I've been searching for ravioli that would at least somewhat remind me of Italy for months now. Everywhere I go, everyone flavors their Italian food with so much salt. Not Casanova's! The cheese ravioli was sooooo delicious! My husband got chicken fettuccine alfredo, which he loved. We both had leftovers since it comes with salad (big and filling with good dressing and croutons).
We were stuffed, but since we had read so many reviews about the pizza we got a slice to go. It was good too. I love Venezia's pizza, and I'd say don't expect the same softness as their dough.
The dough on pizza isn't overly flavorful, but it's dough-y, which I like, but still thin. And they get a crispness on the bottom that is perfect. I usually don't like thin crust but the dough was soft enough for me to enjoy
thoroughly and my husband liked the Boar's Head ham.
The best part of Casanova's was the customer service. We were greeted by Tony and he did the most to remember our names. We got free garlic knots since it was our first time (yummy too). It was a bit warm inside, but that was my only complaint. They seemed very busy, which is great for an independent place.
I've never been to New York, but I can imagine this is the NY hospitality of pizza joints everyone tells me about.
We'll be coming here again!
