My favorite place for pizza, and occasionally to dine when we can. Food is always delicious and portions are just right. The staff is pleasant and friendly .

The grinders are good but for the price you pay they don't give you much. I ordered a meatball grinder and got a total of six small meatballs for $15.00. I tried the Italian grinder and the sandwich barely had any meat on it for $15.00. BEWARE IF YOU ORDER THE GRINDERS YOU DO NOT GET YOUR MONEY'S WORTH!!!

Casanova in Shelton is a cozy and charming spot with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes for a lovely night out. The service was friendly and attentive without being rushed. The lamb shank special was very good—tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The sides complemented it nicely, and the portion size was generous. The menu overall offers a nice mix of classic Italian dishes with a few creative touches. It’s a great local choice for a quality meal and relaxing evening—just shy of perfect, but definitely worth returning for.

Great food and great people! We go here often and the food is consistently good.
Embarrassed to admit that I have lived within a few miles of this restaurant for over 35 years and it took until just recently to see what I was missing for the 25 years or so that it has been open. The atmosphere is great, the food was fantastic, and I will most certainly be back!

The food is wonderful, prices very reasonable, and they are willing to customize to what you want. The owner and staff are very warm and friendly, the wine list is very good, and the atmosphere both inside and out is as close to a village restaurant in Italy as you can get in the US. This is one of our top 5 go to restaurants.

Yall catered my friend Lilys Baby shower. This was Literally the best Italian food I’ve had in my LIFE (even after vacationing in Italy a couple of times). I can’t stop talking about it. I live in NJ but we’re def stopping during the next visit to Connecticut

I am in town on business and this was the first restaurant that was recommended to me. Truly an amazing experience from start to finish.
As a solo traveler, I sat at the bar and was greeted by two regulars who were very friendly and welcoming. That would be the theme of the evening from both the other regulars as well as the folks who work at/own the restaurant. This seemed to be a locals spot where everyone knows everyone, and I was welcomed into that circle as a visitor with open arms. (One of the owners, all brothers I believe, was friendly, professional, and great to converse with as I dined alone.)
I ordered the scallops and they were cooked perfectly and were not tough to eat. Healthy portion as well and certainly worth the menu price. As I write this I am thinking about going back tonight for dinner. I also ordered a pizza to-go and really enjoyed it back at my hotel. (Plain cheese, but they have a list of specialty pies.)
If you're not in the mood to sit and dine, they do plenty of pizza carryout with a dedicated space for people to come in and carry out without disrupting.
Great customer service.
