The food is delicious and the service is top notch. We came here for a party and ate buffet style. The calamari is perfectly cooked, no chewiness!!! The eggplant rollatini and meatballs were delicious. The salmon was really good. The only thing I didn't like was the beef dish. It was overcooked but that may have been just the buffet style. The drinks were good too. All in all we had a great time and ate way too much. read more

We spent Mother's Day at Casa Rina for the first time. It was fabulous! We started off with a basket full of croissants bagels, smoked salmon, and muffins, etc. then we moved onto French toast, pancakes, bacon, sausage, and then lunch began! We got penne vodka, eggplant, rotini, sirloin with mushrooms, broiled, salmon, and a lemon chicken. we ended this delicious meal with a variety of desserts ranging from tiramisu to cannolis to red velvet cake and Italian cookies. Our waiter was really funny and entertaining. We all had a great time and enjoyed everything. read more

Another lovely dinner with the ENTIRE family. We came on Mother's Day for dinner and sat in a quiet off-shoot room. They had a special menu with loads of appetizers and of course, breads! I still love the fried calamari the best!! I had the giant shrimp oreganata over linguine. It was fine. The seafood ravioli (shrimp and crab) looked really good. After dinner there was an assortment of little Italian desserts. The plate was empty so everyone must've been happy. Again, super-Old Skool, great service. read more

Went here for a pre-Mothers Day brunch. Place is very old school, with the walls covered in pics of Sinatra, Marilyn, and various characters in Scorsese and Coppola films. My chicken francese was okay -- a bit too salty but passable. The restaurant was hosting two separate functions, with our table very close to one which featured a DJ, so every tine the doors opened we caught a blast of loud music. This happened repeatedly throughout our meal. I did see other seating areas and am unclear as to why we were placed so close to the loud function. That said, the men's room does feature a flatscreen just above the urinal (see pic) so I was able to watch the Yankees getting crushed as I did my business. read more

I have been coordinating parties at Casarina's since 2021. Since the new owners took over, they have been extremely rude and obnoxious. The old owner over a year ago quoted me one price with them. Then a month ago I called and found out he sold, however, the new owner told me as a courtesy they would honor the price. Now 5 days before my party they denied everything and told me it wasn't true and raised my prices. Poor business ethics. Poor management. I spoke to the new owner Blair Krasnoqi who was rude. I told him that I have had many parties there and he flat out told me he didn't care. He was trying to over charge me for the alcohol package at $25/hour/person. On the new menu it clearly states $20/person unlimited as of December 2, 2024. When I told him, I am a long standing customer and would continue to have parties there including a retirement party in the next couple months he told me please don't Happy Holidays and slammed the phone down. The old owner, Tommy was a gem to work with. What a shame. He built up this business and now the new owner is destroying it. He will be losing my business and I wish I can give him negative stars. If you're thinking about having a party there don't, "Happy Holidays". read more

The service was spot on and we had two of the best steaks that I have had in a long time. Do yourselves a favor and go to The Casa Rina and give them a try. You will not be disappointed.

This place my aunt picked to celebrate my other aunts birthday for a luncheon. Driving up the taconic parkway to get here was magical such beautiful fall foilage so i knew it was going to be a good day! I have been to Casa Rina numerous times each one for different family occassions for as long as i can remember. So coming here for something casual was nice. Plenty of options for family style. Fried calamari, eggplant were just some of my favorites. i loved the twin pork chops and the risotto the pumpkin pie martini was strong read more

Here's my impressions of Casa Rina. The dark paneling on the walls is your tipoff that it's about as old school Italian as you can get. The sound system will fill your ears with the classic sounds of Dean Martin (That's Amore), Tony Bennet, Frank Sinatra, and Bing Crosby. I also heard Fly Me to The Moon and Cheek to Cheek. I doubt you will hear any Brittney Spears or Rap here. Photos on the walls show you images of the same entertainers you hear over the speakers Photos on the men's room walls are of the cast of Goodfellas- Paulie and Jimmy and Tommy and Henry. The staff I interacted with were 100% professional and courteous and helpful. I needed some help hooking up my laptop to their monitor for a presentation and the dapper young man who helped me was terrific. The pricing there was outrageous, and I mean that in the best sense of the word. Our group ordered from the early bird menu and I still can't believe the value. Check this out: 1) one hour of open bar, 2) appetizers at the table of bread, cheese cubes, pepperoncini, black olives, and diced tomato bruschetta, 3) choice of ten appetizers, 4) choice of eleven entrees, 5) choice of four desserts all for under $35. Mind you, this is Westchester County and not Arkansas, and 6) the food was excellent. I went for the fried calamari & hot peppers appetizer and it was delicious. The squid was fried to a golden brown and had none of the rubbery features you sometimes get. Oh, and the marinara dipping sauce was perfect. I went for the seafood over pasta entrée - Fresh Catch, shrimp, calamari, clams, mussels, bianco, linguini but swapped the white sauce for red. I'm not sure what kind of fish was in there, but there was quite a bit of tender flaky fillets and a bonanza of shellfish and pasta. It was an absolutely wonderful dinner. I went for the blueberry cheesecake which was a ten star dish. How is it possible to eat and drink like that for around $35 just 29 miles from Manhattan? There's a lyric in Fly Me to the Moon that goes: "Fill my heart with joy And let me sing forever more" I think that perfectly sums up my impression of Casa Rina. I want to sing their praises to anyone who may be listening. read more

