          Haven’t did Maeck for several years, but really enjoyed the experience. Love the extensive Wine list and the choices of starters and entrées were superb. The bone marrow and cannelloni were our choices… Couldn’t go wrong

          The food was good, the cannelloni was a 10/10 I enjoyed every single bite. The gnocchi was good but I probably would just stick to the cannelloni next time. Great service and the place felt like a home. Definitely would come again

          Casanova’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!

          Everything was great only complaint I have is the our waiter seemed a little a rude to us, at least compared to the other tables. Kinda felt she thought she was better than me and my wife.

          Ambience can’t be beat. We were seated promptly in a small room with only 2 tables so very private. We were greeted by a waiter who asked us about our water preference. Cocktails were ordered and arrived in a timely fashion. From there it was down hill. We had some questions about our menu choices and the waiter seemed less than knowledgeable and had to check with the kitchen. Twenty five minutes into our visit another gentleman shows up at the table and announces he is our real waiter and the other an assistant. I ordered the duck leg confit. It was cooked perfectly but was served lying in a bed of what I can only describe as pieces of undercooked red cabbage and onion with no flavor. My spouse chose the “rack” of lamb. He asked to have it lollipopped, charred on the outside and medium on the inside. It was not lollipopped as it really appeared to be 2 lamb chops not a rack. It was undercooked and fatty and one of the most expensive items on the menu at $72. Didn’t even think about desert at this point. Would never go back.

          It was very loud as tables are very close. Pricing is higher than you would expect. The food quality is good but not over the top.
