          Casanova is always a lovely experience. The Dover sole and crab risotto are must have dishes. Lovely basque cheesecake as well. Service is always wonderful. Thank you for a great meal.

          Have been dining here for many many years. They do not disappoint. Last night the crab risotto was delicious. Focaccia was downright superb alongside some very creamy butter. You will enjoy a meal here.

          Locals warned us—and they were right. It’s extremely overpriced for what you get and the quality isn’t good. Limited selection of foods. Skip it!

          Tiramisu is the best on the planet. And the service cannot be rivaled anywhere.

          We had a very nice meal at Casanova. Charming restaurant walkable from most hotels in Carmel. The cannelloni was fabulous! Id say the salad with romaine lettuce & shaved parmesan was pretty mediocre for $19.00. That in particular seemed like an odd price for 5 pieces of romaine with a little parmesan on top. I felt taken advantage of there. The rest of the meal was pretty good.

          It's been a while since we have eaten here as we used to go to lunch whenever we were in town but hadn't been since they stopped serving lunch. We were not disappointed. The staff was friendly and very accomadating and the food was excellent.

          Very limited menu and Dover Sole was deboned at the table. No substitution policy very strict.
