Beyond Rude – I was having a glass of wine at the bar when an older women with blonde hair, a manager, came up to the bar and cleaned her eye glasses with vodka. I said I never saw that before. She responed in such a rude manner I can't say it here. I didn't know what to say. I said something polite thinking she may have misunderstood me becauseI wear glasses too. She said more very very rude things to me..I was so upset. I paid my bill and left. I have no idea why someone would attack a customer like that out of no where. N... read more

terrible – we agreed to go here because we were tired of dealing with the restaurant people on the street harassing us... we should have kept going. staff were rude and meals were unimpressive .. worked out to be $60 per person. there's always a catch with the special prices isn't there? i feel like the whole neighborhood exist just to take advantage of the "stupid nj tourist" well.. not anymore. i'll stay home next time thanks.

Insulting staff and horrible food. – I'm sorry but I have never been treated so horrible at any restaurant in my entire life, as iIwas at the Casa Bella in Little Italy. I'm from the city, live in Astoria and frequent a lot of restaurants, all over the city...and I cant say i've ever been on citysearch to write a bad reveiw until now. Honestly, forget the fact that the food is extremely overpriced for what they give you, the portions were very small, the ingredients cheap, and normally for 20 bucks you get salad, pasta, and ... read more

Worst ever By far the worst restaurant I have ever been to. The food sucked and when I asked about my 10 dollar single rum and coke it looked liked things might get violent. For a horrible mean and worse service they had the balls to add a 20 percent automatic tip to the bill. Never go hear. The people who have written positive reviews own the restaurant.

Had my wedding rehearsal dinner here I love this place. If you want the Little Italy experience, this is a great place. We had the package dinner and bought the bar at an amazing price. The food was good, and the wait staff was nice and attentive. I was especially pleased, since I had to make all the arrangements in advance from across the country. They made the night perfect!

NEVER EVER GO HERE – I'm a frequent restaurant go-er in NYC and this is possibly the WORST RESTAURANT I'VE EVER BEEN TO. If I could give it a negative rating, I would. I don't know how this restaurant got 3 stars unless the owners/managers themselves or their friends/family are writing reviews to boost ratings. The lunch special sign with a "great deal" of 10.75 or something like that was what drew us in but don't fall for it! It's definitely not a deal considering how bad the food is and how small the portions are. It's not... read more

Dirty and dry – Casa Bella is HORRIBLE. The glasses and silverware were oily and dirty, the bread was stale, and the food bland and mushy. (Imagine eating TV dinner at a restaurant.) The service is disorganized and staff seems overwhelmed, which indicates bad management. Skip this tourist trap and walk just one or two more blocks for a superior experience.

Not worth any penny – I will keep it simple: 3 pm on a recent Sunday afternoon. No wait to be seated. Waiter took 7 minutes to come to the table & was not very friendly. Bread arrived shortly after & it was stale, second batch of bread was stale too. Portions are really small. Had the pasta with clam sauce ~ very salty, pasta was undercooked & clams were cut up into small pieces, the garlic pieces were bigger. Wife had manicotti & again portion was small & temperature was warm - very disappointed to say the least. This is no... read more

very unpleasant -- stay away – This experience left our party of 4 upset and angry for the rest of the evening, ruining my husband's birthday. First, the waiter was gruff and denied requests that were slightly different than the menu, even though the restaurant prides itself in accommodating any special requests (from website, "Casa Bella has a very high standard for catering to all their guests, to satisfy each and every one"). They didn't have many beer options, so my husband did not get to have his choice of beer. I then ... read more
