3.8. Nice vibe, well-lit. Kind of reminiscent of a Joey’s’ or milestones-type of place. Big menu with something for everyone. Favourite item was the Ceasar salad but it was definitely over-dressed. They use vegetable oil in the fryer (which has soybean oil in it) so if you avoid seed-oils be mindful of that. There is a big pasta selection and they’re good but not amazing. Classic family-style Italian, the pasta is also over-sauced. Drinks were good, I had the chai tequila drink and really enjoyed it. Ample wine selection as well.

We booked for a Wednesday lunch. There was a large group in the back so we sat at the bar to avoid noise. Staff were extremely pleasant and accommodating. The food was out quickly and hot. Presentation was superb and everything was delicious. Very authentic flavours. Also very good portions for the price. Thank you.

A nice Italian restaurant with differing dishes and a. Ice selection of shared plates. Wines and beverages are lovely. The service is good and if you’re able to get seated on the second floor it’s a lot quieter. Beautiful interior and even sitting at the bar is fun. We’ve been a few times for date nights and always have a good time. One thing is that their vongole dish has changed.

Visited this restaurant with my friends last night, on August 27th, 2024. This was my first time here and it was a great experience. To start, the interior is beautiful! I love the decor and the lighting which makes the experience feel luxurious! Great vibes for dinner with friends, family, and for dates. The service was also great and our server recommended some great dishes for us to try. We also got our water refilled routinely without needing to ask, which is a must for me while dining in. We started with some bread and oil ($5) and calamari ($20-something) for our appetizers, which tasted great. For my meal, I got the Genovese ($31) and it was absolutely delicious! It was cooked to perfection and everything was very nicely plated. Completely cleared my plate and have no concerns whatsoever. Overall 10/10 and would definitely come back again!

I had dinner tonight, it was an excellent experience, a beautiful blonde girl served me, my parents and grandparents. This girl exudes happiness. Is it possible to have her first name? We were on the table in front of the bar at the entrance of the restaurant. I recommend this restaurant 100% for a trip to this city!

I had a lovely meal here. I've heard great things about Casa, but I wasn't able to go on my last trip due to limited capacity during the pandemic. My experience this time did not disappoint. It was pricey, but a must for special occasions. Bonus: It was the perfect location that had a patio with a view of Market Square.

Despite my birthday reservation dinner being messed up and the wrong dates - Casa gave me and my 18 friends of mine a free round of shots .. not only that . But we ended up going somewhere else for dinner & they called and put our first round on them. I just wanted to say a big thank you and no hard feelings for messing up my birthday dinner - so so very kind You guys definitely made up for it :) Happy holidays friends :) Thanks again

Vegetarian options: Took the suggestion from the server and had the MELANZANE PARMIGIANO to start and the RAVIOLI DI FUNGHI. Both were very tasty. We also ordered the BRUSCHETTA, but it was very average tasting for the price of $20 for 4 slices.

Always a staple for us. Have been there weekly during OHL season. The menu never fails us. The staff are always attentive and accommodating. Love some of the new items on menu. I would do 5 stars for atmosphere, but its loud and hard to hear the person next to you at times (were mostly seated at the bar, but have tried tables upstairs, downstairs, and harvest table). I think theyve been working on this as weve noticed a bit of a difference.

The food was great and service was excellent. Thank you Allen. I do have a few suggestions. The choice of music and volume could use an adjustment. We found the sides strange. Grilled octopus starter with potatoes? Small side salad would be better. Sea Bass was delicious but too much risotto...cut serving in half. Lamb chops with salad? This is where the potatoes should have been. However that said, we will be back. Wheelchair accessibility: Bathrooms are upstairs.

