Locked in at the bar and it took me a minute to figure out what I wanted to eat but ultimately decided to go with penne meatballs and a cup of the Soup. Everything is homemade so when the soup came out and looked at me in the face I knew it was going to be absolutely delicious, and it was. Almost through pepper in it but didn't need it. Didn't even want crackers either. I spooned every last drop I could get of broth. The penne with meatballs came out hot! A very full bowl definitely pushed me to being full. Meatballs fell apart and or spot on with taste. For dessert I went with the pistachio cake, OMG! The only place I can compare this to that's equally delicious is tease bar and pizzeria in Stanford Connecticut. Every bite was flavorful. I enjoyed the place so much I decided to get a gift card for my grandparents for being awesome grandparents. A place for a date night.

Friends ordered the salmon and mushroom ravioli and both really enjoyed their meals. Service was prompt, friendly and attentive. Not much to look at from outside nestled in a tight residential neighborhood with limited street parking but complimentary valet service. Going inside of the restaurant ,however, the space is much more upscale and very nice. Prices were what I would expect for an upscale menu of this quality with most entrees between $25 and $40. I look forward to returning!

Amazing food, drinks and service. This is the whole package! You can never go wrong here.read more

I think it was so busy because there was a lounge with a live band playing upstairs. We ate in the dining room which had a nice warm atmosphere. We had bread with oil and spices which is always a nice way to start a meal. I asked about vegetarian options and based on our server's descriptions I decided to order the risotto. It was perfect- creamy with a nice texture to the rice and tasted delicious. Our server was excellent. You could tell he was a pro. Helpful and efficient but not intrusive. This is a lovely place for an intimate meal.

Both brought smiles to my friends' faces. The best part is we could dine outside and enjoy the beautiful summer evening.

Food was good and satisfying: we shared an appetizer of seared scallops on sautéed wild mushrooms; then a fettuccine al fredo. Both were very good though in hindsight, we should've doubled up on the scallops! Delicious!

We had an unfortunate experience this past weekend. I had scheduled a birthday party for about 45 guests at a local venue with a private room. About one hour before the guests were to arrive I received a call from the venue saying there was a catastrophic electrical failure and the facility had to close- including the kitchen, bar, and restrooms. I was now faced with 45 people milling around a closed facility waiting for a decision on how to continue the celebration. My stress level was the highest on record. I was considering a few places to move the event to, but being 6PM on a Saturday night I knew the chances were slim. It was then I thought of Steaming Tender and gave them a call. The hostess who answered was incredibly compassionate and spent a tremendous amount of time with me on the phone. She assured me that they would be able to accommodate us and started to reserve several tables. The entire group arrived about 25 minutes later and we were all greeted like old friends. We had to wait less than five minutes for the tables to be arranged and menus distributed. The evening couldn't have gone better. The food was as excellent as it's always been and the waitstaff was incredibly attentive. The guests were amazed at how quickly we were taken care of, and the quality of the food and service. The drinks were made perfectly and the food was served hot. About two thirds of the guests had never been to the Steaming Tender and were saying they would be returning. Kudos to the entire staff and management of the Steaming Tender at their professionalism and compassion at saving us from a total disaster of an important event. We will always be grateful and will continue to extend our recommendations. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

And bring water bowls for the dogs. We ordered burgers. Choice was "pink or no pink". I think they were understaffed. It took 90 minutes from arrival to departure.

It was right aside the service station so more often than not a server had their back to us most of the time. We came here as an anniversary dinner trip, and I am so happy we decided on Casa Bella.

We ended up finishing the night with a lemoncello and an espresso. While we have only been to Casa Bella this one time, I do plan on going back. Whenever someone around me is in need of a fancy spot, I will always recommend here!
