So disapponted! We went for our second wedding anniversary. Chicken parm does not come with pasta. It is a $6.50 surcharge. What italian restaurant does not include pasta with your meal? Bread serving is 4 very small pieces of bread and the butter requested was small little plastic packets. Nothing special for an anniversary. The waitress said it was due to the hurricane.Our bill was almost $90 and that was for 2 entrees, 1 ceasar salad and 1 beer. I did not have a drink. We left hungry! Would not recommend. We also will not return. Susan Talbot Reservation Nov 19 at 6:30PM.

We had only been once before on Valentine’s Day where there was a set menu so we wanted to try again to sample the menu. Great choice! Bruschetta starter was fresh and tasty. My wife had the Beef Bolognese and I had the Veal Saltimboca with a side of spaghetti aglio olio and all were excellent. The only negative was we reserved on Open Table and indicated a birthday (my wife’s) which the restaurant did not acknowledge. Still a great pre-theatre meal.

Lovely restaurant! Food was very good! Excellent service! Need to mitigate the mold smell when you walk in. Main floor had a bit of mold scent. I know they just went through 2 hurricanes, we live here too. Just wanted to ensure they are aware. We'll be back! We enjoyed the Food, service & atmosphere!

What a wonderful evening! We found Casantica on yelp. The restaurant is so quaint and we quickly discovered the food was delicious! The sautéed calamari appetizer was beyond amazing! My friend isn’t a big Italian food eater because she does not like marinara sauce! Hah, she discovered that Italian food is so much more than marinara! The Saltimbocca was perfect! Will definitely return!
