Came here for my mother's birthday, and had a great experience, although with a few exceptions. Ambiance: A calm and relaxed atmosphere Service: Phenomenal, waiters are always attentive Food: This is where some notations need to be made. Food is priced quite high for what it truly is. Not only that, but each dish we ordered (party of 3) was extremely lacking in seasoning. So lacking to the point that we had to salt and pepper our food numerous times while eating. What truly saved our night was the impeccable service and attention to detail. We did not send our food back, though I'm sure if we did it would have been corrected. That's why I believe 4 stars is appropriate. read more

My family and I love this spot -- we come here all the time! It has such a cozy vibe and the portions are always huge. The food is consistently good and it's one of those places you can always count on for a nice, comforting meal. Definitely one of our go-to spots! read more

Came here for Easter dinner with the family (group of 9) after not being here in over 2 years, and I was pleasantly surprised with the ambiance and food! Found out they renovated the whole place over a year ago, and with that, they definitely upped the food as well. Everything we all had was delicious and so good! Definitely will be back! read more

The attention to details that the sever gave us is amazing. And food that we ordered is delicious and the atmosphere is superb! Definitely will go again and recommend the place! read more

Nice interior, but loud. ~Valet fast and efficient in and out-*****five stars ~Service is rated a 2. Inattentive Waiter tells the table specials- two friends order special- comes back five minutes later and specials are 86'd. Beverages were NEVER refilled or asked if we wanted them refilled. ~Party of six- 3 enjoyed entree and 3 thought it was mediocre. ~ Five of six found desserts to be old and stale. ~ Waited fifteen minutes for coffee (after dessert was served). ~ Food- mozzarella and tomato with basil. Orange plastic tasting tomato with OLD (not FRESH) mozzarella. ~ Coffee was EXCELLENT- although I do like to get more than a half of a cup when ordering. Overall an average dinner for all...not horrible, not fabulous- thus a three star rating. read more

Went to a celebration luncheon in a group of thirty; we were seated in four tables in a large room easily accessible from the back parking area; the front of the building has several stone steps. Service was impeccable: very friendly, timely. We were started off with delicious bruschetta on thin slices of bread; followed up with garlicky butterflied shrimp and plates of delicious charcuterie. Nice garden (or Caesar) salads followed. For an entree I ordered chicken marsala, served with surprisingly food vegetables (not the usual soft, tasteless stuff, they had crunch and flavor, plus half a small potato, not dry at all), which was superb (other choices included chicken francese and salmon). Coffee and simple pastries ended a wonderful meal. I was very impressed with everything. Place was loud, but manageable. Ample parking. I'll go back. read more

9 of us went here on a Thursday evening (5/15/25). The food was very, very good. My smoked salmon with linguine was excellent. Fast delivery of all 9 of our meals, zero complaints. Service was also excellent with a friendly wait and service staff. We sat upstairs and had a view of the lake, a nice, unexpected surprise. The building is a bit tired, and dacor dated, but everything else is top quality. Old time Italian restaurant. Would go again on a second. read more

Walked in and had to wait for just a greeting. Staff seemed uninterested and talkative among themselves. Tables were available. The food, meh. Intro bruschetta was not fresh. The veggies were over cooked, mushy. The shrimp were as well, tough. Nothing special. Both of us thought the flavors were just off. Not on point. Plenty of great places around. Also, lots of stairs for seniors. Didn't see a ramp. read more

Have heard great things and couldn't wait to dine here with friends. Had to cancel the reservation due to a death in our friend's family. No issue. Finally rescheduled. Place was PACKED! We were seated upstairs quickly. Delivered bread and bruschetta to the table, delicious. We had some appetizers - baked clams (ok), short rib rice balls (delicious), stuffed mushrooms (delicious), beet salad (delicious), and prosciutto and melon (very good). Dinners included chicken parm with homemade rigatoni, veal saltimboca, chicken sorrentino and the filet. Everyone enjoyed their food. Cheesecake was very good, as was the tartufo and cappuccinos. $195 after tip per couple. This included 4 glasses of wine, one beer and some soda. We were very pleased and can't wait to return! read more

First impressions go a long way ..... Walked in and the women at the desk ignored my son and myself! When my wife entered , the same result . Omar the waiter saved the evening! Food was bland , and surprisingly an italian restaurant runs out of sausage !! Really? That was comical . I also was amused by the Diner sized dessert menu Hopefully they can learn to at least make one or two homemade desserts! That's my review..... read more

