My wife and I have been to Casa Nuova a few times now, and every visit has been amazing. The first…read morewaiter we had was full of personality, very nice, and very Italiano. Everyone we've had since has been just as good. They're friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and somehow able to memorize a huge list of specials. They really make us feel like part of the family. The Escargots Casa Nuova is our favorite appetizer. The garlic butter is delicious and perfect for dipping the bread in. I had never had anything like the Cannelloni Florentina before, but it was very tasty. It's a smaller dish, but it packs a punch! The Tortellini in Champagne Sauce was so good that I cleaned the plate. I also really like the decor. It has an Italian home feel, with paintings, flowers, wine, and knickknacks everywhere (and apparently a lot of local history). Casa Nuova is a little further of a drive for us, but it's one of the best Italian places I've found in the area. I'm looking forward to bringing more family here.

Three of us visited Casa Nuova on a Friday night--my wife, daughter, and me…read more I don't typically write glowing reviews, nor is this my first visit to a good Italian restaurant. But this experience was genuinely special. From the service to the food to the atmosphere, everything exceeded expectations. Despite a packed dining room, the staff delivered a level of attentiveness that felt effortless. Our server had an incredible command of the menu, rattling off a lengthy list of specials from memory with impressive detail. The entire team worked in sync--bringing bread, refilling drinks, offering fresh grated cheese, clearing plates without rushing us, and striking just the right balance of friendliness and professionalism. What really set the evening apart were the personal touches. The matriarch of the restaurant (or at least who I assume was the matriarch) circulated through the dining room making sure guests were enjoying themselves. At one point she proudly announced that the osso buco was ready--a charming moment that felt less like a sales pitch and more like someone sharing something they genuinely loved. Before we left, she gave my wife and daughter sunflowers from her garden, carefully prepared with the leaves removed and stems wrapped in foil. Then she sent us home with fresh zucchini. Along with everything else, these folks have figured out how to make dining personal. It felt less like eating in a restaurant and more like being welcomed into someone's lovely home--where there is genuine pride and gratitude that you've joined them for dinner. That's a rare feeling today, and Casa Nuova delivers it naturally. And then there's the food. The Oysters Rockefeller were outstanding. The fried mozzarella was exceptional. The Pesce Fra Diavola--with clams, mussels, calamari, and scallops--was perfectly prepared and served in a sauce that complemented rather than overwhelmed the seafood. The veal scallopini was tender, beautifully seasoned, and expertly sauced. Even our daughter's simple pasta dish was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Honestly, I'm almost afraid to go back because I don't know how they could possibly do better. Casa Nuova delivered one of the most memorable restaurant experiences I've had in a very long time. My sincere thanks to everyone at Casa Nuova for such a lovely evening. You made my wife, daughter, and me feel genuinely welcome, and we left with full stomachs, smiles on our faces, and an experience we'll remember for a long time.

You can tell when servers are just doing their job, versus when someone is truly passionate about serving guests. Liam is passionate, and it shows with his interactions.

Great so I wasn't walking from the parking structure off Alpharetta St. Either is free, but if you don't want to drop a few bucks to tip the valet .... I came in on a Friday evening without a reservation. Chose to sit at the bar. Had a great experience. Chatting with locals as well as the staff and enjoyed a nice meal and a few adult beverages. See photos. Grabbed a salad, some pasta and couldn't pass on the dessert. The Insalata Romana dressing was subdued so for those who don't like bold and zesty - it'll be right up their alley. Not too light though - any lighter and I might have asked for more seasoning. I enjoyed the flavors of the Tagliolini Bolognese. It was hearty, savory and I could see it being a comfort food me if I were a local. I would have liked the pasta to be on the Al dente side but it wasn't mushy to the point that there wasn't any chew. Also enjoyed the dessert. Great way to cap the meal. Really enjoyed the experience there overall. Sitting at the bar, not loud - kinda intimate. Maybe 10 seats. Beer, wine and spirits. Also a happy hour to finish out a work day. I've eaten at a few spots on Canton and I can say that for me, this is another spot I'd recommend and go back to.

