Casa Bellisima - Gnocchi with vodka sauce and a chicken cullet - Italian Near Me - Newton, New Jersey

Food and service are excellent. They are located in Andover on the Newton Sparta Rd. Plenty of parking. Certainly worth a try.

Haven't been in the area for a while and though we would try an old favorite. We had the shrimp casa appetizer filet with mashed and the pork chop. The shrimp was presented with a light breading in a creamy garlic lemon sauce excellent choice to start. The filet was tender and cooked to the perfect temperature. My date ordered the pork chop and substituted the polenta with the mashed. The chop was tender and perfectly spiced. Certainly one of the best dinners I've had in the area. Our server Alma, was friendly, attentive and timed our dinner perfectly. The ambiance is warm with a modern Italian flare. All in all an enjoyable evening. Highly recommended. read more

This place was FANTASTIC!!! Really blown away by the entire experience for such a remote location!!!! You can always tell you are near a metro area when the chefs in surrounding areas know how to put together a plate!!! We loved everything from beginning to end!!!! A must stop if you are in the area!!! read more

Casa Bellisima - Plum and Burratta salad - Italian Near Me - Newton, New Jersey

their steamers were good but the rest of their food was subpar. Brussel sprouts as their vegetable without a heads up. The potatoes in the Veal Saltimbocca meal weren't cooked completely. Pasta was overcooked and fake spinach in the cannelloni meal. read more

Excellent food. Charcuterie board, filet mignon, & sangria were right on point Friendly & attentive service. Ambiance, quiet & family oriented. Will be returning for sure! read more

It was a few years since we've been to Casa Bellisima and while I enjoyed the restaurant before, I thought it was just outstanding last night! We celebrated my wife's and her friend's birthdays. From the delicious Cheese & Meat appetizer, French Onion soup, delicious entrees and desserts, it was first rate all the way around. Pairing that with great wine made the dinner a time to remember. On a Saturday night, the restaurant was packed. I definitely recommend you make a reservation and head up to Sparta and give this place a try! read more

Casa Bellisima - Basil Limonata - Italian Near Me - Newton, New Jersey

We dined at Casa Bellisima on a Sunday for an early dinner. The restaurant was packed with large parties but we were still welcomed by the owner and her graciousness. We had another family member as our server who was wonderful. The restaurant has a warm ambiance. We shared the hot antipasto to start. Their wine list is not extensive but we did find a good Sauvignon Blanc. Entrees: Filet of flounder with mushroom risotto Chicken Scarpariello Shrimp special Can't forget to mention their homemade biscotti. Delicious! We enjoyed our dinner at Casa Bellisima and would certainly return when in their area. read more

Early dinner on a Friday night! We got right in and we're seated in a cozy corner, which I appreciate because I have some hearing loss and the large open dining room would be tricky for me to have quiet conversation. We both ordered French onion soup which was delicious! Tons of cheese on top! We ordered from the regular dinner menu, salmon griglia and shrimp fra diavolo. Both were delicious and it was plenty of food. I didn't get pics of the soup, salad, or roasted potatoes but the dinners are here to see. We had a fairly new server, Reilly, who was awesome. He went out of his way to thank us, walking out to the front door as we were leaving. Really nice evening out. Thanks, Casa Belissima! read more

I was excited to find an Italian restaurant with a beautiful outdoor dining set up out in the suburbs of New Jersey, but I was disappointed in the lack of flavor in my dish. I ordered the linguini in clam sauce and it tasted like it lacked all the ingredients except for the linguini and canned clams. The rigatoni bolognese was decent but nothing out of the ordinary. This had a lot more flavor than the linguini. One thing I did enjoy were the tomatoes that came with the bruschetta to snack on. The dessert I tried was also a heartbreak as I love napoleon cakes. Unfortunately it tasted completely out of a box and refrigerated for a long time. For the prices, the experience was not up to par. read more

It was just okay. not bad but not to die for. Service was good though. And atmosphere was nice however it was kinda loud. Granted that we did go on a Saturday night and sat by the bar area. Food was pricey for small portions read more

Very disappointed. Been here many times. Tonight not good. My wife ordered pasta with broccoli rabe with crumbled sausage. She received two pieces of broccoli rabe and sliced sausage. My veal chop was literally raw and tough. Waitress was shocked when I showed her. I had a second come out and was cooked but very tough....So much so that another patron came over and asked if I was having trouble cutting the chop because he had his eye on it. I warned him to avoid it. So my wife ate alone I waited 20 minutes for my second meal. Owner apologized but offered nothing. VERY DISAPPOINTED. Will take business elsewhere read more

