" Our experience was absolutely fantastic! We celebrated our anniversary at Casanova and couldn’t have chosen a better place. The service was impeccable; our waiter had great knowledge of the menu and wine pairings. For starters, we had the burrata and the duck confit, both exquisite. The highlight was definitely the seafood linguine; the flavors were spot on and it felt so fresh. The ambiance was perfect—just romantic enough. Definitely coming back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Casanova is a beautiful restaurant with excellent food and service; however, I feel it’s a bit overhyped. The pasta dishes were delicious, but I felt the portion sizes were quite small compared to the price, especially for a high-end restaurant. I don't want to discount the overall experience, though; the ambiance is delightful. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to our visit to Casanova, especially after hearing so much about their gnocchi. While the gnocchi did not disappoint, I was let down by the service. Our drinks took a long time to arrive, and we felt neglected at times. The food was good overall, but the prices definitely raised my expectations for larger portions. It’s a beautiful restaurant, but I might think twice before returning based on this visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Casanova is without a doubt a gem in Carmel! The ambiance is romantic and superb for a special date night. The food definitely lived up to the hype: fresh ingredients, beautiful presentation, and delightful flavors. I loved the emphasis on Italian fare; we ordered multiple pasta dishes and all were fantastic! I will certainly be back to share this dining experience with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" My overall experience at Casanova was positive! The atmosphere was so cozy, perfect for a romantic dinner. The staff were friendly and our orders arrived in a timely manner. I had the duck confit, which was delicious. Price-wise, I found it on the higher end, but I believe you pay for quality here. Definitely recommend it as a dining destination. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try Casanova, and while I enjoyed it, it didn’t quite live up to the hype for me. The food was nice, but the plating felt a bit too simplistic for the price. The atmosphere was lovely, and the service was friendly, making it an enjoyable experience overall. It might be worth another try in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited Casanova after hearing so many good things, and while it had its moments, it wasn't perfect. The food was tasty, especially the gnocchi and desserts, but we felt rushed during our meal. The prices are on the higher end and the portion sizes didn’t quite match up with that. Would I come back? Possibly, but maybe only for a special occasion. " (*Curated Review*)
