5* for the food and friendly service. Seating area and layout is not the most comfortable and can be bothersome close to the entrance door
Sat upstairs, beautiful and cozy atmosphere. The service was impeccable, I felt cared for by staff. The moment I sat down I had water poured for me and a glass bottle left on the table, which staff immediately filled when empty. The bread and olives were delicious. Our mains arrived just as we finished our starters and they looked perfect. I ordered the Ragu and was not left disappointed. It was the most flavourful pasta I've had in my life, the lamb was incredibly well cooked and had not one ounce of fat, the Pecorino cheese the most amazing pairing. The Pannacotta was absolutely divine it had the most rich cherry topping and delectable almond praline. This is an amazing restaurant and I would recommend this strongly to friends and family.
Amazing great food. I had wild mushroom risotto, then hake plain grilled/fried in a soup/stock with peas, broad beans, asparagus, pancetta. I loved it and will bring my wife here. Best Italian food I've had for a long time.
We arrived 20 minutes late to our reservation, but the staff were extremely accommodating and efficient. Menu was seasonal with some regional classics. The Rotolo, Pesce, and Canolo were all highlights with reasonably priced house red. Atmosphere was welcoming and warm.
From the outside this place may look a bit like a cheap cafe but it is far from that. Food was freshly cooked and tasted devine. Service was superb and the waiters knowledge of the menu was excellent. We asked for his wine recommendation and he produced the perfect bottle. There were four of us eating and every single plate went back empty. Would recommend you book as this place is popular.
It used to be so good, food, service, everything was 10/10, but last time I visited, the 3 of us all had different starts and mains, none of them was good, which was super expected as it was my favorite restaurant, every dish used to be amazing. Serve wasn’t as good as before either. (Last time I visited was a few months ago, don’t know what happened there)
Food was beautiful and really delicious. I love its mood too!
I've always enjoyed visiting Casanova, but it's been a while and boy have they your their game! The food was absolutely stunning. I had the carpaccio to start, with aged parmesan. Then loin of veal for main, while my wife had the seafood pasta, we shared an excellent cheese board and a rich chocolate mousse. Friendly service and plenty of info about the dishes if you wanted it. Great place for a relaxed evening of good food and wine.