If I could rate less than 1 star, I would. If you want bolognese without meat, this is your place. If you want Marsala sauce without mushrooms or with very little sauce or flavor, this is your place. Cold veggies, ditto. Frozen potato croquettes, yes. Or if you want quality food cooked correctly, go anywhere else. Sorry to say for a restaurant that has been in the community as long as this one, it's really disappointing that the new owners don't know what good food is. There are other issues, but I think you get the point. This is one to avoid. read more

Been coming here for years and it never disappoints. The food is always prepared perfectly and the service is top notch. Our go to restaurant for many occasions. read more

It's a consistently good restaurant with great staff and solid food. Been coming here for many years and will be coming for many more

Let's start with the music and then the space itself and the food. Oh my gosh, everything was horrible. I could've opened a jar of pickles, peppers, onions, chopped up a piece of cheap cheese. Provolone. It was supposed to be chopped tomatoes that came out of jar. Everything came out of a jar and then my mail came Will have to say I ordered lamb with Buckley Rob on the side. I ordered a bowl of pasta with garlic and oil. The pasta had absolutely no taste and it looked and felt and tasted like it just came out of a microwave oven. The lamb chops came in smothered in a dark Brown gravy I was shocked to see these beautiful lamb chops covered with this muddy brown gravy that was not even homemade taste left in my mouth was something out of the box. The meat was done to perfection but overruled by this monkey gravy yeah Rob Rob it's OK. I love it, so all in all this, Restaurant gets no marks from me ever will I come back to this not ever...... what the heck happened to this amazing restaurant that used to be Personal and I used to love to come here for the Italian specials, eggplant pasta, meat, dishes, the salad you could not eat this food........ I give it no rating at all read more

Really good food and it's a cozy little spot. When there, order their amazing pistachio martini!!

Excellent staff - memorable event - it was a rehearsal dinner - the food met all expectations - seating was sufficient and the staff was able to accommodate a special order or two - I would definitely recommend it for an an event - read more

An all time favorite!! 1st the food is delicious, 2nd the service is and has always been great. Your gonna get more food then you bargained for at this restaurant and at a fair price! It isn't gonna get you a reduction on the bill but tell them you read my review and decided to give it a try, who knows maybe you'll get a little something with your coffee and make no doubt about it they will break my stones the next time I am in. read more

Went to casa rina last night for girls night dinner. For starters loved the ambiance of the place ! It felt like an old school Italian joint with the lighting, decor, and faint music playing in the background. The service was wonderful. Wine and water glasses were being re-filled and extra bread was always brought to the table. I also liked how the servers did not rush you and let you enjoy the night and food. For starters complimentary bread and butter and cheese, olive, and eggplant spread were given. We ordered fried calamari and a cold antipasto for starters. These were delish. The calamari was perfect. We then ordered linguine with clams which in my opinion was bland and lackluster. Then for my entree I ordered chicken Francese which was good but I felt could've used more flavors. With this came a side of risotto which was AMAZING and I recommend everyone try it. Overall I had a wonderful dinner and would return but did feel the food needed a bit more flavor and depth in my opinion. Still worth a try though ! read more

Never disappoints. My family of nine went to celebrate Palm Sunday. As always the food was fantastic and the service EXCELLENT! Not ONE complaint and these are picky eaters.

