The story of Casa Nuova is the story of Antonio and Maria. Antonio’s journey begins in Cuba leaving days before the blockade and ultimately landing in Little Italy in NYC. Antonio quickly rose through the apprentice system becoming a master baker and chef. Maria’s family immigrated from Cuba to Chicago in 1966 opening their own family restaurant. Fate brought the two together in Atlanta on a blind date. At Casa Nuova the food you’re enjoying, comes from the Fundora family farm, just steps away from your table. We are committed to cultivating and sourcing the best possible ingredients.
“True Italians that own and operate this wonderful restaurant. They grow some of their vegetables, knowing this you feel they really care about the quality they serve. Our waiter was Juan Carlos and I went with his recommendation for my entrée. We had stuffed mushrooms and yellow squash soup as appetizers. We chose the salmon special and scampi alls casa nouveau and everything was delicious down to the garlic bread. We brought our crème brûlée cheesecake home for later. We received flowers as we were leaving, felt so special. We made reservations, arrived a few minutes early and we were seated immediately.”
“This place is like getting a giant hug from your mama! You can tell it's a good place when people are happy to be there. They treat you like family and see to your every need. Don't forget, they try to stuff you with food and make sure there is more than enough bread. Caution, don't get too full on the bread cuz the food is fantastic. We started with appetizers such as Mozzarella and Calamari. The Calamari was so tasty! We enjoyed the Ravioli, Fettuccine Alfredo, and Lasagna Al Forno. I have never felt so cared for and comfortable at a restaurant like I have at Casa Nuova.”
“If you're looking for a true taste of Italy paired with outstanding southern hospitality, look no further than this gem of a restaurant! Tonight, we rang in the New Year with their 5-course special, and once again, it exceeded all expectations. From the very first course, every dish exuded authentic Italian flavors that are clearly crafted with both tradition and creativity. They graciously accommodated my request to substitute the entrée with my favorite fish (Grouper), perfectly cooked in a delicate white wine sauce. It was absolutely delicious! Maria and her staff always elevate the dining experience with genuinely friendly and attentive service, making you feel like family from the moment you walk in. The ambiance is warm, cozy, and always just right for any occasion. This has become our go-to spot whenever we have family and friends visiting. We can always count on an amazing meal, impeccable service, and an authentic Italian dining experience. Highly recommended!”
“Our first time here and tonight might have been the best Italian dinner I’ve had since I moved to Atlanta from New York. The food excellent (order the pescatore, the chicken Limone, the linguini pesto, the chicken piccata..), all 10 of us— not one bad meal— everyone raving. The atmosphere electric- every table full— everyone having a great time. The service excellent. Loved every minute. We will be back.”
“I was hesitant about coming here because of the mixed reviews, however I’m really glad I came in. Upon arrival it was packed (on a Monday!!!) so reservations are highly recommended. I sat at the bar which had 2 available seats. My bartender Tod was wonderful. They offered complimentary garlic bread, which was soft, lightly toasted, with pieces of garlic. They have weekly specials which are great considering today’s economy. I started off with the fried calamari and it was lightly fried. I would recommend the calamari as a starter. I ordered the tortellini in cream sauce and it’s a nice combo together. I would have preferred the tortellini sauce to be a little heavier, however that’s a personal preference of mine. My food was prepared relatively quickly, so no long wait times. Despite how busy it was I still felt attended to. The portion size was great and I enjoyed my meal. For dessert I really enjoyed the Lemon cake. It was very light and it wasn’t sweet. The lemon flavor wasn’t overpowering. I didn’t get a chance to personally meet the infamous Maria, however I did see her in passing ensuring every table was happy. Todd ensured that I had a positive experience. It’s nice to see when the owner is receptive to costumer feedback and genuinely cares about costumer satisfaction.”