They have outdoor dining which seems to have a great atmosphere but it was way too hot to dine outside. We typically love bars but this one was dark and uninviting. No thank you. We sat to the left as you enter the front door. Missing atmosphere-- wouldn't choose to sit here again. Service was impeccable. I couldn't decide what I wanted for a glass of wine and they offered to bring me glasses to sample. I love this-- I saw them offer same service to another table close by. We split the Caesar and they were kind enough to diving between two bowls. The only other place that does this for us is Cibo e Beve. The focaccia was wonderful with large flakes of salt on top and went great with their olive oil. We are truly picky Caesar eaters and this one had freshly shaved Parmesan and obvious homemade croutons. Pasta was fabulous for both of us. Would we dine here again? Definitely not the bar and probably not the dining room, but would come back to dine outdoors. Carrie was our waitress and she was fantastic.

She was thoughtful about her recommendations, but never pressured us into anything. She knew the menu very well, and was able to answer any questions that we had. We started with the meatballs, buratta, & focaccia bread. All three were very tasty, but I thought the meatballs were the best. I had their black pepper Tagliatelle. The flavor was incredible, and the portion was very sizable. I wish there was a little bit more of the pork in the dish, it seemed to be a little light, and I think it would've added a nice saltiness to it if there was just a bit more in the pasta... but it did not take away from how delicious it was. One of our friends got the ravioli, and it was absolutely exquisite. I'm not even sure what was in the dish, but the flavors blended so well. We enjoyed a side of the crispy potatoes, which were cooked very well. I would definitely recommend. Collette. The entire vibe of the restaurant was warm and a perfect date night place to go.

Lots of options for those who love the fishery part of the concept and just as many choices for those that don't. We ordered the bruschetta and enjoyed their take that used fig jam, prosciutto and balsamic glaze instead of the more traditional tomato base. They have house made focaccia that when brought to the table we instantly regretted having ordered the bruschetta, thinking we overdid the bread thing. But we both quickly changed our minds and consumed both with little guilt... I would go back just for the focaccia alone and wish they sold it by the loaf! Pastas are made onsite but they get the gluten free version from a different supplier to avoid risk of cross contamination. Hubby had the wild boar pasta. I had the pork chop. My chop was perfectly grilled and moist. I asked for the marsala sauce on the side since I don't like mushrooms themselves, but enjoy the flavor they can add. The weakest link was the mashed potatoes, served in two round scoops reminiscent of school cafeteria lines. Other than the shape, there was nothing memorable nor particularly flavorful about them. Next time I would try a different side and keep the chop. We didn't save room for dessert this time but will definitely get some next time. And there will definitely be a next time. Moderate price point, not an everyday spot, but shouldn't be saved just for special occasions either.

We opted to sit at the bar which I do NOT recommend if you plan on eating. It is extremely tight seating and the bartenders aren't not trained to serve food or have menu knowledge. The lack of the kitchen staff culinary skills became evident when looking at the menu with many seafood/pasta items being served with one sauce- a goopy cornstarch'ish lemon butter sauce. We wanted to try the scampi appetizer with their house made pasta - sans dairy which meant no lemon butter sauce. That seemed to throw a wrench and there was much back and forth between the BT to the kitchen explaining what that meant aka do not cook the food with butter use olive oil- not so complicated, right? 30 minutes later - despite the kitchen staff not being busy- reminder, we are sitting at the bar and watch the cooks looking at their cellphones instead of working... The small portion of a couple shrimp and scallops arrive. They were panned seared- highly seasoned but tasty. Pasta arrived dry ? Huh? Who serves dry pasta- ugh? I asked for olive oil again which never appeared despite a manager hearing the request. So, moving along, we decided to try the calamari. It came out much faster but the portion was enough for 8-10 people. BT- oh, I forgot to tell you it is such a large portion... Maybe offer a half portion? It was okay- nothing amazing except the quantity. So disappointed- we had high hopes that the vibe matched the food quality.

So far, nothing has disappointed. The Mexican street corn with chips is worth the price of admission by itself - absolutely get it as an appetizer. The broasted chicken strips might be the best deal in town, especially for a family with picky kids, and the Cubano is an absolute gem. What impresses me most is the consistency. After this many visits and trying this many different things, I keep finding something else I like. Great addition to the area and easily five stars.

Fell off bone, sweet and sticky. Platter Sampler for $27 was the way to go. Loved the beans, hearty and different.

Thanks to Holly for great, respectful service. What should they fix: the cocktails. I think they are ambitious in name only, but the bartender isnt equipped to crank them out properly or fast. Almost had the bourbon, maybe next time. Ambience: cute, clean small restaurant in strip mall near a butcher shop Go for food, dont miss it. Prices are on par with most places!!
