Free Cannoli’s for every customer on April 9th. The blessing begins at 5PM so get there early! Below is the legend of the Holy Cannoli-

Easter was always a time of reverence and celebration for the people in the small village of Carini, Sicily (north of Palermo). Since there was so little money to spare the people donated food gifts to the local Church. One Easter Sunday, around the turn of the century, the Cariera family donated a big basket of homemade cannoli’s to the parish. The Priest was so overwhelmed when they presented the tasty gifts he exclaimed “Holy Cannoli, what great tasting cannolis!!”

The priest then blessed the abundance of food and decided to have a picnic the day after Easter to celebrate and share these delicious treats with the good people of Carini. From that day on, the Monday after Easter became Holy Cannoli Day.

The Cariera family brought this unique tradition from the Old Country to the United States. Come and celebrate with us and enjoy our homemade Italian food.

Charming little Italian restaurant with authentic Italian cuisine. Portions are big enough for two. In two cozy rooms, with bare wooden tables and thick cloth napkins and walls full of family photographs and wine and oil bottles, Cariera’s turns out a familiar array of old-fashioned classics. As befits a restaurant with few pretensions, most patrons do not dress up for a night out at Cariera’s, even from Wednesday through Saturday when they feature mellow live music. The serviceable list of 20 California and Italian wines, split evenly between red and white, is fairly marked up, with most less than $30. And the house wine, at $22.95 a liter for a decent pinot grigio or chianti of Italian origin, is another option. As for brandy, it is difficult to resist ordering an earthy grappa along with dessert (or maybe for dessert), considering the price — $3.50.
