What an amazing experience. The food was absolutely delicious. To my surprise I saw Sajoma sushi on the menu and hello !!!!! being from Sajoma had to try it. It was amazing!!!!! The steak was cooked perfectly, the sushi rice was on point , the plantain EL MADURO was perfect….. to top it off with that cream cheeses sauce was perfection. Then had the honey arugula salad every bite was perfection…. The candied pecan… the honey drizzle and the salad was perfection coated with dressing. To drink had the sangria. OHhhh my……. My husband had the mama Juana old fashion was hands down my new favorite old fashion . He accompanied with the Big Papi Hero…… hands down outstanding with that amazing guava sauce If you’re looking for good Dominican food, great ambience and good customer service come here. You won’t be disappointed

Just ate at Casita RD and had the best service! Anderson was our waiter and he was extremely attentive and had great recommendations. The food tasted really good and so did the drinks. The atmosphere is really nice. They play a lot of latin music. I’m definitely coming back!

We got here and instantly it felt like we were in the DR. The atmosphere is beautiful and good music. The food was delicious. Churassco was thick and flavorful. And the service was amazing. Anderson was very kind and welcoming and always checked up with the table. Great place!

We had an amazing experience here! The service was truly exceptional every single employee was top-notch and attentive, and they made sure we had everything we asked for. The food was absolutely incredible, a solid 10/10, full of flavor and clearly made with care. The atmosphere was just as great the music, the vibe, everything came together perfectly. We even had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who was such a sweet and welcoming lady. This is also where we spent New Year’s Eve, and it was a beautiful party such a fun and memorable way to bring in the New Year. It’s a small place in a beautiful neighborhood, but it delivers BIG on quality. You truly feel like you’ve been transported back to the Dominican Republic. Highly recommend to anyone looking for authentic Dominican food, great service, and a wonderful environment. We will definitely be back!

Perfect hidden gem located in a small shopping strip on Baldwin, Long Island. The food was amazing, had the perfect Dominican sazón added on every dish and the staff was super friendly and at the same time didn't rush you to finish up.

Casita RD was the perfect place to host our baby shower. Massiel, the owner, went above and beyond to make sure every detail felt special. Her staff was attentive, welcoming, and on point with everything we needed. Chef Papi’s food was incredible and our guests are still talking about how good everything tasted. The drinks were amazing, the service was unmatched, and the overall experience truly was the best. We are so grateful to the whole Casita RD team for making our celebration unforgettable.

We have been coming here for years and have never had a bad experience. Our waitress today, Isabel, was so friendly and personable and made us the best drinks. The vibe was great even and it always feels like we are hanging out with family. Food was delicious and came out quickly all the time. 10/10 experience!!

Back on August 22, 25 (as per usual random date nights), I have been wanted to come here. Upon arriving like 9ish, went in and it was a full house and the hostess asked if we had reservations (didnt know we needed but in advance everyone should do it!) which we didnt but I did put my name down. She told us it was about 30min wait which was fine. Time went by and we were called that our table was ready. The interior inside was beautiful!!! Not sure if its every night but there was someone singing and another playing their instrument. It was good vibes while we were looking at the menu and waiting for our waiter to come. Our waiter then approaches us and this menu had great options from food to drinks. So first we order our drinks the chinola picante and the flor de quisqueya (delicious!!!) and the presentation exquisite!!!!! For our appetizers, we ordered the chopped cheese empanadas and the crab croquette has Yuca Mash, Mozzarella, Pineapple Pico). Then ordered the Sajoma Sushi has Roll Skirt Steak, Bacon, Cream Cheese, Queso Frito, Pico de Gallo, Maduro and Jarabacoa Roll has Shrimp Tempura, Induveca, Queso Frito, Cream Cheese, Pineapple Pico, Maduro. From the food and drink presentation, everything was so tasteful!!! By the way, during our time there our waiter was so attentive and her service was top notch! Thank you! As we was finishing up our dinner we ordered one more round of drinks which was the chismosa and the sol y playa, yum! Thank you Casita RD for a great night, be back soon!

Visited Casita RD last night around 7 pm. I was greeted by a very elegant woman who escorted us to our table within a few minutes without reservation. Welcoming was very friendly. I was very impressed with the cozy atmosphere and the great service. Our waitress Elisabeth was very polite and informative about the menu. The drinks were amazing and the calamari was delicious. But, I was blown away by the Boca Chica Red Snapper which was will seasoned and cooked to perfection. The music was not too loud where you couldn’t hear yourself talking. Later in the evening the live band played some great tunes. This place isn’t for the urban Yankee baseball cap crowd. There’s a dress code “classy” . I will definitely recommend. Looking forward to trying other dishes. Definitely coming back again!

