Had a great meal tonight at Casa Antica. We enjoyed everything from the room to my new favorite server Gino. Started with the Arancini one had a cream sauce filled with cheese and the other had meat and peas and a good marinara. The for our entrees we decided to just go with pasta. I had the Sicilian Carbonara and my wife went with the Gnocchi pasta al Pesto. My pasta was prepared perfectly al dente and the sauce was quite flavorful full of mushrooms, peas, prosciutto and creamy Parmesan sauce. Highly recommend. My first generation Italian wife said that the gnocchi was tender and the pesto was one of the very best and freshest she has had. The service truly was amazing highlighted by Gino as he kept our meal at the perfect pace. We will be back and asking for Gino! Sorry we were so hungry forgot to takes pics! Will do so next time. read more

Been here before no issues. This time we went and we ordered and they got everything wrong. Ordered a drink when we received food and didn't get it until the check was delivered. It may have been our servers first couple of times but an establishment like this and their prices the service should be top notch. Someone who may have been the owner came in and started cutting/moving the chicken cutlet off of the bolognese (that had cheese on it when we ordered no cheese) and we told him we ordered no cheese and proceeded to just move it around the plate instead of fixing the issue. Ordered a pizza w no soppressata and added sausage instead and it came with both and they delivered it to us and then took it to another table after realizing it was the wrong table they delivered it to. Again love the place but this instance wasn't a good one. read more

When you walk into Casa Antica, well you feel like you are walking your grandmas home. It smells amazing and you are always greeted with a warm, friendly smile. We started with drinks then burrata cheese app and the grilled octopus special. They were both delicious. My husband and I both ordered specials. I got the Ahi tuna and he ordered the Chilean sea bass. So much delicious food!! Thank you for a wonderful evening. read more

We used to dine at Casa Antica quite often. We had dinner there recently. The experience was really poor. Over our last few dinners we noticed the prices went UP, and the quality went down. Unfortunately, like many restaurants, over time they departed from what made them successful. Won't go there anymore. read more

Casa Antica is nestled in charming Lewiston with in and outdoor dining. We enjoyed octopus which is one of my faves and arancini appetizers which is a house speciality. Entrees included Chicken Parm, Alaska Halibut and Chicken Milanese. My Halibut was cooked to perfection. Generous portions to take home. Ask for Michael, our waiter was most accommodating. Enjoy the summer at Casa Antica. Buon Appetito. read more

It was a pleasant night sitting outside on a busy Lewiston Saturday evening. I loved that they had Peroni on tap. We ordered the Caprese and the tomatoes were awful. For our main courses we had the Pappardelle Bolognese and the Zuppa di Pesce. The Bolognese was a hit and the Zuppa was a bust. It was great sitting outside on their patio. Unfortunately we had a newer waitress who screwed up some of the orders. I thought it was way overpriced, especially the Zuppa,, which lacked flavor and not much seafood for the price. read more

I surprised my husband on a Saturday evening in July for a nice birthday dinner at Casa Antica! Wow were we pleasantly surprised. I got the chicken Parmesan and I highly recommend it! The chicken was perfectly crispy and so flavorful, topped with the thickest layer of mozzarella cheese I have ever had on a chicken parm! To make it even better, our lovely waiter brought out this amazing spread of bread and dips! It was a great touch and the bread and dips were so good that it left me wanting more! I highly recommend checking out this lovely place in the quaint town of Lewiston! The patio was lovely for a warm July night, and the wait staff were nothing but wonderful, exceptional service, and very attentive to all our needs! We will definitely be returning here again for another amazing dining experience! read more

Let me just start out by saying this place is a hidden gem in WNY in the quaint little town of Lewiston! My wife and I decided to try Casa Antica out for my birthday and boy are we both glad we did! We were sat out on the beautiful patio and enjoyed the nice summer weather ordering drinks and the stuffed banana peppers! Highly recommend these as the sauce on them was amazing! My wife ordered the chicken parm and I orders the veal parm! Both were cooked to perfection- so crispy and paired perfectly with the house sauce and penne. The service we experienced was also two thumbs up! Definitely recommend this quaint little spot and will be coming back!!! read more

I walked in as soon as the doors opened as I was in the area for the afternoon. This was recommended to me by a local. I sat down and was greeted by a friendly staff. It's a fairly standard Italian restaurant set up so nothing to write about in terms of decor. After a huge specials menu I chose the octopus special as I tend to always try octopus when I travel. It was good. Not the best I have ever had but the octopus had good flavor to it. For my taste there was too much celery under the octopus. My main course was penne vodka and they have homemade pasta but I would say the penne was very good. Good texture and mouth feel but the shrimp I got with it wasn't very flavorful. The sauce was good but not the best I have ever had. This is a good spot for local Italian. Good but not exceptional. The staff makes the experience much more enjoyable. read more

