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!
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
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.
Rating: 3/5 Visited: Nov 14, 2025 (night before Richmond Half) Came here for a pre-race carb load before the Richmond Marathon weekend. I ordered the beet & burrata salad and the spaghetti aglio e olio (no meat). Service was shaky — my salad came out with bacon at first, and only after I pointed it out did they bring the correct one. Food was fine but nothing memorable. The beet salad was okay, the spaghetti was decent but not standout. Bread was offered, but overall flavors felt pretty average for the price. We sat on the patio since we had our dog, which I appreciated, though there were no outdoor heaters. All in all, a solid enough Italian option, especially if you need dog-friendly seating, but the execution and taste weren’t strong enough to rate higher. I’d give it another shot next time I’m in Richmond and update this rating if things improve.
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

Authentic Italian flavors in a warm, welcoming atmosphere—perfect for family dinners and special occasions.
