Wonderful restaurant! We’ve decided it’s officially our go-to Italian restaurant. I can’t remember the names of anything, but my fiance had a meaty mushroom pasta and I had a ravioli filled with a sweet corn filling, and they were both AMAZING!!!! Our server was so friendly and helped me navigate the menu thoroughly :)

Amazing atmosphere and lovely service. Such a great and romantic place for date night. The casa salad was amazing. The pasta was pretty good.

Had a very delicious dinner here for my birthday with my wife. Wine choices, main dish, and opening appetizers were all very good. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Would highly recommend.

Really great food. A little pricey but you are paying for quality. Definitely get their appetizers and ask about the specials. They recommended a great wine paired with our dish.
