We came upon this restaurant only by riding my e-bike down back roads on one of my daily exploring rides and what a find it was! Ambiance: Would you love to visit Italy or France but don't have the funds or just don't like to travel? Not a problem. You can see exactly what a French or Italian bistro looks like by simply visiting this beautiful restaurant. Cozy, cute, quaint, classic, charming are just a few of the words to describe Casa Bella. Placing your restaurant in a little cottage provides the advantage of little cozy rooms, quaint corners tucked away and an ambiance that can't be matched in a modern build. If you're tired of all those hip modern contemporary restaurants that blast that loud metro music, this place is for you. The Service: A wait staff that is always there when you need them but yet somehow not seen or heard unless you want them to be. A staff that keeps your glasses full and your every request satisfied as soon as requested. That's what you'll enjoy at Casa Bella. The Food: Although our party of four did not try any of the appetizers, our salad's and minestrone soups were top notch. As a child who grew up with an Italian mom, we regularly had hearty bowls of minestrone soup. Although Casa Bella's soup tasted just as I remembered, it was one of the few offerings where Casa Bella fell short. Not because the soup wasn't well made but, because it was barely warm. While I'm at it, I might as well mention the other area that Casa Bella was not up to snuff and that was the bread. My dad would often say, you can tell how good your meal is going to be by the quality of the bread and salad. The salads were excellent but thank goodness the bread wasn't a precursor of what the rest of our meal would be like. The bread consisted of a small dry tasteless roll. It screamed for garlic, butter or perhaps just being fresher. Everyone at our table took a bite and left the rest. Too bad because as you'll see as you read on, it's a shame the bread simply didn't match the rest of our dining experience. The soup issue can be easily rectified with a bit of heat. The bread however, needs to be changed to match the rest of the meal. For our entree's, we enjoyed Veal Marsala, Chicken Marsala, Casa Bella Chicken and Rigatoni's with a side of sausage. Every dish was perfectly crafted and beautifully presented. The Rigatoni was al dente, as it should be. The accompanying sausage was snappy and juicy also as it's meant to be. The veal was oh so tender on a wonderful bed of Angel Hair Pasta. The chicken in both the Chicken Marsala and Casa Bella Chicken was cooked to perfection. The serving sizes guaranteed the ability to take home doggy bags that assured another night of Italian deliciousness. Our desserts were special not only in taste but, in their beautiful presentation. We chose the chocolate cake, Tartuffo, and Cannoli. The chocolate cake was super most and big enough for another nights enjoyment. The Tartuffo's were perfectly made with a delicious chocolate coating, creamy chocolate and vanilla ice cream and a raspberry surprise in the center. The Cannoli featured a delightfully crisp shell and a lusciously creamy filling. The Bottom Line: My traditional "Customer So What"... Would I come back? You bet I will. I'll not only come back but, this will be the place I take any of my family or friends when they visit. We'll just skip the bread and ask for our soup to be hot. read more

Went for 1st time with friends. Such a cute, romantic place!! We enjoyed the bread, soft pillowy, kinda reminded me yeast rolls but I don't think they were. I had the minestrone soup as my starter, enjoyed all the veggies! I got a chicken special. Which was breast with fresh tomatoes sauce with polenta. It was tasty, the polenta sticks were soft, altho lukewarm. Husb had seafood with pasta, clams, mussels, shrimp. All others enjoyed their meals; branzino, salmon, veal,shrimp. For dessert we had the spumoni tartuffo yummy. Service was good. read more

Staff needs better training. They don't listen to the needs of their customers. Food safety not something they're knowledgeable about. Wet floors were left where vulnerable guests could fall. Waiting was very long between everything. Sitting with no drinks or food. The food was good but not as ordered or worth the price. read more

