We had a wonderful dinner at Casanova Shellharbour. The tomato bruschetta was fresh and flavourful and the spaghetti marinara was so delicious, and the ham and pineapple pizza was deliciously balanced. The Cocktail Cupid Blush was amazing. And Sam provided outstanding service and made us feel truly welcome. Highly recommended to all.

I recently visited a Casanova Italian restaurant, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with soft lighting and classic Italian décor that made the place feel authentic and cozy. Overall, I highly recommend this Italian restaurant to anyone who loves authentic Italian cuisine, great service, and a relaxing dining atmosphere. I will definitely visit again. I saw one guest was on wheelchair & Sam took care of it. Nice of you man Cheers to Sam, Sunil, Sai, and the amazing kitchen team! 👏

We were really happy with our experience at the Shellharbour restaurant. We had the arancini, and mussels in white sauce as entrees, and the supreme pizza and a seafood risotto as mains. The food was fantastic! The service was quick and the staff were really friendly. We're definitely going back. Its a definite yes and highly recommend from us. Thank you to the team at Casa Nova for a really lovely night out. (We forgot to take photos of the mains because we just dove in and ate them! 🙃)

🍝 Casa Nova Italian: A Taste of Rome in Shellharbour! Casa Nova Italian, the newly opened in Shellharbour, has been the subject of much buzz, and let me tell you—the hype is absolutely deserved. This is, hands down, the best Italian food we've experienced outside of Italy. Each dish instantly transported me back to a trattoria in Rome. The entire meal was flawless. The pizza was superb, with a perfectly blistered crust and fresh toppings. The gnocchi was unreal—pillowy soft and melting in your mouth. The risotto was cooked to perfection, creamy and rich, and the chicken dish was also wonderfully flavourful and delicious. Paired with a suggested good wine, the entire experience was nothing short of the perfect meal. Key Takeaways • Food Quality: Exceptional; authentic Italian flavours. • Must Try: The gnocchi and pizza are non-negotiable! • Price Point: Note that the restaurant is on the pricier side ($$$$), but the superior quality and taste more than justify the cost. We are already planning our next visit to explore the rest of the menu. Highly recommended!
