Could Have Been Better 10/1/2006

We went here based on the location near the theater, but it wasn't as good as expected. The atmosphere was really great though. We ate upstairs but the downstairs room was very cozy and cute, plus they had outdoor seating. The bread was delicious but the rest of the food just seemed like average italian. Plus my noodles stuck together which was odd. more

cozy, rustic, good 8/13/2006

In the ultimate tourist trap area, Cascina offers a respite from bad food, high prices, and noise. The outdoor seating is excellent in the summer but the interior is cozy, quaint, and warm as well. Moderate prices, especially for the simply prepared, fresh, and tasty pasta dishes. And the bread, usually an afterthought, was very good. Very cute waiter too. Pros: convenient location, pasta, bread Cons: entrees were a bit pricey, service ok but not very attentive. more

I live close and dine there quite often; it's one of my favorite places in Hell's Kitchen. I abslutely love the pizza here - it's amazing, the crust is thin and crispy, the tomatoe suace is phenomenal. They also have very good wines and fast and friendly service. I highly recommend it. Pros: Great food/wine, Nice ambience, Friendly Service more

Romantic, cozy dinner 7/12/2006

My husband took me here for a romantic dinner; it was a magical night. We were seated on the balcony in the back. My huisband ordered a bottle of wine, which was delicious. He had the steak and loved it I had solmon in mustard sauce that was just right. The ambience and service were superb. We went to see Spamalot afterwards, which completed this romantic evening with laughs. Wonderful restaurant with terrific food and wine providing unpretencious and curteous service. Bravo! Pros: Food/Service/Atmosphere more

So many better places around the block 6/2/2006

I went to this place because it was right near where my friend and I were going to a show later. I ordered the spinach ravioli and he a pizza. The ravioli was the better of the two, but the serving was tiny, and the skin a bit rubbery. The pizza was quite terrible. The vegetables on top was not seasoned at all, and tomato sauce blander than the supermarket kind. Service was fast. I am puzzled by the good reviews. With all the better Italian restaurants nearby, I don't understand how this place stays in business. Pros: fast, convenient location Cons: food, overpriced more

Marginal/Mediocre Food 6/2/2006

We read good things about this restaurant but the food was very mediocre. It took way too long to be served, they seemed to be unable to handle the crowd they had, and the chicken we ordered tasted microwaved and the mashed potatoes tasted like they came from a box. The pasta was also nothing special. In a city with great Italian restaurants, it was a real disappointment. more

A great neighborhood restaurant 5/15/2006

I love this neighborhood cozy Italian place. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is just great. I love the food even more. The pizza is amazing. The steak is great. I also had some pastas and loved them. Desserts are amazing too, especially the home made tiramisu. The brick pizza oven gives the restaurant character and adds to the homey decor. The wines from their own label are great. The best part is, its all very affordible, so you can have great meals, close and often and it won't break your bank. Oh, that's refreshing. Pros: Greaat food, Friendly service, Inexpensive more

Pre-theater lovely dinner 5/2/2006

Three of my grilfriends and I had pre-theater dinner at Cascina last week. We all loved it. That was the best thin crust pizza we ever had! The stripe bass was amazing. We shared a tiramisu, berry tart and a pear tart all homemade and phenomenal. The wine was delicious as well. The prices were very moderate for what we had. We are planning another dinner at Cascina already. I highly recommend the restaurant. Pros: delicious pizza, great wine, inexpensive more

Romantic Italian 3/20/2006

My boyfriend, who is Italian, took me here for the first time a few months ago. We have been regulars ever since. The restaurant is so cozy and romantic. The food is amazing. Pizza from the wood-burning brick oven is the best in town. It's our little romantic get-away : ) Pros: great food, romantic ambience, great wine list more

Post Theater Dessert 3/19/2006

We loved our pre theater dinner so much, we decided to drop in after the theater and have some dessert and wine. The tiramisu was out of this world delicious. I never had tiramisu like that. We also had some homemade mixed berry tart, which was absolutely amazing. They have great selection of dessert wines, very nice. We had a great time, talking about the play in a nice, cozy, peaceful environment. The dinner pre-theater was excellent too. I tried the fish, that everyone is raving about - it is that good. My husband had the veal and loved it, my friends had pastas and pizza. Everyone loved their foood. The after theater dessert was calm and divine. This close from the theater, Cascina is a real find. We love it and will be back frequently. We have a play date next month!!! We all recommend it strongly. Pros: Homemade dessrets, Fabulous Food, Wonderful atmosphere more

