Everything was wonderful, except they were a little understaffed this evening and so we had to wait various times for our drink order and our food to arrive. However, our waiter was working very hard to accommodate all the tables that he was supposed to be serving.

We love the eggplant Parmesan but tonight it tasted different. Not as good. We got the pesto pasta with scallops. Outstanding. Chicken Marsala yummy but not enough sauce. Lasagna outstanding. Salads delicious. I love this place. Must have been an off night.

Happy hour good is ok. With that said it’s not worth it! Rachel the server is great all the food came out at once. Eggplant was mush and cold. Caprese salad not fresh mozzarella store bought circles. Pizza was good. Waited 45 mins for entree. Mgr had many excuses as to why but will never go back. Saturday eve 4 tables says something.

Casanova has been our go to Italian restaurant in the area for 10+ years. Raquel is our favorite waitress and we now ask to be seated in her section because she goes a step above to give excellent service. We have taken family and friends and they all enjoy the food and service.

We came in for happy hour, and we’re pleasantly surprised to find out that we can have it in the dining room. The bar was very crowded and noisy and the restaurant seemed quiet and relaxing. We ordered calamari a pizza and one of us had the eggplant on happy hour and the other had the shrimp aribiatta both were very good.
