Casanova Brooklyn Reviews
Brooklyn’s premiere pizzeria. Casanova never disappoints. The atmosphere feels authentically Brooklyn, and the staff are friendly and welcoming every time I visit. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick slice or sitting down for a full meal, this place truly stands out as one of the best pizza spots around. Highly recommend!
Love that they are open again. The food and service are even better (and they were great before).
Some of the best pizza I’ve had and great service. Will be coming back weekly from now on.
Me and my family celebrated November birthdays.. it was great. 22 family members were in total and the restaurant had awesome hospitality.. Samantha our waitress was awesome..
Owner and his staff are polite and helpful. The restaurant was very clean. My family enjoy the service. Very affordable and food very fresh. We definitely will come back again. We will pass the information to come experience the comfortable aspectabl.
We tried a little bit of everything and every single dish blew us away. The pizza had the perfect balance — light, crispy, and beautifully charred, with toppings that tasted incredibly fresh. The antipasto board was generous and packed with flavor, and the croquettes were golden, creamy, and addictive. Our pasta was cooked perfectly and tasted like true homemade Italian comfort — rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. And the tiramisu… honestly one of the best I’ve ever had. On top of all that, the ambiance was warm and welcoming, and the service made us feel like family. You can tell this restaurant takes pride in every plate they serve. A phenomenal addition to the neighborhood — we’ll be back again and again! Highly recommend. 🍝🍷✨
I am a NYer whose been going to top end family style italian restaurants since a young boy. The F&Js the Pines in the Bronx, Carmine's in Manhattan, and can't forget Don Peppe's in Howard Beach and that being said Casanovas isn't quite "wow" on the taste side as those or quite as fancy. But that being said the food was very good, dishes nice size, staff really inviting, and ambiance very comfortable. They have a very casual front area and a very nice done dining area in the back. What takes this place over the top is the pricing. I go to the others for a meal by my lonesome and I'm leaving $50 or more on the table. Maybe not quite that at the Pines but close. Here a get a really good meal, very good service, and leave with money to spare. Its my new go to several nights a week, and the others every few weeks. Thanks for a good meal guys!
Some of the best Sicilian slices I’ve had. They have these square slices with marinara and vodka sauce too!
Opened back up after being closed and the Pizza was delicious! The staff is super friendly, one of the best unknown gems in all of Greenpoint.
Stopped by before a concert for some food, excellent mini personal pizza, and garlic knots. Price was incredible for the amount of food received, and service was also really great. Very polite staff, we had such a great experience that after the show we decided to stop by again, now every time we go to St Vitus we've decided this will be our “go to” to eat.
🍝𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗖𝗔𝗦𝗔𝗡𝗢𝗩𝗔'𝗦 ... definitely a deliciously, people filled good time tonight at the "new" Casanova's! The best part was the whole place talking across 5 different tables, laughing, reminiscing. All neighborhood people - from midi-gahn to gavone. It was Wonderful! I also got to have my tripe - and YES Thomas Panepinto they make it with patayta's & peas! It was like butter and the flavor was like my father's. The gol-uh-mod actually had tentacles instead of all pre frozen rings. I gotta tell-ya, I'd match it against any neighborhood gol-uh-mod! The gravy was wonderfully light and sweet marinara like. The Broccoli rabe tender as the gol-uh-mod with delicious neighborhood flavor. The owner Tony's wife prepared everything from the eggplant copanata and this very surprising sweet, cold pomodoro like mixture and olive oil they brought out for the "warm-up" - to the very homemade version of their Tiramisu... We went basic grilled chicken parm and regular chicken cutlet parm with macaroni's just to test it out. Nice portions. No surprises and very enjoyable. Tony sat and was broken-English BS'ing with us and everyone else in the joint all night. The service was good. The prices were right. We had a great night of food and people. I'm so happy they're back! More pics in comments...
In general, I really liked the atmosphere and decor of this place. It was a little noisy at times because of the nearby road, but its a great place for a romantic dinner. I'm giving 4 stars because the food was OK, but not great. It was a little bit pricey compared to other restaurants in the area and the pizza we had was dull and lacking in flavor. There is, however, a wide range of wine options available for a decent price. The tiramisu was divine.
The menu is on the counter, and it's a bit inconvenient to read the list of ingredients without pictures. For some reason, the staff was not friendly to me, when my order was ready I could not understand where the payment terminal was and I was rudely told that I had to pay before leaving. It turned out that the terminal was far behind the counter and I had to give my phone to the staff so that they could bring it and scan it. The pizza is not bad, but for me, the price is too high for such a service
I used to come here all the time and was excited they opened again. Unfortunately, the pizza was bad, couldnt even get myself to finish the slice. I gave them another chance again, but I can't say I'll ever go back. Bummer.
Loved this place but it appears to be out of business. The review here is not for the food, but for the fact that I placed an order and wasted a night, trying to get food for my family and ended up having to scramble to find a last-minute dinner before my toddlers bedtime. Wish I would’ve seen the latest reviews stating that whatjust happened to me, had happened to them; placed a pick up order online, walked over and saw a sign saying the restaurant was closed. Just “closed” — No information about whether this is temporary or permanent. Although they took themselves off of GrubHub, they’re still on other food service websites, including Chow now which is where I placed my order. If you’re out of business, that’s too bad because I really liked your food but please just tell people thank you.
