    Best stuffed artichoke in town
    Andrew M.

    This Resturant is like being at home with your family. All the waiters are nice, food is old school Italian and the bread basket is off the hook. Order veal ala Dominick if you like spicy

    Some of the best would've eaten on Staten Island

    The new proprietors, which is not Francisco's who is amazing I stated in another page I had a party there for my sister. The food was absolutely amazing and so much of it. The waiters and waitresses were pleasant. Efficient and attentive. Dominick will help me plan was amazing and the new owner Angelo were awesome. I suggest everyone try at least a dinner and if not plan a nice party you won't be disappointed take it from me I'm a teen ass lol.

    Since I'm not familiar with Staten Island, a friend recommended this place for dinner and very glad she did! We were seated immediately and our order was taken promptly. While we waited for our clams oreganata appetizer to be served, soft music piped through out the restaurant as we sipped on chianti and munched on a basket of warm bread including focaccia and breadsticks. Overall the clams were well seasoned and tasty followed by a house salad. When our entrees were served, I was taken back by how much food was on the plate. I ordered the chicken francese and my boyfriend ordered scungilli and linguini; both were excellent! The ample portions were enough for leftovers the next night. To top off the meal, we shared a red velvet cake along with a cappacino and expresso on the house; the cake's icing was a little too sweet for my taste. In summary, we both enjoyed our dining experience at Casanova. The staff was very attentive, food prepared to our liking and for the amount of food we had, the price was reasonable. Will certainly return with friends in tow next time!

    I can't help but laugh while writing this review, my experience was comical to say the least. I went here for a family party, we used the private room in the back. Upon entry you are greeted with what I can only describe as the oh so familiar "porta potty smell". Once in the room, we noticed a giant hole in the ceiling that had been patched up with tape and loose pieces of plastic. There's no changing table in either bathroom so that's fun with a baby. My FAVORITE part is how horrendously dirty the floor was (picture provided). My white shoes were black from this carpet, like truck stop dirty! The food was mediocre at best. I gave them 2 stars because the staff was quick and attentive but probably because they didn't want to be on the carpet for too long. I would never go back, not unless I need my dye anything black.

    Veal Marsala with side of rigatoni and Chicken Sorrentino with side of linguine with olive oil & garlic. Bread basket and 3 toppings!

    What a huge surprise!! We drove up from Tampa and stayed at a nearby hotel and googled neighborhood Italian restaurants. The place was nearly full & we sat at the bar. What was the big draw on a Monday night? Karaoke!! People were having so much fun, the music was great. The vibe was fun and friendly!! Dominick, the owner, talked to us while we drank our wine. And then the food.....was fabulous! My husband had veal Marsala with a side of rigatoni and I had chicken Sorrentino with linguine with olive oil & garlic. The bread basket and 3 toppings were so varied and delicious, we could have made a meal on that alone, plus the salad with homemade Italian dressing. Take a look at the photo! Who is going to eat all this food??!!! Couldn't even think of dessert! We did what we could and took the rest with us. It was 9:00 & we have to get on the road early tomorrow. As we were walking out, someone even asked us, "Where are you going? We're just getting started!" I'm Italian from Rochester, NY and I have to say, We hated to leave. It felt like we were home! I hardly ever write reviews, let alone one this detailed, but I just had to--tonight was a treasure!

Staff is very professional and friendly, always making sure everyone is having a good time. Honestly, all the food is great here but some of my favorites are definitely the carpaccio and calamari appetizer (the calamari is the BEST I ever had, hands down) and their coffee panacota for dessert is also out of this world, just amazing! If you are a bread lover just know they make their own bread in house. 5 stars always!

For appetizers, we got zucchini chips, fried calamari and mussels. The calamari was fried too hard and it had a very salty, spicy Chilean type sauce over it. The zucchini chips were thinly sliced, lightly battered with Parmesan cheese sprinkled over them. They were decent but nothing to write home about. In fact, after having about six or seven of the zucchini chips I began to experience heartburn from the grease. For entrees, my husband had the chicken parm. He said it was too thick and should have been flattened more before frying. It was also very breaded. My brother-in-law ordered the chicken and waffles and he said the chicken tasted day old so after having a bite of one piece of the chicken he pushed the chicken aside and called it a day. I called the waiter over and informed him about the chicken tasting day old. He didn't try to change it out or take it off the bill or get a manager. He just apologized by saying I'm sorry. My crab Mac and Cheese was decent. It wasn't seasoned the way I would have liked but the huge, plentiful chunks of crab made up for that. I ate a third of my dish and packed the rest for home where I will doctor it up to my taste. I've never been to this particular restaurant before. The only reason we came today is because my brother-in-law was here on business and staying at a hotel in the area.

Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. There was truly an abundance of food, and every bite was delicious.

We chose to dine on the first floor, which has a chic, elegant vibe with beautiful décor and a relaxing ambiance. There was a special set menu for the day, and the selections did not disappoint. I had the Burrata Salad followed by the Branzino--both were fresh and flavorful, and the portions were huge! I couldn't even make a dent in my main dish. My husband enjoyed the crepes and the seafood linguine, and he was just as impressed. The kids' menu was a cute touch, especially with the clever dish names. When I asked my 10-year-old what she was having and she replied, "I don't care," I was caught off guard--until I looked at the menu and saw that "I Don't Care" was actually the name of the mac and cheese! So creative and fun. Drinks were great too--strong and satisfying for my husband, and I was happy to see a solid mocktail selection for non-drinkers like me. The only downside? There were only two dessert options available. I was hoping for a bit more variety, especially since everything else exceeded expectations. Overall, it's a 10/10 experience, and I absolutely can't wait to go back!

I'll start off with that I was able to get one, and I am so glad I did. Theres a warmth of nonnas that's made this one of the most unique dining experiences out there. You can feel the love of nonnas cooking in each dish and the joy it brings them. They have a rotating selection of Nonnas along with their classic Italian menu. The Italian menu had food I've never really had before, all executed so well. I had an entire lambs head (not for the weak), so I got to eat cheek, eye, brain, etc. nonna maria had to come teach us out to cook it but it was a fascinating dish. The rabbit was also fall off the bone which I was just so pleasantly surprised by. It came with potatoes and carrots so it just felt so homey. Nonna Elizabeth was Puerto Rico was the featured chef and she made salted cod fritters, which at first, I was like it sounds interesting, but it was so well seasoned I ended up loving it. Got a pork and rice dish also, and the rice was so fascinating. It had olives in it and the pork was well seasoned. They really make you feel valued and that you're in nonnas kitchen. Everytime you go, you're going to get a different experience with the featured Nonna. For real, try this.

Mario consistently took care of my family and I every time that we come here; his friendly, warm, and attentive service is reflective of what exemplary service looks like! Our favorite appetizers are the blackened scallops and octopus carpaccio; the scallops were ALWAYS cooked to perfection where it's both extremely tender and flavorful! The sausage and pepper hero was also extremely delicious, where the sausage is not overly salty but still flavorful and paired perfectly with its tangy and savory sauce! The mushroom truffle pasta is our favorite, including our little toddler who is usually a very picky eater; its creamy but not overly rich, and very savory with perfectly cut mushrooms that's not too thin and provides the perfect bite! What can elevate the dish even more if they gave just a bit more pasta so there's more to enjoy! The pizzas were also perfectly crisp on the exterior and very enjoyable, where the pepperoni was also crisped to perfection!