The portion size of my meal was small. The butternut squash ravioli was very tasty but it looked lonely on the plate. Could have used some salad greens. I had to order dessert as I would have stoll been hungry. The apple spice tiramisu was also tasty and a good portion size. The bread for starters was also very tasty. The waitress was attentive. The upstairs dining area definitely needs some ambience as I stared at blank off white drywall during my meal. Also could have used some low music perhaps or better lighting to give a nicer atmosphere for dining. Given the number of restaurants, I would try elsewhere next time. Vegetarian options: There were several vegetarian pastas.

Service was lovely; Bresaola (?) yummy; my husbands ravioli really good; my pasta with shrimp was fine. My low score is mostly due to the atmosphere. It doesnt have any! Since the renovation it has taken on the bad-tributes of a dentists waiting office or an upscale cafeteria. Overhead pot-lights; no real Art on the walls; terrible uncurated music; and dead acoustics. The old bar-area was always buzzy and busy; the new one is empty and sterile. The seating areas were lush and cozy and now they are cold and angular. Im not saying the old Casa was perfect - it definitely needed some thought and reconfiguration, but this is not yet an improvement. It is such a shame.

First time. Adam was our waiter. Very nice and efficient. 8:15pm reservation, seated right away. All 4 of us commented on how comfortable the chairs were. Plus, we didnt feel crowded. Started with bruschetta and pre dinner drinks. Then salads, then entrée. 2 bottles of wine. Shared frozen mousse with hazelnuts and cappuccinos. Everything was delicious. The place was full. Everyone was enjoying their food and socializing and enjoying the slow, non hurried pace. We will be going back.

We went to this resto on April 26/24. The atmosphere was great, a little noisy but got used to it. Our server was Elijah. My husband has been on a restrictive diet fairly recently and when he explained it to Elijah, he double-checked with the kitchen to see if the choices would fit into this. He also went in while it was being made to confirm the process, and to make sure it fit with my husband. Great guy and very thoughtful. The place has been around for almost 40 yrs but the design has been kept up to date. The night we were there, was one of the first good weather days for eating outside but we reserved for in. Place was hopping everywhere. The food was delicious, fresh, presentation was pretty. He had verde salad with shrimp, grilled octopus, and a couple of lattes and I had carpaccio di manzo and zucca e salvia, and a couple of glasses of wine. Yummy! There was no room left for dessert. This would be worth the trip to Kingston just for the dinner. Cost, not including tip, was $142.95.

The food is actually not bad but waiting for too long at least 45 minutes. All of us are starving and we dont even see a piece of bread coming. Pricy place but its really not bad if youre rich and have so much time for waiting plus youre not too hungry. By the way theres no kids menu its not kids friendly.

We had our first dinner in March in the newly renovated space which is a great improvement. Well except for the noise. Our wait person said that they were trying to do something about this. We asked if would be quieter in the new created 2nd floor and the reply was , yes. We decided to give Casa another try in early April and specifically asked for an upstairs seating for our Wednesday reservation explaining that it was because of the noise. When we arrived we were told they dont use the upstairs space during the week. Instead thay sat us at the back probably the noisiest part of the restaurant--not paying attention to client needs. Now we are reluctant to try Casa again. We enjoy the food, the service is always great but the noise is a nonstarter.

We were visiting Kingston from Cambridge over the weekend and had looked ahead of time for a unique restaurant to try downtown. We were waitlisted for a 5:30p reservation but it came through and we were able to dine at Casa Saturday evening. It was our first visit so to me the atmosphere was lovely and it appears theyve done a great job with recent renos. The food and service were top notch. We had bread & oil, caesar salad to share, which they graciously split onto two plates for plates for us, spahettini con polpette and aragosta. Everything was delicious, well presented and good portions. I wish I had gotten the servers name (or remembered it) because she was fabulous! As it turned out, my long time boyfriend worked with our fabulous server to pull off a surprise proposal. The entire was staff was so wonderful about it and made it extra special with an added beautiful touch of champagne and dessert. We are so grateful for the experience. Considering we werent sure if we had the reservation to being able to share our milestone there, it was an eventful night! Casa is now part of our story and such a great restaurant that we will now always be able to come back to! If you were there Saturday April 13th, thank you so much everyone (staff and patrons!) for creating a wonderful memory and being part of our journey! ~ Amanda & Jason

