If you are in the mood for some good Italian food in a relaxed Old World setting, you might want to pay a visit to Cariera's Cucina Italiana in Orlando, Florida. Cariera's offers a wide selection of authentic Italian dishes, fast and friendly service, and a tranquil setting, all at a reasonable price. Here is a restaurant review of Cariera's Cucina Italiana in Orlando, Florida.

Cariera's Cucina Italiana is located at Dr. Phillips Market Place, at 7600 Dr. Phillips Boulevard. Its convenient location makes it a great place to stop by for lunch or dinner, while shopping at the nearby stores, including Barnes & Noble and Home Goods. Cariera's offers both indoor and outdoor seating, as well as a full service bar and televisions so you can catch the big game.

Cariera's menu offers something for everyone. They serve delicious American or Italian style pizzas, sandwiches, chicken or pasta dishes, burgers, soups and salads, appetizers, desserts and more. Everything is freshly made with wholesome ingredients. They have been a family-owned and operated business since 1975.

The staff is well-dressed and polite. They are more than happy to answer your questions, and go out of their way to make your meal a more pleasing experience. The prices at Cariera's Cucina Italiana are affordable. For two people, plan on spending approximately $20 to $25, not including the tip.

The decor at Cariera's Cucina Italiana is nothing special, but the place does make you feel at home. There are dozens of pictures of customers and staff lining the walls. The plates are colorful and look as though they've just been rescued from your grandmother's kitchen. If you are looking to recapture a bit of that Old World feel, Cariera's Cucina Italiana is just the ticket.

I highly recommend their pizza. Every one of their pies is magnificent, but I mostly recommend their margarita pizza with crushed tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella. It's nearly as good as the pie you would find in northern Italy.

Cariera's Cucina Italiana has a second location in Orlando, Florida, at the Cornerstone at Lake Hart. The address is 10663 Narcoossee Road, Suite 108. You can call them at their Dr. Phillips address at 407-351-1187, and at their Lake Hart address at 321-235-1931.

There are many good restaurants in the Dr. Phillips area, but many of them are quite expensive. Cariera's is an affordable alternative if you just want to do some shopping and enjoy a relaxing bite to eat.
