and it was to die for. My husband, who doesn't really care for Tiramisu, ate it and loved it! Today, Saturday, came along and my husband decided we needed to go back and try their pizza because they make their own dough and sauce. So, we went around 4:00pm and it was a little busy, but we were seated right away. Kerri wasn't working so Eli served us. He was super friendly, very polite, personable and quick with service as well. We ordered a Medium Cannataro's Special Pizza and a large house salad to share. The salad was fresh and delicious and their balsamic vinaigrette is bomb! The pizza came out piping hot and fresh from the oven and let me tell you they do not skimp on the toppings! Our pizza was LOADED with pepperoni, sausage, meatballs, red onions, mushrooms, green bell peppers, olives, garlic and of course cheese. I could only eat 2 pieces and was full but I didn't feel stuffed and heavy. Usually when eating pizza I feel heavy like there is a brick in my stomach, but not with this pizza! It wasn't greasy at all and the crust was perfectly crispy on the bottom but soft when biting into it. The pizza is perfection!! By the time we were leaving the place was packed and there was a long line of people waiting. The inside of the restaurant is quaint, cozy, clean and nicely lit. If you're like us and have passed by this restaurant numerous times definitely take the time to stop in, I promise you will not be disappointed. This is our new go to spot for Italian!!! 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

Been going to Cannataro's for over 12 year and the food and service are still great. Love the ambiance, nice and intimate.

The food presentation was honestly nice everything looked really good when it came out. But sadly the taste didn't match the visuals. We ordered the Little Italy pizza which was super cheesy and loaded with tomatoes but not much flavor beyond that. The Linguini Pescatore was the biggest letdown. It was bland with zero seasoning. I actually had to go home and add salt, pepper, and tomato sauce just to make it edible. They did give complimentary garlic bread and wedding soup, which was a nice gesture, but the soup was way too salty. I don't mind paying more especially being in Chino. But if the food is going to be on the pricier side, it should at least taste good. Overall everything looked better than it tasted. I don't think I will come back again as there are more better Italian restaurants that are good ! read more

It was our first time dining at this restaurant. The foods are very good but too salty, if the chefs reduce the salt then it will be perfect . I will definitely come back again to try other dishes on the menu . read more

Food is always excellent! We had the Taste of Italy special for two. Each entree comes with soup or salad. Then your choice of entrees. The lasagna was delicious. The right balance of cheese and sauce. Also had spaghetti and meatballs. Two large meatballs that were delicious. Highly recommend. Had a dessert, which was extra. The butter cake is so yummy! read more

Tasty Italian food. But it took forever to get our drink orders in after sitting down, and the food did take a while, longer than usual. But the pepperoni pizza was the highlight. Their meat sauce spaghetti is average... I've had better. Their garlic bread was decent. read more

This place holds a special place in my heart as it was my first date spot with my now wife. Everytime we go we are able to try something new that we enjoy, but we also stick to some things that are consistently good. Their hot sausage add one to any pasta dish is to die for. We also enjoy their stuffed mushrooms as well as the wedding soup option that comes with the meal. If you order out, ordering directly from the restaurant you get the soup or salad that you would not get ordering from a third party delivery place. The staff is always kind despite always being really busy. I am so glad they are opened on Sundays now as we use to crave coming here on Sundays only to find out it was closed. Definitely a nice budget mom and pop Italian Restaurant that I recommend to family and friends. read more

I've been here 3 times & each time I've been here it's amazing! Everything is fantastic!. I've ordered something different each time, & it was all great. The service is also great!

The picture we uploaded everything was gone. We totally forgot to take a picture! read more

Such a great local family owned Italian spot! Who doesn't love carb galore? Service is amazing, very relaxing and perfect for a romantic date night. They unfortunately need to train their staff to pack to-go orders better. We've order to-go twice and both times something happened. Our first take out order we had a large order and had 4 soups. They stacked all the soups on top of one another, by the time we got home one of the lids cracked and the entire bag was filled with soup. Luckily the bag seams weren't coming apart otherwise we would have a puddle of soup in the car. Stuffed Mushrooms- amazing, broiled to perfection giving the cheese a crisp layer. Linguine Carbonara- hands down the best I've ever had and I don't like bacon. I love that they add mushrooms and they're cooked just right. Chicken wasn't dry. read more

Real Italian food, not want-to-be like some of the chain restaurants. I haven't had anything here I didn't like. All of the pastas are delicious and so are the sauces. Their dinner salad is one of the best around and their appetizer bread is not to be missed, there's usually a fight over the last piece. read more

Nice family owned Italian place in chino. Service was great and we really love the wedding soup. Meals were authentic and flavorful. Portion sizes were good too. Would recommend for people over Olive Garden , old spaghetti factory etc since they're the same price point. Overall good experience will be back when craving Italian food. Not 5 stars because it was good not amazing read more

I used to come here with my parents as a kid and decided to place a takeout order because I'm in town for the holidays... the lady in the front was so rude :( I asked if they do bread and butter and she cut me off rudely and just said "no" okay... ? So I came on yelp to see they do actually have garlic bread, that looks amazing actually.. And I wish she would have said they had bread as an option even if it was to purchase? Although it looks like it's complimentary based on these reviews. Mind you, I walked in looking horrible and in sweat pants so maybe I was just profiled. Either way, came back after not having Cannataro's since 2006 and what a heartbreak. 2 starts instead of 1 because the food is actually amazing just can't imagine wanting to spend any money here with service like this /: read more

I absolutely love Cannataros. For many years, it's been a local favorite family owned Italian place. Great food, but please know it's not a pretentious place. If you're a dandy gentrified nouveau riche kinda person who swears by Eataly or North Italian.... Then Cannataros isn't for you. Whether lunch or dinner, you can sit down, have great no-nonsense Italian with fast attentive service at a great price even during inflationary times! If it isn't already, Cannataro's should be one of your favorites in the Chino and surrounding areas. read more

My husband and I love Cannataro's! It's that good old school Italian comfort food. You feel like you're in someone's dining room because the staff and owner are so nice and kind. My husband loves the rigatoni with sausage. My favorite is the pasta carbonara and shrimp pasta. Each meal comes with soup or salad. read more

The food was good and the staff was very attentive. I had the fettuccine alfredo and I loved it.

Came here with my husband for our anniversary. The food was great and the service was friendly. It's been a couple years since we had been there but the ambiance was still nice. My only warning for you is that if you're looking to go some place quickly, this isn't it. The place was PACKED on a Thursday evening and we spent in total about an hour and a half there. We ate quickly; it was just a long wait to get seated. The waitress was very busy but very kind. We really like it here! No complaints; but it's such a nice place that it's super busy so just be prepared to wait a long time. read more