Our family loves this place we go once in awhile when we get together and the service is always top knotch! They have a nice 4 Course Special with a good selection , in fact I asked to get Eggplant Parm instead of Chicken Parm and it was no problem, the food is always delish! the bread is killer too! I recommend this place , great for large family gatherings too! read more

Food is good but expensive. Service is fair. Was there for a party. When asked a question the help didn't understand the question. The decor is dated. Air conditioning didn't cool off the room. Parking is limited. read more

I have visited this place countless times. Birthday parties, graduation, and many more. We have always enjoyed the food and the service was always good. I went recently during Covid and was happy to see it was open and also they practiced social distanceing. The chef specials were amazing and portions are always extra large. I would have gived a 5 star but i was very very disappointed in the fried calamari it was clearly frozen and very soft and chewy. This was the second time i had this experience with the calamari. I recommend getting the chef specials they are always fresh and tasty. Only trying to help. Everything else was great. read more

This is nothing against their food, haven't eaten there in a while rather than an interaction today. Called them up this morning to see if they're open Christmas for catering pickup, as I'm working that day and so are my coworkers. When asked this question the gentleman on the phone condescendingly stated absolutely not. If I ever need anything catered never considering here nor going to eat there. read more

I've always been a fan of Casa Rina. Huge portions, delicious food, friendly waiters. I do agree with the décor.. it's a bit dated - Not sure if that's the look they are going for with the old school Italian look, but it's def in need of an update. Came here for a bridal shower today. It was a Brunch Buffet. The food was all delicious (I'm not a breakfast person, so I skipped over all that and went straight for the lunch stuff.) I always look forward to my next trip back! read more

I think it was a great idea to come up with martini and meatballs and if we're in a group they group of people the 1st week the 2nd week I brought in a few and what I heard from all the others on the 1st week was the music was awful they have ADJ playing some weird eclectic music hard to dance to win over and ask them to play some classic rock or country or even Go he said he was playing freestyle disco I've never heard that kind of music the music was terrible hard to dance for a too loud so what happened they watched the whole crowd coming if the manager reads this get a good DJ that does all kinds of music all varieties from Lindy's to salsa to rock and roll classic country motown. 70s 80s That's the type of crowd going there when I actually went over to the DJ2 other couples thanked me for doing it I thought he was going to change what he was doing no he was being stubborn and actually kind of argumentative I give it 3 stars for the bartender and the meatballs they were delicious I would go there every week but they gotta change that DJ and I think they could get a crowd every week hes ruining it for them and hes getting paid to ruin it lol read more

ordered off the price fixed menu; was told that they did not have the cut of steak listed on the menu and would be subbed for filet. requested a mid rare cook. When i got the order, there were 6 potato wedges that were underdone and the 'filet' was two very thin slices of dry, very well done beef. The buffala mozzerella also tasted off as was the texture. mom ordered stuffer clams & stuffed shrimp which she said was good. definitely not worth the price... read more

We've passed this place a bunch of times and never stopped, but now I'm glad we did. It's a nice, older place with a lot of character, like the stone fireplace. The food was good & plentiful. We definitely had enough to take home for another meal. We shared a seafood appetizer for two: Lobster tail, shrimp and clams on the half shell. I had parmesan crusted chicken with creamy pesto and rigatoni. It was a lot of chicken! Great tasting, very moist. Perfectly cooked. My companion had ravioli with sausage and broccoli rabe and sausage, and loved it. For dessert I had lemon gelato and she had chocolate lava cake. Both were excellent, since we shared. We'll go back! read more

We love this place. Food is plentiful and very good value. Tonight we had the inclusive dinners (and had to take half home). Started with fried calamari and mussels Marinara, then a wonderful salad with a lot of different things in it. For mains we had spaghetti carbonara and veal Francese. Pasta very creamy and veal very tender. Dessert we had classic tartufo. Our waiter Oscar was very attentive, checking on us regularly. In fact all staff was friendly and attentive. This place is a neighbor gem. Also great parties here...we have done a few gatherings and they do not disappoint. read more

Warm atmosphere and attentive staff helped make a good meal great. Pleasant surroundings and a very varied menu such that all four of us each found what they liked - chicken, fish and veal dishes came out hot and well made. We will be coming back. read more

This place has been cranking out the goodness of delicious Italian fare with generous portions and excellent service for many years. They've gotten with the times and have begun using more elegant servicewear for nicer presentations, but this is come at the price of increased priceless. That notwithstanding if you're looking for a full service Italian restaurant with all the amenities and options, look no further! While yes, the parking does leave quite something to be desired, they answer by offering a valet anytime it's busy. A full bar with ample room to mingle before your seating for dinner. The pastry chef they have on staff comes up with great options to finish off your meal. If you have a special request don't hesitate to ask. If you want your fra diavolo extra hot - they'll happily accommodate, and if you'd like extra salad or a second potato croquette all you have to do is ask! They now own several other restaurants including Goldfish in Ossining, all of which I found great. If they have it on the special I recommend the Eggplant Napoleon, or the Gnocchi Quattro Formaggi. It's a great spot for a party or private event as well as for a romantic dinner for two! Bonappetito! read more

Service was outstanding best bang for your dollar for $ 20 for appetizers, dinner /dessert Veal was a little over cooked but was good for the price good for kids read more