Wow! We had reservations but showed up earlier than expected. However, we were seated immediately. We didn't get service immediately since the staff was in a meeting with the chef. The owner came around to check on the customers. The food is amazing!!!! So many flavors and delicious mixtures. Everything we ate was fantastic from the bread to the appetizer to the meal and drinks. Very relaxing meal on the patio. Was a cool breeze and plenty of shade. Clearly there are a lot of regulars that makes it feel more at home. Definitely would return, my first time but the company I was w had been prior. read more

This place is good.... It could be fantastic. The menu is very authentic and has great options. The servers are friendly and can answer all your questions, even the ones in training (Christina). The only problem was, and it was a problem from start to finish... we did not have ONE, not even ONE hot dish served to us. Which is surprising considering our food came out quicker than we could even drink our cocktails. I really want to come back here, but I have been told my the locals that this is an ongoing problem. I'll choose not to spend hundreds of dollars on a dinner for 2 that is cold in the middle.... Well... maybe lukewarm(I'll be nice). Now the tiramisu was amazing cold. Seriously fantastic dessert! read more

I popped into this Lewiston staple for dinner with a large group on a Friday night, we thought we had reservations but it turns out we did not (our mistake not theirs) and they were able to seat us outside anyhow. They serve pretty standard Italian fare here, we had rice balls, Caesar salad, fettuccine in red sauce, and meatballs. The meatballs had a touch of spice to it, a very nice touch for me but something to be aware of. Some other food from the group included pizza and lots of pasta, everyone seemed satisfied and there were no mistakes or complaints. We had one couple split their check with the rest on one bill, and we paid using a paper gift card, cash, and two cards. They were able to execute this properly which isn't always the case. Overall nice place for a nice Italian dinner, and apparently there's a basement bar but it was closed on this visit. Next time! read more

Food, service beautiful outdoor edition and waitress , owner all excellent ! Can't say enough about them .

Best feature here, we thought, was the outdoor seating. Really nice to have a drink or a meal while seeing the folks walking by on the main drag of charming Lewiston. Really nice to be on the patio... until it rained and the awning started to drip rain onto our table! The sweet server promptly moved us indoors as no other "dry" tables were available. Indoors felt stuffy. Better to be eating dry than rain soaked, I guess. The food ... well it was okay but not wow. The prices were wow, on the other hand. Frankly, the prices did not match the quality of the food. I've had tastier Italian at other restaurants in Western New York. The linguine with clams was lacking flavor, rather bland. But plenty of clams! My friends rigatoni vodka was pretty tasty, more flavorful. Our other friend tried the rigatoni Norma with sautéed eggplant, basil and ricotta cheese. His was also not bad. Each of these entrees were $19.00 - on the lower end of the menu for sure. There were pricier choices, we opted for the lower end choices. With several alcoholic drinks, an entree each and tip for our waitress, we didn't want to spend more than $100 for dinner. We were a bit over our "budget" :) And we didn't order any dessert. Again, the patio stands out! Not sure I'd have dinner again here. Maybe nice for a casual drink or dessert though. read more

Wow!! Went here for dinner last week for the first time to celebrate my son's graduation. We had reserved a table outside but the weather didn't cooperate so we were inside. Service was very good. Casual but elevated ambience. The food was simply outstanding. The complimentary bread and olive oils were amazing. We shared calamari, arancini, and caprese salad appetizers. All were very very good. Entrees included some specials, a scallop dish, a salmon dish, pasta bolognese. Everyone loved their meals. Flavors are incredible. Fresh and delicious. Not one complaint!! Only suggestion..,. The piped in music was the same few songs played on a loop.., over and over... time to Update!!! read more

Great little space and really good appetizers. Definitely get rice ball (can't remember the actual name) they're worth it. Kind of wish we hadn't ordered the main dish and skipped to dessert as the portions are enormous and just too much. I had gnocchi it was ok, but the veal dish my husband had was really good. read more

I decided come to this restaurant for my birthday in November. I called the day before and was happy to find that they could take a last minute reservation. My original dinner plans were canceled in Buffalo due to Covid19 restrictions and it was such a relief to get a reservation closer to home. Upon our arrival we walked in from the vestibule and we were greeted by the hostess who seemed annoyed at our presence and us go back out into the vestibule so that she could ask me if I had a reservation. When I confirmed that we did she then reached for a menu and walked back inside and sat us at a table right at the door we'd just walked through seconds ago. She was a bit curt and it just rubbed me the wrong way. Everything else from that point was alright. Our server was nice and attentive. And everything was smooth. We shared the rice balls, which are my absolute favorite and stuffed peppers to start. I've been to Casa many times but my boyfriend has not and I enjoyed watching him try something new. I could eat those rice balls everyday. He loved them too. He liked the one stuffed with spinach and cream sauce more but said he would gladly get them both again. The banana peppers were awesome as well. That salami is such a game changer!! For dinner I had the rigatoni vodka with sausage and my boyfriend had the fish. It was one of the specials for the evening and not on the main menu. He really enjoyed it! He was shocked at how much food he got. We were both quite satisfied. We had so much food that we ended up taking food home a little of everything. It was great the next day. Despite having so many limitations amid the pandemic this was a nice birthday dinner and I'm glad we went. read more

