"Always looking for a new culinary adventure and we chose Cara Mia in Milburn, NJ. Before we go, I checked the menu and the reviews. The menu is usually typical Italian favorites with some inspired restaurant unique dishes. Your daily specialties were interesting. Since this was our first experience, we decided to go with Steak Carpaccio, her Cara Mia fatuccine with shrimps, crab meat, scalions in a vodka sauce and Veal Parmigiana with angel hair. The restaurant has an outdoor weather. In the interior there are two small rooms that offer about 20 seats in each room. Our waiter, bus boy and m as manager was very friendly, attentive, friendly and professional. We gave a small plate of bruschetta and zucchini chips as soon as we sat with homemade bread. The service was timely with sufficient time between the courses. The Bruschetta was fresh while the zucchini chips were somewhat oily, but the fresh cheese made it delicious. Either you like it or not. The appetizer was Steak Carpaccio, a thin-cut fillet mignon with sprinkled provolon, herbs and oil. It was very fresh and very thin, so it melts in the mouth. Our ducks arrived in time. The Kalbsparmigiana with angel hair was a great dish. It was enough for two. It had three pieces of thin cut calfs. It wasn't too thin, but right. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the sauce was good. The Cara Mia Fatuccine a house creation is a restaurant favorite. When it arrived, there was plenty of crab on the plate. I love crab meat and very picky. When the court arrived, I discovered a fishy aroma. It once dispersed the vodka sauce mixed with crabs and shrimps. I assume that this is meat grains and is probably an imported product. I would like to stress that the taste was good and not taken from the court. I'd rather prefer fresh lump scrap, but that would have doubled the price of the plate. For dessert we chose Tufalo and Cannoli with cappuccino. Prices are reasonable and competitive. Parking is over the street in a city. Parking is done free of charge until 6 o'clock Monday-Saturday with Sunday. This is a small family business and worth a trip when in the area. Also it is BYOB."
