“ Great food, excellent service, and quiet atmosphere. A true Italian restaurant. We always enjoy our visit. ”

“ Order delivered by Grub-hub but instead of continuing through Yelp app I opted to go directly to Grubhub to make sure my prime membership is validated and delivery fees waived. The order arrived in great shape and pretty fast. I order the pappardelle and grilled octopus. The pasta came with a salad and rolls. I am a fan of pappardelle and always in search of a great one that duplicates my experience overseas. The pappardelle came in a sausage ragu sauce which has a little kick to it. It's meaty and tasty! The pasta itself is not as al dente as I'd like and it has a taste/smell that reminded me inside of my fridge... it certainly didn't say it's handmade or anything but I have a hard time getting over that smell. Could just be me. And I love grilled octopus! It was very tender and great tasting. It's a bit awkward though because it's an appetizer but priced like a main course while the portion is big enough (lots of beans) to be an entree. And in comparison to the pasta, just a dollar more, can be two meals... ahhhhh the American dreams! I think the food is in high quality. Hopefully I will get a chance to visit the establishment in person one day. ”

“ I recently visited Casa Italiana for a friend's birthday dinner and it was a decent experience. It was a 8 of us in our party and the waitress did a good job with keeping everything flowing nicely. It was my first time there and was looking forward to trying it out. We all ordered drinks and I had a limoncello martini and it was tasty. For appetizers we had fried calamari and homemade fried mozzarella. Both were really good. For my entree I had the jumbo shrimp scampi and it was made with linguine in which I love but the pasta was a little overcooked and the scampi itself was very bland. It was still edible however. It came with a house side salad which we all upgraded to Caesar salad instead. The salad was very lackluster. Everyone in our party seemed to like the food somewhat but there wasn't any delicious comments floating around either lol. All in all it's a nice restaurant to visit for a dinner party. The only thing missing was music! ”

“ Casa Italiana was one of the first restaurants I came to in the Richmond area back in 2020. I was here for a job interview, staying at a local hotel, and needed somewhere to eat late in the evening. Despite being within 20 minutes of closing, they graciously served me a wonderful meal that I was looking forward to replicating again. Fast forward to 2024, I took my fiancé here for dinner. Hoping the octopus appetizer was still on the menu (it was), I was also looking forward for something a bit different as well. Despite not having reservations, we were seated promptly and greeted by our waiter. The decor and ambiance are inviting as is the italian music that's playing through the speakers. Not too loud, and certainly makes for a nice experience. We were served our drinks and placed our order. I chose the chicken piccata and she opted for the seafood risotto. We also ordered the Octopus appetizer which was well made and quite tasty. Salads arrived full and fresh. Nicely made. We were also served some house-made bread with real butter that made for a nice accompaniment. Finishing our salads, our waiter returned within a couple of minutes with our meals. The chicken piccata was stacked over a bed of spaghetti with buttery wine sauce and capers. Her risotto was well decorated with a variety of seafood including mussels, shrimp, squid, and had fairly creamy texture, but the rice still had a bit of a bite to it and the dish could have been a bit more creamy. Still, the flavors were quite good. My chicken tasted okay, but was a bit tough in areas and a bit bland. What really stood out was our waiter. He was the epitome of what I would consider to be professional, prompt, and courteous. Definitely someone who has the caliber to be providing service in a more upscale establishment. He definitely made up where the meal fell slightly short. They are fortunate to have him. I would recommend Casa Italiana for its diversity in meal options, excellent service, and nice ambiance. I will definitely be coming back to try some of their other options! ”

“ On Saturday, 9/21, my husband and I were joined by very good friends who were celebrating their 40th anniversary. I mentioned this in the special request section when I made the reservation. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a sweet "So who is celebrating their 40th? Congratulations!" From that point, the service continued to be completely professional friendly! The only problem we had was OUR problem. I did not make the reservation early enough for us to be able to have our lovely dinners and then go onto our show at 7 o'clock. We were your worst customers! It was not fair of us to ask "when will salads be out?" Or "When may we expect our entrées. ?" It was our fault for timing it wrong. We were very excited to take our friends here for their 40th because we knew it would be an excellent experience. We ordered chicken piccata, chicken Parmesan, chicken marsala, and veal saltimbucco. Everything was delicious, plentiful, and well presented. Joe, our server, was very patient with us. He made an excellent wine recommendation as well. We had to take half of our meals home and we enjoyed them the next day. I want to apologize to the staff for our poor choice of timing. We do enjoy Casa Italiana and we will be back! ”
