Nice place. Big bar with lots of seating. Very friendly. Seems to have a good staff food is solid. You won't be disappointed. I recommend. It's a good family neighborhood friendly place that every neighborhood should have one of. It isn't high end but it's not meant to be but it's very good.

I have been coming to Casanova since childhood. I love its consistency, the staff, and the food. Lovely rigatoni mama rossa, eggplant parmagiana, and chicken marsala. Their house salad is simple but delicious - I wish they would bottle and sell the dressing! It is definitely a lovely neighborhood Italian restaurant, with tons of regulars and an awesome happy hour.

This place is a hidden gem in the local neighborhood...always great food and great service with options to suit all pallates. This is not a fanny place as it relates to the dress code. You can fancy it up or just swing past in shorts/short for a decent meal close byThe music is sometimes a little loud and the air a bit cold (for me) but otherwise the decor is old school Italian

First time visiting. Service was excellent. My food excellent but one person in our party got something different from what they ordered. The other had filet and it was just ok. Will definitely go back but probably make different menu choices.

Ordered chicken marsala. Chicken is unseasoned, pretty sure it is boiled (no grill marks), if there is a mushroom “sauce” I’m not seeing or tasting it. Unseasoned boiled chicken, unseasoned or sauced angel hair pasta, there’s a few mushrooms in there but have no flavor. Overall the most bland Marsala I’ve ever had. Carrabba’s is 150% better and cheaper. Great service, good atmosphere, awful entree.

A recent visit was disappointing. My favorite dish was missing from the menu (a rice & sausage dish) so since I was there, I explored the menu and was shocked at the prices. I'm not opposed to spending for a good meal but from my last visit, I accepted a price hike that differed from the website menu price. Viewing the online menu & prices, I went elsewhere.NOTE: Google appears to list this restaurant as a hotel.

Chicken fettuccine alfredo had good flavor but very little sauce, and pre frozen chicken pieces on ther dry side. Pasta was aldente which is okay but it was a very small portion and barely filled half the to go container. Not what you'd expect for $30. Super small side salad too. The bread was plain, I guess for dipping in the sauce I didn't get...lol. I made my own garlic toast with it. Was the best part of meal.

Sal Strampello

OMG!! Driven by this place 5 years. So glad we came in and decided to try it! The Shrimp appetizer was divine. The Rigatoni Mama Rosa was to die for and their house wines and tiramisu was just lovely. Can’t wait to go back and try the scallops, martinis and oso bucco.

Ordered a pepperoni pizza and got one with NO SAUCE - just gross cheese on bread… Informing the restaurant, Raquel “the manager” could care less! And they call themselves Italian?? HAHA! STEER CLEAR if you expect Italian food and even semi-decent customer service!!! Seeing the other reviews and how the place has gone down hill, I am glad we didn’t order more than just a pie! DoorDash has had other complaints and refunded me immediately :)

We celebrated a family moment ….party of 11. Mario was a terrific waiter and the attending staff attentive and helpful. The calamari appetizer was generous and yummy. All our entrees were superb, plentiful and served hot and well presented. We love this restaurant and recommend it highly !
