- KKarenVIPDallas - Fort Worth •29 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoCasanova’s interior is rustic , chic and romantic, whether you’re seated inside the house or in the back courtyard. The service was top notch and our dinner was superb. My husband had the carrot salad to start followed by the sole diver sole, cooked to perfection and skillfully flirted by our capable server. I had the bursts cheese served with asparagus and lightly drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I had the white sea bass filet as my main course which was seared and served with a very light, and just enough cream sauce with a side of asparagus and morel mushrooms. I fell in love with the Gorius family’s Chardonnay, bright at first turning to creamy and rich. Perfect for me! A little pricey, but with every penny!More infoCasanova Restaurant CarmelPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Carmel•4.6
