I wouldn’t be writing this review if the manager who I approached totally ignored me and kept looking at his phone while I was explaining my not so good meal. The Manager needs a class in Customer Service . Casssarino Italian Restaurant is a favorite of ours & we will go back even though the Manger is not Customer Service friendly. We had dinner there on 11/26/25 at 4:45. Sincerely Phil

First the food is always amazing...it looks spectacular, and tastes as even better than it looks! The staff is always attentive and does their best to make sure your dining experience is perfect.

I rarely write reviews but this place was perfect in every way. The setting is great, the city streets all done up for Christmas. Food 100%, drinks 100% and service (Emil) 150%. We will be back soon.