This place has some really good pasta and chicken dishes. So many options to choose from and everything comes out pretty tasty. I got some pink sauce tortellini and it was my favorite. The pink sauce was very flavorful and perfect with the tortellini. The vegetables were decent and desserts not bad. The service was great as our server consistently checked in on us. It's a cute Italian spot and seems to be great for a nicer dinner out. read more

Parking stinks, but it's still worth the effort to get inside. Lol. Service was very good, friendly and attentive. The food was delicious. My date had pasta with shrimp and crab meat, and that was delicious. I had the chicken Sorrentino, and that was delicious as well. We shared a chocolate flourless cake for dessert and it paired so nicely with some decaf coffees. read more

Last week we held our daughter's baby shower here and I can't say enough good things about the service, setup, ambiance and of course the food. Great starters including bruschetta, a really nice simple antipasto platter and delicious shrimp scampi. Our guests had a choice of a few entrees and I heard many compliments on the chicken parmigana. I had the salmon which was excellent and the pasta dishes were all great. The price was reasonable and the service excellent. Special shout outs to Ozzie, Angelo, Tony, and Dre (not sure of spelling): you and other staff made sure the set up was to our liking and our guests were well cared for. read more

Our adult family of 7 celebrated Easter luncheon here as we have many times on various occasions over the years. The food and service was excellent as usual but a very disturbing event occurred. Upon being seated, our server Xavier asked if we would like any cocktails. My son ordered a martini and my daughter and I both ordered drinks. Approximately 10-15 mins later, Xavier returned and asked if we were ready to order and if we needed refills. I declined but my daughter and son requested refills. Quite unexpectedly, a different server came with the drinks. As he poured my son's martini from the shaker, he told him there was a 10 minute window to reorder strong drinks! He also commented that this was not an " Irish pub". He didn't say anything to my daughter when he poured her 2nd Cosmo. This was appalling behavior and insulting. No one in our group was raucous or gave any indication of problem behavior. Did this person think my son looked like a drunk? A 42 yr old well dressed, father, Iraq veteran, gainfully employed with a Master's degree! How dare this man single him out and make comments in a crowded room! Although we could have abruptly left, we all maintained our composure BUT make no mistake, you successfully managed to sour our family gathering. Despite the excellent food and otherwise great service, we will never visit this establishment again. read more

Food is good. The remodeling provides a nice opened atmosphere near the bar reasonable pricing for drinks. Have been there a couple of times. Food is consistent. read more

The ambiance is ok, since the redo, food is excellent, service is excellent, What to avoid, any interaction with the owner, needs to understand the relationship between client and proprietor, in my opinion, he could use some additional training , recommend he learns from Pompton queens diner, never a question of reservations confirmed, and organized. It's unfortunate, as everything else worked, read more

Had the pleasure of experiencing this restaurant due to a birthday dinner party I attended. From the outside it seemed large but it's actually a bit on the smaller side. There were a bar area upon entering and two dining rooms, one to the left and one to the right. We sat on the right. There was about 12 people in our party. The server was attentive but a few people had to restate what they needed. Our food came and the portions were a good size. The food was delicious. Everyone enjoyed their meal. We did order appetizers but were least impressed with that. The bruschetta could have used some balsamic vinegar and the grilled cheese appetizer was kind of a flipped one. The cheese was on top of the 2 slices of toasted bread. However , we still had a great time! read more

Have been to Casa Bella several times for their pris fixe lunch, and have found this place to be consistently excellent - outstanding quality cuisine, unfailingly professional service. Complimentary bruschetta is delicious. I always order salmon as my entree, always top notch and the tiramisu is the best I've ever tasted. Ambiance is warm and comfortable, not fancy. read more

Been here a few times for lunches with colleagues, so I decided to visit for a date night. It was nice to see that they renovated the interior, but then they sat us upstairs, which wasn't as nice and smelled a little musty. It was also awkward with the staircase right there and people coming up and down, including wait staff. Otherwise the food is pretty standard for an Italian place. I'd go back for lunch, and maybe dinner if downstairs. read more

Great selection and verrrrry authentic. Great ambience. Indoor and outdoor seating. The wine selection (and liquor) is the best in the area. Highly recommend. Can't wait to come back! read more

