   Always delicious meals - either menu or daily specials! The waterview is lovely year-round. And we stayed past the closing time and the staff was so accommodating - much appreciated!

   We love Casta Diva and have enjoyed many dinners there. The staff is very friendly and engaging. The food is fantastic. We went to celebrate Mother's Day. It's not cheap, but you get your money's worth.

   This restaurant is terribly understaffed and should not accept reservations if they are not able to accommodate people. We waited half an hour for a server to come take our drink order. They apologized and said that there were only 2 servers working in the entire restaurant that day. We ordered our food at the same time as the drinks since we had sat for so long and the food took an hour to come out. So apparently they were understaffed in the kitchen as well as the restaurant did not seem particularly busy for its size. There did not seem to be any managers on duty. Another party was sat nearby us and walked out a half hour later as we were tempted to do. Usually in situations like these the restaurant will comp a round of drinks or offer a free dessert but the server offered nothing and did not even apologize for the slow service. Such a shame because this place is in a beautiful location right on the pond and with proper management could be successful.

   Went for the Mother's Day buffet. The food was excellent, there were plenty of choices and everything was well prepared. We're definitely going back to try the dinner mene soon.

   Watch your bill…had extra charges for pasta that was included in the meal. I had to ask the manager to adjust the up charges. Waitress acted flippant about my son’s nut allergy multiple times. I almost left. 4 people got their meals and mine never came out. Waitress didn’t admit to forgetting said oh it will be 5 more min and I had pasta everyone else had chicken and seafood. Restaurant looks nice for summer dinner on the water, there is outdoor dining. Food was good though.

    We chose to dine inside this time. The room was quiet due to the time of day, and the service was impeccable. The food was absolutely delicious. I had chicken and sausage cacciatore in my dining companion had chicken piccata with homemade pasta. We were also served bread and dipping oil. The bread was warm, light, and fluffy with a nice crunchy crust. Both meals were outstanding. The Piccata sauce was light flavorful and not overpowering, just the right amount of capers and quite a bit of chicken. My cacciatore, the chicken, was plentiful and tender, and the sauce was amazing. The thin slices of sausage were a nice added taste and texture to the meal. Instead of pasta, I had mine served over a medley of vegetables, zucchini, carrots, summer squash, and haricots vert. We passed on dessert this time, but on a previous visit, we had the limoncello cake, which was the perfect finish to our meal. I look forward to dining here again.
