This is the perfect spot if you want to experience authentic Italian food in an authentic Italian environment! Casa Italia is reminiscent of so many hole-in-the-wall eateries we discovered while traveling around the old country. Everything we ordered was full of flavor and perfectly balanced. They have excellent wine, apertif, digestivo, and caffe offerings, as well as a full bar. The service was amazing, even given that our server had a party of 20 and a few other tables! (Shoutout to Carina!) The food was very reasonably priced. Some reviews state that it's pricey. It's not pricey at all if you compare it with fine Italian dining, and the portions are generous! The atmosphere is casual, but the food is comparable and/or better than any fine Italian restaurants I've patroned. And as an Italian American who has traveled to Italy several times, Chicago, and NYC, I've patroned quite a few over the years. :) At Casa Italia, you can expect a lively atmosphere and delicious, authentic Italian cuisine. On a side note, my husband is a symptomatic celiac and didn't have any issues! We can't wait to go back!
