Casa Nuova Italian Restaurant

First of all, I will start out by saying the food was wonderful. I had no issue with the food. The price of the food, however, was borderline ridiculous. The "market value" pricing of many items on the menu ended up being a lot more than what it's really worth, and my friends and I were led to believe that salads came with the $20 entrees when in fact the salads were each around $8.50 extra, minimum. I was asked if I wanted chicken or shrimp on my gluten free carbonara, which at nearly $20 for a decent (but not large) amount of pasta, was already a lot to pay. Little did I know that 4 shrimp (just your average sized shrimp) was going to cost me an $11 extra and make my entree come out to $31. That's just the entree, not including the starter listed at "market value" which was an arrangement of salami, tomato and mozzarella that cost nearly half the price of the entree with the shrimp. While the cost was a surprise, the BIGGEST issue we had was the wait. With reservations made earlier in the day to be seated outside at 7:45 PM (since the inside was full), we were made to wait on the benches outside until 8:20 PM, a full 35 minutes later than our table was supposedly reserved for. While the food was great, the $144 (before tip) total for four people to each have a salad and a pasta entree was neither expected nor welcomed. Be very careful to inquire about pricing if you eat here, and be aware your reservations don't necessarily mean you get seated to eat within the first 35 minutes of being there.

Excellent Italian food, caters to gluten sensitivity people. Everything has spool much flavor!
