Attended my coworker's retirement party. Had a room comfortable for a party of 65 with a small area for dancing. I will consider it, a venue for my own possible future occasions.

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 -

This is definitely an "Old School" Italian restaurant. We had a large party, and they have a dining area off to the side that nicely accommodated us. The wait staff kept our water glasses full and checked in often. I'm not sure if the food service is slow on purpose (so that you don't feel rushed), or if it's just slow. There was a ton of bread and butter on the table along with olives, cubed cheese and a tomato bruschetta sauce for dipping. The fried calamari was tender and tasty. I'd give it 5 stars. Everything else was fine. (I thought the Mussels Bianco were over salted.) Though my date loved his Shrimp Marinara (which had a lot of other shellfish in it too), our other friend didn't love the fillet of sole. BUT, another eating companion LOVED the Osso Bucco. Ya' can't please everyone, but it sure is a nice place to sit and enjoy everyone's company!

Hosted a 2 surprise parties here now. The owners and staff are all soo attentive and the food is absolutely amazing! It’s hard to get both good service and great food but let me tell you to host an 80 person party and everyone walk out saying the food was excellent is pretty amazing! Honestly dreaming about the meal until today!

Traveled from NYC for Cousin's party 80 ppl party on Saturday. Family style for apps, except for main course. Service attentive. All requests honored. I will be honest and say, I was quite surprised and didn't expect much from a Westchester Rest. But being a director in the food biz, I will say they did a great job! So keep doing what your doing. I always say if the food is so so but the service is excellent, than the place is worth another visit. But if food for a catered party is also good? that's hard to find then its a keeper! I will be back.

It was nearly impossible to find parking during the holidays so bad that I had to park at a shopping mall friends had suggested. Thank goodness I was not booted.

The food for the most part was really good, I had a side of risotto which I didn't care for ,too much parmasan cheese fir me ,but that is my own preference, some people may like it; other than that everything was great!!

I recomend...less salt...also...clarify your menu.....clam sauce vs white sauce...very different...clam sauce..is..pasta in clam juice...white sauce is thick with more flavor...2 or 3 types of cheese in it...mozzarela..parmessan...I think your menu indicates white sauce but...clam juice is what is served.

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 !
