Cariera's is a family owned authentic Italian restaurant with a full service bar. Entertainment on Friday and Saturday.

.When you are looking for the best Italian
cooking in town, there’s a place in Dr. Phillips
that will take your taste buds on a savory journey.
In the business for more than 30 years, Cariera’s
by Casteli Cucina Italiana is the ‘go to’ place for
hearty Italian meals. If you don’t believe me,
listen to the locals who have voted this hidden
gem as the Best Italian Restaurant
and Best Place for Pizza for the
last two years.
Since it opened its doors so many
years ago, Cariera’s has undergone
a major facelift. A comfortable
outdoor patio greets you at the
door but it’s the inside that sports
the new features. The famous deli
is still there with the finest imported meats,
cheeses, olives and homemade antipasti, but a
modern look has replaced the family restaurant’s
vintage booths and décor. Pop art is displayed
throughout the bar area and the spacious main
dining room with its soft colors and linen tables
creates a romantic atmosphere for those looking
to spend quality time friends and family.
Even with all the changes, the award winning
cuisine and specialty drinks are still the same. If
you decide to sit in the bar area with its beautiful
wood top and expert mixologists, in addition
to their extensive wine list, they also have a full
service bar offering a wide selection of liquors,
ports, and cognacs.
The menu leaves nothing to be desired. With
eights pages full of traditional flare, Cariera’s
by Castelli offers antipasto, salads, appetizers,
sandwiches, gourmet American and Italian pizzas,
veal, chicken, shellfish and of course pasta. One
of my favorites appetizers is the Bruschetta
Pomodoro. Italian bread is toasted and toped
with extra virgin olive oil, diced tomatoes, fresh
basil, minced garlic and balsamic vinegar. It’s
made to share but after one bite I wanted it all
to myself. According to chef Joseph Thomas,
for the main course, the Grilled Chicken Penne,
Ravioli Di Mia Madre, Chicken Cariera’s or the
Steak Balsamic Flatbread are all options that
will fulfill your craving and have you begging for
more. For those looking for a lighter fare, the
menu features low carb flatbreads and healthier
options. Everything in the restaurant is made
fresh everyday in house.
Open for lunch and dinner and with live music on
the weekends, it’s no wonder people in Central
Florida can’t stay away!
