Authentic, charming, and oh so delicious, Cara Mia Guttenberg is a neighborhood treasure, nestled in a dreamy spot just across the water from the Upper West Side in New Jersey. Akin to a traditional Italian trattoria, expect gorgeous homemade pastas, fresh meats and seafood, as well as an extensive wine list.
Grab your $29 pulse (a $122 value) for a Zagat-applauded Dinner For Two that includes 2 Entrees, as well as 1 Bottle of Red, White, Rosé or Sparkling Wine.
The cozy atmosphere will transport your spirit to that of a lovely Tuscan haven, all thanks to the work of legendary restauranteur Besim Kukaj (Gallo Nero, Intermezzo, Maria Pia). His expertise merges top-notch culinary standards with the feeling of being home away from home, especially with a stellar bottle of wine to carry you through the feast.
Cuddle up to butterscotch banquettes and stunning lighting, devouring the likes of Lamb Chops al Barolo (Barolo wine, arugula salad, roasted potatoes) and Sirloin Steak (Chianti reduction, roasted potatoes, crispy vegetables), not to mention the Truffle Tagliolini Pasta with truffle sauce and sliced truffles.
Diving, luxe, and intimate - let Cara Mia whisk you away to total bliss...
A storied hotspot for in-the-know foodies who adore Italian fare like Nonna used to make, Cara Mia is the real deal. Formerly a Manhattan staple, the new location in New Jersey brings that same exceptional quality to the table - adding in a curated wine list and gorgeous interior design sure to make you feel at ease.
For 20+ years, Cara Mia reps an unparalleled authenticity thanks to Executive Chef Felipe Vega, whose years of experience at New York City stalwarts Serafina, Il Palazzo & Pelegrino's come into play to create an unforgettably magical epicurean rendezvous.
Lauded by the discerning critics at New York Magazine, the menu at Cara Mia is full of classic Italian favorites that create a nostalgic vibe, and when you add in a bottle of vino, you have a match made in heaven for an unforgettably scrumptious evening.
Think Lamb Shank in a Barbaresco red wine sauce with soft polenta, rustic Veal Scallopini, Parmigiana-style with marsala and piccata valdostana. Seafood also shines, namely Grilled Branzino with lemon, fresh herb, and broccoli rabe, as well as Risotto Alla Pescatore dotted with lobster, shrimp, calamari, clams, and a spicy tomato sauce.
With a marvelous vintage pouring into your glass atop elegant white tablecloths, take in the magnifico vibes at this beloved jewel...
All selections are made from the restaurant's full dinner menu.
