This picture of Cara Mia’s bruschetta chicken says it all. Cara Mia in Seaford opened in 1970, and the restaurant soon became synonymous with superb meatballs. The high quality of the food, impeccable service and wonderful ambiance has made it beloved by community members and visitors alike. Meatballs aside, we love their salmon piccata, linguini clam sauce and caprese salad.

Gatsby on the Ocean