We came here last weekend to meet my husband's aunt and uncle for dinner. We were able to get a reservation for 6:45pm when we called at 3:30pm which gave me pause - it's literally impossible to get a reservation at any decent restaurant in the Buffalo area without calling at least a few days in advance. Plus, the reviews appeared less than favorable, so I really wasn't looking forward to making the 50 min drive there at all. But, we had already committed to going and our aunt and uncle highly recommended it, so there we went. The complimentary bread basket was nice - there was a mixture of breads and it also came with a plate of various toppings such as olive tapenade and something with eggplants, I think. For apps, we got the stuffed banana peppers and the lamb lollipops. The peppers were small but tasty, and decorated with some kind of a spring mix salad. The lamb chops was also covered with a pile of spring mix as well as what looked like shoestring breaded fried onions? I'm not sure - I didn't try them. What was disappointing and questionable was that 1 of the 4 lamb lollipops was just a piece of bone with no meat on it whatsoever, it looked like the bone with the meat broke off and disappeared somehow - but how did the person plating it not notice that? Or were they hoping that we'd be so distracted with all the other random stuff on the plate that we wouldn't notice? Anyway, they fixed it by sending us 2 more lollipops, but still - not a great first impression. For entrees, I got the clams linguine with white sauce, my husband got the gnocchi with pesto, and our aunt and uncle got the seafood scampi special (lightly breaded lobster, shrimp, and scallops with fettuccine and some kind of white sauce). My clams linguine was good - a little salty than I'd like but that wasn't an issue. What was an issue though was that i consistently bit into sand as I chewed on the clams. I believe everyone else enjoyed their dinners. For dessert, I got the tiramisu with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and our aunt/uncle got the cannoli. The cannoli came with the ice cream instead of the tiramisu, but they fixed it by getting me a side of the vanilla ice cream. All in all, I did not enjoy the experience. There was a table next to us who were on their way out and ran into a large group of people (6-8 people) that were coming in for dinner, so they spent about 30 minutes hovering around that table and ours, standing around chit chatting very loudly and bumping into us constantly. Our server seemed to know them all personally and did not seem to care that it was disturbing our dining experience. She was also not very attentive most of the night and only came around to deliver our food, and tended to forget/delay certain things. She also wrapped all of our leftovers together in a single bag, and didn't seem to want to fix it so we just said we would figure it out. Luckily our aunt travels with reusable bags in her purse now that single-use plastic bags are banned in NYS, so we ripped open the tightly double knotted plastic bag and dug out her leftovers for her to take home. For the amount of money we spent on this dinner ($320), it was not the experience I expected whatsoever. It's safe to say that I will not be returning. read more

We actually had reservations elsewhere but happened upon this bustling place and were pleasantly surprised to be able to be seated right away. They had a nice courtyard which was understandably full so we ate inside. Started with a bottle of wine, followed by delicious garlic bread and bread with red sauce. We dined on gnocchi with pesto, fettuccine bolognese, and house specials stuffed veal chop and Chilean sea bass. No room for dessert. Everything was hot, delicious and plentiful. We welcome an opportunity to return, next time we are in the area. Enjoy! read more

Everything was so good. It was a Wednesday around 530 and we had the place to ourselves. Our server was great. They give you a nice bread tray with some dips. The rice balls had 2 different types. Both were very good. The stuffed peppers had meat and cheese. They were kinda spicy but tasted amazing. I had the chicken Milanese and it did not disappoint. All the ingredients so fresh. My fiancé loved his steak. I snuck a bite and it melted in my mouth. Definitely worth the $75. Highly recommend. read more

Ummm... What is going on Casa Antica?!? I used to actually recommend this restaurant to people and say it was one of my favorite date spots (previous 5 star review). When covid hit we still supported them, but started ordering carry out. At first it was the same quality and portions. This Saturday night 5/1/21 I ordered the $55.00 dinner plate "special" and at the end of the meal I was unsatisfied and still hungry! There was like half a cup of pasta underneath the lobster and I just DO NOT understand why you would short a customer pasta on a $55 dinner plate. I don't mind paying more for quality, but I will NOT be back if your portion sizes stay this way. This is inexcusable and you need to do a LOT better. Again, I paid $55 for my dinner and was still hungry after, and I'm just a small woman. The other person ordered a dinner and was also hungry after due to the small portion sizes. Maybe you guys should become a brunch place if you can't deliver on dinner. Brunch portions seem to be your thing now. Either way, taking you off my list of places I recommend to people. UGH so disappointing. read more
