Short Ribs Tortelli
A must!!! The greatest dish on the menu
Velina
The BEST I've ever tasted!
Rum Babá
Jamaican Rum and ALL, this is a don't miss delish! The pastry is soaked to perfection grasping all the senses from the warmth of the rum to the absorption of the sweetness in a perfectly porous sponge cake and delightful blend of the cream. Loved it, will return simply for an encore and highly, highly recommend!
Cannoli
My boyfriend brought me your chocolate pastries a few times and they are amazing!!! He finally told me where he got them from. He wanted to keep your place a secret because they are so delicious Lol. Now that I know where he got them from you will see me often to buy for my customers and of course for me too :-) I am excited I can now cone buy them for my special customers yay!!!
Fettuccine Bolognese
This restaurant is exquisite. The vibe is has a community feel, and the staff is extraordinarily friendly and helpful. The service is beyond stellar, and the decor is very nice. The pasta is fresh and tastes as home-made as it gets. I've been coming here for years, and Carrara never disappoints. Their food and pastries are exceptional, and their gelato is as good as it gets. I wholeheartedly recommend Carrara Pastries!
Panino Caprese
Best place to eat!! I love the new Moorpark location!! All food and pastries are super yummy!!! You won't be disappointed!!!
All American Classic
Excellent way to start off you day. My favorite place to go for breakfast . Eggs are cooked to order and are never under or over done. This breakfast carries me through the day until I'm ready for dinner!
Breakfast Sandwich
This is my favorite breakfast sandwich of all the restaurants I've visited. Try it with ham, add chopped bacon and use pesto instead of mayo. It is fantastic. I never tire of having it.
Frittelle
the best place to eat! So freaking good! MUY BUENOO. Been here so many times and I would never stop coming here
Cheesecake
Oh, how hard it is to manage to make a cheesecake taste right. Yet, against all odds, Carrara pastries manages to transcend the average cheesecake and make it something completely unique and fresh. The use of mascarpone delivers a light experience, blanketing the tongue with a burst of flavors, unlike any other cheesecake. The average cheesecake is not even in the same category as the masterpiece that Carrara's has created.
Panino Caprese
Fresh and tasty. Just enough for lunch. Must get truffle fries and ANY dessert.
Gnocchi Pesto
True Italians understand just how difficult it is to make gnocchi, the delicate, pasta pillow clouds. Other than my own nonna's and mamma's home variations of gnocchi, no person or restaurant has ever even come close to capturing the joy of gnocchi. That is until Carrara's. I have the gnocchi exclusively, and I have had it with all three sauces (pesto, Alfredo and tomato). The sauces may slightly change the experience, but the gnocchi itself is always the star of the dish and always consistently high quality and texture. Along with everything else Carrara's has to offer that is wonderfully fantastic, Carrara's is truly the only establishment where I can confidently treat my Italian friends and family, and have all of us walk out happy and satisfied. Bravo Carrara!
Chicken Quinoa Salad
I could eat this salad EVERY DAY!! Absolutely amazing combination of flavors and it's filling. There is balance with the goat cheese and the pesto is to die for!! I HIGHLY recommend this salad!
Short Rib Beef Burger
Everything I've ever had from Carrara's is incredibly delicious. This place NEVER disappoints. The short rib burger is mouth watering and delectable (which is still an understatement). Even the Almond milk lattes and Avocado toast are to die for! Don't even get me started on the gelato! It's, hands down, my favorite restaurant.
Braised Pork Collar
Love the braised pork collar. Definitely a must try!
Sfogliatelle
Amazing pastries and coffee. Italy in CA.
Bigné
I've been spending more & more time in Moorpark lately so I've decided to try a bunch of places. THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! The food is SO good. I had the Carrera gelato, some bignés (pretty much an actual real French chocolate eclair in a small puff), a small blackberry tart & the pollo panini... I am still salivating. I plan on coming back to try every item on the menu and I cannot wait to test the pasta! But from everything I've had in this first visit, I highly recommend this establishment!!! Oh, the service was also great. They're super helpful and pleasant (and the guys are cute!)... there's also lots of samples for you to try out before you buy. (Don't try all the samples, you'll buy it all!!)
Tiramisu
Absolutely delicious. My dad love his tiramisu cake for his 88th Birthday. Thank you Carter's!
Grilled Octopus
The grilled octopus is a simple yet delicious item on their menu. We have been supporters of Carrara's since they opened in Moorpark. My parents are both of Italian heritage and to them, Italian home cooking is best, yet they make the exception for Carrara's. We are delighted that they chose our city as their home! Grazie!
Rum Babá
It was FANTASTIC, it tastes like Christmas ~ enough rum to justify calling it a RUM baba & so many other flavors. Excellent.
Prosciutto di Parma
The wonderful ingredients make this dish!!
Croccantino
My favorite of all cakes! Not too sweet and looks beautiful! Compliments are always heard when we pick one up and serve a few slices to our friends. We've also ordered full size sheets for parties and everyone raves about it.
Passione Exotica
My fiancé and I love to buy Carrara cakes to elevate birthday parties! While trying to decide on which cake to purchase, you will see beautifully decorated cakes in the freezer display. The passione exotica cake caught our attention as it is Carrara's newest creation. The dark chocolate is decadent and the tart passion fruit filling balances out your taste buds. You can taste the good quality ingredients used in their cakes. You can also let an employee know if it is for a birthday and they can write a happy birthday message on a piece of white chocolate to place on top of the cake. We can't wait to celebrate the next birthday!
Velina
There are no words for the beauty and delectability of this cake. Layers of cream and cake covered in chocolate ganache is the winningest combination we could have hoped for. Surprisingly, it was not terribly sweet, just enough to let the flavor of the chocolate land with mouthwatering grace. The gold flakes against the ganache and added, customized chocolate disk, told our beloved retiree how much we would miss her in a classy and scrumptious way. This cake says, love in every way.
Short Ribs Tortelli
Been here several times and everything is amazing!! The short rib tortelli was both rich and light at the same time. Also highly recommend the zucchini blossoms appetizer, so good. Excellent service, brilliant chefs and delicious food!!
Bigné
Carrera's has been a favorite "guilty pleasure" place since we discovered them several years ago. The cheesecakes are to die for! And are always a favorite at gatherings with family and friends. Both beautiful and DELICIOUS.
Frittelle
My husband is a chocolate fanatic, but the sweet helper at the counter said this was a best seller so I tried one. My husband had said since it was not chocolate he would pass. After one bite I said that he had to try one. He did and now he is a believer that there is more to sweets than chocolate. The frittelles are amazing!
Panino con Pollo
This is another Favorite of mine!! Delicious Sandwich!
Bigné
My first time here at Carrara's for dessert as per family member's recommendation. I tried the Fritelles and Carraras gelato. Love 'em! My kind of restaurant. I will definitely go back and try their lunch or dinner.
Frittelle
We exclusively come here for Fritelles and canolis! We made the mistake of bringing to a family event and are now requested to bring every time we visit. Although, ill admit there is no "wrong item" here. EVERYTHING is 5 star.
Yogurt Wildberry
We love all their cakes and pastries, especially the Trilogia (gluten-free) and Yogurt Wildberry. Service is amazing!
