    Nice restaurant, good food, we had the l’escargot, beef cannelloni, and duck. I was hoping for a tarte tatin or something similar for dessert but wasn’t in the menu.

    There were 4 of us - 3 of us got our dinner delivered on time and the food was good . However,they totally forget my wife’s dinner . Thus 3 of us were served and although we tried to eat very slowly, we finished and still no meal was served for my wife . Very very disappointing! Then as a buffer they tried to offer only 1 small glass of cheap prosecco as a pay back . We spent over $650 for e meals and a $250 wine and yet got basically no meaningful “ condolences “ or any type of “ Sorry “ …, Will not be going back !

    We have been going to Casanova for 40 years and have never been disappointed. We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary this week at Casanova. The service and hospitality were amazing from the hostess to the sommelier to the server. They accommodated us with our table of choice, suggested lovely champagne, wines and entrees. And, did I mention the fabulous dessert? It was a special evening at our special place. Thank you Casanova!

    Over all the food was good but the menu online was different than our visit. By the time we were served, they were out of a few menu items. I ended up having to order 2 salads as my meal. The dessert we were hoping for was also out.

    They ran out of the one item I could eat on their entree list. The online menu us hopelessly out of date, and they don’t fix it. What we ate was very good.

    The seafood linguini was one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had. The atmosphere is just lovely and the menu is varied enough for all tastes I would think. I really loved it. The only hiccup was what I considered a slightly rude response by the sommelier. I wanted to ask him whether the bottle of wine we selected would pair well with the entrees my husband and I planned to order and he cut me off quickly and said I should raise menu questions with our server.

    Excellent service, atmosphere and well presented, delicious food. It had been a long time since I’ve been and now I remember why it’s so hard to get a reservation. Highly recommend it!