I've been here a few times in the past few weeks. This is a very put-together restaurant establishment. They check all my boxes with service being #1 (thank you Nicole). They have a very happy pleasant staff. Great food and nothing is salty or overpriced. I struggle with paying a decent price for their Pina Colada but I have news for you It is so refreshing and not sweet you will only be too happy to pay full price. It's a must to try their fresh limonada. I had the strawberry just yesterday and it was super refreshing. I have to post other pictures but please try the pollo guisado empanadas. They are sizable and extremely crispy and delicious with plenty of filling. This was a close 1st in the appetizers. I haven't tried the sampler yet. It's super-sized and can comfortably feed 4-6 people (to leave room for the other great items on the menu). I'm trying not to go 3 days a week but they reeled me in with those appetizers so it's been a bit tough. There is parking and it's very easy to get to. I hope you have the same great experience as I did. Reservations are a good idea as this is a cozy spot in size and seating with delicious food.

I want to express my deepest gratitude to Massiel and Chef Papi at Casita RD for hosting my Blossom & Brunch BSN celebration dinner—a private event for 70 guests that was nothing short of magical. It was an honor to celebrate such a personal milestone in their beautiful space, which already feels like home to us. We’ve partnered with them annually for Thanksgiving catering, and each time, they exceed expectations—but this dinner was truly next-level. From the moment we arrived, my family and friends were raving about the hospitality, the elegant setup, the delicious drinks, and the flawless service. Massiel went above and beyond—curating thoughtful menus, providing beautiful linens, and ensuring that every special dietary request was honored. As someone who is usually very anxious when planning events, it speaks volumes that I felt completely at ease. Massiel left me with no worries—I truly knew I was in good hands. And Chef Papi—per usual—crafted the most amazing dishes, the kind worth traveling miles for. We’ve followed him through his culinary ventures for years, and will continue to do so because he is simply exceptional. Every dish was bursting with flavor, perfectly prepared, and most importantly—we received zero complaints. Just joy, smiles, and full plates. Casita RD isn’t just a venue—it’s a home. A space where every guest is treated like family. Thank you, Massiel and Chef Papi, for making my special day unforgettable. Your talent, warmth, and professionalism are unmatched. May our business be forever blessed.

I went there December 2025. The place is a lot smaller than I thought it would be but its fine. The food was great. We ordered camarones al ajillo, churrasco chimichurri + lobster, mofongo de chicharron, and grilled chicken. For desert we had the tres leches which was delicious. The drinks were good. We had a few rounds of espresso martini and old fashion. The problem was one the waitress even though telling her twice brought the waters after the drinks and foods were brought out and everyone was eating. The music was wayyy to loud. A restaurant or a club, I totally get it if it was during a tipico or a sunday brunch but it was not. There werent even people dancing. The waitress couldnt hear anyone when speaking to her, we couldn't hear her. It was hard to speak to our table due to the very loud music. Apple watch kept saying the environment was too loud. There needs to be a comfortable medium. We also waited 20+ minutes for our payment to be picked up to pay. I would definitely go again because the food was good.

A solid 3.5-4 for me... Coming in from the city and abuelo decided he was in the mood for some food from home aka DR so looked up the closest one with great reviews in the direction we were headed and Casita came in as top 3 in the Baldwin/Freeport area. Owned by a head chef husband and hostess foh manager wife team, this spot has been around since 2022 from what we were told. It was nicely packed when we arrived yet they were able to accommodate our party of 3 with no reservation. Menu has Domican dishes but also offers... sushi and penne a la vodka?... I'm not a big fan of fusion spots so we stuck to what we came in for. Ambiance is lively and loud, definitely difficult to speak to the person across from you. The seating is... interesting. They have a section of the restaurant where its couches facing each other with a table between them. Unless you are on the taller side, table height gets much higher once you plop down on these plushy couches. Which makes for an uncomfortable position to sit and eat. Our waitress must had be been new as we had to say our orders several times and she still came back to us almost combative about the order and didn't when we said please make it a rolling service. However the young man who brought our drinks, our food and checked in on us throughout the night was fantastic! And deserves a raise. Food: Ordered the app 3 varieties of mofongito: Mofongo part was very bland and dry and the toppings weren't well seasoned except for the chicken one. The chicharrom did have a nice crunch to it and I'm on the fence on the very thin not plentiful bechamel sauce that was on top of each as it's not what I'm used to seeing on Mofongo. Also had the Picasita! A mountain of fried goodness, great to share amongst 4+ diners. Great selection of fried meats, yucca, tostones, garlicky shrimp (which would have been so much better on the mofongitos) and cheese Well worth the price tag! But please offer up a little more variety in your dipping sauces please like a wasakaka or mojo please! The stewed oxtails were fall off the bone and not stringy. Rice and beans that came with it were delicious too. Location has ample parking but would suggest a reservation especially on the weekends. We will give this place another try when in the area.

My son brought me here doe My birthday day. I love the ambiance and vibe . It was very low key classy. The staff were very attentive and the food was delicious. I wasn’t to thrilled with the drinks, they were nice and strong but it didn’t get the mango or Coconut taste.
