Started with octopus and then had some Branzino. I’m not even big on seafood, but the manager recommended it and I trust his taste after previous recommendations. That was the best fish I’ve ever tasted. I don’t think there is a dish in this place that I wouldn’t enjoy.

We went to Casa Bella for my birthday dinner last Friday. Food was exceptional and our waiter was very professional! I'm a huge mushroom fan and I'm glad that I got the chicken and shrimp dish with mushroom and baked veggies. I did not believe from Google that someone said it was the best Italian food within 30 miles radius, now I can safely agree. Aside from food served, it was a lovely and classy establishment right by a lake. During the day the view must be very nice. Everything was good, except one, we had a huge bridal party sitting next to us and it was very loud at certain point. However, it was understandable. Overall great place, will come back again.
