Reviews
The exterior can give you that country home down goodness you’ve been looking for. This used to be a home converted to a restaurant decades ago. You’ll notice it as soon as you enter and take in the ambiance of this location. The creaky wood floors and the interior decor, featuring ample paintings and trinkets placed throughout the dining spaces of the main dining area. The main dining area also offers some small side rooms for a more private dining experience. They also have a large atrium dining area, as well as an outdoor patio.
The FOOD:
As you can see by my plate, I decided to order a sampler. It has a little of everything. Lasagna, Rotini, and Veal Parmigiana. ABSOLUTELY none of it was disappointing! As you can see from my empty plate. I also ordered a nice glass of Moscato. I like my wines on the sweet side. You know how you get one of those heavy-handed, season-pouring Chefs??? Not here, well-balanced, and delightful. Reasonable pricing for the experience as well. $$
FINAL THOUGHT:
It is absolutely worth your while to seek out Casa Bella.
I give it 5 STARS!! They are a locally owned family business, too! Please support them!
Lastly, I do NOT take any compensation for any of my reviews. NONE!! I am straightforward with no favoritisms at all!!
The building itself is charming, and I appreciated the distinct atmosphere in the different dining areas. The front room feels more open and noticeably cooler than the interior rooms. If you prefer a warmer, cozier setting, the inside seating may be a better choice; if you like a cooler, more open feel, the front room is preferable. Neither space was uncomfortable—just a noticeable difference.
Our server was pleasant and polite; however, communication was difficult due to her limited English proficiency. This led to some confusion throughout the meal. At our table of four, we ordered one beer, two red wines, and one white wine. The beer arrived first, the two red wines about ten minutes later, and the white wine another ten minutes after that. The red wine (a Cabernet) was served chilled, and when I asked about this, the question did not seem to be understood. Shortly afterward, the owner came to our table and explained that red wines are kept refrigerated because the kitchen becomes very hot. While I understand the reasoning, this is not ideal for red wine service. He also explained that the white wine bottle had broken, requiring someone to leave and purchase another bottle.
We had also requested water. One glass arrived early, before the drinks, while the remaining three arrived after all alcoholic beverages were served. The timing felt disorganized, though we chose to move past it.
For food, we ordered three veal dishes and one chicken dish. The two veal parmesan dishes were quite good. The third veal dish, however, was overcooked and tough. The chicken dish was acceptable. Portion sizes were reasonable; no one had leftovers. As mentioned in other reviews, the rolls were very small—one per person initially. When we asked for more, a second roll was provided.
We did not stay for dessert or coffee. The total cost came to approximately $120 per couple. Each entrée included soup or salad. The salad was fine, and the pasta fagioli was average.
Overall, this restaurant clearly aims to be quaint and special. The atmosphere succeeds in that regard, but the service execution and some food details still need refinement to fully deliver on the experience they are trying to create.
We will absolutely return and heavily recommend.
The pictures we uploaded feature the Clams Oreganata, Seafood Risotto, Pollo Casa Bella, the homemade Tiramisu, Homemade Coconut Gelato, and two cappuccinos. We splurged!