Disappointed in our recent experience w Casa bella.    Food was as good as always but ultimately a very disappointing experience.  My mom who had a major milestone birthday wanted to take the immediate family for a nice dinner to celebrate.  Casa Bella has consistently been one of their places they go to since they moved here 4 years ago.   They know Gerry, Dan (waiter) and other folks.   One of the workers even gave my mom a hug.   They are regulars.   My wife and I go as well, but just not as often due to kids, other places, travel etc etc. In short, I'm writing this for her, and the night fell very short for her, and she is vowing not to go back.   My wife feels the same........so If Jerry (Gerry) is reading this let's see the response otherwise there are two families who won't go back. My mom booked a specific table many, many, many months ago.    To start, when she got there, they had just given it away.   Apparently, Jerry didn't tell anyone so Dan I think gave it away.    That was a table that could fit 8.    So the only table they could offer in the right side room (neither of us really like the room when you walk in, just a different vibe) was a 6 person table, by the kitchen, that 7 people had to squeeze into.    I can tell you my mom was less than pleased, perseverating on it.    Was it that hard to put a reserved sign on ? Then it literally took 20 minutes for someone to come over. Couldn't get water, or a menu.   Off to a real great start here!      Dan was not our waiter, another lady..nice enough, just not Dan who knew them.  He would have been if they didn't give that other table away. Fast forwarding a few things but call outs: * My sister has some health issues so she asked for olive oil on the side pasta vs marinara.  Our waitress said no, but could for an extra charge.   Seriously? *I asked for Angel hair vs the fettuccini.    I was told that would be an upcharge?   What in the holy f?  No restaurant ever has said this before..   It's the same flour water and salt........I even told her that wasn't right and crossed a line.  I didn't want mom to pay more so i declined the change.  Keep in mind my mom's dish came with angel hair.   Mom and I just laughed with WTF. Dinner was great as usual.      Then there was dessert.   Gerry said he would help with dessert at the beginning due to the table issue.    Waitress came back and said 'we'll just buy one piece for the bday girl'.     Of course.    Our favorite desserts and cannoli and tiramisu.  Of which we were told they were out due to a previous pre-opening party.    Fine, we ordered a tartufo.   Waitress came back, out of that as well.  Seriously???      Ordered 3 '2nd and 3rd choice' desserts. Our view is with all the above, they should have accommodated the two SIMPLE menu changes.    Then Gerry should have bought some wine or do something to make it right.  Very small cost for the long term.   So seriously, this is how they treat regulars?  Unless we hear back unfortunately they will not return (and remember they go there often!!!) nor will we..it bothered my wife that much. read more

We have gone here for 10 years but never again. Waited half an hour to ask for wine, another half hour to take a dinner order and 45 minutes for it to appear on our table. The very nice waitress told us there was one cook/chef? On a Saturday night!!!! And once it appeared it was flavorless. Should have cooked at home. Don't go. You've been warned. read more

Well, this had been one of my favorite restaurants until recently. Our party of 6 waited an hour for our food...that's a very long time...particularly if you're not drinking. Our waitress was not to blame. She was lovely and attentive. Seems everyone arrives at promptly 5 pm and the kitchen staff can't handle it. If they took reservations for dinner, this problem might resolve itself. My chief suggestion is to get rid of the "weekly menu" under the glass tabletop and bring back the wonderful full menu. Also, there were no descriptions of many of the dishes on the new sheet. My Tour of Italy Dinner--two large cheese ravioli, a cup of tortellini, and a thin strip of chicken parm had little taste and was overly smothered in red sauce. My friend's Casa Bella with shrimp, while tasty, was also swimming in liquid. Another 30 minutes to get the check. A bit noisy but still a beautiful restaurant. It could still become my favorite if they'd make a few adjustments. Take reservations so the meals are staggered. And go back to the old menu. Not giving up on you, Casa Bella! read more

I love the ambiance in both the garden and inside the restaurant. The service is consistently excellent. My favorite dish is the Pollo Mediterranean. All of the desserts are delicious. Casa Bella does a great job. If you want a beautiful restaurant for a special occasion this is your place. read more

Had a reservation for Valentines day. Waited for half an hour and could not even find a person to tell them that we were there. There was a line of people waiting and no host or hostess to tell anyone anything. They did not have enough help. People stared to leave who were waiting on line. We never got a table and left. Will not be going back any time soon. read more

