The atmosphere is the best thing about this restaurant. We ordered a gnocchi pasta and a 45$ risotto with black truffle which was way below the mark! (The price is not mentioned in the menu). The tiramisu was okay, not the best. I think I have had better pasta at the airports.

Enjoyed a delicious family dinner at Casa Nostra! Beet salad (Insalata Di Barbabietola) was amazing, and the duck parpadelle was the star. Just wished they had Montepulciano by the glass!

This is my favorite restaurant ever since I discovered it. The food is almost uniformly excellent. I took a chance on the swordfish this time, even though I gave up on ordering it in restaurants decades ago since they always overcook it, and it was perfect. We told them beforehand we were celebrating a birthday, and they brought out a plate of several little desserts, artistically arranged. And since they cancelled my reservation a couple of weeks ago due to having to make some kind of repairs, they started the meal with free bruchetta. On all days except Friday and Saturday, there's free corkage. But the best thing about it is the lovely ambiance and friendliness of the entire staff. I can't praise this place highly enough.

Food is always Delicious! I have been here several times and the staff are very nice, professional and service and food are excellent! We brought our favorite wine to enjoy with our delicious dinner, on weekends there is a $20.00 corkage fee. Our server was very accommodating to our request, we were able to substitute Spaghetti for Paradelle at no extra charge. Did I mention the food is delicious! The location may be a little difficult to find as it is located in a industrial complex, but the restaurant is beautiful. Definitely a must!

Service ambiance were over the top. It was our anniversary and we were greeted with two glasses of sparkling which was so nice. We had a very nice bottle of wine and a yummy caesar salad but for the first time ever I was disappointed in my entree...this has never happened so I was shocked...I had the Tagliata Casa Nostra and the meat was very grizzly. We will still return as this is not the norm so just hoping it was an off night.

No big greeting at the door but the food was great. Made up for our last experience when we got takeout and sadly the food was inedible and had to be thrown away. I wanted to tell the manager but no one was there. My favorite local Italian restaurant needs to step it up a bit.

The staff was wonderful in acknowledging our anniversary with two glasses of sparkling wine and a complimentary tiramisu for dessert. The manager and staff could notg have been nicer.
This restaurant still remains my favorite in the area. The food never disappoints and in a time where customer service has disappeared this restaurant goes out of their way to make you feel welcome. Love the beautiful setting as well. I highly recommend it.
Outstanding in every aspect. Food was delicious and lamb chops cooked to perfection ?. Caesar salad was amazing and incredible with an authentic Caesar dressing. Service was attentive, friendly and caring. A perfect dining experience at this amazing gem of a restaurant.

Last week was my first time to dine at Casa Nostra. To my surprise the owner greeted us at the reservation desk, and when he heard it was our first time he immediately told our waiter to take good care of us. The owner even checked back in with us after our appetizer's. We had incredible service by our waiter and the whole staff! All of us really enjoyed what we ordered. Deserts were awesome. You can count on that we will be back soon.

We have eaten at the Casa Nostra in Pacific Palisades and really enjoyed it. The food in Westlake was horrible. Two of us had the Mediterranean Sea Bass which was dry and overcooked. The cioppino had absolutely no taste and we had to add salt to it. The ceasar salad tasted like it was store bought and with croutons that were so small and flavorless. Such a disappointing meal. We would have sent it back but did not want to make a scene. We walked out so unsatisfied. I would not recommend this restaurant.
