Consistently fantastic. Love this place. Bruschetta, Caesar salad and every pasta I've tried is amazing. Thanks chef Alex!

On Tuesday, August 13th, my husband and I and another couple attended your restaurant for a celebration of three birthdays and anniversaries for both couples. We had tried to bring them to your restaurant before, but couldn't get dinner reservations. We guaranteed them they would love it! After we were seated there was a bit of good natured banter with our server. We placed our orders which included an order of bruschetta which our friend asked to be put on his bill. He said this twice. We were told each meal came with a pasta - some had the entree on top of the pasta (if the sauce suited the meal), some had the pasta on the side (if the tomato sauce on the pasta did not particularly suit the dish.) Three of us had the same meal, which had the pasta on the side. We were brought one small bowl of pasta for the three of us to share. But with no side plate we had to put the pasta with tomato sauce onto the sauce on our plates, which would seem to defeat the purpose of the separate serving. The food was beautifully presented, and was very delicious. We had an enjoyable evening until we were asked about dessert. We asked to see a menu, were told there was nothing printed, and then the young lady (not our original waitress) listed a few, but didn't seem sure, and seemed decidedly distracted. A few minutes later, another different server asked us the same thing; she listed the desserts, never been made eye contact, she was that distracted. We gave her our dessert choices, when all of a sudden there was a flurry of activity. The milk crates that had been marking off the parking spots directly in front of the restaurant were removed, and almost immediately four very expensive cars pulled up. The eight occupants were ushered into the restaurant as if they were royalty, and that is when our table might as well have disappeared! We waiting a very long time for our dessert to be served - slice of cake and a gelato. And we waited and waited. Meanwhile we had not seen our original server again. Finally our dining companion went into the restaurant; when he could not find our original server, and the server who had taken our dessert order was busy with the new, much fawned over customers, as were many other servers, he asked the chef if there were two desserts on order. The chef said something about them being brought out. After a bit more of a wait, the gelato in its Eva's plastic container - not even dished up - and the cake were brought out. It appeared the gelato had been out for some time as it was quite soft. Then came the wait for our bills. When we had waited long enough, my husband went into the restaurant, found our original server and asked her to bring our bills, at which point she asked if she could just split the bill down the middle. At this point I would point out that our friends ordered three glasses of wine (total). My husband and I did not drink. One of them also had a more expensive dinner, and their dessert was more expensive. Plus the bruschetta they had asked to be put on their bill. My husband could see how flustered the staff seemed to be over the new arrivals......or something! He said yes. Apparently my husband is a nicer person than I am. I would not have agreed. Now, the couple we were with have been our friends for over 50 years. We have no problem paying more for them. That is not the issue. We had started the evening assured it would be good, and it was, to a point. And then it went downhill. I don't know who the new customers were, nor do I care, but I'm going to guess there was money involved. (I do know they're inconsiderate, as I heard they were more than an hour late for their reservation, yet still, they were afforded much ado!) Our table spent ~$300 for our evening. Perhaps not a lot for the car drivers, but it is for us. We were celebrating our special occasions, so we splurged. But we did not anticipate being treated so poorly. It really coloured our experience and we will think twice about returning. You can be sure our experience will be shared with friends who come to, or are considering coming to, your restaurant! read more

Best Italian food in Manitoba! The owner/chef is incredible, I love his bolognese and the Penne a La Russa. Service is great too!

Always full, make a reservation. This time we had veal shank, with a wonderful wine sauce. Very fine pastas. Thursday's are seafood nights (which I haven't tried). Brochettas as an appetizer are outstanding. Good value wine list. read more

First time at Casa Bianca in Winnipeg Beach.Food was fantastic.Service was Great .Lovely place for our Anniversary .Will be coming back !

After many years of enjoying Casa Bianca two or three times a summer, it will no longer be a "go to" place for us, nor will we any longer recommend it. We were so pleased to have a table outside to celebrate my husband's birthday with our daughter who was visiting from out of town. The bus boy was so friendly and attentive, as was the server. Alex usually makes my husband a spaghetti and tomato sauce dish (not too spicy) with shrimp. Always delicious! This time one of the specials was spaghetti bolognese. My husband decided he would try that and asked if he could have some shrimp with that. The server came back to say shrimp did not come with that special. Fine, although wondering why he couldn't have a side of shrimp. We left it at that. A few minutes later, Alex came onto the terrace from the kitchen to once again inform us that the special did not come with shrimp. Not a hello or an offer of a side dish of shrimp but a reprimand!! We were all quite taken aback. We should have paid for the wine and left! The fact my daughter fell out of a broken plastic chair onto the deck was the icing on the cake. We all have our bad days, but after having left a message, an apology to two of his long time senior customers would have been appreciated. read more

I don't know what happened with the other two reviews, but Casa Bianca is a Winnipeg Beach gem, with many diners driving out from the city (Winnipeg) to eat there during the summer. We've gone every year and the food has always been excellent. Their appetizer of escargot on portabello mushrooms is wonderful, and the specials are excellent. Service has always been very good with the servers knowledgeable about each dish and able to answer questions or make suggestions. Reservations are recommended because it is a very small restaurant (about a dozen tables, tops) and it is always busy. The only thing we've found is that it can get quite noisy with larger groups present. But that's a sign that they're enjoying their meal and each other's company, so it's all good. We go every year on our anniversary, and are looking forward to it again this year. read more

Save your hard earned money and go get a pizza or burger instead. This place was extremely over priced for the disgusting quality of food. Not to mention the pitiful, family style "shared" portions. $25.00 for 1 shrimp, 1 brucetta, and a table spoon of salad. Then an added expense of $45 for a small strip of over cooked salmon with a cold white sauce dribbled on the plate. And instead of dishing pasta on our plates as should be, nearly after everyone was done their food they bring out a bowl of mushy pasta covered in ragu. With added garlic and oil. Which drenched everything we were served. Horrible horrible place to dine. The atmosphere was dingy and dirty. Though our server was quite nice and did her job well. Oh and I didn't mention you are required to leave an 18% gratituity! I only give it a star because of the serving staff. The chef needs to retire. Not only does he lack talent in the food industry but he was not professional to his staff or custom read more

Casa Bianca Cafe - a plate of shrimp with a side salad - Italian Near Me - Winnipeg Beach, Manitoba

This restaurant is absolutely horrendous. The food was microwaved at best, I had the so called veal with mushroom and it was microwaved and there was no mushroom gravy or sauce on it. Pasta was overcooked and covered in bottle sauce, and cold. The vegetables were overcooked but arrived cold on the plate. Do not believe the pictures on the webpages. All the food was oily and garlic, absolutely nothing was as it was portrayed in any pictures. An appetizer of one shrimp, a tablespoon of salad and a half piece of bruschetta was 25 $. Plus a mandatory 18% gratuity! Really! I believe I should be able to pay the gratuity I feel the food and service was worth, not forced to pay. Nothing is as it shows. Very overpriced, horrendous food, poor atmosphere, dollar store tablecloths, no wheelchair access, The so called chef is really a non qualified chef. That was not Italian food. If I wanted to have a bowl of oil and garlic I would have stayed home. Save your money and go somewhere else. read more