It was our first time at casa. The atmosphere was ok, our waiter was very nice and friendly. I am always bothered when you go to a semi fine dining restaurant and the food is not that good. Not only were the portions very small, but my fish was overdone and chewy. When you are paying $40 for a small portion it needs to be a home run every time. So disappointed to say the least. We were offered a piece of cheesecake to try and make up for the poor food quality, but The cake was clearly just out of a box and was not worth the calories. My wife got the special of the night it was also a disappointment. The food was not taken off the bill but we were offered a free drink instead. Definitely not worth the money!!

Food was amazing-delicious as previous! Service was perfect. Big downfall was the atmosphere. My husband and I were there for a significant anniversary. Our table was near the open kitchen entrance floating between two other tables. Staff needed to pass through to get to other tables which definitely impacted the romantic intention of the dinner out. It seems everyone s voice is spinning around in the room-combine that with the open kitchen/dishes it was very loud. We re not sure if we ll return.

Returned to Casa for our first visit since the renovation for as a group of 4. Atmosphere was nice and updated. Food was just OK. Lamb Ragu + feta addition was very bland and had no noticeable feta outside of a few tiny crumbs despite paying $4 extra. Caesar salads were bland. Our guest did however enjoy the smoked mozzarella ravioli special. We were asked once by staff if we wanted another beverage and my wine order never appeared during the meal so I requested to cancel it. Not a bad restaurant, but not even close enough of a notable experience to warrant this level of dining $. Better restaurants to visit in town if you are looking for an elevated dining experience.

Very good food, service was excellent and atmosphere was very nice. I deducted one star as paying for a bill over 200$ and not providing at least one piece of bread is very disappointing. We paid for bread and the beginning of meal which was fine. My son ordered a plate of pasta and asked for one small piece of bread for the sauce which is a compliment we were told sorry we have to charge because of counting our inventory. Very disappointing as mentioned, the bill with tip was close to 300$ and not even a small piece of bread.

Service was great, food was alright. The quantity and quality has somewhat lessened since before the renovation. The saddest part of this restaurant is the renovation - the space is now cold, it feels like a dinner you go to after a conference meeting. Its grey and the lighting is dim in an unintentional way. The bar area and kitchen area look nice and modern, but otherwise Casa has lost its charm, romantic, home-y vibe that made it such a great place for a date.

My wife and I showed up to Casa spontaneously for our Wedding Anniversary tonight, we are from out of town. Upon entering the restaurant and asking if they had room for a party of 2 we were presented with the greeter inform us that as long as we were out by 6:30pm it be fine . I took everything in me to not look at my wife and goto another establishment. I found that greeter to be rude and honestly, the owner should have a long talk with her about what is proper customer service. Aside from that, the waitress was really friendly, prices were not outrageous and the food was actually really good. I had the Spaghetti and meatball and my wife had a lemon chicken linguini and we shared a cheesecake. Was delicious. It was just the beginning that seemed off and my wife and I agreed we just felt rushed.

I used to be a regular guest at Casa at least once monthly for many years. Last week was my first dinner with friends since reopening. My impressions are: 1. Food - great quality and portions as always. Great wine list. 2. Service - OK. We had one waitress who was jumping around the table all the time. A kind of restless person who was rushing with moving the glasses and dishes as soon as we ate the last bite. Annoying. 3. Ambience - disappointing and very loud !!! The owners probably invested a great deal of money for a very simple design, but Casa lost it s elegance, privacy and beauty. I would ask for a desinger to give me a money back !!! The Casa lost its signature!

