This restaurant is under the radar but so good. The staff were friendly and specials entrees were fresh and delicious. We were not rushed and felt very welcome. The location may not seem like anything but give this place a try. We are adding Casa to our rotation.
We really liked Casa Verde restaurant, They serve very delicious Italian food, A beautiful environment for Italian good dishes in a warm friendly local ambiance. We came here second time and enjoyed it very much again! We had the 3 course package. You get great value for your money!! We recommend!!
Went again in a Monday evening. Again, service was impeccable; price fix menu for Sunday through Thursday had a variety of choices. Friend and I shared apps of rollatini and fried calamari. The rollatini was amazing but I think the fried calamari was a bit overcooked and the squid rings and tentacles were thin and small. However, I had asked for a substitution because it was not a choice in the price fix menu and my request was accommodated. A generous salad with an excellent house dressing came next but we had ours packed up because we wanted to have plenty of room for the main courses: chicken Marsala- a generous portion of chicken breasts in a delicious brown gravy with plenty of mushrooms. Also ordered cavatelli with broccoli rabe and sausage. There was significantly less pasta in this dish than I expected and I was thrilled with that! I love broccoli rabe and sausage and the pasta just added to the flavors rather than take up too much room on the plate. Desserts were limited because they didn't have them all but we didn't care. Love the style of the restaurant too. One glass of wine with an app, salad, main course and dessert with a generous tip---$63 each. Great value and great food. This is gonna be my go-to Italian place!
Pass this restaurant all the time , was invited to a birthday dinner , loved everything about this place . Food was delicious, staff and service excellent!! Looking forward to going back !
Very nice, neighborhood restaurant. We came for lunch and had a three course meal on a Saturday for about $30 each. Not a bad deal these days! Food was good. Nobody left hungry. Authentic Italian food with gluten free pasta options for those who have that preference. When we walked in, a nice lady took us to our table. I was with two kids and they were somewhat active. There weren't many people in the restaurant and everyone was very understanding. There is a pizzeria kitchen attached to the restaurant. Plenty of people were coming for takeout. This was my second time there and I would go back. My parents live nearby and visit more often. They know the second shift server. The vibe and atmosphere reminded me of the Cheers song - "when everybody knows your name; and they are always glad you came".
What a wonderful establishment that hardens back to a bygone day of when folks actually cared....Appetizers kicked as and the main dish was delish.....The complete dinner makes your selection process much easier.....as Retard Rae would say....Yum-0.
Traditional Italian American house on Richmond Avenue, Staten Island. Tin type ceiling, wall paintings, back bar and well trained waitstaff that knows how to make you feel like royalty. We were there for a light lunch and decided to share two appetizers, Calamari Friti and Melanzon Florentino. While we waited, they brought us a small bowl of olives and tomato garlic olive oil spread for the table bread. They were a good forespice for conversation and settling in. Both dishes arrived simultaneously, along with smaller dinner plates for dividing the great looking offerings. The Calamari was perfectly fried with a side dish of red sauce. It contained both rings and tentacles - just the way I love them. The Eggplant was light, tender and creamy from the fresh ricotta, and gently spiced by the generous pink sauce. Excellent. Casa Verde is definitely a place to return to for a full bore dinner, including vino. A worthy neighborhood kitchen.
Loved it. First time here. The owner was attentive, so was the staff. Food was exceptional. I would definitely go back. Prices were reasonable. Great local restaurant.