First time here we wanted to love this place As we eat out frequently and live nearby. Restaurant is cute, but meal is worth half the price! We moved from the ocean Hutchinson island and normally go to Nonas or santos for Italian.. but this place was cozy and close thought it would be our go to. Ordered meatballs to start as I always do. They weren't just cold but very cold! Hubby had clams for appetizer.. didn't look like much kinda small. Got two non descript rolls, not very hot.. garlic in foil on the side asked for butter. I drink a lot of water asked a few times for refill finally got it. I had eggplant rollanti I eat that regularly.. it was fine actually I prefer santos as well as twice the serving for less money! Hubby had veal he said it was fine. Salad was best part with good dressing and was nice and crispy cold! Dishes with paper towel from bathroom was left on the table till we were done.. no trash can in bathroom. I would have loved to love this place and walk to dinner but I guess I'll be looking to go back to nonas or keep searching.. I took my food home lady at next table took her phone call on speaker talking loudly not conducive to romantic dining! She even was showing the table who she was talking to her hubby seems notified at her bad manners! Bill with two glasses of house wine 100$ before tip.. for that I can go to oak and ember special 3 course meal and walk a little further! I asked hubby what stats he would give he said 3.5 for the price we may go back. It's not the money but just wasn't worth it nothing special! Service was good. Ate my leftovers today they were good cold. Hubby said it wasn't veal he had chicken gal must have heard him wrong but he never sends anything back said it was fine read more

Four of us went to Casa Bella for dinner Sept 21, 2025. Waited two hours to get dinners!! Another table came in after us, finished their dessert before we got served. When asking the waitress many times when we would get our dinners her reply--"They are being plated now." more time elapsed. Finally went to Gerry, the owner. He went to the kitchen and came out with the same reply. Ordered veal marsala-not very many pieces of veal and they were tough. They should call this dish mushroom marsala. Our guest ordered the creme brulee. The ramekin came out and the creme brulee was less than 1/4 thick. Skimped on food served and at full price!! Many other Italian restaurants in the area with better service and food. read more

Our first visit and it was nice. Food was good, not great and service was friendly. I had the Veal Clarice; four small medallions, topped with eggplant, capicola and melted provolone. A Marsala/mushroom sauce was it's compliment. Well prepared. My GF had the Eggplant Parmigiano and thought it was OK, but uninspired. Nice Italian wine list and it was all fairly priced. We'd give it another go! read more

This place is beautiful, quaint, and just lovely. It's an intimate atmosphere that is perfect for date night. The food is amazing. There isn't anything on the menu that isn't delicious! They have a beautiful outdoor seating area. Views are not the best since it's just street side, but you honestly, never notice. The gorgeous outdoor decor and wonderful breeze is just a peaceful heaven! We have been here a few times and I recommend you go and spend a couple hours being pampered by the amazing staff. The service is fantastic. They make this a truly wonderful evening. You are royalty when you are here. read more

5 star Italian restaurant! A gem!!! A old house with lots of charm and elegance at the same time. Best Italian food we have ever had in a restaurant! The bread was insanely delicious and addicting- homemade of course! We got a side of meatballs as an appetizer. So delicious! Soft tasty and the red sauce was yummy!!! The entrees were chicken parm and veal parm.- both sooo good. The chicken parm melted in your month- so soft and tender! Same for the veal! The side salads were very large that came with the meal- and homemade dressings of course! so unique! We had no room for dessert but heard most of them were also homemade. Our waitress was Summer and she was fantastic- so friendly, personable and knowledgeable! She made the dining experience all the better! So efficient and responsive. So glad we finally tried this place and we wil not be going to any other Italian restaurant in Martin county anymore! This is the number one top notch Italian!!! If you have tried it yet you are missing out on the best! Get there early to get in! read more

What a fantastic evening. The lovely bride and I finally had a night just for us. Started with the eggplant stack for her, escargot for me. Both delicious. Salads were fresh, crisp and made to order (translation, no onion on hers, extra on mine). Entrees were excellent as well. Veal CasaBella for moi, scallop and shrimp for her. Our server, Danny, was a riot. Wine list has nice variety and fairly priced. We'll be back read more

For those that have dined here they know what a wonderful experience they enjoyed. The setting is perfect for a first rate Italian restaurant. The owner and staff are friendly and knowledgeable of the buildings history as well as the menu. The food and presentation are terrific. My wife and I will definitely return and will bring guests when the opportunity presents itself. read more

