My friend and I are always looking for new restaurants to try and keep a log of places we see on Facebook or Instagram. Casa Nostra was next on our list to try and we were not disappointed. The place is small and cozy, we called to see if we could get a reservation since it was a Saturday evening, they were able to accommodate us at 7:30. When we arrived we did not have to wait to be seated, the table was ready. The server provided us with menus and asked if we needed our bottle of wine to be opened. Server came back with bread for us and apologized that they were unable to warm it, explained and apologized that they were having issues with the bread warmer. The bread was fine as it was. The owner (chef) came out to take our orders we ordered the special fig appetizer to share, t

Such a wonderful family owned restaurant. The food is wonderful and service spectacular. If you are in the area, you need to visit this wonderful restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.0 The Traveling Foodie · Jul 2024

Heard about this place from a local online newspaper. High expectations as we arrived; they have only 8 tables and are open Tuesday - Thursday 5-9 pm. Extremely limited availability calls for making reservations. The building on the outside is low-key and the restaurant seems almost hidden. The space inside is what you would call cozy. Seats on the beaches have pillow cushions. Tables are topped with cheap looking olive oil and salt grinders. With labels peeling off and brand names placed on the table, it looks cheap. Disappointed from a restaurant with such hype and cloth napkins. Menus are paper and curling. The specials menu was hand written in sloppy cursive and some words were hard to read. Seems lazy. The spot should invest in some menu covers to slide the paper menus in

Nothing is more true authentic Italian than this place. Came in at 8pm on a Wednesday where they sat us immediately (kitchen closed at 9pm). We had the beets and goat cheese salad and the stuffed artichokes as an app. The beets and goat cheese sat on an orange that was juicy and sweet, it perfectly balanced the flavor. While the artichoke had just enough breading and was a garlicky goodness. For entre I had the pancetta mushroom gnocchi in a cream sauce which melted in your mouth. The salmon in the pesto cream was cooked to perfection (and I am very picky about how salmon is cooked) over a bed of sauteed spinach. The veal rack was delicious and the mixed seafood had a wide variety. My favorite being the grilled octopus. We finished off dinner with the best tartufo with vanilla and chocolat
