We came upon this restaurant only by riding my e-bike down back roads on one of my daily exploring…read morerides 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.

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.

For dessert we had the spumoni tartuffo yummy. Service was good.

Finally made it to Fantinis! We have been planning to come since it opened but life just gets in…read morethe way. We were delighted when we found out Fantinis was apart of the flavor of south Florida for the month of September which includes an app, entree and a dessert. We thought this would be a great plan to try more of the menu. We ordered the Brussels and the chopped salad to start. Also threw in an order of meatballs. All were tasty. Meatballs I would definitely order again! I like how the chopped salad had chopped pieces of burrata. I opted for the miso cod and hubby got the à la vodka gnocchi. Cod was tasty but I'd probably opt to make it at home then order it out again. Husband's gnocchi was ok as I'm not a lover of gnocchi. However the leftovers of it were scrumptious. Got the tiramisu to eat while we were there and the chocolate cake to go. Service was great. We got a bottle of wine and enjoyed the night while jamming out to the music. Realized by the time it was ready to go that there was a DJ playing all the hits. I look forward to returning and trying the pizza and some pasta dishes.

This place has a super interesting menu that I think would draw folks in. The menu listed Gnocchi ala vodka. I immediately jumped on it. Unfortunately, it fell way short. Strike one - the gnocchi were mush. Not pillows as the manager tried to convince me of but lacking texture and consistency. The sauce was also super flawed and appears to have been thickened. Nice place with a cool vibe but the food was lacking. Well come back in the hopes it was just a bad night.

All of the entrees were good sized to huge. I started out with Stracciatella soup which was among the best I've ever had. I followed that with the Veal Piccata. The portion size was amazing and the meal was outstanding. I helped finish my friend's chicken Milanese which was equally good. Another friend ordered the chicken cacciatore which was huge. He still managed to eat every bite because it was so good. They have a decent wine list and an ok beer selection. There was a live band playing in the bar area. It made it fun but a little difficult to talk. I can't wait to come back to the area and try some other things on the menu. I'm confident that you'll enjoy your meal here.

The reason for the low score is that the owner is unaware that the customer experience is important also . The air conditioning was set very low and it was extremely hot. According to other reviews this is not a new phenomenon in this resturant . We had to box up half our food and take the birthday cake somewhere else to enjoy it. The owner advised us the music method he uses was broke so we improvised and played Italian music on one of our phones. we hope the owner will use this review as a cue to upgrade his practices to ensure a comfortable and pleasant experience for those who choose to dine there. In the meantime, the recommendation is to order for take home.

I was…read moretold I had the duck but, honestly it obviously didn't leave an impression one way or the other. Why I had duck at an Italian restaurant is beyond me. Clearly it was not the dish to try. However, that was not the experience I had with my most recent visit. The Ambiance The ambiance is a cross between your typical Italian restaurant with wallpaper scenes of Italy and a sports bar with photos of baseball players (predominantly my team, the Yankees) and a Tom Brady wall when he was with the Buccaneers. There's high-top tables and bar seating in the bar area and a large dining area in the dining area. The Service Efficiency with a smile would be the best way to describe the service. It seemed like everyone had a job and each person filled that job to perfection. Tables were cleaned as soon as they were messed, dishes were cleared as soon as they were done, drinks were refilled immediately all with a smile and the utmost of courtesy. As a restauranteur, I must say I have never seen such efficiency and professional courtesy all in one package. The Food If you like big dishes, one's that provide enough leftovers for a week, you'll love this place. If you like fantastic Italian food, this is the place for you, if you enjoy a great dessert, you'll find one right here. For our appetizer, we shared the Calamari. It had a crispy crust and a uniquely chewy, yet tender interior. My lovely bride chose the Chicken Piccata over a bed of Angel Hair Spaghetti. The chicken was oh so tender with just the right lemon in the sauce to add a bit of zest. I chose the eggplant parm with rigatoni and sweet Italian sausage. The eggplant, although a bit thicker than I like, was covered in a crispy layer of melted mozzarella cheese. The eggplant was tender and tastefully finished with a nicely seasoned breading. The entire dish was amply topped with a robust marinara sauce. The accompanying rigatoni was a bit too thin for me but was cooked Al Dente to perfection. For dessert, we chose the tiramisu and peanut butter pie. Both were excellent with the tiramisu featuring just the right blend of coffee and cream. The peanut butter pie was oh so creamy and finished with a sprinkling of chocolate. Both were a fitting way to end a great dining experience. The bottom line The bottom line as always with my reviews is my "customer so what" ... would I come back? I'm sure you know the answer based on my above review. Although pretty expensive for an Italian restaurant... $150.00 for a party of two, the size of the dishes is big enough to provide leftovers for another two dinners, I definitely would return and if you haven't been there, it's definitely worth the trip.