First, let me state that the food at this restaurant is excellent and the service is also good. My wife and I went there for dinner on New Year's Eve. We had a 6:00 PM reservation. When we got to the restaurant at 5:55 PM we were told the table assigned to us was still occupied. The server said they should be finishing up and we should be seated in about 10 minutes. One hour later we finally got seated. What irked me the most is there was other tables available, but we could not have one of those tables because they were assigned to someone else, so we had to wait for the table assigned to us to become available. The real issue here is the restaurant did not have anyone assigned to handle new guests with reservations coming in for dinner. They relied on the servers to handle this task. Hopefully, they will learn from this experience and this type of issue will not reoccur in the future. read more

Service and Cuisine was excellent. Offer many gluten free items. Ambiance is great. Wine selection is excellent and reasonably priced.

In reference to the owners response 5 hours ago. You are rude and unprofessional and arrogant. Your responses to your negative reviews is not being able to accept not everyone likes your food. Don't assume I don't know the difference between quality Italian food and Olive Garden food. First of all, I'm from New York, your food does not compare to the high quality Italian restaurants in little Italy. Specifically, iL Cortile. I have provided the link below so your customers can try real quality Italian food. https://www.ilcortile.com/ All your negative responses to your customers shows just how rude and arrogant you are. Instead of apologizing and being courteous and asking what you can do to make their experience better, you just argue with your customers. Character alone says so much about the kind of person you are. Couldn't you come up with an original name for your restaurant other than Casa Bella. That's so commercial an often used name. read more

Food and service outstanding! The ambiance was very warm and welcoming. Will definitely return.

Last night was the worst dining experience I have had in my life. As someone with some experience in the food service industry, I was appalled at the service we received at Casa Bella restaurant. We arrived 15 minutes early to our 7pm reservation which had been made on Wednesday. We were celebrating my daughter and her fiance who had just gotten engaged at Shepard's Park down the street. When we arrived early, we were prepared to have to wait for 7pm but instead were surprised to have our table ready and we were sat swiftly. Unfortunately, that was the only positive surprise of the night. It took our server 15 minutes to greet our table, 30 minutes for our drink order to be taken and then another 15 minutes for water which we had to request... It was only after we asked for bread (because we saw that the table next to us had gotten bread) and almost an hour after we sat down that bread reached our table. Our server was clearly overwhelmed but the table of 8 next to us did not seem to have any issues... Once we realized that the service would be slow, we made sure to order our entrees as soon as possible. I won't even address the lack of proper wine serving etiquette or the fact that our server was unable to open and properly pour the bottle of champagne we ordered in celebration. After almost 90 minutes, I walked away from the table and asked to speak to the manager. I was informed there was no manager on duty and that the owner was behind the line. I asked the server to please convey our situation to the owner and ask how he could remedy the situation. I was told they ran out of salads and that was the delay... how an establishment such as this runs out of salads at 8pm on a Saturday is beyond me... but we pushed through... The straw that broke the camel's back was at 9:15 pm when the entrees finally reached the table and the lasagna was cold. I once again walked away and insisted to speak to the owner immediately. While I was waiting for him, I was told by someone in my party that they had found a long hair in their veal parmigiana. The owner came out... didn't apologize but instead told me they were doing the best they could and that the salads had run out and it was the best he could do. I waited for him to pause talking and asked him about the hair in the veal parm and he said that there was no hair in his kitchen and told me it was probably my hair. He said he would recook the veal and I said we were not interested and that we were leaving. I was presented with a check for the whole meal with not as much as an apology. I told him I would pay for the bottle of champagne, two bottles of wine, appetizers and even the salads that were consumed but I would not pay for the entrees that came out cold and with hair after a 2 1/2 hour wait. He walked away and said that he would call the police... Once Martin County's finest showed up, needless to say the full check was paid with a promise to never return and make it known to ALL, the horrible service that we received. I would be remiss to not add that the table next to us, a party of 8, had their leftovers boxed up in containers and bags before our entrees reached our table. The only difference between them and our table of 7 was that we were openly speaking Spanish... read more

Very good Italian food. Service ok. Dining room is a little tired. Just wish they would get an up to date reservation system. No reservations for 2 people. read more