Everything with our experience at Casa Bellisima was exceptional. Service was outstanding, our server went above and beyond, including our toddler in conversation. The food was delicious. I'm very happy to have found a great Italian restaurant in the area. Priced appropriately for the portions served. I cannot express any more on how much of a good experience I had here. Can't wait to return. read more

If your in the mood for really good Italian food this is your local spot! This was actually my first time here after living in the area for a LONG time, and I was so happy I came in! The sauce was definitely homemade and the service was 10/10 definitely recommend! Thank you read more

This place is a joke. The food is flavorless and the sauces are watery. The pasta is over cooked into mush and it seemed like the sauces are watered down to stretch the inventory. The mixed drinks didn't have enough liquor in them and the wines had cork in them and tasted like they were swapped for a 2 buck chuck from Trader Joe's. I honestly would save your money for this overpriced fisherprice meal and order in from your local pizzeria, it'll be better quality and even if it's not, it'll be cheaper. read more

Best higher-end Italian restaurant in the area. Long hots app is great. I recommend this place.

Last May 31st, we had the rehearsal dinner for my son's wedding at Casa Bellisima with 50 people in attendance. First shock was to see another wedding party (much smaller but still...) in the same room!!!! Of course the noise was unbearable, nobody could hold a conversation, and the wedding speeches were totally lost. Our dinner started at 6pm and they were so slow bringing food (kitchen and servers were totally overwhelmed) that just at 9 pm they brought the main dish. Bride and groom had to leave at that time for Welcome Drinks at another venue, and the rest of us didn't know what to do. People were starving from long trips from home. Servers were trying their best but obviously it was an unacceptable management mistake to try to fit so many people (they were sitting other guests in the other rooms) to make as much money possible. Finally, we all left without even finishing the main dish or deserts. Major management screw up! In summary: a total disaster. I have no comments on the food (irrelevant at that point), Casa Bellisima ruined the night for everybody for their greediness. Advice: Don't even consider this place for a party read more

Always exceptional service and food quality. I love this atmosphere and cozy feel. The food is always very good. Dina, the owner is always present, driving the excellent service to perfection making the guests feel welcome and appreciated. read more

If you want to waste your money on food that has no flavor, then this is a place to be the stuffed mushrooms were extremely bland. My wife ordered two meals that had to go back because they had no flavor. We make them better at home. I needed a microscope to see the chicken on my plate. I ordered the chicken Colombo, I asked for it to be over pasta and I got pasta on the side with a marinara sauce however, they took my wife's meals meals off the check, but still charged me for the potatoes that she did not eat which was the side can you believe that waste of a drive waste of money won't be back we stopped at McDonald's on the way home read more

So disappointing. Very expensive, which I would not mind if the portions were adequate. The portions are very small compared to other restaurants. Cocktails are very weak. read more

First time here the drinks were good Bartender was OK server was OK the food was bland and terrible. We had stuffed mushrooms which had no flavor three mushrooms for $14. I ordered shrimp franchise that the chef said he could make it was fried shrimp on top of some bland Frances sauce, had to return it , then we got the chicken marsala and replace of that didn't taste like marsala sauce at all. It was terrible told them take it back. Unfortunately will not be back. read more

A word of caution... In difficult times like now when due to COVID-19 related government restrictions it is impossible to go out and enjoy restaurant dinners I was still seeking comfort food and decided to support a local family operated restaurant that was still offering take out/pick up. I chose Casa Bellisima based on prior experience with great food and very generous portions. I figured if I'm paying dine in price for take out at least I will get a generous amount of food for the money... Nope. $80 later (I even tipped them) when I came home and unpacked our to dinner I realized how stingy they were. The portions were literally one forth of the size they serve. I understand the hardship but I just lost a job myself and feel that this is very wrong. Lesson learnt. I will not order from them again. read more

This place rocks! My family has come here time and time again. Tonight our experience was over the top!!Everything from service to ambiance to the food is amazing! I can't say enough great things about Casa Bellisima! If you wish to impress a friend or date, treat your family or just have a delicious meal, you need to come here!!! I just heard another table compliment the owner on how great the linguini with clam sauce is! Every dish on the menu represents fantastic preparation, high quality ingredients, choice seasonings and recipes!! If you havent eaten here yet then you need your head examined! read more

