If I could give this place a negative I would. Server had an attitude the whole time. We waited a long time for simple drinks like lemonade and sprites. Food was bland. Bread was hard. My friend got a BLT, and the bacon was black. Our whole table didn’t finish their food. We advised the server of our dislike of the food to which she told the owner. He never came to the table. Literally sent a message through her saying “ he apologized and hopefully it won’t be like that next time.” The server then continued with her attitude to which she went to another table to clean and was talking about us loud enough for us to hear. The bill was over $300 where no one enjoyed it. Overall did not enjoy the experience and WILL NOT be returning! The decor was nice though.

Honestly terrible I was so excited to try this place and now I wish I never stepped foot into it on impact the server who you can tell is miserable was rude as ever half the tables food came out before the others all of the meat was dry sand which breads were hard as rocks and I had the lovely opportunity to have the blandest Alfredo I’ve ever had in life to call them selves an “ITALIAN” Resturant is pitiful and a joke I held the food down all of 20 minutes until I had to race to the bathroom to vomit my lungs out salt and pepper didn’t do the trick for the food and maybe if the waitress had a better attitude I maybe it could of saved at least one of their stars but nope and the. The chef only sent her out to apologize after seeing a review he came out with the most insincere apology now if you can excuse me I need to go finish the round of food poising I have acquired from this waste of space of a Resturant $300 worth of disappointment I wouldn’t feed this to my dog or my worst enemy

Little unassuming Italian spot that has the BEST risotto in the greater Richmond area. The mushroom risotto is buttery, glossy, and perfect texture. I would come back for this dish alone. All the staff were very friendly and attentive. Super clean and would highly recommend

I recently visited Casa Italiana to celebrate my cousin’s 40th birthday, and the experience was incredible from start to finish. The atmosphere was perfect, and we lucked out with their $5 Monday wine special!
A huge shoutout to our waitress, Patricia, who was phenomenal. She was incredibly attentive and went out of her way to be accommodating to the babies in our group, ensuring we all had a memorable time.
The food was fantastic across the board. We ordered:
• Appetizers: Mozzarella sticks and fried zucchini (both delicious).
• Entrees: Eggplant Parmesan, Chicken Marsala, and Penne Vodka with Crab.
• Highlight: The bread was served hot, fresh, and perfectly fluffy.
The only minor note was that the Shrimp Scampi could have used a bit more seasoning, but everything else was a 10/10. I highly recommend giving this place a try!

Bartender sucked. Bad Attitude. My drinks are always consistent. This was awful. Asked what happened to the original bartender that is usually there. Guess she’s gone. My husband and I always enjoyed her. Worst experience I’ve ever had at the bar.

Super charming Italian spot! Came here for an early lunch with a friend one random Saturday and couldn’t have been more pleased with our church! Delicious home made pasta – I got the pasta special, which was a spinach pasta with a light sauce with cherry tomatoes. Perfectly balanced flavors. Also very filling, especially after the warm bread and butter, so we did not have room for dessert, but I definitely want to come back and try the sweets menu!
We sat at a booth, but there was plenty of seating, including additional seating that I didn’t get a picture of since we just stayed at the front. Would definitely be able to accommodate a group. Wonderful service as well. Would recommend for families as well as couples looking for a romantic spot to get away. It’s a lovely space.

My partner and I had dinner here last week and it was AMAZING. The seasonal drink I had was so tasty (I think it was called the white Christmas margarita). Our server, Keyera, was incredible. Friendly, helpful, and engaged in conversation when she was able to (she was also the bartender ended the evening). We had the special appetizer Brussels spouts which were delish. I ordered the scallops on the special and the risotto they came with was scrumptious, as were the scallops. Seasoned and cooked to perfection. I could’ve done without the walnut, but that’s because I have texture issues with food so next time, if I get it again, I’ll order it without the walnuts. My partner got the braised beef ravioli, which he said was tasty. He didn’t realize it came with red sauce but said the sauce was also tasty. We had the dark chocolate and pistachio bread pudding to go and it was very good as well. Oh, and the bread was fantastic. Can’t wait to go back!

Very disappointed with this Italian restaurant. Despite the fact that it had very good reviews I thought the food here was poor, service lacking and staff unfriendly. The chicken picatta i had was average with very rubbery chicken. My daughter had gnocchi which was okay except for the hair she found in her food which put her off. The lasagna is a deconstructed mess on a plate and the Ravioli was uninspiring. Deserts were no better. The lemon cake barely had any flavor and the tiramisu was more a pudding in glass that was mainly all cream. I would also suggest removing the undecorated xmas tree, after all its now late January! This restaurant just seems tired and a little tatty inside. The staff were noticeably unfriendly and most seemed unhappy. When we left I said thank you and goodbye to two staff members at the empty bar who completely ignored me. I would not visit this restaurant again nor recommend it to anyone.

This place is a gem. The service was fantastic, the food came out quickly, and was delicious. Very good recommendations from our server. The atmosphere is warm and inviting while also feeling very well put together. I can here for a first date and we both had an amazing time.
Also the owner drives a CitiCar which he proudly parks out front (as he should!) need I say more??
