“My friend and I are always looking for new restaurants to try and keep a log of places we see on Facebook or Instagram. Casa Nostra was next on our list to try and we were not disappointed.
The place is small and cozy, we called to see if we could get a reservation since it was a Saturday evening, they were able to accommodate us at 7:30. When we arrived we did not have to wait to be seated, the table was ready. The server provided us with menus and asked if we needed our bottle of wine to be opened. Server came back with bread for us and apologized that they were unable to warm it, explained and apologized that they were having issues with the bread warmer. The bread was fine as it was. The owner (chef) came out to take our orders we ordered the special fig appetizer to share, the portion was certainly large enough for 2 people and was very good. For entrees we had the Shrimp Risotto and Lobster Ravioli both were extremely good and nice sized portions. We were too full for dessert. One nice thing about this restaurant was that they did not rush you - there was adequate time between receiving the appetizer and entree which I thoroughly enjoyed as many times the entrees come out way too close to the appetizers. I will definitely be returning again.“

“We had a 40th Birthday Party in the private room on Saturday night. It was absolutely fantastic. The room is beautiful ,they had it set up as we discussed. The service was exemplary. FOOD was amazing. We have been enjoying Forte since they opened. I would highly recommend this venue for any private party.“

“The restaurant was decorate for Valentine's Day very nicely. They had a Valentines drink menu with all the drinks at $18. The food was delicious. However, it's a bit pricey we ordered two soups, fried calamari, appetizer, eggplant roll a teeny appetizer, and rice ball appetizer. We got one chocolate lava cake, two coffees and two sodas. Our bill with tip was $175.“

“The man is an artist. The thin, thin pie .👍“

“I have to preface this with 2 things: my (now) husband and I both were born and raised in NJ before moving to FL and I grew up on Callandra’s at every family function. We couldn’t do the testing for obvious reasons, but I knew the cake would be great. Everyone was amazed when it came out. It was GORGEOUS! I worked with Aisha, who did tell me that the portions were generous. That was an understatement. I don’t think a single guest was able to finish their slices and took them home. The cake itself was the best I have ever had. Even the staff was able to have some.
The only reason I gave 4 stars is because communication in the days before the wedding was nonexistent. Having driven from S. Florida, there was no way to drop the cake topper off without going a few hours out of our way and neither of us were in any shape to drive from Sussex County to Caldwell that Friday. (We also forgot by the time we reached the state being so exhausted). I was told that the top would be left clear if we didn’t have an opportunity to bring the topper in, but we heard nothing about it having been delivered. I had to ask one of the restaurant staff at the reception to make sure it did arrive. Everything else far exceeded anything we hoped.
I can’t recommend this bakery enough for any special occasion (or even a mixed platter/box for family gatherings; just make sure if you have more than one chocolate fiend to buy extra brownies to prevent arguments). The flowers on the table itself were ours.“
