Casa Bella in Little Italy is the spot for stunning vibes, comforting Italian eats, and straight-up cheese pulls that will leave you in awe. We kicked off our feast with clams oreganata (a personal fave!), perfectly crispy fried calamari, and mozzarella in carrozza that came through with an EPIC cheese pull--seriously, it was a moment. Then came the pasta lineup of our dreams: creamy, dreamy carbonara, penne à la vodka that hit just right, classic spaghetti and meatballs, hearty rigatoni Bolognese, and a soul-warming bowl of pasta fagiolo. Every bite was like a warm hug, exactly what we needed after facing the freezing NYC streets.This spot truly gave everything--a gorgeous interior, iconic dishes, and all the cozy feels. If you're strolling through Little Italy, do yourself a favor and grab a seat at Casa Bella. It's a vibe you'll want to relive again and again. Full video reel on IG @foodaholicnj

We did not have a good experience here. The food is mediocre at best. My son would not even eat the pizza. It tasted like a frozen red Baron. I personally would not ever return here again. It is so overpriced for what you get plus they claimed It was happy hour. :-/ our drinks were two coronas and one glass of Cabernet. I'm assuming he decided to bring me the priciest Cabernet without asking. Plus, we were only a party of three and they charged us gratuityAlso, why is my bill a different price than My credit card was charged ?Very odd Don't bother going here

This Italian restaurant is right in the heart of Little Italy, and while it's a bit touristy (which isn't really my thing), it filled our stomachs. The white minestrone and meatballs were good. Not amazing, but good. The waiters were a bit abrupt, but it didn't take away from the meal. The prices were reasonable for the portion sizes. Would I go out of my way to visit again? Probably not, but it was an okay experience.

Tommy the Nose caught the attention of our group of 8. He was funny, friendly and had the best voice. Name a Frank Sinatra song and he'll sing it. Food was absolutely delicious! We had the calamari and lasagna. They were the best we've ever had!

My friend and I were lulled into this restaurant as we were galavanting around SoHo. The happy hour was nice and since it was really cold and windy outside we found reprieve inside. We sat in the bar area and were immediately served our mimosa and Bellini. The Bellini was especially delicious! We didn't stay long but it was an enjoyable experience nonetheless!

Incredible, incredible restaurant in Little Italy! My boyfriend and I came here for after-dinner drinks and then came back the next day for lunch. The entire staff and owners are fun, knowledgeable, great people. The espresso martinis are to die for, and the food is delicious. We plan to make this location a regular for our NYC trips. When you walk past, tell Tommy hello!

We weren't sure where to go for dinner and were pulled into Casa Bella by a man promoting the restaurant, and I'm glad that we did. We started with the meatballs which were some of the best I've had. The tomato sauce was so simple, so fresh, so amazing. My girlfriend had the rigatoni alla vodka which was fantastic; the pancetta added a richness that put it on a new level. I had the spaghetti pescatore and aside from amazing, the only way I can describe it is fresh. All of the seafood was simply top-tier and the sauce once again stood in a league of its own. Aside from this, our wait staff provided outstanding service and who doesn't love sitting outside for dinner on a beautiful fall evening? I absolutely can't wait to go back.

The ambiance is excellent and the staff are delightful. The food was very traditional and delicious. We had the meatballs, the lasagna and chicken with peppers and artichoke hearts. Followed by pistachio Gelato and NY cheesecakes. Gelato was good but not the best we have ever had and the cheese cake didn't disappoint, light and tasty.