Came here a couple of weeks ago for a rehearsal dinner, which we really enjoyed. The ambiance was really nice and the food was good. Things were served family-style for the various tables that were reserved. I kinda felt bad because we were a large, slightly loud group and for the regulars who were dining they probably would've liked it better without us taking over half of the room lol They were very accommodating for my gluten-free needs, I was able to get gluten-free pasta and they ensured my salmon was served gluten-free which was really nice. Solid choice! read more

Food was well proportioned and service was very good. Environment was a little crowded and noise level from bar area was a little distracting. Overall the food quality was great along with a very nice server. Only thing was our reservation was for 7 and we didn't sit down till 7:30. read more

excellent! we come almost once a week! the food is great. never had a bad meal! the owner and servers are the best!

Amazing food. I got the penne aka vodka. I went on my birthday and they sang happy birthday and made a special dessert plate for me. I love the interior and our waitress was very knowledgeable of the menu and any questions we had. read more

When you are here you ARE treated like family! It was really a nice evening. We hadn't been here in years and glad we came back. Dina, Alma, Katie and Melissa to name a few, took such great care of us. We had wonderful "al dente" fettuccine Alfredo, which is hard to find pasta done nicely. I had a great lemon drop martini, chicken saltimboca, we had the pork chop rollatini, homemade ceasar with thin Parma reggiano slices, fresh crusty bread and then chocolate chip bourbon sauced bread pudding and creme brulee. The genuine service and hospitality made the meal so special. Their hearts go into the experience. The bill was reasonable for all we ate and the portions were substantial. They didnt rush us, it was paced well. Thank you all..we will see you again soon. Hope you take the time to try them if you haven't been here in a while, now we will be back more often, it was very nice to enjoy it again and have an elegant meal. read more

Last minute family outing to one of our favorite local restaurants. Food is always delicious. The staff here is great. Always taking that extra minute to talk with us about our day/week/holiday. They dote over my daughter and have since she was an infant. We had Kim as our waitress tonight. She was terrific! I had the shrimp bisque and chicken Casa Bellisima with mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables. Can't wait to have my leftovers tomorrow. My husband had the French onion soup and the broiled seafood combo. There wasn't anything left on his plate. We didn't stay for dessert tonight because we were stuffed, next time! Great job again Casa Bellisima!!! read more

They charged me $36 (pre tax) for this!! 3 small, fishy smelling scallops and white rice with sauce around it. It wasn't even a risotto. I had to open all the car windows on the way home because the fish smell was so bad. Usually their food is fine but this was extremely disappointing. Imagine spending $12 per scallop just for it to taste like it's a week old. read more

Casa Bellisima - Scallop risotto - Italian Near Me - Newton, New Jersey

We've been going here since it opened at least 4 times a year. Since Covid we've been there twice and both times we were very disappointed. Though I hate being rushed during dinner, I also don't like being ignored. Dinner from start to finish took 3 hours, the food was mediocre at best, and the prices have increased tremendously. I had the Seafood Malafemina which had no taste, barely any seafood, and the pasta was mushy. We watched our waitress talk to another table for 20 minutes while we sat waiting to order dessert. We flagged another waitress who took our dessert and coffee order and served it. Usually I give a restaurant 3 strikes before not going back, but I'm not going to waste my time and money again. read more

You are a higher end Italian restaurant that charges higher end prices. Please go back to giving two full pieces of chicken when you order a chicken dinner. Almost $30 for a piece and a piece cut in half? That looks very tacky. read more

Outstanding! Worth every single penny! The food is phenomenal and the service incredible!

This place is terrible. Food is drenched in sauce, the best part of the meal was the steamed veggies because they didn't ruin it with some half-cocked attempt at a wine sauce. Lukewarm shrimp cocktail and a seafood salad that was calamari and scunguili from a can. The chef is clearly incompetent. The service was atrocious, slow and inattentive. And the restaurant was empty on a Friday night. It took the waitress about 35 minutes to take our order and she never returned for a second drink. It was quite simply one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. Dine here at your own risk! read more

I really enjoyed my time here. There are some things that need to be worked out in regards to the service. Sitting at the bar I felt I received much better service than sitting at a table. We ordered a bunch of apps at the bar and they were all delish! We enjoyed clams & eggplant which were both great. I will definitely return. read more
