Service is so friendly and personable, the atmosphere is great and feels very inviting and comfortable. I definitely felt welcomed. The womens bathroom is so beautiful too with a hand painted mural of Italy. Absolutely beautiful. The live piano player is excellent and adds a luxurious touch to your dinner experience. And now the food! The pizza is the best I ever had, and I usually hate pizza. The mozzarella sticks are huge and gooey, the tiramisu is so soft and velvety. And the chicken parm is MY FAVE! It’s to die for!!! I also had the Italian salad, and the dressing is just perfect on the salad. 10/10 you have to go here!!!! And ask for Miranda she’s amazing!!!

I gave my Mom a gift certificate to LA Casa Nostra Ristorante as a Christmas gift but it closed before she could use it. The new owners honoured the gift certificate and hosted a wonderful evening for her and Joe. The following is the text she sent me when they got home: Thank you for a wonderful evening, Jay and Cheryl! The food was homemade and tasty with generous portions. Our server/manager was outstanding. She was helpful thoughtful efficient and funny. They kindly accepted your gift card with no hesitation and went out of their way to make it a happy experience. The atmosphere was charming and cosy with an old fashioned Italian vibe. Authentic upbeat Italian music played quietly in the background. The place had a mix of ages from a young couple in their 20’s, all the way to us in our 80’s and everything in between. It was a very pleasant evening, we will be back!! Thank you again!

We took a chance on this darling restaurant based on Google reviews. They don’t have a website so it was a little difficult to know what to expect. What a gem in the city of Thunder Bay!! The service was impeccable and the food was fantastic! The portion sizes were generous and we both had leftovers. It’s always nice when a salad comes with your meal! My spouse had the chicken parmesan, where he could choose the pasta he wanted. I ordered the seafood lasagna with shrimp, scallops, and crab. The bread is fresh and homemade. I hope to visit again if we ever make it to Ontario again.

Nick, the owner, was really nice. I managed to go in on a night where it wasn't busy, so I got a more personal experience. He played an Eagles song on the piano and sang. The food was very good and you can tell the sauce is homemade. I would recommend this place to anyone who travels through Thunder Bay.

Great authentic Italian restaurant with quality service and quality food. Owner stopped by for a visit and you could tell he was proud of his restaurant and his food! There was live piano music played during dinner which was very cool. All the dishes at our table were beautifully presented. There was bread and garlic butter served with the meal. As well, most meals came with a small oil n vinegar salad. The kids loved the pizza. My only negatives are that the tables are fit tightly together so that the backs chairs from different tables touch and because if this, it's a pretty loud atmosphere. As well, as amazing as the food is, the prices on certain items were a little out of line ...ie a small soup for 14. Overall though, great experience and will visit again!

If you are looking for an Authentic Italian Restaurant? Then look no further it has the atmosphere & a real taste of Italy. The portions are very generous as well. With one visit it has became my favorite. First, they put the freshly baked bread with garlic butter on the table. The panzorito was so delicious & my husband had the spaghetti with meatballs as he is Italian it's hard to impress him but they most certainly did.

At first we were a little sceptical walking in but wow! The service was phenomenal and the food was perfect! We are from Ottawa/Toronto area and let me tell you, you do not see a lot of classic real Italian food like this these days. The chef clearly puts his heart into the food he presents to costumers and the owner should be rightfully proud to own this place. Thank you for such an amazing night!