Nice little restaurant but I was disappointed in the food for the prices. With an entre, they state you can have a soup or salad. There are two soups to choose from, Minestrone and Pasta Fagioli. When I ordered the Past Fagioli, they waitress said there would be an "up charge" for that soup although it was printed in the menu with the dinner. At least I didn't see it, even though there's only the two soups to choose. When we got the bill, they charged $4.00 for the soup and frankly it wasn't that good or even hot. We are always looking for a great Italian restaurant but I guess the search is still on. Don't think we will be back there for a while. read more

Casa Bella Restaurant - Amazing food. Dan and Michael were wonderful! - Italian Near Me - Stuart, Florida

The local is divided into a large eating area that looks much like a pizzeria from a bygone era and an elegant, but smaller more intimate dinning area. At the entrance to the smaller section of the restaurant, be sure to take a minute to look at the porcelain collection. We were greeted by our waiter who escorted us to our table. The place is 'cozy' but there is just enough room for the waiter to serve. The specials are many and the menu is well organized. I recommend listening to all the specials before ordering. Initially we ordered the soft shell crabs as a an appetizer for the table. Regrettably the crabs were all gone; it was just 6:00PM! The chef appeared to inform us of the mishap. I then ordered the crab stuffed calamari. The calamari were good but not to everyone's liking. Soon after the appetizer the entrees arrived. I ordered the veal parmigiana with angel hair pasta in a marinara sauce. The veal was so tender it could be cut with the fork. The marinara was cooked to perfection and the angel hair pasta was al dente. What else could anyone ask for? The meal was an authentic Italian meal: well prepared and abundant. I strongly suggest more than one visit so that the various culinary delights can be savored. I recommend going hungry. read more

Came here for my birthday tonight. We were seated and nobody came over for about 10 minutes. We got waters and also asked for diet Cokes. The diet Cokes were flat and tasted off. When we got the waitress's attention she said she had just opened them from cans. These must have been cans sitting forever without refrigeration. Oh, and refills are not included. We probably waited about 20 minutes before we called the waitress over and asked her for bread. She finally brought out a basket and gave us 2 rolls each. Normally you'd expect a basket for the table. This waitress has no business serving in restaurants. Possibly the worst service I've ever experienced. We ordered clams oreganata as an appetizer and they brought out a plate of 6 tiny clams that were mostly filled with breading. It looked like a joke. Thankfully the main courses were decent, but for the price it's an absolute ripoff. Needless to say we did not opt for dessert as we had had enough. We almost walked out earlier but it was too late to go anywhere else. Do not go here. read more

I've been to this restaurant twice in the last month, both times the service was slow and rude. We had asked for a to go container, and the waitstaff had thrown out our food. The food was mediocre. Every table next to us complained about the calamari. Cute place, sadly will not be returning. read more

Make sure that you check your receipt because they charge you more then the menu price states they over charge us $14.40. I should have realized it was going to be bad when we went in at 6:45 on a Friday night there was only 15 people in the restaurant and only 3 more couples come in. Worst experience of our life! Gerry the owner/manager is a joke, rude and obnoxious! He and his assistant made fools out of themselves in front of other patrons in the restaurant. The food was horrible and he could not handle the truth and charged us for food he told us he has to throw in the trash. Than accused of us being drunks because we had 3 glasses of wine that were 1/3 full and that cost $80! (We paid the whole check in full by the way. Than he told us to never come back. The couple next to us witnessed the ordeal and kept telling him to stop but he was out there! I felt sorry for the patrons that had to witness his erratic behavior and were not happy with it. Than he hightailed out of the restaurant slamming the front door with whoever chasing him! It is sorry and I hope nobody has to have a stupid night like this! read more

2nd time, and it was absolutely fantastic again. Branzino (fish) special for my girlfriend and I ordered the seafood pasta with lobster tail, mussels, clams, calamari, shrimp, just scrumptious. Meatball appetizer was also very good, they also serve the fresh bread with roasted garlic. So appetizer, 2 specials and 2 bottles of Chianti...$150 before tip....Waitress Summer was super personable even though the place was swamped. This is a must if you are looking for great food and a relaxing dinner.... read more
