    Fantastic food, but the ambiance was hindered by the music throughout the night. Was very casual and far less of a romantic atmosphere than expected. The homemade pasta was wonderful and would be reccomned as a spot for casual dining, but not for an intimate date night.

    3.5 stars. Casa is a nice looking laid back place in the ocean resort right on the beach in lauderdale. We were seated quickly at a nice outdoor table with a beautiful ocean view. Cocktails (margaritas) spicy and plain were very good, as was the Italian Gavi wine. Starters, carpaccio, calamari and Caesar salad were all very, very good. The veal chop was excellent, the shrimp risotto was just ok. The special veal parm was enormous. My wife and I split it and there was still leftovers. The veal was great. The side pasta was too al-dente, and I don’t like soft pasta. My only real complaint was the tomato sauce. I was expecting a “grandma’s Sunday gravy style,” robust flavorful sauce and what I got was just OK, similar to a quality jar sauce. Service was on point couldn’t ask for better. The lemoncello cake is a stunner, should not be missed. All-in-all, a very nice place. We enjoyed it and will certainly return.

    The food is excellent and the service was great. We go our bill at the end of the night and they ran my CC through. There was a mistake and they had undercharged me by $170. I pointed out the mistake and they thanked me for pointing this out. Corrections were made and then they over charged me advising me they are charging a credit card surcharge which was never advised until the bill arrived and is not posted anywhere in the restaurant. They advised this is common practice which is absolutely not the case in restaurants in Fort Lauderdale. I dine out at least 100 times per year and I have never been surcharged for using my CC in a restaurant. The waiter apologized. I simply advised him we had a great dining experience and this changed the experience. This is not an inexpensive restaurant by any stretch of the imagination and this is a nickel and dime approach. Again great food and great service - I don’t want to take away from that.

    From the food to the ambiance, everything was perfect. Our waitress Tania was amazing and knew how to give some space to relax and enjoy the meal. Five stars all day long.

    We opted for the bar area and did not regret it. It was lively and fun with great entertainment! We had a lot of food so we could try many things. Bruschetta/Meatballs/Tomato Salad/lamb Chops / chicken Parm and chocolate cake for dessert. From start to finish it was delicious. Our server was spot on as well as all other staff assisting. And the final bill was reasonable. Overall a wonderful night out!