Fabulous Pizza!!! 2/27/2006

We are theater lovers, so we dine pre-theater often and in the theater distric it's hard to find a reasonably priced, cozy restaurant, that doesn't serve mediocre food and doesn't push you out the door. Well, my friend recommended Cascina and what a delight!!! It's a warm and inviting with heavy wooden tables and a wood burning brick oven. They serve traditional country-style Italian, kind of my grandma's cooking, very authentic and flavorful. The portions are generous. The pizza from the brick oven is wonderful, so is the fish. Try the delicious homemade deserts. I loved the pear tart. Everything is very reasonably priced and delicious. Try the wines, really good and a good value. Lastly, the service is very friendly and fast, not pushy. You won't feel rushed out. This is our new pre-theater tradition. We've already been back 3 times and will be back for more. Truely wonderful! Pros: Wonderful food & wine, Great service, inexpensive more

Nice Pre-theater 2/19/2006

I got a gift certificate, so I took me husband here before going to the theater. We had a wonderful experience. Everyone was so friendly and nice. The hostess seated us on a balcony in the back. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with cozy, rustic feel to it. There is a actual wood-burning oven in the middle of the main room. The pizza comming out of that over is amazing. My husband had the striped bass, and I see some reviewer wrote about it already, but he raved about it. I tried some myself and I agree, delicious. The wine was very good and fairly inexpensive. The service was quick. We were ready right in time for the theater 2 blocks away. We will be back. I highly recommend it especially for pre-theater. It's hard to find an affordable, decent place that won't rush you out, well here's one! Pros: excellent fish, great pizza, quick service more

Go pre-theater/Great wine 2/16/2006

On a friend's recommendation, we tried to go for the pre-theater dinner here recently and had a wonderful meal. I agree with most of the reviewer, I had their solomon with white wine and loved it. My husband had the steak and really liked it. The wait staff was pleasant with a no-nonsense attitude and great wine recommendation. The restaurant has its own wine lable and terrifc wines at that. The ambience is another plus; cozy and romantic. We will be back. I highly recommend it. Pros: Great food & wine, Friendly service, inexpensive more

Romantic Retreat 2/15/2006

I took my girlfriend to Cascina for Valentine's dinner and it delivered. The atmosphere is very cozy and romantic. The brick wood-burning oven stuck in the middle of the room gives it a rustic, pleasant feel. The food is superb. The pizza is great, the ossobuco phenomenal and the wine really great. The staff is wonderful, very friendly and knowledgable, especially about wines. The prices are friendly to your wallet. Overall, it's a great value all served up in a beautiful, romantic atmosphere. I highly recommend it! Pros: Great food&wine, Nice decor, Good service more

Great Romantic Spot 2/14/2006

I took my wife to Cascina for Valentine's Day dinner on my sister's recommendation. It was spectacular. The restaurant is warm and very romantic with a big brick oven in the middle. It reminded us of a place in the Alps where we go skiing. The food is so good here. My wife had the pizza, really good. I had the steak, it was very good. The wine was excellent. Service was attentive and fast. We had a great time. I highly recommend it. Pros: Great food, Romantic Ambience, Good service more

Tiramisu -the best I've had 2/14/2006

What a wonderful, cozy, romantic restaurant. My husband took me here for a romantic dinner this weekend, it was glorious. Spectacular chicken, my husband had the pasta with seafood and loved it. We both enjoyed the wine, wonderful and from their own vineyard in Italy. Just a really great and romantic dinner. We got away from the kids and the craziness of the city without leaving it. I highly recommend Cascina for romantic ""departures"" from the ordinary! Pros: Romantic/cozy, Wondrful food/wine, Great service more

Glorious Fish!!! 2/9/2006

I agree with one of the reviewers about the fish, incredible. If you love fish, you will appreciate this dish. The striped bass (they call it here branzino) amazing. I wonder about the bad service, the other reviewer mentioned. We had a great experience. In fact, my friend's steak, ordered medium/rare, came more on a medium side than rare, but the waiter speedily took it back, and brought it back more rare and he loved it. Our waiter was very good and attentive. The manager sent us a complimentary glass of wine for the steak not being cooked like he wanted. Very nice, so the service has either improved greatly, or it was just a fluke. I have been here maybe 5 or 6 times and each time I had great service and good food. Well, judge for yourself, but the fish is worth checking our regardless of everything else. Pros: great fish, nice ambience, good wine list more