Randomly chose this restaurant from Yelp after looking at restaurants in Denville - ended up being a great choice! GREAT parking lot with lots of spots. I really enjoy this atmosphere of this place. Very inviting - everyone says hello and is very polite. Our waiter was excellent - very professional and attentive. The starter bread was great: warm with a crusty crust. I hate getting cold bread. They also give complementary bruschetta that was great and fresh: CAUTION if you have a nut allergy it does have pine nuts in it. My chicken francese passed the fork test - meaning it was soft and thin enough where my fork was able to cut through it. If you need a knife for your chicken francese - it's wrong. The bread pudding was also very nice. Great establishment! read more

We really had a great dinner and fun time at Casa Bella last night! It had been over 10 years since I've been to this restaurant and while the interior has changed, the food was still delicious. This is a large restaurant right on Rt 46 in Denville. My wife and I were seated by the window on the 2nd floor. It was a nice secluded spot on a crowded Saturday night. The food was outstanding. We started by splitting an appetizer of mushroom caps stuffed with crab meat...great sauce for dipping bread! For entrees, my wife chose the Vitello Capricciosa, breaded veal topped with tricolore salad. I had the Chicken D'Angelo special. The dish was made of chicken tenders, sausage, and broccoli rabe in a fantastic brown sauce. Wow...just awesome! Perfect with a nice glass of wine. For dessert, there are so many choices, we went with sharing the chocolate soufflé. Between the ambiance, great food, and excellent service from Dre, it was a really enjoyable dinner! 2 thumbs up from me! read more

What a wonderful dining experience we had at Casa Bella! From the food to the service, everything was just right. Our server Azzie was amazing work smiles and a joke or two and our meal was not rushed but enjoyable ftom start to finish. Having seen a lot of our favorite restaurants taken over by new owners and see the quality suffer, it's good to see that Casa Bella is still the great restaurant it always was and we love the remodel. This will be our new "go to" place! read more

Great food and service make a reservation it's a popular place. It's one of our go to restaurants very consistent quality and great service

It was a Thursday night at 6PM! We had reservations. Yet, we were rushed out of there-from the moment we sat down. 3 times we were asked it we were ready to order as we just got served cocktails. Service was terrible. It looked like they overbooked. I thought it would be great to sit on the deck overlooking the lake--but it wasn 't open yet., We were on a date and we were sitting almost on top of our dinner mates. It was VERY noisy. We would have more privacy at a diner. We will not be returning. Food was good. Cafe Navona 1 mile west is a better choice. Imagine how this place is on a Sat. night. read more

Casa Bella offers very easy online ordering and you can get 15% off currently when u check out. I put the order in online and when I got there it was ready and it was a contactless handoff. The food was excellent and well worth the money. It's a great restaurant and I cannot wait to go back once Cove it is in the rearview read more

It's been many years since I've dined at Casa Bella-what a mistake!! Went today for a lunch/celebration with coworkers and we had a great time. Service was impeccable and the food was fantastic. Most of the group got a prix fixe lunch, which is a great deal. I got the Tortellini Casa Bella and it was magnificent! I can't wait to go back. read more

Bella, Bella, Bella, someone reminded me of this place today and I can't wait to go back, not only is the food amazing, but the portions are huge, old school Italian, the atmosphere feels like Frankie boy could be strolling in any minute. But the service is like it used to be, the server after removing the plates collets the crumbs off the table using this special little tool, it's small things like that which make all the difference. read more

Very disrespectful wish I could give zero stars, my girlfriend and I were immediately told to take our hats off mind you we have been coming here for 10 years never had an issue with Hats . Apparently it's a new rule of their dress code that is not even displayed properly and or at all. We sat at the bar, kept our hats on and felt like all eyes were on us. Sorry we like to wear hats as we left we said something to the owner he immediately defended himself and raised His voice, got hot and heavy with us and said this is our new policy. I replied well I don't see it listed anywhere not even on your website no dress code nothing he didn't wanna hear it. He proceeded to get very defiant and angry, I asked him to calm down politely, and I think that made him more angry I find this type a professionalism inadequate and unstable Poor management. Poor ownership won't visit again. read more

Everything about this place from the atmosphere, to the service, to the food was 10/10! I could not be happier with my experience here and cannot wait to go back!