Went there while visiting a friend in Kingston. The restaurant was rather busy, yet the staff offered us to sit at the bar while we waited for a table to get freed. They didnt have to offer us this alternative yet they still did which meant a lot. The food was great and the drinks were wonderful. I would definitely recommend a visit at Casa Domenico for a good time and good food.

Went there to celebrate my girlfriends graduation and I could not believe how good the food was. The gnocchi with cheese sauce is one of the best dishes I have had. The lamb fettuccine was perfect as well. 100% recommended, whether its a special occasion or not. This place wont disappoint.

Absolutely fantastic Italian cuisine and great service. Ceasar salad was one of the best Ive had and the gnocchi di Casa was incredibly flavoured with roasted pistachios, mushrooms and gorganzola cheese. Would highly recommend this restaurant if you love Italian cuisine and are looking for a nice meal.

Ive never been disappointed with the food or service at Casa. Ambience is great. Lively. A bit loud, but not so much that you cant converse. Portions are very generous, especially for fine dining. Not cheap, but worth it.

We visited this restaurant on March 27th, 2022. The ambience is okay although when I visit an Italian restaurant of this price point I expect to hear low ambient Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra, not the medley of assorted modern music that was playing. Service was fairly prompt and pleasant, and our water glasses were quickly filled - only to find that both glasses were stuck to the tabletop - which itself was not very clean. My partner sat on the bench seat side of the table with no complaint; I sat on a chair that positioned the table somewhere in line with my breast bone. All of the chairs are the same, and all of them are too low, probably chosen by an interior designer having more concern for appearance than ergonomics. Moving on to the food, it was actually very good. My partner started with calamari, which when arrived smelled strongly of fish, but she assured me there was no unpleasant taste. I had been hoping for a soup to start but none was offered, so I had veal meatballs which were in a very rich red sauce. Delicious. As a second course we had Caesar salad which was plentiful to the point where I could not eat all of it. Also delicious. For a main my partner chose a shrimp pasta dish which she assured me was yummy - it was supposed to be a bit spicy but it wasnt really. I had Black Cod, a delectable white fish on a bed of small chunks of sweet potato and greens. We were entirely satisfied by these main choices. Overall I think a little more attention to detail would improve this restaurant, and some chairs more suited to the table height.

My favourite spot for classic Italian in Kingston. While I was at Queens this was my roommate and Is go to spot for special dinners, along with being my parents fave spot when they visited. I absolutely loved everything I tried and highly recommend the butternut squash ravioli (ZUCCA E SALVIA) as an appy to share or entrée. I cant wait to be back in Kingston to visit Casa Domenico again.

Amazing dinner! The wine list is amazing, service extraordinary. We were a party of 11 and everyone was very happy with what they ordered. I feel that you can t go wrong here. I had the carpaccio to start and the Diavola pasta with shrimp and nduja salami (which was fantastic). The portions were very generous for the quality of the food. I also tried my friends grilled octopus, which I would say is a must have, and even the bread and oil is a must order for the table.

The food was fantastic, I had the carbonara and it was perfect. The inside of the restaurant is nice and not very noisy. The service was bad. They took forever with the drinks. At the end I had to order my coffee twice from the same waitress because it never came, she asked me who take that order the first time. Someone in my table received his dish without peas and when he noticed later and asked, they took the plate inside and came back to told us that they didn t have peas. I think that is something you let people know in advance. Minutes later the waitress came with asparagus as a courtesy but she didn t ask him if he wanted that or something else. Overall, I found it overpriced. I had better carbonaras for way better prices.

If the food at Casa Domenico wasn t as delicious as it was I would have been disappointed by the experience. We made a reservation for 8:30 and were not seated until 8:45, and were completely ignored by all the staff during that wait time. Additionally, it was clear that we were our waitress last priority. She took a long while to take our orders. The food took a really long time to come out. Luckily, the food was divine and almost made up for the long wait. Pricing was fair for what you get. The food is worth it but be prepared to wait before you get your order.

