Such a beautiful place in the Valley. The food was good and the service was amazing. Our server, Aaron, was awesome as well as everyone else who helped out at our table. The drinks were such a great added touch to the meal. Very creative and delicious. It's definitely a must try and we will definitely be back.

Great food, attentive service, wonderfully designed venue. I think that captures the essence of Casalena. It is a bit noisy but that just adds to the high energy of the restaurant. Absolutely the best restaurant I know in Los Angeles when you combine all the individual components into one terrific experience. This comes with a warning.....reservations are hard to come by. Look to book two weeks out otherwise you're going to find that almost every day and hour is booked.

The hosts when I came in as a walk told me the place was full and she can only sit me at the bar. Made a reservation in front of her, for 15 minutes later, and magically “I was getting seated right away!” The server was amazing Food was good Valet stole money from my truck. All of this on my birthday Very nice

We love the ambience, beautiful! Service s are all good. Noise level is a bit loud but tolerable. Overall, it’s all ok. All appetizers we ordered were great but most steak we ordered are sadly to say not within par. Steak were served cold, gamey and not as good quality as expected. Branzino we also ordered was just ok. These needs to be given attention and some enhancement and modification can be done in your kitchen. Thank you.

Beautiful restaurant, food was good but not anything that gave us a Wow factor. Drinks were decent but very pricy overall for food and drinks. Table next to us was a larger party and extremely loud and screaming at points and the restaurant did nothing to ask them to take it down a notch. I don’t mind people celebrating and having a good time but it was over the top and took away from the beautiful atmosphere.

This is one of the nicest patio's in Los Angeles. The food is good, not outstanding, but good. We will come back and order from other parts of the menu. The server was very good and very pleasant and she chose a very good bottle of wine for us. But mostly, it's a very nice patio to spend the evening. The inside restaurant was too noisy for our tastes- patio was perfect.

Gem in the valley! Wade our server was awesome and spot on with recommendations. Pizza crust was perfect. Had spicy soppressata with honey. Yum! Shared eggplant cannelloni, sweet corn agnolotti and sea bass. Everything was delicious and in a beautiful space. We sat outdoors- it was a perfect temperature valley cool evening. Beautiful. Highly recommend- it was busy late on Sunday night!

Everything was great but the food. The pesto rigatoni was drowning in oil and it was more like a soup — I had to shake each piece of rigatoni because they were each filled with oil. The wagyu meatballs were dry and bland, they were already breaking apart. Food might be decent for people that have low expectations, but it’s not a fine dining establishment level when you consider the food quality.

First time joining. We'll definitely be back! I can tell they're still working out some kinks like they didn't bring out the full wine list for us, the wine glass they put on the table had a literal hole in it. There's only 1 bathroom downstairs for the women and it wasn't clear that there was 1 upstairs. The food was fantastic and the ambiance was awesome and I'm very sure they'll work out the kinks especially with feedback like this. WE WILL BE COMING BACK.

Wandering whether or not to go to Casaléna? Do you like watery cocktails? Then go. Do you like lousy food? Then go. How about incompetent, but friendly, service? Then by all means go!

This place is absolute gorgeous. The food was impeccable and so the service. The ambiance is beyond belief. The 2 seat tables are a little bit too close to each other....a little more space would be perfect!!! I will definitely go back to try everything on the menu.

Our server Aaron was incredible!!!! Super attentive and accommodating. The restaurant is a beautiful space, portions of food can be better so we don’t have to order 2-3 of everything for a party of 6 to try. Valet service is absolutely out of control. Not enough valet personal and angry customers waiting in line and becoming aggressive with one another

Been here 3 times now. The food is overpriced for the value. The food is fine, good even, but NOWHERE NEAR the level of a Petit Trois or a Mother Wolf. But it’s just as expensive. They overplay the reservations. Had an empty table next to us all night.

Lovely setting and ambiance in the outdoor patio. Unfortunately, it reeked of mosquito repellent (DEET)! I was told they had sprayed the day prior for their significant mosquito problem. They had no fan or candles to mitigate my exposure. By an hour and a half after dinner, I had a splitting headache and significant nausea. I was sick much of the night from my DEET poisoning. I spray mosquito repellent frequently and the smell normally dissipates in about 10-15 minutes. I can only imagine the dosing they must have used! Additionally, the staff was indifferent to my complaints!

My husband and i had dinner last night- sept 19. It was not a good experience and we will not be coming back. We told our friends about it also. Ot was noisy- we sat inside-way too expensive for what we ordered- lamb chops and steak. It was like beverly hills prices in woodland hills.

Beautiful place to eat! I think they are still working out a few glitches. My friend's food was brought to her by a staff member (not our server) even though it was clear it had been burned (it was black). When we brought it to the attention to our server, he immediately took it away and got her a new serving and it was delicious. Dessert was wonderful and the wine was very good.

The food, service and physical ambiance of the place are all amazing. However, it is almost unbearably loud inside the restaurant. The outside area seemed to be quieter, but the loudness definitely put a damper on our experience, as we were having trouble hearing each other talk. The place would be 5 stars across the board for me otherwise. I would recommend this place to a friend with the disclaimer that they should sit outside since it seemed quieter.

The restaurant is beautiful and very large, both inside and the outside patio and the food is very good. However, be prepared to make reservations days in advance because they are incredibly busy, and reservations fill up quickly. Also, be prepared to handle the noise level because it is exceptionally loud and the tables are very close together, especially if you are a party of only two. All in all, the restaurant is great as long as you are aware of the caveats.