ABSOLUTELY 5 STAR. The food was amazing but I have to say the few staff that were working that night were the STARS! We were there on Tuesdays, August 2nd. They were short staffed(as many establishments are at this time) but each and every one of the staff that were working in the packed restaurant, bar, and patio never showed one bit of stress. We felt very well served from the moment we walked in. The servers and hosts all worked together to make sure everyone was taken care of. Honestly, even if the food had sucked, which it absolutely did not, I would go back because of the amazing service. WAY TO GO CASA!

DISAPPOINTING SERVICE! DELICIOUS FOOD!! My second visit. This time with the family. The waitress had an attitude and was very curt! Forgot to get her name. She was clearly nice to other customers. Was it our colour ? Ironically, it was multi-cultural day in Kingston with many festivities. We tipped her anyway, as it is the expectation. Would definitely give 5 stars. food, delicious and authentic. We tried the calamari, grilled octopus, penne alla vodka, puttanesca and shrimp linguine.

Went in with my boyfriend for our anniversary. We made a reservation prior too, came, sat and waited for an hour. No one came to speak to us at all after seating us, and several tables who showed up after were served. I had asked someone who our server was supposed to be and nobody had an answer for us. I was really looking forward to dining with Casa but I sadly will not be coming again, or recommending to others. Very disappointed.

In the past I would have given this place a 4 or 5 star. However, I was pretty disappointed that they don t offer fresh parmesan. For an Italian restaurant to brig drided parmesan when requested more cheese was very disappointing. Where s the fresh Parmiggiana Reggiano!! And service is slow, slow - canned smiles, no real sense that customers are valued. Disappointing. And this used to be one of my favourite downtown restaurants.

He requested that a candle and Happy birthday be put on the dessert as a surprise for me.The person who took the reservation assured him that the restaurant would be happy to do it. Dessert arrived with nothing on it. If you are going to have a special dinner here make sure you always get the name of the person and call the day of your visit. Or better yet ask for email confirmation so your special occasion wont be dampened. Otherwise our server was very good.

Went to Casa Dominico for dinner to celebrate my husbands birthday. I chose it because it had gluten free options and I called ahead to confirm this (because we were visiting Kingston) however there was some confusion when we arrived about what was available. I ended up ordering one of the chicken dishes, which was pretty good. My husband ordered the branzino and said it was amazing. The service was attentive but lacked polish. Overall, an enjoyable meal.

Early in the pandemic four young tourists were sitting at the next table. One of the women shoved her phone towards me and demanded I take her picture. I said no thank you and turned back to my friend and my dinner. This was early in the pandemic but I knew not to touch someone elses phone. The woman kept demanding I take their picture then her husband stood up and started saying he would fight me about it. I just waited it out but next the woman started screaming , I FEEL THREATENED! I FEEL THREATENED! The manager came to see what was happening then threw me and my deaf friend out on their word. 80% of this was the fault of the evil tourist customers but the restaurant blew it on the other 20% and now theyve lost regular locals.

3 of us went to dinner on Saturday evening at 4:30.( this was the only time available) We were told the next reservation would be arriving at 6:30 at the time of booking. We had drinks, 3 appetizers, 3 mains and a bottle of wine. All of which were lovely a long with our service. At almost 6:15 we were told that there were people at the bar waiting for our table....I then asked if we did not have the table until 630 as we were told 4 days prior..we were then told that there was some type of miscommunication. No apologies , just an expectation and a healthy hint that our stay was finished. We were finishing our drinks and had paid our bill too...what a way to cramp our style on an otherwise lovely evening. We will return, but not anytime soon.

Incredible dinner from start to finish. The octopus was perfectly cooked and some of the best I ve ever had. The gnocchi was very rich, has a strong mushroom flavour and the pistachios give it a nice crunch. The risotto, chefs kiss, knocked it out of the park! Decent amount of spice, smokey pancetta, the meatiest shrimp cooked to perfection. I can t recommend it enough.
